Extra note— I didn’t say “so be it.” Betty Lost 'Em If anybody notices a small string of pearls kicking about, Betty Kel ler would be interested in hearing about them. They are the small add-a-pearl type on a gold chain. Miss Keller values them as a sentimental gift from her father. ‘ Betty has advertised for them, put the police on their trail, and worried frantically. She can be reached at the Alpha Phi house or through the journalism office. Isn’t there a pearl diver in the crowd ? YWCA Plans Tea The weekly YVV tea will be given this afternoon at 4 o’clock in the bungalow by the members of the music group.

Just as a sort of Callup poll, it might be amusing to find out just how many of the people who perch about in the various local coffee houses playing bridge—you know, game, in volves cards- honestly haven't anything better to do. The fascination of the endless combinations possible in 02 in dividual pieces of pasteboard is admittedly inevitable in speci mens of the human race, but somehow or other, when four said persons get through, what have they to show for an after noon's hard mental work? Yes, a beautiful glow of satisfaction that somebody did for maybe didn't) trump the ace and con sequently someone was awfully annoved, and someone else was All rieased and Happy. Endless, Ton Bridge is a bit on the endless side, too, and certainly lacks the crisp verve of a game of poker or a round of Twenty-One. Twenty-One always has the vir tue of making the players feel like Western GAMBLERS, and pleasantly wicked, for no good reason, and stud poker produc es the same emotion. Also, nei ther game limits the crowd to four. Four people may have fun, but six or eight can have even more. Then, bridge discourages the fine art of conversation, not that that is a new idea, but still, it DOES! Maybe no one present has anything really worth hear ing to say, but there's no harm in saying it. Oh, well, everybody for miles will continue to mull over bridge hands for hours anyway, and manage to push aside all their good intentions 'to go study grimly. Still, studying now and again never really hurts the GPA! —By Mary Ann Campbell CAA Fees Now Due Any students enrolled in the spring phase of civilian pilot train ing under the CAA who have not paid the $10 course fee and the $0 insurance fee should do so at the cashier's office in Johnson hall Saturday. All students enrolled in the course are asked to bring their student permits to the first meet ing of the class at 7 p.m. on Tues day, February 4, in 103 Deady. Leighton and Betty Declare Bridge War Ry TOF.Y CHRYSTALT, "T think maybe* T should learn how to play bridge,” T mused into my roke, innocently unaware that my statement would be accepted as anything other than an impersonal comment on amusements of the day. Too late I realized that it had not been accepted in this mannei when I saw the piercing gleam in the eyes of Leighton and Betty, across from me. Cursing my stu-. pidity, X remembered that Betty and Leighton were habitual bridge players who were usually, after the manner of bridge players, howl ing about for a fourth. I was to be an innocent victim to their in sane greed for pleasure! What System*? I^eighton pounced first, “Of course, you'll want to decide on your system first.” Betty followed quickly with “Yes, your system makes all the difference.” “Oh yes, system,” T said. I could see that this would not be accepted as an adequate an swer by Betty’s look of extreme patience. In the tone of one lead ing a little child she explained, "One can play bridge by either the Sam Gordon or the Culbertson system. Which do you want to learn ?” Thinking that I would put it all in a nutshell, “which is the best?" I queried brightly. From the babble of sound which ensued, the bitter looks distribut ed impartially*bout the place, and the precise way in which Betty snapped the pencil point with which she had been tracing the grain of the table I gathered that there was some difference of opin ion on this point. I seemed to heai Leighton telling me to learn a system which is far simpler and easier for the beginner, and that Betty was saying that this is only necessary for some of the less in telligent strata of idiots. Earnestly, Leighton! Leighton asked me earnestly if I wanted to spend the best years of my life in some dim library, poring over a musty tome by the light of a guttering candle, learn ing bridge rules. While Betty was depicting my agonies at a bridge table where all but me played Cul bertson, having to confess that T alone was an outcast, one set apart from decent folk by a stigma which could never’ be removed. I began to be awed by my un avoidable futures. Eyes glazed with fright, silently I crept away, and out into the reassuring sun shine. Now that I am safely at home, it rather amuses me to think of them, still sitting there. The part I like the best, though, is when one of them sees the empty bench across from him, begins to put two and two together, and gradually realizes that I'm not there any more.

Febru ary is a drab month and you’ll want something new, so why not change your fall dress by seeing the Broadway’s selection in neckwear. They are smart, new and different. V Jt Jauntily Yours Prints are all the new news at J. C. Penney's this time, and if you like riotous color, this season will be your heydey. Ev erything is going to be color and prints, particularly black and red. The styles vary slight ly, but dominating trends show pleats and full skirts to lead the market as do three-quarter length sleeves. At least that is all the news straight from New York and Penney's. See some today. Colei Cheeks Winter is still blowing and it is important that your complex ion is guarded against the cold. Dorothy Grey offers a double dollar value in the Blustery weather lotion, that comes in an extra large bottle—you’ll be amazed to see how big it is — and softens your skin immedi ately.

It is silk crepe, laced up the front, has a tie back, three-quarter length sleeves, and a huge sailor collar with four rows of gold braid to relieve its simplicity. This is ‘ the dress” of the week.
