Personalities
By Nell DOdsOn

Jottings: My father, who has
put in Ia years as Starter at
the Minneapolis bus depot, tells me
that he can spot college students
the minute they come into the
place. They are always good
natured, financially busted, and
hang onto their baggage for dear
life so that some well-meaning red
cap won't be able to pry it loose
for the resultant tip. They also
make more noise and cause more
hub-bub than anyone else. =. The
most handsome policeman on the
Minneapolis force is the brother of
former police chief, Brunskill, sta
toned in the loop district around
Seventh and Hennepin. The young
est bluecoat I have seen so far is
the one who patrols the vicinity of
lower Cedar and Riverside AYES.
He is evidently new enough to his
uniform to be quite conscious of
it. At any rate, he is still rookie
enough not to have the bullying
waistline usually sported by the
veterans in the ranks of law and
order. Dorothea Harris shows
a lot of common good sense in CIV
ing a handkerchief shower for
Althea Douglass. The average
shower have been invited to at
tend has always been the kind to
which you could bring anything
from that soup bowl Aunt Flossie
gave your Nav for Christmas to
some expensive present especially
purchased for the occasion. After
attending two or three such affairs
you are at your wits end and have
run completely dry of ideas for
suitable presents. Why not have
more things such as handkerchief,
stocking, linen, kitchen, or lingerie
showers, for the lovely future
brides -to-be? They'll appreciate
it, Pm sure, and US old maids who
have to cart the presents in will
certainly heave signs of relief. :. :.
Sonny Berry came up to me at
Happ's lawst Sunday night and
asked if 1 knew who the Three
Babes-in-t h e. w ood s were? /
don't know, but the gels ought to
feel all elated because one of their
idols was interested enough to in
quire about 'em. If anyone has
the notes or textbook for Psycholo-
gy Lab. 5, will he please get in
touch with me Immediately. l
have a makeup exam in the stuff
on September Fl and so far haven't
the book or the notes.

How do you know when you're
completely recovered from a love
affair that has Topped and left you
holding the bag? Sometimes the
realization smacks you like a bolt
out of the blue and you find your
self cured without knowing how it
happened. But as a rule there are
signposts that indicate your recov-
cry. One of the first comes when
you can hear the persons name
mentioned without something
queer happening to your insides.
You don't get any more reaction
from hearing the name than from
hearing a complete strangers or a
casual acquaintance's. You can
even ask, without giving a hang
one way or the other: Flows he
Cor she) getting along these
days?" Secondly, you have COM
pletely recovered when you can
look at the person and realize that
he was just a little tin god all
along, and a pretty poor grade of
tin at that. You see that his ears
stick out and his trousers are
usually baggy at the knees, or that
he looks constantly in need of a
haircut. If you're a man looking
over a gal who took you for a
ride, you see that she giggles on
