Fashions in
'Breeze Shooliiifj.'
Fashions in small talk change
more slowly but just as porc-optibly
as those In dress. The topics of
conversation, avenues of approach,
methods of execution are constant
ly shifting to accommodate them
selves to the newest frills In
thought and speech.
"Breeze shooting," as one
gent to aptly put, varies much
within the general style trend of
gussylng. Eastern metropolises
dote on chorus girl gags, the
middle west on hospitable farm
ers' daughters, the Pacific coast
on love lives of film stars. Even
the dirty names differ by re
gions. And It would be difficult
to rate one section's art, for
well-told talcs are truly works
of art, above another's.
To make this business of cab
resting even more complex, evcry
one knows that the various cir
cles of society each have their
own special field for story telling.
Moreover, Individual talc spinners
have personality quirks all their
own, usually reflecting pet peeves
or prcferances.
The Tables Turned.
Take John "Prognostication"
Bentley, for example. Some of the
reflections on life tnat no ex
changes with the backroom boys
are political. We love the one on
the psycho-analysist that wont to
heaven. When the mental wlzzard
reached the pearly gatesprobably
the first of his kind to so do he
was met by an agitated throng of
the heavenly host, ""hey swarmed
down upon him, asking eagerly.
"Are you a psycho-analysist?"
And when he confessed, they re
joiced mightily and hurried him in
side. "You've got to come in here
quirk," they bustled. "God thinks
he's Roosevelt.
Barney Oldfield, however,

figures. He treads In the angel

throbber number one, Nebras
ka's own Arlington Brugh, -Hollywood's
"Robert Taylor." Glee
fully reports newshocker Old
field: "In the 'hush-hush' sector,
it's understood that Robert Tay
lor's Pomona college associates
used. to. call. him. "Beautiful
Brugh'."
My own father especially dislikes
what he feels is arteciauon. a inc
nrooWnn tn the core, he finds New
Englandcrs so so quaint. He was
drawing out an "ah" accented
comptroller of unassuming mien in
a large local department store re
cently. The newcomer was remi
niscing on his college day of
hilarity.
One morning, the tale was spun,
the comptroller's roommate awoke
to a double headache. One was
from a super-indulgence of spirit
uous beverages. The other, a brain
child of the evening s nappy umcs,
was a bookie ticket. In a wild mo
ment, it developed, roomie had bet
heavily that his college's goal line
wouldn't be crossed by Yale in
the weekend's game.
In the cold light of day this
seemed an utterly Insane thing
to have done fantastlo to even j
dream that his college wouldn't
be scored on by mighty Yale.
So Hang Over hastened down to
the bookie to hedge the bet by
placing an equal amount that
Yala wouldn't be scored upon.
And, a fortune would have it,
the contest was a 0 to 0 tie, and
the lucky lad collected double.
"But what," my impatient father
wanted to know of the rcminiscer,
"was your college?"
"Hahvahd," was the modest re
ply. Woolcott Still Tops.
Still ace raconteur to countless
thousands is the owl-eyed Alex
ander Woolcott. His di.stinctlvc
nnrrntlvn sivle. his straight-faced
wit have hung high marks for tale
teller modistes to shoot at. Like
all others, though, he does best by
his affinities, one. of whom is
Kathleen Norris.
Mrs. Norris, Alex would have
us believe, Is ingenious and
quick-witted above all else.
Once, however, Kathleen Norris
was baffled, when, upon coming
to New York and attempting to
look up her dear friend, the
privacy-loving Edna Ferber, she
discovered that "the big dreamer
had moved to new quarters and
retired behind the protection of
a private telephone number."

To Play's Success.
Students who attend the Uni

themselves "first nighters" in ig

views that the Tlayers always pre
sent. First to view any Univer

residents of the state reformatory
for Boys who saw "First Lady"
last night in the auditorium of
their own institution. To present
their second showing, the Uni
versity Tlayers will go tonight to
the Veterans' hospital.
To take their play first to the
reformatory and then to the hos

their regular showing, before the
two extremes in audiences, ac
cording to Miss Howell, director of
the Plavcrs and leading laciy in

The audience at the Reforma

So Fit' Your Clotlies to Wallet
In the past, college clothes were

that was in the days of the depres

democrats the depression Is over.
So today there is a greater amount
ot clothes-consciousness on the
part of your classmates than has
been the case In a long time. A
great deal of money oi course can
be spent, but this depends upon
your pocketbook, and to the ex
tent upon which you elaborate on
the essentials. This does not mean
if you haven't much money to
spend on clothes you should leav
