EXPLAINING THE MORALS
OF “WATERLOO BRIDGE”
“The war in England did not
cover so great a multitude of sins
that Myra should have lived.”
The ungarnished announcement
came from the distinguished British
character actress, Ethel Griffes, as
she played pedagogue to the bril-
liant group engaged in filming Uni-
versal’s arresting drama of war-time
London,“ Waterloo Bridge.”
By way of explanation, Myra was
a girl—one of whom the rotten
times of 1918 had plunged down-
ward from chorus girl to cheap
artist’s model—to street walker. A
boyish, yduhg Canadian soldier—
clean, upright, straight—falls ideal-
istically in love with Myra in the
pages of the Robert E. Sherwood
narrative, and strangely, she falls
in love with him. The boy’s love is
that sort that evinces itself in terms
of flowers, front gates, babies, fire-
places and tenderness—a far cry
from her existence.
There was much discussion and
chapters of argument among the
famous cast members and their cele-
brated director, James Whale, as
to whether Myra was not the least
bit too unnecessarily tragic when,
after promising to marry the boy—
virtually to get him off the street
during an air raid—slhe felt that
only death could cleanse her suffi-
ciently even to think tenderly of
him.

JUNIOR ALTRUISTIC
Members of the Junior Altruistic
Club will meet with Mrs. R. M.
i Johnson December 18th. The fol-
lowing program will be carried out:
Subject—Personal Beauty As An
Element in Personality.
Leader.—Mrs. Raymond Lunn.
Roll Call.—Your choice of being
beautiful or intelligent and why?
1. Certain experiments, not dis-
cussed in the references, show that
on the whole beauty and intelligence
are not related. Beautiful people are
not necessarily stupid; unattractive
people are not necessarily intelli-
gent. The expression, “Beautiful but
dumb” is misleading. Duscuss this
in the light of your common
experience.—Mrs. Morris Han-
2. Outline Dunlap’s suggestions
for racial betterment, and discuss
them from a practical standpoint.—
Mrs. Raymond Lunn.
3. Does Dqfnlap ovpr-emphasize
personal beauty, as he defines it, or
is he calling attention to an aspect
of personality which has been neg-
lected?—Mrs. Glen Nixon.
4. Club Christmas Tree.

tide season was carried out in the
ON BEING POLITE
The two cars met head on. But |
wonder of wonders! The respective!
drivers who descended from each j
were apologetic.
“It was all my fault,” admitted
the woman driver of one.
“The fault was all mine,” gal-
lantly responded the male driver of
the other.
“No,” replied th'e woman, “it was
mine.”
“Indeed not, madam,” replied the
man. “I saw you coming several
blocks away and could easily have
darted down a side street.”

Sudden Guests Didn't
Dismay Mrs. A. Bohl
When 60 unexpected guests and
relatives descended on Mrs. Alfred
Bohl of Big Foot community in Frio
county a few Sundays ago, she fed
every one of them with products
from her 4-H pantry with the excep-
tion of 50 cents worth of steak and
two chickens. “Two years ago,” she
says, “I could not have fed half
that number without going to town
for extra groceries. This time I
just stepped to the pantry and
started opening four cans of every-
thing. That canned dinner and my
pantry was the talk of the party.”
Mrs. Bohl has 1200 cans and 300
jars of vegetables, meats and fruit
in her pantry. She has also helped I
neighbors can 750 containers at
her house, and 300 cans for women
living outside the county.

Young Wife: “Oh, I feel so mis-
erable. My husband has been out
all evening, and I haven’t the
faintest idea where he is.
Wife: “My dear, don’t worry.
You’d probably be twice as miser-
able if you did know.—Exchange.
Origin Of Some
Wedding Customs
Why is the wedding ring placed
on the fourth finger of the left
hand?
The choice of the fourth finger
of the left hand for the ring is an
old custom of pagan Rome. It was
believed that a nerve went direct
from that finger to the heart.
Do you know why a bride wears
a veil?
The veil is but the continuance of
the ancient Eastern rule that no
man save her husband should see
a woman’s face, and not even then
until after the ceremony.
Why is there a wedding cake?
The wedding cake is Roman in
origin. A cake made of flour, salt
and water was always eaten by
Roman couples in the presence of
the priest. It formed part of the
marriage rites.
Why are rice and old shoes
thrown after the departing wedding
couple?
The throwing of rice is an old
Eastern custom. Rice is the staple
food in the Fast and throwing it
symbolizes a wish for plently.
-o-
MORE SYMPATHY
Mama: “But, Johnny, if your ear-
ache is better why do you keep on
crying?”
Johnnie: “I’m waiting for my
D-daddy to c-come home. He’s never
seen me with the earache.”—Ex-
change.
