E. B. L. 8. Christmas Party.
Little giris, littte boys, bare knees,
hair bows, stately princess, oyster-
man, Spanish senors and senoritas,
stiff-looking men, alt slipped into the
Girls' Club room Monday noon for the
regular Christmas stunt party. What
took place inside would be hard to de-
scribe. Stunts followed stunts until
everyone showed their cleverness in
some way. Perhaps the best ones were
the dramatization in shadowgraphs of
a well known humorous poem, and the
Spanish Tragedy. Miss Eaton's swim-
ming was the stellar attraction qf the
first, and Miss G. Lane's smoking of
the other.
Each person received an appropriate
gift from the big Christmas tree in
the corner. A verse and stick of candy
were added to the gift just to make
things interesting. Mrs. Sara David-
son acted as Santa Claus.
The climax of the hour was reached
when Misses Johnson and Reagan,
eailed on for their stunt, said they
could not amuse the guests, but they

all descriptions were the result of the

8UME RANSOME LEAVES COL-
LEGE.
Slime Ransome dropped out of
schooi last week in order to take up
a position with a chemical department
of the oil company at Bay Town. Fi-
nancial reasons are thought to be the
cause of his stopping school. Ran-
some made a name for himself this
year ^t Rice by his excellent work
on the freshman football squad. He
was a promising prospect for next
year's varsity team. It is hoped that
he will return next year to again take
up his Work.
THE 8PtRtT OP UNORE88.
I am the spirit of undress.
I keep everybody guessing what's
coming off next.
I strip my devotees three-quartera
naked, half hide the rest of their fleah
with chiffon diapbomouB as a moon-
beam, and call the result an evening
gown.
I believe woman is never ao well
dressed aa when half undressed.
I lift her skirts so high that shapely
legs are no longer a tantalizing mys-
tery.
I cut her waists go^low thpt about
everything except the fahtiiy skeleton
becomes an open secret.
I reveal to the world's eager
a multitude of shins.
I am secretly cursed by the bow-leg-
ged, the hollow chested, the scrawny.
I am opeply Messed by all those
millions of women who tMnk them-
selves reincarnations of Venus.
I don't thtnk the female form any-
thing to be ashamed ot oven though
it's not j^ways aa divine as it might
With two-thirds of their student
body, many of their faculty, a fighting
team, and a peppy band, Rice came to
A. and M. for the game. Their stay
was brief and our facilities for enter-
tainment were limited, yet we gladly
extended our welcome and did our best
to make the trip an enjoyable one for
them. Their team put up one of the
hardest fights seen on Kyie Field in a
long time. They lost and took defeat
iike sportsmen. We trust that our vic-
tory was in like manner. The Owls
are assured of a student body strongly
behind them. Such a demonstration
in yelling was never observed by A.
and M. from a co-ed student body.
What they lacked in numbers they had
In pep. The co-eds especially deserve
great credit for their support of their
team. The Owl yell-leaders are like-
wise entitled to much honor. The Rice
band is one which we consider among
the best student organizations in the
state. The drum major was novel and
as a Freshman was overheard to say,
"He must be either a very brave man
or something less compiimentary!"
The Owi Waik came up to its reputa-
tion. Ait things considered, we en-
joyed Rice's visit immensely and will
look forward to our visit next season
and to their return in '22.—Editorial
from A. and M. Battalion.
I don't think a woman should be
forced to go on the stage in order to
show off her charms.
1 display everywhere for nothing
more than you can see at any theatre
for any money.
I am the chief reason why blindness
isheii.
I snap my fingers at modesty's
blushes.
I make Eve with her fig leaf aeem
prudish and overdressed.
I take Kipling's "rag, bone, and hank
of hair" literally—with very little of
the rag.
I deserve the thanks of every hus-
band for freeing his wife's back of
anything to hook up.
I delight in bare facts.
I adore the naked truth.
I am absolutely irresistible.
I can get any woman in time, for,
as the poet said, they're all sisters un-
der their skins—or was it sins?
I haven't reached my limit yet, ao
juat keep your eyes on me, the Spirit
of Undress—The Tatler.
