The Old
South
BY Eve L. Burwen

ss -
How many women groan over
the chores of raising a family,
realize later, after the children
are grown and have left home
that those were the happiest days
OF all? What a pity they did not
know it at the time.
And I wonder why no full grown
woman of the present can pos
sibly get into any garment her
grandmother wore. And no man
today could squeeze into his grand
fathers wedding trousers.
And as for sleeping in the old
cord-bed, it simply can't be done
without portions of your feet
sticking out, or hanging over. Yet,
our grandparents slept in these
beds with a baby between them,
and two youngsters at the foot.
Just contrast tins couch with our
nice twin beds of today and then
we remember. too, what enormous
broods of children were raised then
as compared with our one, or two,
in a firmly today; of wonder, there
is no end,
Just look at the tiny body of
grandmother's frock, which we
are vainly trying to get into, for
he fancy-dress occasion. My own
dear little grandmother gave birth
to fifteen children and lived to be
ninety-four, Then we feel the mys-
tery of life deepening around us.
How could this mother have such
a tiny waist?
The dress, lined and stayed, long
sleeves buttoned or hooked to the
neck. The sleeves SO narrow that
it was impossible to bend the ell
bow, and the waist measure was
also impossible, the hoop-skirts,
he lovely shawls, and mantillaS,
not to mention the huge hats and
wells. They were all hampering
here was no freedom of life and
limb clothed thus. But they were
SO elegant and aristocratic. We
have a few women today who are
still in the old fashioned walks OF
life, who stay at home bearing
children, cooking, cleaning, dress
'ng plainly, and holding to the
old ideals of modesty.
But you cannot deny that this is
not the tendency of the age. The
boudoir effects one sees in public
places, even in rural parts, are
quite demoraliZing, and one can't
lelp wonder why parents do not
stop, instead of encouraging, this
extreme laxity. Perhaps we will
return to the customs of the an
clients when the gods ana god
deSses came down to the earth
clothed in nothing but pink clouds,
and showers of gold and rainbows.
Well, I am afraid so much nu-
dity is going to bear some un-
pleasant consequences. Maybe not,
of course. Perhaps I am all wrong.

Take one egg, one cup sugar,
one-half butter or one stick oleo,

Harry finds that the teach

a certain time by the faculty
only for the fantastic prices
their parents are willing to
pay. The only decent person
on the faculty is Adeline

Smith is so angry that he lash
es out too wildly against what
is probably a partly imagin-
airy target - for every real
Grey Hall in existence, there
are many good schools. And
in his desire TO puncture-
phoniness and pretense, es-
pecially in language, he has
gone to the other extreme of
vulgarity and repetitious pro-
family. The book is occasional
ly funny, but it ends by Dor
ing and by falling to convince
the reader that the Harry

meditation.
1t was in the same church
on the Sunday before Christ
mas, that DR.. Betz received
conditional baptism as a Cath
Ollie from Father Alfred G..
Stritch, chaplain of Our La
dy of Cincinnati College.
A few years after his intro
duction to the Catholic
Church through the visit to
st. Georges, he became a
member of the United Breth-
rem Church. BY the time he
had enrolled at the University
Of Cincinnati, where he later
received his doctorate, he had
become a lay preacher.
But he took voice lessons
from the late Charles Young,
choirmaster Of st. Georges,

not flag. He was a frequent
