The Scarlet and Black Fleeting Hours are theaters, magic shops, pastry parlors, hotels, streets clogged with traffic, debris, and oddly dressed people. 9 o'clock. The stranger in Washington is invariably much impressed by the Metropolitan air of aloofness. fhe capitol building gleams white in the blazing sunlight. The new session of Congress is beginning. Senators, legisla- tors, governors, and lesser officials all appear very dis- tinguished and impressive as they pass through the halls of the massive White House. Davidene Clemens,first woman pres- ident of the United States,is delivering her annual message to Congress. In the Senate chamber, Vice-President Kenneth Phila- baum, is the presiding officer. At the far end of the table is Alta Frick,Senator from Louisiana,who waged a victorious battle with her opponent, Violet Symington, during the last election. Eleanor Meilinh, from Georgia, originator of the famous XYZ bill,is conversing with Evelyn Olson,who started the social reform movement several years back. From the Legislature can be heard shouts and cries of ayes and nays,as the legislators pass a new measure.Speaker of the House, Fred Socie, is unsuccessfully attempting to maintain order. Above the din of voices Joyce Piper, Texas State Legislator, is heard proposing a new bill, but from the roar of disapproval it is immediately rejected. James Donaher rises to suggest a means for lengthening sleeping hours. Alice Welch, prominent anti-relief administrator, is speaking in favor of a reduced budget for the unemployed. Dorothy Peterson,her competitor from Ohio, in answering the honorable Miss Welch of the State of Montana says, Wlt is the duty of the United States to take care of its poor.' A burst of applause greets this statement. And so it continues,new bills,old bills, forever pour- ing into the hopper, rejected or accepted as they see fit. Thus the fleeting hours pass by, brightened by this class, graduated in the year 1955. ----Gretchen Long Page Twenty-six

Gilbert Lazette, one of the fair horse- men, then, Jack Faunce, King of Broadway! When the lights go on they turn from the show to watch each other and wave in greeting. The men and women leave their seats and promenade. Francis Simon and Bob-McLeary, movie critics, rush past the loitering couples on their way to report the success of the play. The show, a Hester production,is symbolic of Broadway, glorifying the American Sirl. As the orchestra, directed by Art Hilt, swings into a gay melody, the curtains part and a hush comes over the audience. Ruth Haynes is cast as the leading lady and Donald King plays opposite her. The show runs along until very late and all stay to the finish to be present when Frances Homier, the director, is presented as the curtain falls. As time marches on it is now: 7 o'clock the following morning in New York. There is a delightful clatter and bang as New York arises from sleep. Down in the hallway, Clifford King, the keeper, is opening and slamming doors. As he opens his grocery store, Charles Restid shouts a word of greeting to Tommy Neiss,operator of a hamburg stand across the way.Around the corner Opal Rock- wood and Mary Jane Winzeler are singing on their way to white uniforms and the smell of chloroform. A vender steps out from shelter, smoothes his clothes, and turns away.
