Chatter
By Georgia Russell
Hi, everybody!

g
I'll begin first, TO tell you about
the fine party given at the Sterling
club, Thursday, Aug. 30, by Martha
(Caledonia) Hilyard. The joint was
really jumpin'. Virginia Washing
ton and James Hutchinson took the
floor with their hard boogies.
Among the many there, were:
Pauline Ray, who was looking ex-
ceptionally pretty; Virgella Harper,
Rhoda Lyles, who looked very chic,
dressed in all white; Jane House,
Phyllis Mayes, Edith Price, Gladys
Hobbs, Vivian Dukes, Duanita
Calendar, Maxine Worthington,
June Wilson, Loretta Honey
Davis, Charlotte Perfect, Donald
Calendar, Leonard Powers, Paul
Ray, Oscar Brown, Ira Robinson,
Bill Grimes, Skippy Wilson, Curtis
Russell, Don Gates, etc.
Oscar Brown tells me he and
Charles Coolie go into the Army
soon. Martha Hilyard is returning
to Cleveland about Sept. 7.
The Magistre Alb Exempto club
at the Halle Q. is giving John
Gardner, the president, a farewell
party, Saturday, Sept. 8, in the

have him leave.
There was quite a gathering al
the party, given for Norman
(Speed) Rawlings, who is home or
furlough, Saturday, the LIST. There

had a good time. Some of tbs
guys and gals there, were: Loii
Milsap, Lorraine White, Evelyn
Edwards, Joyce King, Herman
Tate, Boyd Crawford, Willis Reed
Nelson Mccoy and many, many
others.
Leola Graham's new hair style il
very becoming.
Caught sight of quite a few St
Paulites horseback riding out al
Circle S, Sunday. Which seems t.
be Skippy Wilson's and Vernon
Bradley's favorite sport, since they
never miss Sunday.
Well, we've reached the spot
where we present the couple Of
couples of the week, and the couple!
for this week are, none other than
Wayne (Skippy) Wilson and Veds
Lave, and Virginia Washington

Mif1in; $780,
The horrors of excessive family
attachment make up the theme of
this short novel. The scene is
Chicago In the 1850s and the family
in question is the Bascombs, tribe
Of enterprising moral men and do
mestic moral women.
With much on the side of virtue,
however. the Basconlbs lack a great
deal in imagination. They are very
complete Philistines. Yet it is not
their Philistinic attitudes, but their
appalling cohesiveness as a family
organization which has inspired
Arthur Meeker, to write their story
Collectivism is the Bascomb way of
life; no BaScomb does anything
without consulting all the others,
and once the tribal will has been
determined it is carried out with
all totalitarian Accomplishments, in
cluding the Neutrality-suspicious. at
least-of any chance dissenters. The
hero of the book is Johnathan
Trigg, husband of one of the Bas-
comb girls, who happens to be of a
dissenting turn of mind.
What happens to Johnathan, how
ever, is not so important as is the
picture Of the terrible, good-hearted
Family, triumphing over all frail
imaginative oppositions, trampline
taste and sensitivity benignly into
the earth. That makes a memorable
and subtle awful little tale.-M.-C C. r.

IC0rcOran Alumni and
Student Sales Shoe

The artists who have contributed
to the Corcoran alumni and student
sales exhibition show considerable
unanimity of agreement on three
factors which may be assumed to
give works of art appeal for the gen.
eral public. These are pleasant, non
controversial subject matter, con-
servative techniques and medium
size. Furthermore, no work in this
exhibition is priced higher than $50
and some are as little as S.. Conse-
quently, it is not surprising that
IL works were sold during the first
five days the show was on display
Sponsored by the faculty of the
Corcoran School Of Art, this annual
is open to any former student of the
school and also to the advanced stu
dents now attending its classes. It
is on view through Sunday, Novem-
ber Is, in the special exhibition
room Of the Corcoran Gallery and
in the atrium cases.
1t would be fatuous to pretend
that this show conforms in every
instance to the faculty's dictum that
in all exhibits quality must be of a
high order" Some of the works fall
short of quality in various respects.
But there is a good number OF COM
petent and pleasing exhibits that
would look well and probably would
retain their interest as decorations
for the average home, for which
they are specifically intended.
Popularity Ratings
The artists seem convinced that
the public prefers landscapes, flow-
ers and still life. OF SO pictures in
