THE BLUE CHAM BRAY
"HOW TO IMPROVE
YOUR ROOM MATE"
Giving this in the form of a re-
cipe I would say first, choose the
best material and insure against
failure. Next, work quickly and
thoroughly; season to suit your-
self; britig to the boiling point:
(test frequently) let simmer down
and set aside to cool. The cooling
process is often lengthy but well
worth the waiting. Results are
surprising;—one way or the other.
Room mates may be divided into
two classes—good and bad. She
either suits or does not suit. If
she is very affectionate with car-
esses and superlatives try being a
snob until she cools down a bit.
But if you are the snob don't be
surprised to have your feelings
squelched. Perhaps she studies
constantly. Then giggle and talk
until ■ she surrenders in despair.
If she giggles and talks and you
are studious, secretly suggest
through the crack in the dloor, that
she continue her monologue to the
more appreciative walls. A "stin-
gy" girl might be broken by mak-
ing a. vanishing cream painfully
characteristic of its name, as far
the girl that helps herself—just
use your cream before said girl
has a chance at it. If your hair
is red and hers is too, hint tact-
fully that black hair would be

Once in a great while the mir-

appears. Her appearance perhaps
is not as spectacular-as some un-
happy mismates might wish, but
she does exist.

billie bee blowout
Despite the fact that nine thous-
and, nine hundred and ninety-nine
things interfered, and three of the
girls who had already asked cer-
tain young men," for company had
to unask them and several more
things happened, the Billie Bee
Club with Mary Ellen Long in
command,, enjoyed) a delicious pic-
nic lunch at the City Park Mon-
day night.
You see the trouble arose when
these three girls (if I myself were
not of the guilty party, I would
gleefully reveal their names) ask-
ed their friends before the other
club members had been consulted.
So when the club met, the major-
ity ruled us, and since they didn't
want the "masculine flappers," we
just naturally had to unask those
others.
But we had barrels of fun! Our
menu consisted of everything es-
sential to make an outing perfect.
Sandwiches, salad, stuffed eggs,
pickles, iced! tea and cake were all
devoured with haste. Not that we
were necessarily greedy, you un-
derstand, but sometimes a girl's
appetite. almost equals that of a
boy. . . ' *\
Ohh, yes! nearly forgot. Two -
0. D.'s who have been turning in
our names as being '[out after
hours' were plotted aguinst. We
refuse to mention names, but Jack
Price and Loyce Loveless had bet-
ter watch out!
And that's all! Except of course
club mother, had a perfectly ,
scrumptuous time. Moral: Boys
aren't essential when a good time
is to be had, unless, you want to
spoon.

Misses Sarah and Mattie B. Jar-
rett entertained the Les Sans Souci
Club Monday night with one of
the most charming affairs of the'
season. The guests were received
by Miss Mattie B. into Mrs.
Moody's living room and for Sev-
eral hours enjoyed some very in-
teresting games of Forty Two. Mr.
Moody proved the superiority of
man, by taking off the high score
prize. The winking of the lights
was the signal for the serving of
a most delicious salad course with
ice tea and all the "fixtures" to
EIna Faye Burgamy, Evelyn Wis-
dom, Cecil Gibbs, Margaret MinT
gus, Sarah Lee Hudson, Sarah
Jarrett, Mattie B. Jarrett and Mr.
