THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
Can it be that Ye Old Cookie Jar is
low extinct?
That big brown jar filled with warm spicy cookies which one ate to satisfy his after-school hunger and whose contents never grew stale for want of appreciation. Those rough ill-shaped oatmeal cakes that helped pass a rainy Sunday away while one read a thrilling detective story. These crisp sugar cookies piled high on a plate, to crunch when seated under a June sky, with an ice tree for protection and a frosty class of lemonade to accompany them. Those sugary crudged doughnuts fresh from the hot stove, to enjoy on cold snowy days after a long walk from town, seated on a high站 in the kitchen. But best of all were the little bumpy rocks filled with walnuts at night (any time after twelve) when have returned from a strenuous dance the cook jar raider supplied himself generously and wended his heeay way upstairs.
But cookie jars must have genius behind them, and with Grandmother out rounding up the vote in the city election and with Mother striving to win the prize at the Wednesday bridge club there seems to be little hope of their survival. Anyway, the butler's panie is entirely too small.-B. C.
SUMMER DREAMS
"Lives there a man with a soul so dead who never to himself has said, 'How I wish I could go back to my boyhood days and fish and roam the country as I did when a youth.'"
But what a different story he finds when he arrives on the old "two-ten" he old gang is scattered to the four corners of the world. Smith is in Alaska running a mine; Smith is in London at the head of an American exporting house]; Brown is in the fruit importing business—left a short time up to take a trip through Europe and the Orient; and Williams is in the hardware business. So our visitor calls on Williams, only to find that he is doing fine but has no time for fishing or swimming.
At the beginning of the warm summer months the old swimming hole and fishing trips of yore are memories that stir the most grim man of business and make him want to go out to his home town and see all the old gang, and learn how they are getting along. To see Smitch, Smith, Brown, Williams, and the rest of them often takes such a strong hold on the man who has been too busy for years to keep track of his old friends that he finally decides to take a little vacation and go home and renew all his old acquaintances.
The business man stays around the home town for a few days but in the he gives the trip up as a complete failure and goes back home. The vacation has served only to emphasize the fact that the past lives best in memory, and any effort to reconstruct it in actuality lies in the realization that it is gone forever.-C.D. S.
SHOPPING
From the standpoint of the newspaper sport page the great American sport may be baseball or golf or what not, but as every woman knows, the greatest of American sports is Shopping. How many men, in the face of a boiling July afternoon, will devote an entire afternoon to the pursuance of some hobby? Yet a woman, with no thought of singular courage, her most intent interest being on her powder-puff, will spend hours buying
a spool of thread and matching a sample of silk.
The first qualification for an exor shopper is a pure and unadulterated imagination. What but a fantastic concoct can enable a woman, who knows that her bank book shows a balance of $0.45 to her credit, to walk into a shop and try on fur coats by the dozen, only to come to the realization that it is so hard for her to decide which one she sees to like. Of course, she'll be back to look at them farther and to make up her mind. That time will probably be the next year when her bank account is it much the same condition.
To see a group of lovely dresses in the window is but a cue for the shopper to go in and look at all of them. Necessarily at times it is a severe temptation to keep from buying one—but the game of shopping says nothing of buying.
Another requisite is patience. It takes so long to stand one’s turn to be waited on when there is a crowd. Then after one has finally received some attention it is miserably exasperating to find that there is no camogue crepe-dchine in stock; only a deep heavy yellow that would not do at all. Persistence is also required. One ought always to be sure of getting exactly what was wanted. “Accept no substitutes” has become more than a byword.
The only disadvantage of this sport of shopping is that there has not yet been enough agitation among the leaders to warrant the establishment of a
"shopper's league" wherein a number of competitive games might be scheduled. So far it has been a game played solitaire. It is hoped that under the present administration steps may be taken to organize the game in a proper manner and have it placed in the same exalted position as bestowed upon the regular sports of the sporting pages. —S.

PERHAPS EDISON WAS RIGHT
The fact that Tom Edison believes the average college graduate is amazing ignorance may be the reason he doesn't return or are returning to summer school.
We must admit, in spite of the pessimists, to the contrary, that education seems to be in full sway
Yea, verily, Tom may be right. So if you call a familiar number and get chilled by the reply, don't blame anyone but remember that the fall is yet to happen and the world is not bad after all—A. F. N.
Brick's, the paradise of the seicable youth, is closed at 7 o'clock. "Chuck" and his band no longer entertain for the tea tounks at Wielde's and last, the porches, familiar hang-outs for the lounge lizzies, have been deserted by the "sweet young things" and replaced by the stern school-marmw who is searching for the fourth dimension.

After a glimpse of the carnival at Woodland Park, those of us who have lived in this vale of tears for twenty-five years are grateful that the good old times when we were little shavers, and went to the carnival—or "street fair," as it was sometimes called—with thirty-five or forty cents in our pockets and had a g-1-o-i-u-s o
THE CARNIVAL
In breatheless awe we watched the high-dive make his daring leap; we stood around under the flaring and sputtering gasoline torches and listened to the bally-hous; we tried our luck at the roulette wheel where the prize was a "spool" watch; and when came back, we looked for the next one and tired, and convinced that we had seen some of the wonders of the big world.
The carnival carried an atmosphere of romanticism to us, it was a breath of the outside world—which we knew only in our geographies and storybooks—brought before us. The kids of today seem harder to fool than we were, but, we may be getting old and just imagine it. At any rate, we'll
never forget the days when the "greatest show on earth" came to town, and when our most popular sport—either outdoor or indoor—was to talk about it. The word is anecdotal, and to stimulate the acts and articles of the performers—C. L. S.,
In my Enjoyment Stables there are several stalls where we inquire my kiby saddle-horses. Some of them I ride quite frequently and others only occasionally, but all are fairly well-groomed and looked after.
My Pet Hobby Is—
SEVERAL THINGS—WHAT'S YOURS?
This little animal in the first stall I call "Hyacinthic." I only use him in fine weather of fall and early spring. About October there comes a never-failing thirst in pinteresting with tin cans, black loam, leaf mold and the dull-looking bulbs. Then come the careful watering the dark months, forcing, and hastily the flowers, white, pink, red, white, pink, and purple, filling the furnace-heated air with heavy, sensuous sweetness.
The next stall is "Jazz," but she got so fractional I couldn't keep her in it, so he to get rid of her. Her place is "to let."
And now we come to my favorite team of hobbies — I can't decide between them because they work double so well. The first I call "Habit" be it the need for a hobby, being him. However, he is now the most docile and useful of all my hobby-steeds. Having once been accused of "being hard to get acquainted with," I determined to overcome such an objection by making a hobby of making friends.
"Habits?" team-mate I have named "Scribbling." He is a vicious, jealous, selfish little brute, who requires lots of time and not be put off for any other. I have even mounted him at midnight and come back exhausted. This particular hobby has a fascination that none other can bear—not only that he is the most never have satisfied rhetoric teachers, diaries or also "the colm". So, I'm tempted to call him "favorite" and say, "What's yours?", A. L. C.
