Take is the kind of player who blithely
trumps her partners ace, and thinks it
quite all right when she assures every

"Well," she said, Il suppose you've
heard something about it, but, anyway.
the Little Theatre is putting on play
contest for Alabama writer's. They
want one-act plays; they are actually

Vassar Allen, who is president of the

put on now, and you all simply must

AN UNSATISFACTORY GOAL

Let us look our desires squarely in
the face. To win riches, to have a GER
tain balance in the bank and a certain
rating on the exchange. is a real object,
definite object; but it is frightfully
small object for the devotion of a hui
man life, and bitterly disappointing
reward for the loss of an mortal soul.
If wealth is our desired haven, we may
be sure that it will not satisfy us when
we reach it.-Henry Van Dyke.
