THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C.—GRAVURE SECTION-DECEMBER The Christmas Vacation By W. E. Hill (Copyright 1928. By The Chicago Tribune Syndicate.) Mitchei failed in-philosophy and he's studying up during the holidays. “Thus the form of external sensuos intuition.” reads the printed page, “is the principle of the original synthetical unity of appreciation.’ Katherine, the co-ed, is home for the Yuletide and a good old- fashioned Christmas. Katherine has just been welcomed home by old Mrs. Chip, while giving Main street the once over. Mrs. Chip has heard terrible things about co-eds from a cousin who lives in a college town and wants to know the truth. Arthur and his pa are at it again. Pa is being very firm while Arthur is explaining a few little things like bills and the note from the dean’s office which hinted that since Arthur had failed to pull more than D in chemistry, ancient history, and mod- ern government, something had bet- ter be done about it, Arthur left the note lying around and, of course, the family had to read it, which was a pity. Pa can't seem to grasp the idea that a sophomore member of Psi Hoo Hoops, H. B. B. (Hard Boiled Bozos), and a few other things, known as college activities, has a lot on his hands. “Gosh, Pa,” pleads Arthur, “you wouldn't want a son of yours to be a grind, would you?" “Tell me, Herbie, what does this )okm about Mrs. Santa Klaus playing strip poker mean? And what is strip poker?” Look at Aunt Laura giving the college funny paper the once over. It's all right, boy, she's not getting many of the good ones. “0, Sam, you do look so fun-ee with your mouth all pursed up to kiss me! O, you are too killing! Just like one of Singer's Midgets!” Bertha is awfully popular with the girls at Normal School on account of her marvelous sense of humor. Always seeing the funny side. It's not going so good under the mis:letoe, however. Maybe her young man won't kiss her after all! Bertha, the Smith junior and her baby sistér, Sally, are having a talk. “See if you can tone her down,” said her mother, when Bertha arrived for the holidays “See if you can’t do something with moth- er,” said Sally to Bertha. “She’s forever telling me how she used to wear seven petticoats when she was a girl, and she’s hidden my flask!” This is Joel's first home-coming since he entered the State Agricultural College. Naturally, lhelfix;st thing hcc) did after combing the corn husks out of his hair was to call on his girl, Ida. But, how people change! Joel wants to tell Ida all about the college life, how they trick the chickens into working 23 hours a day by using artificial Lucille has just been ta;‘ken in M““‘f Klappa 'ée“p'e sunlight, and how pm\derrd bonc fertlizer is gradu‘llh supplanting_the old- f.nhu)ncd |rls and, of One is flltl 'd“p l'“? i atestd ACES atsy Ruth Miller Club.
