Holiday Spirit
The f.'east of Chriltmas is the one event, we
can !afely admit, for which enthusiasm does not
have to be encouraged. We can talk about for<:ing
ourselve, into the "spirit" of ! ports, games and
ceremonies, even "school spirit" at times needs a
jolt in tbe right diredion,- bowever, the "Bpirit
of Cbristmas" manifesb itself on people'a faces,
not as a fe igned expreSliion but indeed liS the
effeet of some inner illumination.
We are con!l(:ious of this pleasing sensation, not
only as the barbinger of the bolidays but also as tbe
result of charity. After all, doing good for others
is very !IIItisfying. We lire of tbe opinion that the
world needs less "high·browed" inteJleduals or
self.ambitious individuals and more Ileople that are
kind. For some persons, it is jUst a$ difficult an
IIrt to learn how to be charitable and kind as it is
to solve tbe mo ~ t intricate national problem. Yet,
at Christmas ever~' heart seems to thaw a little and
to r!.!Cogni%e the poverty of the leu fortunate ones
around them. Collegians are supplying Christmas
baskets, clothe!, lind toys for tbe poor. Wby not
give !Ome POOl' fnmilics the joy of a Christmas
dinner. the toys and presen ts that to us Beem just
naturally associated witb tbi! feast! Again we
beg-be kind.
Just as a perllonal toucb- we hope that it will
snow Christmas Eve, so t hat the electric lights of
Cbristmas Tide will prove most effective sbi ning
on the white snow as the soft cbime or bells carol
through the air.
And bow about tbole New Year Resolutions~
IH it necessary tbat they should go where all good
New Year Resolutions are said to go,~into oblivion!
However, we sincerely wisb you a very s ucce88-ful
New Year and again we ask t he students to
spread that "spirit of Christmas" into many, many
homes which otherwise would be very sad indeed.

Dino Grandi
To nny one interested in politics and in the
moulding of national affain the visit to America
of Italy's Minister of Foreign Alfain assumes an
espeeial significance. Tbe political world of to· day
has reached a crisis which individual nations can·
not hOlle to solve independently of one n!lother.
It is with this in mind tbat we must look Iavorably
on Hoover's conference with Dino Grandi.
His Excellency came to America, conCerred with
the President on world affai T1l, spoke to most of
tbe outstanding statesmen of OUr country, and bas
returned to Italy to l'eport to Mussolini. II we
judge rightly the consensus of opinion, we may
say that bis mililiion was most successful. We can
most allSuredly say that he has won his way i!lto
THE GLEANEn
the hearts of American statesmen, who perhaps
wonder at the a! tutenelili of so young a member
of their ranks.
America, as a symbol of the greatest democracy
on earth, cannot easily understand a regime of
dictlltonhip Buch as exists in Italy to·day. Yet,
we mu!t look aJ$() upon the Italy of ye5terday,tbe
Italy in which political graft and seeret diplo·
macy, as the primary evils t hat lead nations to
grief and bring bloodshed and ~uffer!ng to tbe
great mass of common people, were rampant.
FallCi!m, which Dino Grandi upholds, was started
by the youtb of Italy who undentood these causes
and are earnestly trying to eliminate them from
the body· politic of their nation . If we are dis·
inclined to believe that thcy seek tbe trutb and are
working for tbe betterment of the human race, we
cannot, nevertheless, fail to admit the sincerity of
the fascist repre5entlltive.
He write! thus in the New York Times ; "We
must fortify justice and not justify force. .. I
mean by justice not a mere system of treaties, of
written or verbal agreements, of international
courb; I mean justice as a Btllndard of conduct,
as a moral habit, as a spirit of co--operation; I
mean justice compounded of bumsn sympathy.
Speaking from tbe European standpoint, I do not
believe we can dispose of any problem by calling
it 'American'." One would Bay that America's
President is of tbe same opinion. However, what
do America's citi:r.ens say? First came the repre·
sentative of France and then of Italy, but we
remain still somewhat on tbe outside of t hose
closed doors. M. Romuno, '33.
Fatal Relulh?
Not long ago Andre Maurois, noted French
writer, kindly came to the defense of America and
her educational sy! tem. and refuted the European,
and especially the Engli!\h charges that America
is a menace to European culture, that her educa·
tional system produces fatal resulb. Espeeially
grateful are we that someO!le not on our own side
of the ocean can see some tangible good resulting
from the vast opportunity foc education open to
Amcricans today. The fault is ours that tbese
res ults are not more evident, and, we venture to
say, more abundant.
We of America are entirely belligerent when
Europeans cold-bloodedly cbarge us with menacing
tbeir culture. We know we are not a menace to
tbeir culture. Indeed we hope to be able to con·
tribute furt her to that culture of which they are
so proud. Can we actually show them that in our
comparatively young univenities and colleges, just
us earnest endeavor is in progress a' in their
venerable insti t utions?
Mr. Maurois concedes tbe point that in certain
of our colle!:es culture is caricatured, but he
hu tens to add that he would like to meet in Europe,
women as tr uly cultivated as those he met in
~ome of AmeriCII's colleges. We agree witb him
on both these points. We know t hat a certain
amount of false culture is ineYitable in a country
of America's pretensions but we are fully aware
that tbis fahe culture is not universal in our insti·
tutions. Yet we allow Europe to see only tbis
$ide with its all too conspicuous defects and Se,;%e
upon it as typically Americnn. True culture
flourishes in America and we are hiding its light,
wbile tbe leu important false culture is furnish.
ing splendid material for writing and conversation.
It is time our true cultural ideals were made
known to England and the world. It is Ull to us
Catholics to show them thllt Newmnn's definition
of a univenity is not wholly alien and inapplicable
to all American baHs of learning. Are we going
to do this-and succeed! Will our conscious en·
deavor some day, not too distant, produce some
really great example of the products of our
American culture? Or shall we continue to aHow
our "fllhe culture" to be English table talk!

"The Setonian"
Scton Hill College
Greensburg, Pa.
When "The Seton ian" arrives
on the CamllU~ the 'Critic' loses
no time in pursuing its deligbtful
pages. Said publication has al·
ways been especially lauded in
this column. The prose contribu·
tions. tbe Club Notes, the poetry,
the editorials, and t be individual
columns all participate in produc·
ing a splendid "Setonian".
In the November iSllue a humor·
ous article entitled "Advice," con·
tIIined a number of pointers some
of whicb are reproduced bere:
"If tbe telephone ringll on your
floor, let it ring. Everyone en·
jo)'ll its melodious chimes, and
then it's fun to ~ lleCulate on whom
the call may be for."
"Whenever meeting$ or assem·
biie! are called, always arrive be.
tween fifteen and twenty minutes

important you are."
"Above all don't hllve any

and wearing. Be blase and non·

No comment is neceu ary, still
- "if the cap fits wear it." Did
we bear murmurings? If $() reo

OLLEGE
In all but one month of the
year the important question that
interests girls in correct dress, of
course, is what they wear themselves.
But in this unselfish season
of Christmas, another ques_
tion about dress interests them"
What things to wear can I give!"
Or better-"Wbat things to wear
can I give that the recipients will
like!"
The answer to that question, as
I see it, is the same as what one
likes to wear oneself. The things
to give your (riend-the gloves,
hosiery, hand bags, jewelry-are
the things that will go most pleasantly
and fashionably with the
other things she wears.
Consider, first, the person to
whom the gift is given, then the
clothes with which she will wear
it.
What jewelry for Gifts!
In selecting jewelry for a gift,
I should first ask myself: "What
kind will go best with the things
she wears. Would she look best
in the Victorian necklace---quaint
in its old-fa~hionedness, but certainly
alert in fashion r ight now,
or perhaps a sparkling evening
necklace with a locket-like pendant!"
This is the sort of jewelry
I should choose for the girl who
likes her clothes formal. "Can
she wear the barbaric jewelry that
we heal' so much about-the
rather heavy, colorful necklace
that is primitive in design, but
very modern and civilized in its
appeal?" This jewelry I should
suggest for the g;rls who prefer
the informal clothes.
The kind tnat should go with
either formal or informal is a
necklace of colored beads, made
in three or four strands. Then,
too, ! might suggest pearls because
they too are correct with
formal or informal wear.
If I thought she were the type
to wear bracelets, I should send
her at least two, better three or
four, of the rigid bracelets in a
gay color. 0,. for evening, 1
should make it a point to have
the s e bracelets sparkled- the
sparklier the better.
What gloves for g;fts?
If her cout were the dress-up
kind, I should choose a four-button
slip-on. but [ would not go
wrong if I chose one of six Or
eight buttons. Either kid or
suede is good.
What hosiery for gifts?
If it were a question of what
kind of hosiel'y, I certainly shoulrl
choose the kind that would look
like a gift. I should see to it that
they were out of the ordinary. The
loveliest stockings that I could get
her should be those that are meshlike
or lacy. Not only would they
be good_looking, but they would be
exactly in fashio n. One of the
brown taupes or taupe beiges is the I
safest color because it goes with so

Father-Lynch Speaks

Appeals for Home
Missions
Not infrequently do we hear
the remark that we do not seem
to be doing as much for the home
missions as we are for the fore ign
missions; and, though this is really
not t he case, yet here comes an
excellent opportunity to show our
true sprit for the home missions.
Few of us could even look for
a minute at the appalling pictures
in the pamphlet Father Lyneh
gave us from Ponce, Porto Rico,
without experiencing a sudden
tugging at the heartstrings as if
those very baby hands had reached
out to us and hegged - for help.
Can we, without a qualm of conscience,
turn aside and refuse to
lend a helping hand to those un_
fortunate babies, perishing for
want of care and nourishmcnt?
A milk dispensary and a Children'a
Preventorium are the chief
need and it means health, happiness
and heaven for those little

many dress colors. But who wants
to be altogether safe with a Christ·
mas present?
What hand bags for gifts?
In choosing these for gifts,
should think of two things-first,
the kind of leather and then, the
shape. To go with an informal
coat. I should prefel' a hag made of
rough leather. Or if not entirely
rpugh at least trimmed with rough
leather such as ostrich or pelican.
If I wanted a forma l hand bag, I
should immediately choose a soft,
rich-looking material such as suede.
I might choose a long and narrow
one, or t he squarish type with thc
handle and I would see that the

(Continued from page five)
And just let anyone try to put
you off that davenport! You have
saved up a mood for tonight-from
the man whose cigar ashes fell all
over your stock; from the t ube that
had to be coddled and coaxcd to
work when your customers were
waiting for change or charges;
from the stock boy who dawled so,
that the woman got impatient after
you had g iven her so much of yor!f'
time, and then came back and gave
her sale to someone else; from all
the pe<>ple who mussed up your
counter, and took your time, and
then smiling sweetly said, "I was
just looking". R-r-r-r-just let
anybody suggest that you ought to
go to bed!
Well, you do go to sleep on the
davenport, and what of it? You
wake up, with the fringe of the
shawl that grandmother brought
from Ireland, in your mouth. Some·
one had thought to cover you up.
You feel mor'e kindly.
You have just awakened, but you
could sleep some more. In fact, it
will take the whole of next week to
make you feel like your self! You
sit and think with your head in
your hands. To go to bed, 01' not to
go . . . . Your eyelids sneak down;
that settles it. You rise and wend
your way upstairs. You have no
feet-from the knees down you are
numb, and it's a long, long way up
one flight of stairs.
Well, now you know how Hannibal
felt.
