WHAT IS BEHIND THE IVORY DOOR? "I expect there's a long dark passage, and an old woman just snatches you up."

A dreaming little boy, wondering what is behind the door that has been sealed for years by superstitious fears, grows up and becomes the king of the land. During all these years he has not lost his dream of going through the door. It has become almost an obsession with him; and whenever he speaks of it, all the people implore him to forget his thoughts of the ivory door and to be their good and wise and "brave" King.

But the King cannot forget his wonder. Summoning all his couraie. one day he: approaches the unapproachable, dares that most terrorizing force, the unknown. And it is in the day he is to be married to the beautiful princess.

"I wonder what does happen,' Father?"

THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1932 ANNUAL SPRING DOUBLES IN TENNIS TO BEGIN

S. S. Teacher: "Dear children, what is the last thins you must do before going to bed?"

Wise Child: "Put the door-key in the mail box for grandma."

Bride: "Before we were married Henry, you always gave me the most beautiful presents. Do you remember?"

Henry: "Sure, but my dear, did you ever hear of a fisherman feeding bait to a fish after he had caught It?" First Smarty: "Why haven't you any hair on your head?"

Second Ditto: "Grass doesn't grow on a busy street."

First Smarty: "No, it can't get up through the concrete."

Wifey (hubby's' former secretary): 'Where have you been all evening, you brute?"

Hubby: "Honestly, honey, I wasn't at the office."

"And has your baby learned to talk?"

"Why, yes! We're teaching him to keep quiet now!"

Timid Man (at lecture to talkative females): "Er-ah—I'm afraid I can't hear what is being said."

Woman: "You weren't supposed to.

This is a private conversation."

"The table manners of some rich men are not perfect," says a critic.

Yes)—many a millionaire has been born with a silver knife in his mouth."

Police Chief (to cop reading mystery story): "How's that murder story?"

Cop: "Awful! Same old bunk! They catch the murderer in the end!"

Office Manager: "I'm afraid you're ignoring our efficiency system, Mr. Jones."

Mr. Jones: "Perhaps so, sir, but someone has to get the work done.'

Smart Youth (rocking the boat): "Bet I can scare you.'

Modern Girl: "Once before a boy tried that and upset the boat."

S. Y.: "And what did you do?"

M. G.: "Oh, I swam ashore and notified the coroner."

American: "You can board a train in the State of Kentucky and twenty-four hours later still be in Kentucky."

Englishman: "Yes, we have trains like that, too."

A woman who can't remember anything has been found wandering about New York. Probably a witness.
