Drawn by CuesteR Goutp, Northwestern, “They say he’s traveled quite a bit.” “Yes, he’s a floorwalker.” cy In Memoriam By Tom Irwin, Stanford ‘23 NOTHING i able; nothing unchanged. Groups di classes disperse, powers wane, customs diverge, forces recede. Even that venerable institution, the great Amer- ican parlor, is dead. Not a vestige of its former self remains. It has joined the revolution of evolution, The in vitable has years ago there hung from massive the brass-framed crayon studies ed ancestors; to-day the art calen- a thousand business firms hang in their place. Over-red roses and inflated pansies glare from picturesque back- grounds. The wall paper is unashamed. The competition is not keen. Fifty years ago there were four straight- backed chairs, each in the exact center of its particul, de of the room. There was a mighty table, too, hiding a in the rough rag carpet, mother’s contribution. The chairs are gone, to-day. They don’t in the parlor any more. But there beneath where the mantle nee hung with its profuse collection of ancient documents stands the phonograph. One of the multifarious “Blues” is on the dise. Sunday, no doubt. There is a rug, of cour: with more flowers on it. More cabbagi ike roses on a hideous yellow field. Fifty years ago there was a Bible on that table. Yes, that’s a mail-order cata- logue. The only page in it that isn’t well- thumbed is the one giving cut-rates on first class Bibles. Nothing is stable; nothing unchanged. The great American parlor is still Ameri- can, but it’s no longer a parlor. Drawn by CHARLES GOLDHAMER, Ontario College of Art ‘26. “Hello, Bill!
