I avenue, with a box of flowers, "This is the Library. "If one should ask me which is the greatest wonder of the world, I would choose neither the Pyramids of Egypt, nor the splitting of the atom. . "Instead, quite proudly, as though I myself had discovered this, I would reply. 'The public library,' for It is all things to all men. To me, this is truly the greatest wonder, for beneath its sheltering roof is the distillate of everything : man has learned since the beginning of his existence.- . "Here, each in Its cloister and catalogued in a most amaz ing way, are ' all the questions and answers mankind is capable of asking and finding. "This is where the blind can see, where the deaf may hear, and where the mute can speak. This is where the old grow young, and- the young gain the wisdom of the ages. -. "This is the only place man has ever found where the Greek words 'alpha' and 'omega' assume their literal meaning; for wisdom indeed, Is the beginning and end of all human experience. . ; v "This is the library."

Since n Matlack, out of kindness and in the spirit of ', did pose for such a picture, she has the special ' a society editor. However, the attractive young uo't have worried. She looks appealing, even In pin curls. ' ' Sometimes we have a difficult time finding those who wlH pose for pictures when we have "idea" or propaganda pages, and now Is a good-time to say;"thank you to all the obliging souls who have done so in the past. - v - Spring always brings a spate of parties, style shows, con certs and such, and as a result the society editor has been hurrying hither and yon, has found trouble dieting amidst the delicacies and has had her -head set swimming with the 'it of smart spring clothes and marvellously beautiful nd fragrant spring flowers. In addtion to food, flowers and pretty clothes, the Amer Icsn Legion auxiliary party last Saturday night had cele brities, too. Mingling with the VIPS of the auxiliary, in cluding Mrs. Earl Bigalow, for whom the dinner was given, were the radio commentator, Frank Hemingway, and his charming blonde wife. Mr. H., by the way, has one of those voices which sounds different first hand than over the air. Mrs. Bigalow had on a pretty flowered spring dress and Mrs. Hemingway wore a champagne colored chiffon frock. Mrs. Btgalow's gown is made with what the fashion world calls "spaghetti straps" and when Post Commander Granville Brittsan attempted to pin a corsage on the bodice, he had considerable difficulty. After jabbing a finger with the cor sage pin, Mr. B. held up the wounded hand and said "I demand a Purple Heart." Stories and anecdotes filled the air, but this "out of the mouths of babes" tale, told by one of the women at head table, Is our favorite. A small boy was called in from play by his mother, who took one look and said "What in the world have you been doing to your hands?" Learning that he had been playing with worms she answered "Well, go wash them and come to dinner." The boy retired to the bathroom, there was the long sound of running water and then he ap peared, triumphantly displaying something for his mother. "Look Mom, I'll bet these are the cleanest worms in the whole world." O.S.
