We spotted, the other day,
member of the Fourth Estate shop
ping for the paraphernalia for ski
ing. Coincidentally, Miss Maria
Luisa Gomez of the Philippine Con-
sulate is very much interested in
skiing and goes out to the noun
tains on available week-ends for
this winter sport.
Don't be surprised if, by the
light of the silVery moon or to the
amorous murmurings of many love-
stricken males, the majority of our
younger set are going to tread the
well-beaten path of matrmony. In
fact. the number of these dreamy
eyed couples is fast increasingly; it
is some task to keep up with them.
With the mercury droppin' dan
gefously low, it's sed. some of our
romantic adventures now on the
rugged edge of want are gettin' the
shivers! For freezing weather may
start their GOBLIN feminine con-
quests to ask, and very sweetly at |
that, for that cold-killin' chunk of
hide-fur coat to you - to wrap
their shakin,' eye-catching
statuesque frames, their stock IN
trade. And as more often than not.
they're partial to the more expen-
sive variety.
1t was sort of nice and thotfuI of
my Ed. to tell you why this column
was missin' in a previous issue. | /
was on a trip to the Old World, the
exciting fulfilment of cherished
dream. Seeing other lands and
meeting other peoples, all what
could be more fascin-
ating?
At the Canal Zone and the Re-
public of Panama, the natives know
US by the monicker "Filipinitos.
They are very nice and friendly. |
Once you get into speaking ac-
quaintance with them, they try to
do their level best to make you feel |
right at home. Tho they speak Eng
Iish quite well, they would rather
have you converse with them in yer
broken, if understandable Spanish.
SO If you plan to see and want TO
enjoy those places, try to brush up
On that lingo we've inherited from
our learned forbears.

Germany is another country that
has an extra big sign of welcome
on its doormat for us. Tho, more
often than not, they mistake US for
some other specie of the human
race. You gotta tell them who yer
are before they'll dish you out that
sort of milk and honey" acquaint-
anceship. No need to study Ger
man, and no sign language needed.
It's a better than an even chance
that any Fraulein you meet speaks
Eglish even if slightly murdered. A
nice place to see, that it. Take my
word.
A new out-of-town addition to the |
teen-age intellectual set is dimin- |
utive Juanita Diaz whose perman-
ent domicile is the capital of the
Land Of the Midnight Sun. The
talented young Miss is a freshman
at the U. of w And, according to
my info, she is doing quite well.
Before enrolling in that hall of
learning, she had just come back
from an exciting visit at the home
oil her parents. the Pearl of the
Orient Seas. She used to MARBLE
lifting melodies on the air lanes up
North. Quite very good at that too.
Oh no! II couldn't be him. You
can knock me off with a feather
