In< true accordance with Einstein's theory of cycles, fads and customs come and go with perceptible regularity just as do the seasons and prosperity(?) All the earmarks and peculiarities of the good old days are slowly but surely blasting themselves into the hearts of our modern lads and lasses. Betty Coed now looks to grandma for guidance in styles. Yessir, history repeats itself; Take, fristance, hoop skirts. Gone are the inebriated days of freedom on the dance floor. Today the light fantastic is tripped together with the incessant bobbing of the hoop against the knees of the courageous male who braves the tempest. To retaliate, ingenious swains in these parts are using basketball knee pads to protect the joints of their am bulating appendages.

Be that as it may, my dear Betty, the fad this season is to wear a ribbon, in front, in back, or on top, but for McGrath's sake wear a ribbon.
