Young, industrious and ambitious, the fleas worked hard and saved their money. They sacrificed fun to assure the future. One day they counted their money and were over .joyed to find they'd saved five dollars. "If we can save five we can save ten!1" they agreed, so they continued their thrift. They toiled, economized and planned, spurning the frivolous pleasure of other fleas. Fi nally came'the day when their savings totaled ten dollars. That day they went out and bought a dog of their own. DEFINITION The height of diplomacy: to say, on surprising a woman in the bathtub, "I beg your pardon, sir." A TOAST To the land we love and the love we land. MERRY CHRISTMAS IT'S HERE!

The res click of*needles and the concen- pu trated counting of "knit two, P' pearl two" is a common occur rence. dre Socks of plain yarn, socks that Ho combine all colors in a mad design tin and sweaters of non-ending length 1 are to be viewed in the hands of 12 60% (or maybe more) of Caro- bre lina's female population. A b-ave the few have ventured the art in the classes to test the professors' re- sto actions. If conditions are favor- ind able, the lecture may often be interrupted with such remarks as in "Drat it. I dropped a stitch." Ra; Bridge and 21 have suddenly att taken a decided drop in popular- we' ity. Now the determination of diti the right number of stitches is toa more important than a trump.. chi The boys' reactions to the craze lici vary. A few think the whole mat- bo ter disconcerting. They wonder if longer skirts and the Gibson Girl Pat styles have brought back the Br( Home Girl Era.
