THE EMERY WEAL SURREALISM IN THE DRESS¬ MAKING DEPARTMENT Yesterday, when I was busy pasting samples in my textile books up at the Coste House, I absent- mindedly rubbed the small jar of glue I was using. Immediately there was a terrific explosion. When the smoke had cleared away slightly my half-blinded eyes made out a misty figure clad in a turban and a shop smock and wearing skis. He was sailing about the room on a long strip of material which eventually proved to be the red, white and blue sheer from the Dressmakers’ table at the banquet. “Did you ‘rub’ for me?” he asked, in one of those “hollow rain-barrel” voices. “I am the the slave of the glue pot. Where did you wish to go? I was about to stammer that I had no particular destination when the loud ticking of my watch arrest¬ ed me. The timepiece was spying steadily and threat¬ eningly, “Lit., Lit., Lit.” “Why, yes,” I thought. “It is Wednesday and time for the Lit., but I haven’t time to catch a street-car.” Then I remembered the Slave of the Glue Pot and his stream-lined carpet. “To the Art Gallery, Victoria Park,” I ordered, clambering on to its billowy folds as it swooped out the window and into the Art Gal¬ lery, which seemed to be the very next room. “How much quicker it is by going through the window,” I mused. “I’ll go that way next time and save a ticket.” We were just in time for the Lit., which was being staged by the instructors. Rather strange to me, it seemed, but no one else showed the least bit of sur¬ prise at the show, as a Greek chorus, made up of Messrs. Young, Brown, Glyde, Fowler, Safran and Higgin, performed a graceful dance. Mr. Fleming was at the piano as usual. I glanced around to see if any of my friends were there. Imagine my surprise and horror when 1 realized that the student spectators were featureless. Instead of faces they had some symbol of the class to which they belonged. The Electrics had storage batteries for their heads. The faces of the Drafters and Building Constructionists were blue-prints. The ears of the Aeros were aeroplane propellers, whirling ’round and ’round. Motor students, with huge head¬ lights for eyes, dimmed their lights coyly as they glanced at the Dressmakers and Artists in the front rows. The Art students seemed fairly natural to me, until one of them looked squarely at me and I saw that his face was nothing but a caricature in charcoal. “Are the Dressmakers the only real people here?” I asked aloud. “Wake up, sleepy,” a voice commanded me from somewhere in a universe of snipping scissors and rattling paper, “and take your face out of my glue. Here comes Miss Veenendahl.”
