they go out of their way to offer aid.

THE Y. M. C. A. IS YOUR Y. M. C. A.
The Y. M. C. A. is under the ad
ministration of a new and able sec
retary who seeks to promote the ideal
of the College that every man who
leaves it will be strong mentally, mor
ally and physically.
The aim of the Y is to provide for
the social and religious life of the
students and to exert a wholesome
influence on their work, life and in
terests. For this purpose a Y build
ing is maintained, providing a com
mon meeting place for the students at
all times. Here are found indoor
games, magazines and newspapers,
and music. Then too, the Y is help
ful insofar that it serves as a bu
reau of information. Freshmen abol
ish the idea that if you hang around
the Y that you may be called or dub
bed a Y Fish by some unthoughtful
Soph. Those days are gone and each
year the Y is doing a greater and a
more earnest work. Freshmen fre
quent this place, for you have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose. The
Y is active, and works in unison with
all church denominations, always
ready to provide a place for social and
religious gatherings, club and class
meetings. Ask the old men and get
on the line. Certainly there is room
on the campus for such an organi
zation and the Y is doing a great work
for the students.
Lou, said the venerable Dean to
the very young person beside his
desk, u the very best start you can
make in college is to get yourself
a fine new fountain pen. Nothing
like it for lecture notes, required
readings, memoranda. Provided
it’s dependable. Now this one, I
myself have used for a college
generation!”
The dear old Dean might just as
well have said, “Go get yourself a
Wahl Pen.” For there is no foun
tain pen that’s more of a help in
any course—it writes like a charm,
it holds more ink, it fills up in a
jiffy and refills clean—and it’s the
most dependable of all.
Romp over to the Wahl Pen and
Eversharp counter now, and get
yourself the Wahl you like. All
styles there — slim, thick, long,
short: every one of ’em holding far
more ink than other pens that look
much bigger. Nice looking, too:
solid gold or sterling silver, gold-
or silver-filled, red, black, or
mottled rubber. Exactly the point
that suits your hand: stiff or flex
ible, fine, medium, stub, oblique or
Wahl Standard Signature—all in
iridium-tipped solid gold.
From cap to nib, a Wahl Pen’s
practically indestructible. One
bought now will last you all
through college and the first six
jobs beyond.
$3 to $7 for the silver or rubber
$6 and Northward for the gold

‘THE ROMANTIC COMMEDIANS’
Ellen Glasgow’s new novel, “The
Romantic Commedians,” is a tragedy
of old age. She has diverged from the
path usually trod by the novelist, and
she has done it with a keen and com
prehensive psychology of her char
acters and the result is a fine story
which leaves a taste of reality, of
sincerity, in the mouth of the most
discerning critic. &
The theme of the novel is the life
of an old Southern gentleman whose
devoted wi?e has died and who has
again married a very young woman,
who in turn deserted her aged lover
and capitulated to one who had vigor
and youth, the inexorable demands of
love of early womanhood.
The ultimate goal of the story: to
show the hold the love instinct has
on ' man, its struggle with common
sense and judgment and its final vic
tory over the forces of convention,
good taste, and prudence, is told with
powerful directness.
The story would be deeply tragic
if it were not for one humorous char
acter who is used at the same time
as a tool to voice the new thought
process of Southern tradition.
The epigrammatic style and ironi
cal flavor makes us think of Joseph
Conrad. What he has done to justify
the strength, the romance, and glam-
mour of youth, Miss Glasgow has done
for old age, making us love and under
stand it, but reminding us that often
it is pathetically tragic, and drab as
a leaden winter day.
