The Backseat Driver ininiiiiimininimmui'iHiiniimimiuiRiiiimmmmmiimmmiHmniimnniiliniin By MARTHA STEW ART When I was very young (way back before I started mingling with the corruption of the cruel world) every night along with “bless - mamma - and - pappa - and - all - my - sisters - and - brothers - and - aunts - and - un cles - and - make - me - a - good - little - girl,” I used to add to my “Now I lay me,” a more sincere and heart-felt plea which went something like this: "And dear Lord, please make every day Thanksgiving day.’^ A week from today if everything ^oes right and my luck holds out I will be home sitting around a loaded table, sinking my teeth into a great juicy piece of turkey meat. The idea is very pleasing. * * # H brings back memories of for mer Thanksgivings. Sitting at the head of the table was always my father, very solemn and dignified with an oversized carving fork in one hand and an ominous looking knife in the other. Before him, re splendent in its bed of stuffing and gravy, reposed the prize gobbler of our flock. (My sister and I had faithfully thrown buckets of corn to the greedy fowl every evening after school for weeks.) On one side sal my sister, I next to her, while flanking the remain der of the table on both sides were my relatives . . , the ones I duti fully blessed every night before I y ent to bed. At the foot of the table sat my mother, generously heaping great snowy blobs of mashed potatoes and crisp slive(s of celery on our plates. “I'll take the wish-bone, dad,” I would volunteer cautiously, in the fond hope that my sister wouldn’t hear. “Nothing doing,” she would shriek, pushing me into the back ground, “she always gets the wish bone.” And the fight was on . . . my sister usually winning out due to her slight seniority and her ex cellent argumentative powers, and I would sit and glower at her while she munched the tasty morsel, thinking dire thoughts about the practicability of smearing cran berry sauce on her face and wish ing fervently that she'd get a bone stuck in her throat.

Charm school was in charge of the program and gave a skit showing what to do and what not to do. After the entertainment Phi Theta Upsi lon, the junior women's service honorary which sponsors Philo melete, served tea.

Coeds' Glasses Repel Passes, Protect Lasses So—“Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses.” Well if that is so then a lot of coeds can feel pretty safe be cause a majority of them wear glasses at least part of the time. They probably would wear them more if they had not heard that deathless, two-line poem by Miss Dorothy Parker. Much of the astigmatism, eye strain, and nervous headaches are blamed on Dorothy Parker’s poem by Frank Martin, presi dent of the Community Optician of America. Many girls will en dure anything rather than put on a pair of glasses, he points out. Of course the same thing ex ists among men but a magnifi cent gesture toward a down-trod den section of American woman hood- a beauty contest for girls who wear glasses will be held in New York and out of it will emerge a “ifiss Bifocal of 1937.” It will be entirely possible for a bow-legged or knock-kneed girl to win the contest, because the judges will be instructed to base their decision on appear ances from the neck up. ‘‘Take just any beautiful blonde,” Martin said, “add a pair of eyeglasses, carefully cut to enhance the luster and size of her blue eyes. Then add the most delicate and exquisite gold bridge and temples that will exactly match the hair. Well nothing could be more beautiful. It brings her out. "Take a horse-faced lady. You can make her face seem shorter with glasses. Take a pig-eyed woman. You can make the eyes big and sparkling with the right kind of glasses. Men often bring in their wives and sweethearts, almost by force, and have them fitted for glasses. They prefer a smiling woman and no woman smiles when her eyes hurt.” The girls might think of this consoling information when they are making a desperate attempt to get their glasses off and hid before the approaching male ac tually sees them and visualizes her as an old maid. _/ HEALTHY HAIR is the basis for the success of any hairstyle.

I Home Ec Instructor In Orient, Occident Travelling from China, land of Oriental mystery, across the Eurasion continent through Russia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Scotland, to Ireland, the “Emerald Isle,” provided Miss Mabel Wood, professor of I home economics, with many interesting experiences last summer. Miss Wood last year taught in the Yengching university, near the . ancient Chinese capital of Peking, acting in an advisory capacity in the small department of home econom ics there. The university is main tained by Americans though, she remarked, most of the faculty., were Chinese. The curriculum re- i sembled that of an institution of liberal arts here, she said. No Interest in Foods The whole field of home econom ics is rather new to the Chinese schools, Miss Wood declared, and it is difficult to get native-trained teachers. In China there is not much in terest among the students in foods and' clothing, she stated, because for so many centuries the servants have dealt with these two rather “lowly” problems. However, the students, both girls and boys, take i great interest in child care and training, and courses in nutrition, with boys registered in both courses. ’ During the time she was in Chi na, Miss Wood declared, there was no discussion, or even knowledge of the war that was to come. China Seems Peaceful “It was an exceptionally peace ful year. As a matter of fact the talk among the general public was mainly about the Japanese withdrawing from some of the ! Chinese territory, and they inter preted this as a move for peace. There was some trouble on the Japanese-Russian border, but as for a Japanese and Chinese war, it was unthought-of at the time.” Leaving China at the end of the 10-month school course. Miss Wood traveled to Europe through Sibe ria and Russia, a 10-day trip in all. The countryside was green and rolling, with many sparsely timbered areas, and dotted with IF IT’S HOSIERY it may be KAYSER THEME The sheerest of Shadowless Chiffons Medium Weights or Service in alt the good colors fashion demands 98c to $ 1.1 5 pair THE BROADWAY INC 30 E.

Russia Unfriendly to Travelers The atmosphere in Moscow and Leningrad, to Miss Wood, seemed lecidedly unfriendly. The Rus sians, she declared were hostile to outsiders, to each other, there was i feeling of "fear” in the air. “The government is so unpre dictable, so illogical, it makes you ilmost afraid,” she said. “There is a strange feeling of something unknown around you all the time, which creates a sort of fear. Most if us were rather glad to get out.” Finland Feels Different As soon as she crossed the bor der into Finland, Miss Wood stat ed, the feeling changed. She stopped for several days in the capital of Finland—the “White Capital of the North.” Her immediate impression was af a “beautifully balanced civiliza tion.” The people were clean, healthy, well - nourished, and friendly. There was no pretentious show in the buildings and projects, they were in proportion to the peo ple, and matched to the develop ment of the people. This trait, Miss Wood noticed later when she visited Norway and Sweden. Finland Well Organized “You have the feeling that Fin land is well organized,” she de clared. “It strikes you the instant you cross the border. Even the cas ual traveler can sense the differ ence.” Sweden she found more elabor ate than Finland, but there was the same clean, healthy tone through out. She attributed it to the fact that these countries were neutral, and the money they might other wise have spent for military de fense goes instead into the devel opment of industry, and of the peo ple. She went into Swedish homes, | NEW ARRIVALS j Block Prints Note Paper Tony Sarg Linens Chinese Porcelains llandwoven Scarfs anil Cravats Advance showing of Christmas Cards and Paper. j THE ORIENTAL ART SHOP 122 E.

Then as his voice droned on and on to the accompaniment of the heavy breathing of the sleeping stu dent on your right, perhaps your mind has detached itself to drift about in the cosmos, ami perhaps you have wondered (among other things) what your own voice sounded like. Your maidenly prayer was: "Oh, would some power the gif tie gie me to hear myself as others hear me." A 30-cent disc of wax from the Co-op, an appointment with any member of the speech de partment, a voice recording— and your prayer may be an swered. A fiber or cactus needle is all that is needed to play it on any phonograph, if you ever want to hear it again after lis tening to it once. And it may even solve some of the Christmas present prob lems. One student on the cam pus made a recording of a sohg and sent it to his mother in Massachusetts. According to Paul Kiepe, in* structor in speech, this record ing gives one a chance to hear his voice as it really sounds to others and to analyze Its faults , which may be anything from poor tonal quality to bad breath ing habits. The recognition of faults, alone, tends to produce auto matic adjustment and further conscious effort can do wonders, Mr. Kiepe believes. care of during the meeting and it was decided to have the lost and found auction as soon as the weather permits.
