12 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY time of the gold rush in Alaska; and also be- cause it tells of the struggle for life made by Buck, the pampered pet of small children, among the strong, sturdy, and fearless wolf- dogs of the North. The only law among the dogs during the gold rush period was the law of fangs. It was this law that prompted Jack London to write the thrill-packed novel entitled White Fang. Numerous battles for leadership of the sledge dogs are related in a marvelously descriptive way. For a story that contains a combination of plots I would suggest The Whelps of the Wolf by George Marsh. It tells the life of a dog in eastern Canada. There also is a little mystery in which the dog helps to catch a murderer. Now you can imagine for yourself what a good time you can have on winter evenings reading any one of the preceding books. MY IDEAL ROOM (Continued from Page 8) bination would be brown and a creamy white. The dark brown hardwood floor would be wax- ed and polished until it shone like a mirror; the cream colored walls, smooth and dull with not a picture to mar their quiet perfection, would have as their only contrast, brown and white checked mousseline de soi curtains. My bed would be mahogany, small and bunk-like, spread with brown checked linen which would always be unwrinkled. I would have but one pillow, with a white linen slip looking always as though it had just been laundered. A writing desk topped by a small radio, with a straight backed chair, also of mahogany, along with a vanity dresser are about all the furniture I would want. I could listen to my radio until 12 o ' clock to hear Guy Lombardo if I wanted to. On my vanity would be a manicure s:t, and an expensive, rare perfume; In the top draw- er would be some of Helena Rubenstein ' s beauty products, a good powder and lipstick I ' d have a key to the lower drawer so I could keep my diary, letters, and dance program cards locked up where no one coidd look at them — and laugh. Two large doors would be in my bedroom, seemingly cf little importance, but when those doors were opened! One closet just full of evening gowns — not just evening gowns, but real creations, the kind that just shriek Paree when worn. The other closet would contain several sport suits, dresses and acces- sories. But, I sleep in an iron bed; my wallpaper is figured with pond lilies. I can ' t listen to the radio after ten so I miss many good orchestras. I have never used an expensive, rare perfume nor Helena Rubenstein ' s beauty aids, and from the present state of my pocketbook, don ' t imagine I ever shall. People do read my diary now and then — and laugh. My mother creates the fashions for my prom dresses, and I make my sport clothes. So, why dream?
