This is all very nice so far as it goes, but it will require considerable Mexican diplomacy to successfully meet the sit uation when the diminutive star is voted the popular favorite by another college. As to the 43 unkissed members of the Princeton graduating class. Miss Clark very charitably refrained from making any comment other than that it was interesting if true. She did not suggest that the unkissed state of these learned and profound young gentlemen might have been an invol untary one, despite the impression which they strove to give In their sta tistical remarks on osculation, in which they classed it as "unhygienic" "un fair to girls" or "morally wrong." Miss Clark interupted her work on "Molly Make-Believe" long enough to refuse flatly to' accept the suggestion of an "inspired" press agent that in recognition of the compliment bestowed upon her by the sons of Old Nassau, she agree to alleviate the suffering of any of the starving 43 who might make the journey from Princeton to the Famous Players' studio, where Paramount pictures are made.
