BY Allene Sumner

ROME, Italy-A great cataclysmic
tragedy has occurred unto the au-
thor, gentle reader, here in the city
where slumber the togaed gents of
old!
All because / am not mistress of
many tongues.
The tale runneth thus:
Pansy Herring Pretzel and I, hav-
ing gazed upon the Colosseum, and
seen the prisons where the martyred
Christians lay, having wept at the
graves of Keats and Shelley, and
grown clammy lin the. grewsome,
bone-strewn labyrinths Of the cata-
combs, decided that the time had
come when the life cultural should
be refreshed by that one and only
spree known to womankind as a
shampoo, cut and curl!
Our dark-orbed pension porter got
our meaning Tor seemed toy and Of
fered to write for us in his native
tongue message to a certain Golf
feurer pour dames," which, he guar
anteed, would result in our coming
forth "multo hello."
He wrote. We went. We gave
the note to a beaming, genufiecting
bairdresser.
All unwilling of the fate about to
befall me, l was prepared fol the
shearer, with much tissue paper and
scalloped toweling tucked under my
chin. The snip-snip of the shears
began and continued right merrily
whilst l was engrossed in my two
weeks old home newspaper.
What beheld my gentle gaze when
suddenly gazed into the mirror?
None less than what was once me,
but now was but half Of me. The
other half was a bare and naked os-
trich egg in other words, my own
scalp as bare of any hirsute adorn-
ment as a toadstool is bare of lace
ruffles.
I howled, 1 walled. I moaned
and shrieked. 1t seems that the
gracious porter had ordered that 1
be clipped, and clipped 1 was.

Self interest will sometimes tell
us that we can be happy even when
our actions will bring anguish to
others, but in our hearts, if We'll
listen at all, we know that it isn't
true. What is this thing. we call

when we've wronged another? Just

perhaps. "Am L my brothers keep
