12 THE MIRROR Motto Vincit Qui Se Vincit Colors Red and White Foolish Fables No. 14U There was something in her coquettish glance and in the way she danced that aroused my curiosity. I leaned toward Mr. Williams. Have you seen her before? I asked. He gazed at her intently. Mr. Williams, President of the I. T. A. (In- ternational Toy Association), enjoys a most enviable reputation. Wherever literary publications are read, the slogan, Buy Pep ' s Toys for Demented Boys, greets the eye. In one of his interviews given to the Associated Press, Mr. Williams states that he re- ceived the inspiration for his life work while managing the Santa Claus Toy Shop of the N. S. C. D. S. But to proceed — Mr. Williams tensely whispered, It says on the program that its Wanda Jazzitt with Rudolph Valentino, but she looks to me like our old friend Beulah Stixrud. And so it was! I imparted this startling news to my other companion, Mile. Radforde, who was shocked to sobs. Really, quote she, I don ' t see why Pep had to choose the Slanders of 1933 for us when he might just as well have taken us to the Opera. Acting on Molly ' s highbrow hint we left the Marigold Gardens for the Auditorium. I must inform the gentle ( ?) reader that Mile. Radforde is Interpreter-at-Large, P. D. Q., B. V. D., Magna-cum-laude, of the League of Nations. French and Latin are her specialties, especially the latter, so she says. The Russian Singer, Mme. Ruthavich Hollowasky, was making her debut in Lucia de Lammermoor and was perfectly stunning in the Mad Scene. After the performance was concluded we wandered out back of the stage and, by Pep ' s ingenuity, gained admittance to Mme. Hollowasky ' s room. The moment she saw us with much effusion (of course in a charming broken accent) as her long lost classmates. Just then her maid entered with a huge bouquet of American Beauties sent from Lord Edwin More-Rice Aschan III. Mme. Hollowasky delightfully ex- plained it was from our old friend Squirrel, whose nickname had won him fame. By much deep thought Lord Ashcan had reached the conclusion that because he was called Squirrel he must be nutty. Therefore why not invent nutcrackers? This he did. Q. E. D. From their squeak, Lord Ashcan, noted for his musical ability, con- ceived the idea, Why not musical as well? So now, when you hear, Musical as well as practical you will know to what it refers. In one short evening I had discovered all the occupations of the members of the celebrated Class of 1923 of the North Shore Country Day School. Just by way of in- formation, I am now touring the United States giving lectures on Psychic-Radio Phe- nomena, and, I must say, have made quite a hit. My experience was gained from my orations formerly delivered in Morning Ex. They say I will be referred to by his- torians as The Second Cicero but time will tell my fate.
