Luke McLuke Says:

Luxe mCEuke DAYS:
There is Il time in every mans life
when he wishes his hair would quit
growing and give his whiskers a
chance. but later on he wishes his
whiskcrs would quit growing and give
his hair " chance.
We will say this much for the girls:
The ones who use peroxide are o the
only light headed girls in the world.
The women do not use up all the
safety pins. The married men have to
have something to take the place Of
buttons.
The old fashioned woman who used
to adapt her clothes to her age now
has a daughter who adapts her age to
her clothes.
Never loaf around where other peo-
pie are busy. They may not say any
thing while you are there. but you are
going to get Il good cussing as soon as
you close the door behind you.
Never judge by appearances. A man
isn't always in mourning when he is
| wearing black trimmed finger nails.
Once i'll awhile you will see a girl
who makes you doubt the fact that
there are more than G,00O steam laun-
| dries in the United States.
There are all sorts Of people in the
world. including the man who i'm
AGNES that whiskers make him look
digniied.
1t would help some if more CT the
| chauffeurs had horse ems
The man who is so fussy that he is
afraid that there are germs Oh door
knobs and on the straps in the street
cars is usually the same fellow who
imagines that free lunch forks are
antispetic.
Tough luck. Just as the girls were
getting so they could scratch matches
on the backs of the tight skirts the
fashion changes and the skirts are
made so full that you can walk in
them.
Lots of lads who thought they were
marrying hciresses are now working
hard to support their families.

championship OF the east hinges, and
one may class it as the final big game
of the season, although Cornell tackles
Pennsylvania in their annual Thanks
giving day eridiron mixup.
AS the date draws closer the out
look for one Of those old time Yale
Harvard games-a real contest in
which each side is very much in the
fight down to the final Whistle-be-
comes brighter. 1t is several years
since the Ellis have been able to make
that annual game much Of q contest
back in 1911, to be exact. In the four
intervening games between these two
rivals the crimson won decisively each
time. Uarvard's victories were won
by scores of 20 to @. 10 to 5. SO to O
and IL to 0. Indications point to bet
ter things for the spectator and for
Yale this season. even though the game
may not result in a victory for the
Ellis.
Two conditions. apparently passed.
were responsible for these one sided
games. Yale dropped below mediocre
in football after years of unparalleled
| success at the game, years Of leader
ship, in fact. AS the New Haven uni
versity refrigerated in the 2ridiron
sport Harvard came up With I; flock Of
the greatest football players ever gath
cred in one field. Brickley and Mahan
were but two stars of Il galaxy of
I1siO1lf 11,,i,, cinc II M y.Snl- nroo
Trumbull. I'ennock. Soucy. Bradlee.
Watson. Coolidge. FRANKIE. Wallace,
Storer. Gilman and PEARSON were stars
of Il high order. Coached by the best
that football affords. it is no wonder
that the Crimson was able to ride
rough shod over the disorganized Yale
teams. rendered weaker by a shifting
coaching system.
This season shows Yale has uppar.
emily gained her old place as a football
power and Harvard receding somewhat
from its super strength Of recent years.
Harvard's present team is no weak
ling. and Eddie Casey may yet prove
himself as great as any Of his recent
predecessors under the Crimson spot
light. But until the 1916 team at Cam
bridge shows more steadinesz than it
has shown to date it must suffer by
comparison with the teams captained
by storer, Brickley and Mahan. Cap
ain Dadmun has q strong team, strong
enough perhaps to win the only re-
naming big game, but it is likely to
encounter more opposition at New Ha-
ven on Nov. % than any Harvard
team has had from Yale since 1911.

Smartly Said

A luxury is something that we think
we need, but do not.

not only the Van Schoonloven family
had a good Christmas dinner that day
but many Of their friends who had
been prevented from gathering sup
