Carolina BY SPRUCE WHITE The other day we saw a collegi ate cut-up haughtily tripping across one of the ever muddy streets be tween the campus and the "main drag." On his way across the car cluttered thoroughfare, he passed a humped, bent creature clad in coarse rags. She, with slow drag ging footsteps, was making her way toward the opposite curb. The one with the haughty mien had completed his passage when it seeped into his exam befuddled brain that which was being en acted behind him. He inmmedi ately retraced his steps and with a tender hand guided the old wo man safely to the other side of the street. With a cheery "Goodbye," he left her to continue on his hur ried way. She was probably somebody's mother even if she was black. With meticulous care, he shaved witl a new blade, massaged his face, an< rubbed in the lotions, lie scrubbec his person with the care of a diligen cook cleaning her sink. He donne< his newly pressed trousers from th< height of a chair to avoid wrinkling them and dleftly fitted the pert litth bow tie. By aid of his trusty mirror he put on coat and over-coat with tha pretty scarf she gave him for Christ mas. He was off with a final glanc< in the mirror-off to see his honey(?)
