JUDGE IMIG: Louis Maxwell, of Dartmouth (that a foot the college that used to have Il team), writes as follows eee. “After having read the com- ments of Harvard, Yale and Prince- ton in your column, here is a verdict from an undergraduate in Hanove Judge, Jr., is the wettest thing I have ever seen, It can appeal to none but the very undesirable and light- headed element of our half-witted population. Isn’t that enough?” .....T should say that it was ample, Louis! But stay! You're not alone in your opinion. Listen to what Arthur S. McNabb, writing on Hotel Chester, Starkville, Miss., stationery, has to say -. “Congratulations on your Vanity Fair Number. I liked it chiefly because it caused the dele- tion of the usual “High Hat’ page. Such bilge has driven me to the Haldeman-Julius Monthly. Please extend your good works to the art of drowning Judge, Jr.” .. . . How do you like them apples? . . . . it’s dis- couraging, to say the least. Maxwell is a college man, at any rate he goes to Dartmouth, and Mr. McNabb is evidently a traveling salesman. #That practically covers the field and I can’t please either of them! What's the use, Task, what’s the use! Here, I’ve been working my head off, burning the midnight oil, trying to do my modest little bit toward brighte the hearthside and all I get is sneers, sneers. .... / All right, lads, belittle me, go ahead, but some day, some \ day, when I'm President, or some- thing like that, you'll be sorry! fe Which leads right smack up to a party I attended the other night... . it was called a “White Elephant” party and everybody was invited to bring something they couldn't use or didn’t want... .. two or three of the ladies brought their husbands (Ha! Ha! Ha!) . well, no kiddin’, folks, more good fun was had than you could shake a stick at and the party never broke up until nine thirty at night! If anyone ever drags me to one of those things again I'll have to be unconscious. (Cries of “Aw, you're unconscious most of the time!”’) ee Well, to make a long column shorter, after this here now hilarious party, we, that is, me and the girl friend, thought we'd get real rough so we retired to a night club and — that’s how I happened to discover this place... . “What place?” you ery feverishly . - well, it’s called the “Club Dove id they've got a bird there named Jimmy Durant who is the funniest guy east of the Hudson River and is a real artist... . if he isn’t snapped up by some mana ger darn quick I'll miss my guess... this may sound like a boost for the Dover Club, but it is... ,. the crowd is terrible but if you want to have a real laugh drop in there some night, fh Speaking of nights clubs, “Mac” and I have talked the governor into letting us cover the jing: ones (cries of “Pretty soft!’), so you may look for some real snappy stuff come this Michaelmas. (Advt.) Haven't been around enough yet this fall to start a list of the “Six Best Step-ins,” but will soon. fp SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM HIGH HAT CLUB HEAD- QUARTERS .... the club is coming along fine, keys being made, ques- tionnaires printed and Local High Hats being appointed . .. . it won't be long now. comicbooks.com
