Mow to keep die kiddies quirt
and occupied on tho diiys when jn-
ciemcni weamer lorces them in
doors is n problem that has preyed
prematurely many u dotinc moth
er's hair. Booklets, magazine
articles, newspaper features make
quick-selling reading material of
scrapbooks Hnd crayons ami scis
fc sors and paste and discarded toys
and old clothes and books and
such. The outfits go by some
magic-sounding name, such as
"treasure chest" or "rainy day
surprise," but, although the de

scriptions thereof may make the
mouths of us older playstcrs
,? water, the darling kiddies like as
not fail to be amused.
Dating back to Eve's yen for a
frillicr fig leaf is the feminine
love of "dressing up." The play
time of any girlhood is crowded
with memories of clopping about
in mother's high-heeled slippers or
trailing grandly big sister s third
best evening frock, all unearthablc
jewelry adorning one's small,
angular person. Of course fancy
dress called for fancy games "at
the ball," or "prince and princess,"
or "Cinderella," or "sleeping beau
ty."
Hero Meyer.
Our playmates were always
the fair and lovely ladies, we
the brow-beaten maid or trouble
maker, at first. Then, as the
other girls began shooting up to
adolescent heights, honorable
roles at last befell us. To us
came the permanent assignment
of the dashing hero, and much
skinnier than the rest, we were
the only one able to don the sole
available masculine garb of suf
ficient glamor for heroes an
entrancing but definitely small
ish sailor suit. Unfortunately,
there are snapshots to prove it.
Boys, with whom no self-respecting
girl of our pre-teen crowd
would have tho slightest associa
tion, had the most objectionable
ways of spending their time. One
stormy evening, when the "gang"
was having a particularly secret
and sublime time poured into black
satin and feathered finery in some
one's basement, those awful boys
planted their jeering faces at the
window, and would not be
screamed away. In many ways,
1 men arc obstreperous little boys
all their goshdurn lives.
With Food.
Nearly always the fun wound
up with eats. Like all healthy
kids we were perpetually hungry,
and consumed unbelievable quanti
ties of utterly irreconcilable com
binations without undue ill effects.
The inept of us entertained on
graham crackers or cookies, fudge
making was a step higher, and
the more difficult candies were
the treat of one or two of the
more housewifely girls. To that
was added anything that could be
filched from the nearest ice-box,
with the ultimate result that the
"gang" was strictly banished from
"gang" household kitchens.
Even after the crowd was
broken up by movings, it was a
long time before we lost our
fondness for "wading" In the
rain. Enveloped in old clothes
and slickers, we would venture
out when the deluge was at its
pouringest barefooted, to wade
In the rushing torrents of the
curbstone waterways. The idea
was to find the deepest, most
swirling spot, and get soaked. If
sniffles frequently resulted, so
also did an appreciation of flood
tides. Staid, rut-bound college children
miss the busy fun of a younger
rainy afternoon. Books, caking,
movies, riding are not the aban
doned, . intense play of youth.

Louise Barr Anderson, Nebraska's
first May queen, to preside over
the Ivy day festivities 25 years

when the air smelt of lilacs and
the sun silvered the green foliage
abundant on the campus.

Mrs. Anderson, who today is a
stately brunette with a disarming
smile and keen dark eyes, reclined
easily on her homey sofa and
reminisced in a low pitched voice,
"It was all so different from the
Ivy days of recent years. There

President of the council, Arnold

Judicial review, which has been

be stricken from the list.
Factions whose nominees are
