Don’t people ask you to their parties anymore? Maybe it’s be cause you need to brush up on your raconteur-ing. YoUr twice- told tales have gone the rounds too often. So today we offer you—free— two of the best stories we’ve heard lately, and you’re welcome to them. (If you’ve already heard them, don’t write and tell us they’re old. Everything is getting older these days.) The first concerns the Army colonel’s wife, stationed in the Philippines in the years before the last war. She had the kind of cook women dream of—a Chihese named Mr. Ling, who could dish up a dream meal for one unex pected guest, or a dozen, on quick notice. Big Party One evening, however, she was having a dinner party for 20 peo ple, including a bishop. “This has to be something really special,” she told Mr. Ling that morning, and explained that the ecclesiastical guest was quite dis tinguished. The Chinese cook seemed deeply impressed. That night he served up a splen did meal. As the guests leaned back, relaxing from the tremen dous repast, in strode Mr. Ling carrying a huge and glittering cake. Beaming, he placed it on the, table before the hostess. Choice Letterinn She and the bishop both leaned over to read some flowery letter- Symphony (Continued from Page 1) Reorganized in 1948, the Hous ton Symphony Orchestra made it’s debut on Nov. 1, of that year.

It’s Concert schedule has been enlarged so it now presents more than twice the number of musidal events it did in former seasons. ing that Mr. Lfhg had inscribed with icing atop the cake. It said: “Hooray for Jesus!” • The second stoiy is raising laughter in United Nations circles here. It concerns a mythical fu ture meeting of “the Big Three”— Truman, Stalin and Churchill. The trio of world leaders were quarreling bitterly about the prob lems of East and West when sud denly a beautiful little fairy ap peared in the conference room. She wore a trailing gown of white and had a twinkling star on her forehead. Waving her small wand, she said gently: No Harsh Words, Please “Gentlemen, gentlemen, please do not use any more harsh words. I can help you out of your diffi culties. Each of you make a wish, and if I grant it perhaps that will solve your problems.” First, she asked Truman his wish. “I want you to take the biggest H-bomb that can be built, set it down in the heart of Russia, and explode it,'’ he said. “That’ll be a big help.” Turning to Stalin, the fairy said: “And your wish?” Big Tidal Wave “I’d like you to raise the great est tidal wave in history,” he said, “and send it clear across the Unit ed States, and wash every Ameri can into the sea. You’ll see how quickly peace will follow.” The little fairy sighed, and turn ed to Churchill, and said: “And your request?” “Oh, just give me a long cigar and a double brandy and soda,” he said cheerfully. “That’ll be quite easy,” said the little fairy, brightening. “I can do that right away.” “No hurry, no hurry,’ replied Churchill, waving his hand airily. “Serve the other two gentlemen first!” What’s Cooking* AGGIE CHRISTIAN FELLOW SHIP: Wednesday, 7:30 p. m YMCA Cabinet Room.
