So, and GSO girls, |you servicemen |wherever you were born, be sure to come to the USO Barn Dance that night at 9:45. It'll be fun! Music by the Servicemen’s !special entertainment during in- termission, delicious refreshments, and striking decorations—each of these, we're confident, will con- Itribute toward making the affair an outstanding success. But from the fellows’ viewpoint the most attractive feature by far will be the fact that all the gi will be wearing gingham dresses (or the equivalent) and sporting pig- tails, if praecticable. Just why men in general seem so partial to ging- ham dresses and pigtails, personally we're not enough of a psychologist | to understand. Maybe you don’t need to be a psychologist—perhaps commonsensically, it’s simply be- cause it reminds them of their boy- hocd days when all the girls the; knew dressed that way. Anyhow, we're confident that what we say cn this point goes for substantially the entire male sex. Note that we referred to “ging- ham dresses (or the equivalent).” In our personal opinion there isn’'t anything that deserves being rated ‘equivalent” to a gingham dress. Contrariwise, we know of one thing that is NOT the equivalent of a gingham dress,— a pair of slacks! |We guess we'd better not speak positively on this subject for any- (body but ourself,—although we never met any man who has a good word to say for slacks when worn by girls. | Incidentally, the decorating com- |mittee is headed up by John Tis- |cher, popular soldier from Chicago. |Everyone remembers the excellent {job John did with the decorations at our barn dance last spring. | We'll be seeing you Saturday |night at the USO without fail— |AND WITHOUT, SLACKS!
