UIEHHH '--'1 S Santa Qlllausz Ghz Zfiltra Hyauern OECILIA MCLAUGHLIN The pre-Christmas dansant of the Villa Nova Country Club had the distinction of occupying an important position in the social annals of Roxborough. To be specific, it launched in an informal manner the gaieties of the Christmas season. The affair was now in progress and it required no second glance to see that Myra Nadmond was receiving the rush of the hour. Myra was distinctive in her slim afternoon frock of orange velvet which contrasted well with her black hair and blue eyes. Dick Joyner came up with a tall, good-looking boy, cut in on the dance, and presented the newcomer, Edwin Saunders, the brilliant football star of Dartmouth. Besides possessing superlative good looks, Ed Saunders had a magnetic person- ality, and as Fate decreed, and as the Americanism says, Myra fell hard. .

140 THE URI TI O Glass, the library has received a long needed set of books, The Library of Southern Literature. Although a part of the price of these books was taken from our School Library Fund, they are in a large sense of the word a gift from our Principal, Mr. S. G. Anspach, who gave the first fund for the purchase of these books about a year ago. The books have arrived just in time to be counted as a Christmas gift. In thanking him for his thoughtfulness and help in getting this set of books, THE Carrie wishes also to extend to him its special good wishes for a Happy Christmas and a Joyous New Year. GAA Christmas has almost come again, and doubtless to say, everybody is looking forward to that fete, but especially to the holidays. Some will be out of town and Christmas. some will remain with us, but wherever you are, THE Cnrnc hopes that Santa Claus will not pass you by and We sincerely wish that you may have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

142 THE ORITIC A little incident like this does not alter civilization, nor make the world stand still, but it does help along the plot a little. Myra, in giving the family an account of the func- tion, said that she had had a marvelous time and had met a good-looking boy from Dartmouth, with him she had a date for the Christmas dance. s 1 u Q n n s u The Christmas spirit had enveloped New York, the surg- ing mass of humanity, the drifting snow, and the cutting wind retold the same story. The shops of Fifth Avenue were displaying exclusive models of feminine apparel, While 'all along Broadway hordes of newsboys were screaming to un- heeding pedestrians the headlines of Clemenceau's latest speech. On the corner of Broadway and 42d Street, a man dressed like Santa Claus was selling holly sprigs and mistle- toe. Mrs. Nadmond and Myra had just purchased a leather traveling bag as a Christmas present for Mr. Nadmond, and were relieved that the annual shopping expedition was about completed. Mother, time is simply flying, Myra said, looking at her watch 5 Uwe have one hour to get tea and catch the train for home, and let's go to the Ritz. I love it theref' They entered the Tea Room, secured a table, and Myra, after giving the order, began to describe an evening gown which she had seen in a modiste's shop. The orchestra was playing from a balcony partially hidden by palms, and Myra forgot the outside world of clanging traffic. Once her attention was drawn to an over-dressed, middle- aged woman at the next table. This pompous lady was pro- nouncing the French dishes with a strong Yankee accent.
