New York Stute Adds
10 New Ski Centers

ALBANY, N. Y.-Sixty eight

will be ready to welcome skiers in
New York State this winter.
A recent survey by the Travel
Bureau of the State Department

20 centers in the northern section
of the State, the same number as
last year; 81 in the southern area,
including Long Island, an increase
of seven, and II in the central and
western regions, a rise of three.
A department spokesman ex-
plains that last winter and the
winter before there was very little
snow in New York and other East
ern States. The winter before
that there was too much snow
the whole State was snowbound,
skiers and all. But there is ample
evidence that the operators of ski
centers are perennial optimists

Calypso Singers Featured
At Jonnoico's S Night Spots

TOWER ISLE. Jamaica, British
West Isles.-Calypso singing has
become so popular among visitors
to Jamaica that no floor show is
considered complete without a
program of calypsos. and night
clubs vie with one another to en-
gage the entertainers whose words
and music are in greatest demand.
Much of the interest in this
form of entertainment is due to
the cleverness of the singers in
making up lyrics as they go along.
At times they lampoon members
of the audience by name (good-
naturedly, of course) and arouse
gales of laughter when a sally
strikes home.
"Victim" Pleased.
The victim" is secretly pleased
when he feels that he has become
a VIP by being featured in a
song delivered to such sophisti-
Gated audience. More than one
tourist has asked calypso singers,
Won't you write that last verse
down, please? I want to send it
on post cards to folks back home"
At Tower Isle, the calypsos are
sung by members of the hotels
own staff, including men and
women from the kitchen, dining
room and other forms of service,
such as bellhops and elevator boys.
They sing, play instruments and
dance with skill. What they may
lack in finish they more than
make up in the vim and verve with
which they put across their per-
formances. Now and then visitors
break into the act.
Sing InstantaneOusIy.
The word calypso is of myth
illogical origin. A siren by that
name was reputed by the Greeks
to have inhabited an island to
which she lured mariners by the
seductive sweetness of her songs.

Diagnosis of True Love Is Difficult;
Girls Are Often WisIed by Symptoms

their heart throbs and expecting
to be stricken down at any mo-
ment.
So the principal advice that I
would give any young woman who
is wondering whether she has
contracted a chronic case or is
merely suffering a temporary in
disposition is to give herself the
benefit of the doubt. For when
you don't know whether you are
in love OF not you are not. When
you are really head-over- heels in
love for keeps it breaks out all
over you in a million places like
the measles.
Do You TrembIe?
The modern girl may be too
husky and practical to tremble at
the sound of a footstep as her
grandmother did, but all the same
If she is really in love she gets
pretty much the same reaction to
some particular lad that mother
did. His coming turns on the
lights and sets the JOY bells ring
ing, and makes this the best of
all possible worlds and a grand
old place to live in.
If you have to say I love John
because he is so intelligent or Tom
because he is go-getter or Sam
because he is kind to his mother.
what you have is only synthetic
love. When you are really in love
with man, you love him because
you love him and without any ref
erence whatever to what he is or
is not.
If you think some snub-nosed,
carroty- haired youth is handsomer
than Gregory Peck and you live
in terror of the movies snatching
him away to Hollywood or if you
think some ordinary youth without
two ideas to bless himself with an
oracle upon whose words you hang
and whose opinion you quote, then
you may be sure that he is 1t so
far as you are concerned.
Do You Get Fed Up?
A great poet declared once that
the test of love was whether you
could muse all day on an absent
face that had fixed you. That's
hooey. Anybody can long for an
absent face. The trick is to stand
the one that you have gazed upon
365 days a year and still like it.
