La Revue
By Irene
I noticed that the Idlers Club held
a reunion at the game Saturday.
Three of the former semi-trat tights
sat opposite the Rice rooting section,
in the South stands. They were
Messrs. Sam Fiteh, Ben MiteheM and
George Red. Each had a date which
of course, excuses their absence from
the rooting section. Miss Aiiie Mae
Autry was the oniy giri I couid rec-
ognize at the distance. I think she
was with Mr. Fitch. Miss Mary
Trammeii was in another nearby box
The iittie group was seen to yeit
quite ioudiy on one occasion.
* * *
Didn't think I wouid do it, did you ?
Weii, iast week I said, "If anything
provokes me to mention names in this
coiumn it wiii be those students who
arrive with dates iate at the game
tomorrow, sit in a far end of the
stands and ye!i in a "dignified man-
ner." I may be more courageous than
discreet, but—there you are.
I have some more names. Most of
them are out of town Freshmen who
didn't yeli Saturday, and most of
them are iittie sociai incandescencies.
Some were at the Autry House dance
Saturday night. At the game a dor-
mitory upperciassman toid them to
yeii. At the dance the Freshmen "ad-
vised" the upperciassman to attend
to his own business, etse there
"might" be "troubie."
Irene advises the Freshmen to yeii,
eise there WILL be troubie.
I have the names, aiso of that group
of East Hali disgraces who came in
iate Saturday night, drunk unto iii-
ness.
I have the names aiso of a certain
group of boys and girts prominent at
the Autry House dance iast Saturday
—names in addition to Miss Edwina
Brooks. Some of them were "pri-
vateiy prominent," but they were
seen. The sort of thing that Rev.
Masterson was referring to in his fa-
mous uitimatum. v.. ^
I don't print names except after
fair warning. This is a warning.
* * *
The iittie high schooi and prep
school giris who Hock to Rice on every
possibie occasion are not to be critic-
ised, as it is the nature of the chiid to
bask in the tight of admiration and
seek to gain the attention of the more
sophisticated of the species. But—
the demi-wit beans who And their me-
nial tevei among these chiidish and
immature minds are to be pitied. I
could spoil this gentle rebuke with
that trite remark about the hindrance
of brains to a modern girl, but .
Laugh and the world laughs with
you, but giggle and you giggte at—
Little Miss Jack-in-the-Box of the
Cioisters. Irene wishes you had to
endure the sound of your hysterical
mirth and the ^ight of your clever
jumping antics for just one day.
Third year Siimess (whose father
wouldn't send her to Texas) "The man
I marry must be bold but not audac-
ious; handsome as Apoiio yet indus-
trious as Vuican; wise as Solomon
but meek as Moses—a man all women
would want, yet devoted to oniy the
one woman."
Autry House wiid man—"How lucky
we met."
He had just returned from the prize
Rght and was alt excited over it.
"It was a great scrap, Mary," he
said to his wife, "and Red Mike took
the count."

At a meeting of the Houston Phii-
osophical Society held in the Com-
mons Tuesday night, Dr. Radostav A.
Tsanoif lectured on "Mechanism and
Value."
He pointed out the relation of the
one to the other, and the co-operative
efficiency of both. He aiso mentioned
these essentia] qualities of mechan-
ism spoken of in terms of vaiue.
This organization is composed of
the faculty members and a group of
men from the city—iawyers, sur-
geons, chemists, geologists, engineers,

tific discoveries and advances.

Att hatt to you, tong-haired girl, alt
hait!
The rush of bobbed-heads is inun-
dating Rice but stiii you stand with
unshom toeks breasting the on-rush.
You are one among many.
At! say of you, "She has tong hair;
it is the girt with the tong hair." And
they are answered, "I know the girt
you speak of. I saw a girt in the
Sotiyport today who had tong hair."
What, we ask, is the iength of your
hair? Does it reatty reach to your
shoutders? Is it not hot and bother-
some and where can you get any hair-
pins or hair-nets for it these days?
In these times of snipping scissors
and faiiing of yeiiow, auburn, and
brown, not to speak of grey hair, your
head stit! sports its tresses as of otd.
Your tong hair has a historical sig-
nificance; in by-gone days great !a-
dies wore it, too. You only, of this
great age stitt dress your hair after
their fashion.
Wonder of the universe: rare
creature; subject of the gossip and
recipient of the stares of Riee; stand
forth and show the wortd that you
have tong hair. Among many bobbed
heads, you are a curiosity!

Strong metal girdle reinforces cap
Large ring-end links to note book

T TC 7E asked about 1000 students at sev-
V V enteen universities and colleges the
kind of pen they wanted.
The majority preferred the Parker, but
not all could afford to pay the Parker Duo-
fold price.
So \%?e set to work and produced^ this
black beauty—the Parker D. Q.—formed
on Duofold's classic lines and made by the
aame crafts-guild.
We gave it a 14k gold point tipped with
polished Iridium, and a good healthy ink
capacity; then we added two things we
could find on no other pen of this size be-
low Bve dollars—a rnetal girdle to reinforce
the cap; and an extra large ring link to
fasten to the student's note-book. These
features are included free, or a pocket-clip
instead of ring-end.
The Parker D. Q. is an ink-tight pen. Ask to see
it—note its shapeliness and balance. Try other pens
too, and see how super-smooth the Parker is in
comparison.
