THE TOWER LIGHT The Proper Sneeze The proper social sneeze is an art rarely accomplished. The general procedure is a long and involved one requiring infinite skill to execute. You must first prepare yourself for the ordeal. The necessary equipment is a handkerchief and a brace for the head. The brace may be used if there is any danger of the head striking against an object in its downward movement. However, if the coast is clear, it is better not to use it because a free movement of the head, neck, and shoulders is highly desir- able. Place the handkerchief where you can get it quickly. Grasp the arms of your chair and press on them with all your might. The time that you must remain in this position varies. The climax is reached, how- ever, when you begin to feel a slight, suggestive tickling in the region of the nostrils. As this slowly becomes more unbearable, slyly move the right hand from the chair arm toward the nose. While you are doing this make shadow pictures with the other in order to attract the attention of -the sneeze from your right hand. There now ensues a race between your hand and the sneeze-each of them gathering more speed as they near the end. Finally with a lightning-like flash, place one finger right between your upper lip and your nose. If the hand is quicker than the sneeze, your social position is assured. If, however, the sneeze is the faster, a horrible explosion will result. You will grab for your hankerchief, but it will be too late. Your social position will have been ruined. And once again Nature will have caused the downfall of man. ADELE MITZEL, Soph. 2.
