Il III Illl I II I I I Unlike early mornings in her school days, the Countess now awakes in her satinfquilted, fourteenth century bed with the soft, shell-pink silk sheets fthe Countess prefers pastelsj and breakfasts on her customary French delicacies. Later she will rise to consider the difficult but urgent problem of decorating her new home. This is the latest: three of her many suites will be done in Q11 filmy grey' blue, Q21 shy orchid, and Q31 her own original creation, champagne saffron. I have the hardest time choosing colors which will suit my personality, says our member of nobility. There is something so jarring about harsh colors in the morning. The former Lois Lippincott, now known in every American home as the Chesterfield Girl of the Year, the Rheingold Girl of the Seasonf' and the Camay Girl of the Month, amazed family friends and John Powers by tossing up these titles. Her latest is The Girl I'd Most Like to Be Lost with in 1950. Said Miss Lippincott in that sweet mysterious voice, I've decided to give up all this tinsel for the sane realities of life! But what are the realities of life? I asked impatiently, frightened by Lois's philosophical change. The final answer, hidden beneath many long and unpronounceahle words, revealed that the sane realities were a Vermont farm, a ramshackle cottage, two' English setters, and a country doctor thrown in. Yes, the girl with the skin you love to touch has finally fallen, and that deep psychological change is just a bad case of love! After much urging on the part of fans, commentators, and women in general, Miss Evelyn jacob, the sparkling socialite and writer of that amazing column, Pourboires sur les Couvertsf' has finally published the sensational best' seller, Women vs. Men. We of Hartridge, of course, are not surprised, as even in her school days Miss Jacob was solving this problem. In fact, we are happy that someone has at last dared to write this controversial novel and has made it a success. Miss jacob modestly states that it really is not difficult if you only under' stand the material with which you're working. And we modestly agree. - She carefully washed each of the seven faces and fourteen hands, ran a comb through each curly head, and proceeded to march the seven strapping boys outside to the Princeton Forever station wagon. Then she lined them up and called out in that one and only voice, Charter! Cottage! Colonial! Dial! This went on up to Quadrangle, called Quby for short. After stopping a scrap between Ivy and Charter-they never did get along-she strapped them safely in and buzzed merrily down to the train to meet her husband, formerly a Princeton halfback. Said Marcia, when asked how she had accomplished all this and still kept that twinkle of laughter in her eye, I just keep thinking of the time when I can provide the Princeton football team with a powerhouse, the Republicans with seven more votes, and the Air Corps with a new flying formation.

Unable to find anything material to leave Ellen, Lois passes on her quiet way of getting dates. Maybe Ellen will be kind enough to give us a few pointers on this wellfworn strategy. Article IX. Marcia generously relinquishes the stubs of her numerous tickets to Princeton football games. She feels sure that June will be able to maneuver admission somehow. Article X. Evelyn leaves to Helen the pleasure of playing the piano in assembly. Article XI. All the Seniors, certain that such a resourceful knitter can concoct argyles from eleven such beautiful colors, leave their assorted scraps of wool to Peggy. Article XII. Norma, after a great deal of persuasion. surrenders her red and white candyfstriped socks to Nancy Ann, the only one who really appreciates them. Article XIII. Mel, feeling that it is entirely on the level to leave a part of her athletic prowess to a White, bequeaths to Flossie her powerful softball swing. Article XIV. The Junior Class is about to be the proud posscssor of our Senior Room with all its facilities. Although it is not particularly conducive to study, we have found that a tremendous amount of other fascinating information may be gathered up there. WARNING: Do not leave any matches around: the evidence is very incriminating.
