Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My fiance ana I are planning
to be married soon, and as he is
building our home. 1t means that
we must save money. Under the
ordinary circumstances, / decided
that an enga cement ring would be
an expensive item and we now plan
to put the money into our home.
How then, shall I announce our
engagement to a few personal
friends? do not want to make 1t
public, as I should like to con-
tinue going to business for while,
and would not want to have 1t
known at my place Of bust
ness. M.
The only way Is to tell your
closest friends-and~ make them
cross their hearts" that they will
keep your secret. Impress upon
them that 1t is most important for
you, professionally. not to have
the engagement known.

Tale of a LAWSUIT

Sheriff Sloan served a sub
poena on me at breakfast time
Monday, and a few minutes later
Vernon Howell telephoned and
asked if | would be ready to go
over to Hillsboro and testify in
the suit of S. Berman VS.. E. V.
Howell, A. w. Hobbs, w. S.
Robertson and Lueco Lloyd, these
four being trustees of the Peo-
pies Bank in the sale of its
building. And l said yes. And
| was told the Lloyd will case
was on, and the Berman-Howell
case would not come up until
afternoon, and so | waited. And
Mr.. Howell waited for Lawyer
Whitfield to let him know when
to start for Hillsboro, and sat in
his home near the telephone, and
was not called, and kept on wait
ing; and luncheon time came,
and Mr.. Howell was afraid he
would miss the call, and so he
would not go uptown to get his
luncheon but stayed by the tele-
phone, And, as the next best
thing to eating, he copied re-
ceipts for meat pies, roasts, and
desserts from an ancient docu-
ment handed down from an ex-
pert antebellum housekeeper.
But this did not satisfy his ap-
petite or quiet his nerves. And
at last the telephone did ring,
and Sheriff Sloan said the case
was to come up right away. And
Mr.. Howell jumped into his car,
and came by and picked me up
at til the shop; and We went went on to q
Carrboro and stopped at the j.
D. Webb store. And I went in
and found Mr.. Webb in a sound
and happy sleep, but he aroused
himself willingly and Joined us.
And so on to Hillsboro. And

court last summer it was
charged that the "purported

New Library In Use
Books and Furniture in; the Mechani-
cal COnveyOr Works Smoothly

The University's new Library
lis now in use. At any hour of
the day hundreds of Summer
School students are seen sitting
around the tables, consulting the
card catalogue, browsing along
the shelves, and taking out or
returning books at the circula-
tion desk. Librarian Wilson and
the members of his staff are in
stalled in their offices.
The visitor is impressed by
the combination of activity and
noiselessness. People are NOV
ing about all the time, in the
reading rooms and the corridors,
but the constant movement
makes no disturbance.
One feature of the library that
attracts much attention is the
mechanical conveyor. Driven
by electricity, it operates in an
enclosed shaft just back of the
delivery desk. Call slips are
sent to the various floors of the
stack through pneumatic tube /;
the men at the stacks get the
books indicated on the slips and
put them on the mechanical con-
veyor; and the books descend
and pare deposited softly and
quietly upon a table by the de-
livery desk.
The Library's open hours are
g A. M. to 10 P. M. on weekdays
and 2 to 5 P. M. on Sundays.

Chapel Hill Chaf

Some people may regard to-
bacco-chewing as a habit of de-
clining respectability, but in the
courts of law it stands higher
than smoking. When l was at
a trial in Hillsboro Monday |
noticed that M. E. Hogan had to
throw away a cigar when the
court convened, but the jurors
and others in the room chewed
happily on. And there was an
abundant supply of spittoons for
their convenience.
Isaac w. Pritchard told me
the other day that he remember
ed clearly the commencement of
1867 when Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States,
came here, and that. he had
never missed a commencement
since. l shouldn't be surprised
if Mr.. Pritchard holds the record
for continuous commencement
attendance. We talked about
how the celebration had changed
in character in the last few
years. The country people used
to crowd into the village in car
riages, buggies, and wagons,
and the grove back of Memorial
Hall was a great camping
ground, with horses and mules
hitched to the trees. The
speaking in the hall was punctu-
ated by neighing and braying,
and frequently by the wailing of
babies who were brought in by
their mothers to bathe in the
stream of oratory. There were
stands for the sale of lemonade,
soda water, and fruits. And
peanuts and popcorn were hawk
ed along the paths. 1t was
something like a circus scene.
The seniors competition for
the Willie P. Mangum medal
used to be the great event of
commencement. Every member
of the class was in the contest,
and the speaking went on for
hours. This event began to lose
prestige at about the beginning
of the century when | was stu
dent here. The rules were
changed so that only such seniors
as desired entered the contest.
And this year there was so lit
tie interest in the Willie P. Man
gum medal contest that it was
not held at all. / heard some
complaint from old-timers about
this violation of precedent, but
| believe the vast majority of
the people who came here were
not avnn aware Of if.
