An occasional tender tone
from the gleaming giant horn
marked the passing progress of its
player. Not until the sounds had
faded into the chilly distance did
I nonchalantly leave the house.
With what joy I met my paramour
who eagerly awaited my arrival
beneath the drooping branches of
a snow-laden cedar!
Such paradise does not dim

its inhabitants are fools. However,

merrily opened the door and
shouted out: "Hey, wait, Jimmy!
I'!! walk with you!" I just might
have evaded detection, at least for
a little longer.
As it was, my heaven was of
short duration. On the third of
my star-gazing sessions my
mother had placed her usual
query and had received her
accustomed reply. 1 thought she
was completely hoodwinked,
whatever that is.
1 followed my established
procedure. After the maudlin
moanings of the tuba had ceased I
strolled toward our trysting place.
"Hello, darling," ! sighed to
the shadowed form. "Oh my
darling, hello, hello!"
"Hello, dear," said my father,
stepping forth over the prostrate
body of a musician who was
unable to oompah for three
weeks.

Cosmetics
for YOU
FOR A CROOKED NOSE
Q. My nose is slightly
crooked. Is there a makeup
trick that would make it look
straighter?
A. If your nose has a
bump on the bridge, a straight
line of cream highlighter down
the center to the tip will make
it appear straight and distract
the eye from the bump.
If you have a broad nose,
use a cover-up stick in a shade
darker than your foundation
and blend it along the sides of
your nose and over the tip.
if your nose is skewed to
the right, shade in a slightly
deeper shade of foundation
down the left side, angling it in
from the side to the tip like a
triangle. If your nose skews to
the left, reverse the procedure.
Angle the deeper foundation
shade on the right side in
toward the tip.
If your nose is too long and
pointy, apply a deeper shade of
foundation lust at the tip.

Among the most amusing of
human maneuvers are those
all-too-often inadequate attempts
of the indiscreet to mask their
indiscretions in innocence. I am
well qualified to comment, having
embarked at a rather early age
upon a misguided career in the
questionable art of misdirection.
While still a high school
student, my musical precocity
~ombined with a paucity of local
lalent to earn for me a second
clarinetist's chair in the college
band. There an utterly
unexplainable mutual attraction
t la~ed and flourished between
myself and a tuba virtuoso.
My own emotional upheaval
was understandable. Jimmy was
charming and debonair, a
handsome and sophisticated
perennial pupil. His 25 summers
had bestowed upon him a glow of
virility and masculine beauty. My
15 grim and grisly winters had
done for me nothing too

purloined after band practices,
the two of us wending our
separate and well-behaved ways as
we left the building, maintaining
an aloofness no doubt in itself

Never did our glances meet,
and in no manner did we indicate
the slightest interest in or
awareness of one another. How
elaborately casual were our
well-spaced departures and how
adroit our cleverly contrived
avoidances of the chance public
encounter!
Autumn ran riot in the city

my home. A touch of winter

technicolor crackled underfoot as

my way to twice-weekly evening
band rehearsals at the half-mile
distant college.
Darkness descended ever
earlier, and soon our post-practice
meetings were augmented by a
shared walk to the college
through the quiet cold. We met
by preconceived signal in the
friendly shadows of the park.

Simpson gives
check for $1,000
to 4-H Foundation
The Simpson Timber
Company Foundation has
presented a $1,000 check to the
Washington State 4-H Foundation
to assist in sponsoring a forestry
and outdoor resources education
program.
Ray Crabbs, executive
director of the 4-H foundation,
said the money will be used to
educate youth in career
opportunities, teach them the
value of natural resources and give
them an appreciation of safety in
wilderness areas.
More specifically, Simpson's
contribution will continue the
timber company's support of the
Panhandle Lake Invitational
Forestry Contest. This year the
event is set for May 17 and will
include such things as tree
identification, compass reading,
pacing, and general forest
knowledge. Basic training taught
by professional foresters will
precede the contest.
Crabbs pointed out that Dave
James, recently retired senior vice
president of Simpson Timber, also
was a founding trustee in the 4-H
foundation and was instrumental
in the development of the
forestry and resources program
now being carried on.
