Far preferred the style slim wil

Though she fasted and laced,
The slight waste at her waist
Made her look a two-part pillow

Fresh: "How'd you come out ?"
Soph : "On my head."

you'd feel if there were no patch

"The Eskimo sleeps in his bear

And he sleeps very warm, I'm

Last night I slept in my little bare

And I caught one awful cold."
"Why do you sleep with a saddle

"So I can ride a nightmare."

But now I must confess,
The more I know I know I know,
I know I know the less.

DARNING SOCKS
Student life! College life! Ye
Gods. Not only a faculty and
treasurer's office to disrupt real
college activities, but in the midst
of it all comes a hole in your sock
to be mended. We would rather
tackle second math or French than
try to close that miserable opening.
There is nothing in the world that
makes a man think more seriously
of matrimony than having to darn
his socks. A fter one wearing, most
socks have a tendency to become
holy. All socks can be classified
under the genus, "Sifter," as they
soon become nothing but holes.
A man, for some reason, is ab
solutely unable to darn a sock. In
the first place, he can never find a
needle. In the second, he can
rarely ever find the thread-and
when he does, it is invariably white,
while his sock to be mended is
black. When the thread is white
the victim sometimes tries the
scheme of soaking it in black ink,
but a sickly brown is usually the
result.
After all the means necessary for
darning have been collected, the real
work begins. He takes the sock
in his hand and pulls the hole to
gether anad sews it up as he would
sew up the mouth of a sack. Thn
he gently pulls on the sock and
finds the heel is somwhere near
where the instep once was. Some
times he darns the sock while it is
on his foot and finds when he tries
to take it off that it is sewed to
his big toe. The socks that a man
mend rub his feet in uch a way
that his mind bristles and his tem
per grows warm. A man always
thinks of matrimony when he
mends his socks, because then he
realizes the necessity of it.
