His portentious frown disappeared as he perceived his visitors, the G. T. H. S. annual stall. How do you do, one and all, he greeted as the bread line trudged solemnly into the house. A few moments later the Nuts were satisfactorily seated around the dining-room table with 4'Ruke Hamann surreptitiously stealing sugar. '4Xow, Klarcus Aurelius Fortunatus Rivenburg, beat it, commanded HChuck'l as work began. 4'The object of this meetingf, said lN'liss Richmond, His the selection of ap- propriate lines for the senior picturesf' l'Yes,ll sadly agreed Redus, Darwin knew his stufff, Aw, dry upf' hastily interposed Rukel', as he noticed Redus looking straight at him.

The Sphinx I I c'All mules ccme not from lVIissouri, quoth Smith, he of the auburn thatch. Hee-hawn, agreed Erma Iirdman. 4'You are entirely too personalw, firmly vetoed lXfIiss Richmond. 'cW7ho is next, Lois Johnson?', At this juncture station N-U-T-S again came upon the air, UI know a peache 'All VVool and about a Yard Wridew. c'I'm afraid she Wouldn't take it in the right spiritw, commented the cautious Smith. . Yehl came the votrolic reply, I suppose you figgered 'Slip' 'ud take that dig about his ears in the right spirit. HIf you boys donlt keep still, I,ll send you both to the off-f-fl Here 'LRichie'7 remembers that school is out at 3:45, so- 'LHoW's this for Meta Stahl-'VVorth her weight in gold,'?U 4'It's just about as sensible as 'Stay back, the ice is thin ', commented Nuts in a sarcastic tone, then, Wearily, '4I'm sleepy, le's do somp'n else. 4'Very Wellv, agreed lVIiss Richmond in a dangerous voice. c'VVe will go on to the teachers' linesf' They sure got a line, cut in john Adams, but he subsided when he noticed the halo of blue smoke around 4'Richie's,' centerpiece. Reuben got really scared at this juncture and spoke in a quavering voice, UW'-W-Whatill We have f-f-for lNIr. D-d-d-darnall? Almost immediately arose a snappy answer from Nellie VVeston, 4'IVe, who are about to die, salute youl S-s-sall right, n-now for lN'Ir. B-b-bond,-7' '4Speak for yourself, johnf, again from Nellie. At this juncture Reuben recovered his composure with a sniffi Say I smell somp'n to eat, le'see Where it is. He arose and would have gone, but the tre- mendous hand of Chuck', Rivenburg seized his coat-tails, even as c'Chuck's', mother brung out th, grub . Houdini's far-famed disappearance act Wouldnlt have stood a chance against the Way that food Went. Approximately at the same time as Redus finished licking the last Hovver off his dish there came a scratching and Whining at the door. Reuben rose and flung open the portal. I,ll be jiggered, it's Smitty's dog: they've sent him after 'Red'.,' Thais an A-I dog,H commented 4'Nuts . Looks more like a K-9 to me, dryly supplemented Adams. Now donat hurry home , begged L'Chuck as he gave NRuke a surrepti- tious shove toward the open door. Gimme another piece of that cake, an, I'll go,', calmly announced Reuben as he reached for his coat. Here y,are , and Marcus Aurelius proffered the article to him. Reuben grabbed thedainty and bolted out the door, hotly pursued by the remainder of the staff. I Want part-Gimme some-Remember the gum I gave you , etc, mock- ingly floated back to Rivy and he murmured as if to himself, MI hope the next time they meet is in jail. HUSBANDS ON APPROVAL Husbands on Approval , the Senior play, is about a girl Who has four pro- posals in one night, but she does not know Which to accept, so she asks her ad- mirers to visit her for thirty days, at the end of which she will name the lucky man. The first day, one gains the advantage by saving her from a fire. Cir- cumstances make her suspect him of not being true. At the end of the thirty
