AND NOW-THE MELTING POT! Ml WITH the traversing of four long books from cover to cover, we now approach the bizarre-the unusual-the uncon- ventional. Rouse yourself; resume the march; the last leg of our journey appears. Review your life! Peer into your hidden past! Are you spot- less as the lily? can you approach the Melting Pot with the calm assurance of a blameless life? If not, be sure your sins will find you out. If you are afflicted with a camouflage of false modesty be prepared to shed it now, for in the crucible will be found the naked truth; life stripped of dark deception; fact in all it's bare- ness! There are melting pots large and small; melting pots narrow and wide; melting pots round and square; melting pots galore, in boundless profusion; from Life's great mixer to the chemist's frail disolver. But greater than even these is-the Melting Pot! Into this great vessel is thrown, haphazardly, without fear of consequences nor thought of result: choice bits of scandal, rich, rare, racy; follies of an idle moment, frivolous, feather-brain- ed; secrets of the elect, dark and mysterious; the naked truth, stripped of all pretence, yet unashamed; snappy stories; anec- dotes, wild tales, whisperings, gossip, etc., etc., ad infinitum! Gentle reader-in this, the fifth and last book of the Acorn, we have endeavored to place before you a fitting climax to our publication; something new, unique, amusing, and yet withal, in perfect accord with Weber's ideals. As to our success or failure-you must be the judge. And now to dip deeply into the Melting Pot and draw there- from Humor, Mirth and Jollity!
