Anson, Possessor Of
A Musical Heritage,
BeganFiddling Early
By Bernie Weissman
Imagine Mrs. Weeks' astonish-
ment ! ! ! The tiny baby she had
brought into the world early that
sunny morning of the late nineties
didn't cry like an ordinary baby. In-
stead the cute little devil lay calmly
and contentedly, softly humming a
catchy tune and fiddling with his
toes.
"Elmer!" delightfully ejaculated
Mrs. Weeks. tElmer was the name
previously decided upon by the fond-
but-foolish parents, before they had
reckoned with their young and head-
strong son.) He immediately, without
warning, and with malice afore-
thought. broke into "Trees." Poor
Mrs. Weeks immediately divined that
he disapproved of his name. She
began to hurriedly try out new names
on him, rapidly going through Ras-
putin, Ezekiel, Threep, Cicero, Toots.
Excaliber, Twerp, Zez, and a few
others that came readily to her mind,
but to no avail.
With maddening and inexorable
persistence the baby hummed "Trees,"
hummed "Trees," and hummed
"Trees." Then, as by heaven-inspired
instinct, the desperate woman gasped
"Anson!" Instantaneously the tiny
tot ceased humming, ceased fiddling,
and ceased lying. To his fullest height
stood the infant, and these words
rumbled forth: "Maw, you've hit it!
I can hear 'em now, saying, 'en-
trancin' is prancin' and dancin' with
Anson.' Zounds, nuts, and sapristi!"
Of course it was apparent that a
maestroship was definitely indicated
in the case of young Anson Weeks.
Not only did he seem to have a mind
of his own and a propensity for music,
but also he was the son of musical
parents. The fortnight (two Weeks-
heh, heh) had both played instru-
ments, Anson, Sr. having flayed the
flute for years, and Mrs. Weeks hav-
ing irritated the ivories well enough
to ensnare Anson, Sr., who needed an
accompanist anyway.
In addition Anson, Jr. had an aunt
who ground the organ in a Toronto
church. This aunt gave the young-
ster the only piano lesson he ever
had, we are told by a reliable corre-
spondent.
His press agent also informs us
that he organized one of the first
(and only) collegiate bands ever to
gain national recognition. On his first
day at the University of California in
1915 he registered and classified in
the morning and collected a band
in the afternoon, so he must be good.
Then - just as in the case of Art
Kassel - came the war. Anson joined
the navy and hied hence. He straight-
ened his shoulders, lifted his chin,
waved a flag, and fell to for dear life
pouring soothing, soulful strains into
the ears of tender, tearful tars.
Two Different Hops
Were Held In 18961
(Continued from Pagr 6)
all in a huff off they went to Toledo,
there to hold what they termed the
"Twentieth Annual Ball" in Memo-
rial Hall.
Well say, can you imagine the ex-
citement on the campus? For one full
week before the dances no one knew
what to say, but everyone said some-
thing. The Waterman group con-
ducted a whispering campaign sug-
gesting that the "young ladies" might
"catch cold" during the long trip by
train to Toledo. The nine fraterni-
ties, admitting this possibility, hinted
that such a condition would not both-
er the Waterman outfit, because there
wouldn't be any young ladies at that
party. So there, you meanies!
Anyway, both dances were held
and since that time the younger

fraternities and independents have
had their share in the J-Hop.
So what?

find that the eyes have it ...
green, grey, blue and brown eye-
shadow, the same shades in mas-
cara, and all by Dorothy Grey ...
the same selection may be made
in the Tussey line. Other eye ac-
cessories are the eye-pencil, Kur-
lash, and a very tricky little gadget
called "Twissors" (tweezers with
scissor handles, to you). Traveling
downward we have an assortment
of evening rouges and lipsticks,
then evening powders by Max Fac-
tor and Dorothy Grey. Next in
order we have smart shades of eve-
ning polish . . . ranging from plat-
inum to old-rose. And last but
... Chanel No. 5 . . . it's the ac-
cepted thing. Or if you prefer
something spicy and just a trifle
heady, have you tried "Night
Flight?"
IF IT'S GAIETY you're looking

atmosphere, by all means include

any rate (to turn Winchell) don't
miss this spot.
IT'S TRULY to be a gala week-
end . . . and have you heard
that Mayfair Fudge (at the Car-
mel Crisp Shop, of course) is way
down as to price, but "maintains
the same high standard of qual-
ity?" It's a fact and we're glad to
pass it along. If you'll remember

we found these basic principles..
as to lingerie you should choose
something in filmy silk or soft
satin ... tailored to mold perfectly.
Foundations ... the boon of young
America . . . are light wisps but oh,
so efficient and smart, too. And for
that slightly "ultra" touch ...you
must see the pajamas . . . they're
luxurious in satin and lace and
the prices, ladies, art completely
within your financial powers.
Then, too, there's Kayser Hose ...
wears so well that we privately call
it "Old Faithful" ... in all the very
best shades for day and evening.
AND NOW that the foundations
are laid let us proceed to build
our "object d'art." At the Eliza-
beth Dillon Shop we learned that
the code for the season is: dress up
for evening and down for daytime.
The very smartest of the dew
Spring clothes are navy or black
trimmed with white. Or perhaps
you'd prefer a knit suit. Then for
later on there are many very clev-
er prints . . . ranging from vivid
to demure but all possessed of that
certain something. Spring will al-
so see many pastels, particularly
in grey and rose, in rough crepe
and silk and, as to prints, paisley
is very definitely "in" this year.
Another "something smart" is a
taffeta suit ... just keep it in mind
for house-parties and things. Fash-
ion note: white quilted collars on
dark or solid prints are good.

THAT'S only one of the wonder-

... and then you can go right on
doing any of the other dozen
things that come into a busy wom-

groomed. We've never seen a wom-
