After Dark

The quality of mercilessness is
seldom strained in the province of
after dark. Inhabitants thereof
never hesitate to sink a playful
hatchet into a given individuals
sensibilities whenever the opportu-
nifty presents itself.
A press agent was the particular
target on two separate occasions in
AS many weeks in the latest semi
public demonstration. What espe-
cial glee in this instance!
The Dubonnet Rooms Man Fri

the pronoun sometimes reserved for
press agents. He had invited as
many representatives of the press,

comfortably seated around one large
table. The ceremony was to be in
honor of something or other-it
never is quite clear what. And
remember; Free dinner, free cock
tails!' were his parting words with
each invitation. "Uh-huh," answered
his prospective guests, affecting
boredom
NonethelesS. the fellow was Sc
rene in his belief that he knew his
press representatives. He turned up
punctually at the head of the festive
table. Patiently he waited through
the customary hour allotted for
tardiness. The second hour, how
ever, brought only the management
with a cynical query on its lips. The
third hour brought less than that:
The press agent alone again, in the
same chair, the same array of empty
chairs on either side.
"Hah, what coincidence he
said as he fumbled for his hat.
On the second OCCASION he was
pretty solidly flanked. And the mood
was festive, especially in his corner.
OF course, there was a generous
leavening of taunts; but the agents
smiles in his mana agements direction
clearly implied a proud "See?"
But then at moment when the
general gayety had reached one of
its small peaks, the places singer.
Mr.. Tony La Nasa, wandered over
to a neighboring table, singing as
is his professional wont. Patrons
in the vicinity maintained respect
full silence. And as the Serenade
ended the gentleman of the party
to whom it was addressed rose to
his feet, applauding madly. Fine,
flne!' he bawled for every one to
hear. All you need, Tony, is press
agent"
The happiness faded from the
Dubonnet mans face. But being of
his calling he did not slink off to
join the Fighting French or the
Tank Corps. Probably in the fol-
lowing split he was laying

The Halle Q. Brown House ex-
poets to have one of the best
basketball schedules in years this
season when they will open their
season on Dec. 4 with either the
Void Chamberlain Field quintet or

All games this year will be fol-
lowed by a dance and every effort
is being made to make it pleasant
for service men and women in the
city visiting. While the Halle
"Big 5" will not be fiashy it will
be a consistent and hard fighting
squad. They have been working out
nightly, appear to have what it
takes and will try to hold the rec
ord that the "Big 5" of last year
made. On Dec. IL, Milwaukee

you took the affair seriously and
with him it was all in fun. Don't
write any more until Christmas
unless you hear from him :. send
him a card during the holiday sea-
son for believe you will hear from
him by that time.
E. P. E.: / am miserable and
therefore sending you my problem.
Ny mother wants me to make a
change but I want to finish my
course. Would you please advise
me about same?
Ans: Your mother knows that
you are not happy because you took
on a bigger job than you realized.
She doesn't want you to have a
nervous breakdown or to Overtax
your health in any way. A few
weeks rest will not interfere, one
way or another, with your studies.
You need a vacation so take your
mothers advice and take a few
weeks of.
l. NJ. E.: My husband acts like
he doesn't want my people at his
house. 1t worries me. Will you
please tell me what to do?
Ans: Pleasing your husband is
your first obligation. You have the
power to make your husband see
the good in your people or to turn
him against them. Be more diplO-
matte in arranging these get-tO-
gethers with. your people. Try to
have them around only when it is
convenient with him. Let your peO-
pie know that he is the boss of his
own home and that they must show
him due respect when they are your
guests.
X. X. X: met a woman some
time ago and she and began talk
ing to each other. But have al
most fallen in love with her and
she says that she loves me. She
treats me nice when am around.
Yet 1 am jealous of her and a
preacher that she once correspondent
with. Does she love me or does
she love the preacher?
Ans: You're just making your
self miserable and ridiculous in
her eyes by harbOring these jealous
thoughts. The minister was a friend,
true, but they were never close
enough to one another to consider
marriage. If you hope to win this
woman for a wife you had better
be more brOadminded in your deal
ings with her. Forget the past and
live for tomorrow, otherwise you
may lose her.
