Personalities
By NELL DoDsoN

flee in Missoula, Montana, is a tale
that is worth an admission price
just to hear. Horace SEE that he
was sleeping away as soundly and
sweetly as it is possible to sleep,
when he was awakened by the
sharp jangle of a telephone bell.
Dwight Reed (the Kid himself) was
Bells roommate and so when the
phone kept ringing insistently it
was Kid Reed who took the heated
pad off his injured leg and got out
of bed to answer the summons.
BELL evidently thought it was some
of the boys on the team trying to
be funny and couldn't be bothered
with getting up.) Reed took the
receiver off the hook and growled
sleepily: "Hello!" then: "Huh? Oh,
all right" After that enlighten-
ing monologue he went over and
shook Bell. "Hey, Bell, you'd bet
ter get up. The store next door is
on fire."
Bell, not seeing what the store
being on fire had to do with him,
decided to catch up on his inter-
rupted sleep. "Isn't that just fine!"
he SEE, ct hope they don't think
Pm going to get up and go look at
i'll"
"Yeah," drawled Kid Reed nom
chalantly. "But this place is on
fire, too"
Here and There: Thanks to
Harryette Walls for the note she
sent enclosing the Pittsburgh Cour-
Ter notice about Bill Thomas. Ac-
cording to the Courier, Bill has just
been appointed end coach of the
football team down at A. and T.
college in Greensboro, N. C. =. q.
The AKA afternoon dance has been
changed from October 8 to October
8, so campus students take notice.
It's quite job trying to collect
post office box numbers so that we
can distribute the invitations. &.
Evelyn Taylor from St. Louis is
taking a graduate nursing course
at the University and is now an
operating room nurse over at the
hospital. That must be awfully in
teresting work and it's darn nice to
know that a colored girl is in there
handling the instruments, anaes-
thetics, etc. The overflow of
college folks at Wheatley has
caused some of the regular people
to vacate their quarters until
everything is Strengthened out.
Miss Brown must have double duty
trying to get everybody satisfied
on such short notice but I'm sure
she is tickled to death to see such
an increase in the University Ne
gro enrolment. g. . A six foot two
handsome lad from West Virginia
State College came all the way up
here to enter school, but had to re-
turn South because he couldn't get
certain enrolment difficulties
Strengthened out. But he will be
back next year. He's the same
good-looker whose picture is in
that West Virginia year book that
Eleanor Maxwell has. Arnie
Walkers wife has already won her
self a place in the hearts of those
who know her because of her quiet
dignity and poise that is at the
same time friendly and gracious.
And that's load of praise coming
from a hard-hearted Hannah like
Auntie Personalities. Thanks
to those of you who have called in
Offering accommodations for the
Homecoming weekend, but we
need st. Paul accommodations
quite badly and so don't stop call
ing. Or else drop me a penny post

Bright .Colors Line .Cupboards

This fall, when the kitchen and breakfast nook are repainted, lot the landlord and his helper know that you want something extraor- dinary, but not Q whit more costly than the uninterosting things they have done for you each year.
 You want contrasting color for tho cupboard linings, and the shelves above stove or sink. If the kitchen is white, with sharp ace cents of black in It's floor covering, have the walls the palest possible yellow, with the lining of the dish closet in c soft, mellow orange tone. With fresh apple green on walls and woodwork, try Q lining of jonquil yellow, with Q line of deeper green for the shelf edging. With oil gray, Q lacquer red or . dull salmon shade will make c friendly lining, especial- ly If there is Q note Of black in stove and floor.
 Then zee that here and there in the cabinet some dish or crock or piece of modern pottery either con- traSts with or echoes the color scheme you've chosen. Garry the note. too, over to the window sill. where tiny side curtains and per. haps . flower pot are in perfect harmony.
