BACK INTO HARNESS AGAIN
With the beginning of school in the fall all the world seems to swing back into its workday mood. Summer pleasures are forgotten and banished till another year with summer weather. The desire to play is replaced by a mood that calls for the accomplishment of real tasks.
And it is the student who leads the world back to its labors again. Although there may be a few of these "tail-blazers" who pretend to hate the thought of school, yet they are in reality enjoying the return to books as much as the so-called "grind." There is all the thrill of meeting old friends again, the making of new ones, the greeting of beloved instructors, the planning of a perfect schedule, and above all, the thrill that comes with the donning of new rament.
Summer has its pleasures and they are many, but there is something about autumn that brings a contentment greater than anything the summer months have brought forth. For after all, there is nothing like getting back into harness again.
Not long ago a woman shot her husband because he trumpeted her not in a bridge game. One wonders if he was buried with simple honors.
WHO'S NEXT?
"And when we are going to swim the Channel?" seems to be the favorites query today. Even that old standby, the weather, has been displaced by this new topic of conversation. Greetings are no more prefaced by remarks about the health of the speakers but are introduced by "I hear you're planning to swim the Channel next year."
Even "Red" Grange and Valentine dwindled into insignificance when Gertrude Ederle returned to her proudly-awning native land. In fact, swimming the Channel has become a topic of importance to most of the world and especially to those nations whose citizens have so valiantly batted the waves of that short, but grim, stretch of water. With the successful attempts of Miss Ederle and her fellow countrywoman to the breaking of all previous records by the German entry, this event has been the topic of the summer. As football is to the fall sport fan so the Channel swim is to the lover of summer fonts of endurance and skill.
We wish to tender a note of thanks to all the successful contestants for affording a new conversational basis but most of all we do wish to thank them all for bringing our causal everyday greeting out of its rut.
FEET
"If you really want to know people," said the efficient young lady as she stopped typing for a moment, "observe their feet. I sit here in this basement room, pounding a typwriter day after day, but it does not get monotonic because I go on a mental spree when I feel the necessity." Indulge in my favorite indoor sport, studying the feet that pass my window. It's teaching me a lot about human nature."
The face has always been accepted as a sensitive record of the mind and heart. Nearly all of us like to study faces. "What secrets I can read as I walk the streets," we say to ourselves, and as we search the faces inthe crowd we are delighted with our deductions. Indeed, the study of faces is never a dull pursuit, but the study of feet is just as enlightening and much more anuming.
Do you remember when, back in your grade school days, you used to play a silly little game in which you had to choose your partner by a recognition of her feet? The girls would be hidden behind an improvised curtain with only their feet showing. "Gush, what do Sally's feet look like?" you would ask yourself in conservation before the bewildering display. Then you usually chose, that horrid girl next door instead of Sally. Perhaps this youthful game taught you to notice feet. Perhaps you, too have looked out of a basement window and judged people by their feet because you could not see their faces. At any rate, you can learn much about your fellow creatures by studying their feet. The feet belonging to K. U. students disclose secrets of college life as do none of the tiresome books and pretentious essays on he subject.
You see all shapes and sizes of feet, but it is not the contour of feet but rather the choice of shoes that reveals the owners. As there is little opportunity for individuality in men's footwear, the most interesting revelations are disclosed by scrutinizing feminine feet. After a little practice, you recognize instantly the poor girls and the rich, the outdoor girls and the hot house flowers, the real students and the social butterflies, the old maids and the flappers, the school teachers and the "collegates." A pair of small blond kid pumps hurry past. "That little person is afraid of her tiny feet and will not
risk their distinction with low heels, you surmise. Next comes a pair of old black satins with cut steel buckles and frayed French beers, and you decide that the waver is wearing out her old dancing pumps at school. | Oxfords with military heels are followed by strap slippers with Spanish heel. Painfully new shoes walk in company with shabby, run-over shoes. One sees street shoes and party slippers, sensible shoes and foolish shoes, conservative and extreme styles — each pair telling its tale about the personality of the wearer.
Comb Hills for Kansan — says a headline. Really, this is nimble too good to believe. We never know before that anyone would take such雯 measures to read the Kansan.
