As the Christmas holidays rapidly approach, many bewildered students are in a scurry trying to decide which gift to give and just who deserves one anyway.

Is the age of chivalry dead? What has happened to the knights on white horses, who would fight dragons for fair damsels? Have the white knights turned to blue and green dusters that will make nine m. p. m. while idling? Now a girl is only something to decorate an automobile—as long as she doesn’t do anything so drastic as to sit on the white leather seat covers before first carefully placing a handkerchief, so as not to mar the beautiful leather! She is nice to have about as long as she pays for her own movie ticket and has an overloaded refrigerator. How many boys do you see who open the door for a girl these days?
