14 THE Qlillil. The Cruel Critic OT IIO! The life-guards! Here we are again, folks! Bigger and better than ever! Get out the sponges. You 'll need 'em after reading Hliemodeled in Vain. For the tears will come, shed them where you will. Page Priscilla W'ayne5 we need some ad- vice. Fan you imagine doing a reverse on your personality, falling heir to bli37,000. and still losing your one and only? The worm will turn, but it hasn't anything on our Remodeled Suitor. Ah, well, good old Santa came anyhow, riding on the silver lining behind the dark cloud of gloom. Joy, Miriam li'iefer's little poem, touches the right spot. l'hristmas will bc Uhristnias. The rustic bells ring, The gay children sing. W'e all like our presents so fine, so fue: When pop secs the bill, lIe'll uialfe out his will, For papa is Santa Ulausf- Oh, shoot! We eonldntt think of a word to rime with Hfinef' but we do feel sorry for the head of the household at this time of the year. Ach, du lieber Augustine! Hoch der Kaiser! or something else Hollandish! Maxine Uonkwright must have been born with a pair ot' wooden shoes on her feet, at least. Such a Dutchman, but you ean't really blame him with those children. Does experience teach a dear school? Klieg pardon, is our quota-tion correet?j lioy-o-boy-o-boy-oi-boy.l lVe're tallring about The Perfidy of Womanf' Come all ye disillusioned nien if ye want to hear the story of a brace gentleman who is not afraid to ery out in his anguish. Delnier, we were curious to lfnow whether lhose wrinkles in your manly brow were caused by study or sorrow. Since perus- ing the tragic recital of your bitter, ah, bitter, bitter experiences, we know that you hare been in the depths of despair. I am not afraid to die. but I regret that I have only one life to give for my country. Like Esther of old, who pled with the king for the lives of her captive tribesmen, a new Esther arises to the glorious defense of womanhood. Esther had hardly finished the reading of Del- mer's stirring tirade when she called, Where's a pencil Get me some paper. A ream! Two reams! Yea, maybe three reams! Mr. Stratton reached in his vest pocket. Ile pulled out his trusty Eversharp. Ile put it back in his pocket and pulled out a pencil of the 5-for-a- nickel variety. You see, he knows the ways of the QVILL staff. Then Esther began to write. She may be writing yet. We don 't know. But we grabbed off the first two scorching sheets before they burned up, and here they are, a reply to Delmer. VVhat do you think ol Both of them can't be right, can they? Or can they? Francis Shaw has a funny idea of fun. lVe think there are enough electric chairs in the world without inrenting new ones. Oh, well, boys will be boys. Poetry! A rhythmical outlet for the emotions of human beings. VVe're rather proud of our poems in this issue. Any- body can write jingles, but not poems. Il'e thought the day of the limerick had passed. Not so! That five line stanza with the whip-cracker conclusion still knocks 'ent off. If you donit like our limerielrs, bring your copy of the QUILL baelf to Editor Shower, and he'll stick: his hand down deep in the pocket ii which he keeps his 'money-and tell you he is sorry. Tl12ll7S all. Still keeping those New Year's resolutions? No, we aren 't either Tin: Eorroks.
