Jane Pratt Bayley, who came here last week from Springfield, Ohio, wants the mumps—but not for herself. Here is how the matter stands: Jane is extremely fond of Chapel Hill. She has been yearning for it ever since she left. With her from Ohio came 7-year-old Eldon Bailey Jr. Joe Pratt has the mumps. Jane thinks it would be an excellent thing if Eldon would catch them from Joe, and have a long siege in quarantine, since this would prolong indefinitely her visit here.
