JUDGE W. M. G., Jr., writes scathingly as follows: “Lately I have been pained to note that the w. k. High Hat column has been falling off to a considerable extent. It may be a paucity of material around your stamping grounds that leads you to print line after line of trash about various ungodly recipes sent to you by collegians, but whatever it is, something ought to be done about it. Why in heck anyone wants to spoil good gin (for heaven’s sake,stop using the expression ‘Gordon Water!) by putting ice cream, hot coffee and what not into it. Quit using what is otherwise a pretty amusing column to insult the intelligence of your readers. fp Mr. Van Phelan of fair Harvard writes also as follows: “Junior, for the love of Mike think of something besides new drinks! Get something you like and stick to it—you're ruining my stomach!” Mr. Van Phelan and W. M. G., Jr., are both right and I will try and mend my ways, but with 99 and 4/100 per cent. of the letters coming in here containing new recipes, it’s pretty darned hard, especially when one is on the wagon and at least likes to think about thirsty things. Added to that there really isn’t much going on in the summer, especially among the girls!..... The Jupce club is coming along fine and is an organization to be reckoned with ... . to date we have a membership list that must make Flo Ziegfeld green-eyed with jealousy. -...

AL N., of Paris, Tex., sends in the following S. 0. S.: “Dear Jr. Help me out! Is there really some kind of marvelous concoction made from rose leav If so, what's it’s introduced to it this end. It's golden yellow in color and comes in a stone jog covered with cobwebs and French labe Maybe some of the High Hats can help you, Louise. I must plead ignorance... . now help me out! . what do you mean when you say the Judge, Jr., number is name?

GAUDY Campus Daze “You see,” explained the scholarly looking man, “Alice Egmont is having just a few of her college chums out for the week-end. After the train wreck it is discovered that Percy Harebrain is not in the crowd. However, when they arrived home they find that he came by plane, crashed through the roof into the dining-room and joined Mr. Egmont, a gruff old banker, at dinner, so im- pressing him that he makes the young rascal a junior partner in the firm. “That night Alice gives a swim- ming party, they get full of school spirits, swim three miles to an island, and for a joke, burn down a deserted house which they find there. How- ever, as it turns out later, the prop- erty belonged to young Harebrain. “Later that evening the dam breaks and Perey rescues Alice, who has gone down in the valley to pick violets, with the Chicago mail plane (which really belongs to him al- though Alice still believes that he is just a poor mechanic). “They are married in theenginecab of the Twentieth Century Limited and their friends have arranged a surprise for them in the way or a quiet champagne supper and dance on board the Atlantic Fleet. “The concluding fade-out shows the hero in his Admiral's uniform setting off a sixteen-inch gun, Alice’s friends giving the college spell yell, while she waves Old Glory.” The great director — frowned thoughtfully at his scenario writer. “That sounds all right,” he said finally, “except this is a college party and you gotta put some action into it.” Leonard MacTagart Suark—Shucks!
