Anybody see my one-way ticket to Whipples? Gadzooks, but this is crazy weather no? Kinda keeps your mind off studying and more towards ideas of how to beat the heat (you old ra tionalizer, you!) Greatest part about the temp is that cord suits are still seasonal—worst is watching football at Beaver Field and feeling like you’re at the Cotton Bowl. But ETHEL’S always has cool ideas for you . . . Music to chase morning misery instead of a blaring bell to shake you out of bed at dawn, how about a tinkling music box alarm tucked away in a clock strongly resembling a miniature radio? No more will your roommate have to get a stepladder to get you off the chandelier before you reach that bothersome button. And once out of dreamland, switch the button of that neat, compact portable radio avail able at ETHEL’S, with a great gadget to save battery blues. Fresh as spring is the lovely scent exotieafiy titled “After Five” by Au vergne. Throw away that gar lic salt you’ve been using as parfum and dust yourself with this lingering fragrance. Give yourself the brush-off with the dusting powder or dash yourself with the col ogne, anyone can get scent— imental over this! Scotch —all the way ... Both the plaid and maybe the contents of this great fifth size bottle carrier. Tall and tapered, it zips around and locks (no duplicate keys made). What better way to keep those cotton picking hands of fraternity brothers off your spirit supply? Great for traveling and good gift for Dad—looks fine in cabi nets or glove compartments. Guess that’s it guys and gals, much more interest lies at ETHEL’S. Hustle down and prove my point. Meanwhile, have a great weekend! Sb&fa***g. IIS I. COINS! AYE. STATS (ONUS, PA. PAGE
