FIRST U. OF M. SORORITY HOUSE
Delta Gamma Has Surprised It's Sister Chapters by Acquiring
manent Abode Opened in September

terest in their daughters plans The
alnmnae members arranged a donation
party and brought their contributions and
when each of the resident girls surround
ed herself with her special treasures the
house acquired an air which is charming
and hospitable.
There are eight resident girls from diff
ferent parts of the state, and, as the Min
neapolis members take their luncheons at
the house, it is center of college life.
A chaperone lives with the girls and re-.
lieves them of all vexing questions per-
tanning to housekeeping, for the daily rou
tine of study and recitation would leave
little time for planning menus or directing
a maid.
The house was built by Professor Harry
B. Judson when he was at the university,
and has since been occupied by other
members Of the faculty until It has
achieved scholarly atmosphere which
will be maintained by the sorority. It
has ten pleasant rooms, and already there
are more girls who would like to move in
than there is place for. The parlors, low
toned in color, with a big fireplace and
many windows, prettily curtained, Is a
delightful meeting place, and at any hour
one is apt to find group of girls nesting
among the pillows Of the big davenport
or lounging before the open fire discussing
matters Of interest to the sorority or the
college.
"A reception and house-warming were
given just before college opened that the
friends Of the sorority might see how
pleasantly it was established, and there
will be other social affairs. The rushing
parties all had the sorority house for their
headquarters, and the initiates were much
impressed by the pretty surroundings.
Both the alumnae and active chapters will
hold their meetings In the parlors and
the two branches will be brought into even
closer relation. Indeed, all Of the sorority
affairs for the year seem to center around
the new home with the exception of the
big dancing party, which Is the annual
event. sar..-'
The Minnesota chapter Of Delta Gamma
received its charter in 1888. The sorority
was founded in Oxford, Miss, in 1876, and
the local chapter is one of the strongest
in the organization. It's members are all
prominent in college circles, and they will
extend charming hospitality from their
new home. - as IS

W ELLA GAMMA is the first sorority
at the university to have a
house near the campus. The
girls do not own the house

did not tell any one of their plans for ex-
changing the sorority rooms 70 a real
home of thei own, but made their ar

opened and the announcement that the
Delta Gam1nas were snugly ensconced in
the handsome residence at BIG Tenth ave-

of admiration and envy by the other sor-
critics. The fraternities have been house,
keeping near the campus almost as long
as there have been fraternities but a
sorority house is something new in college
life and something very nice and desir-

The question of a sorority home agitates
the different sororities once a year, when
it is decided, usually. the wrong way ac-

settle themselves in the one or two rooms
provided for them and try to think that

house, it would be quite satisfactory to

It is the financial problem that prevents
the other sororities from going to house
keeping. This year there are a number
of the Delta Gamma girls from out of
town and, as they would have to board
somewhere, they decided that they might
just as well board together and the ques-
ton Of the weekly housekeeping bills was
thus solved. The members of the active
chapter raised the house rent and the fur
niture was provided by the girls, their
friends and relatives. The days when the
Delta Gammas were moving in were full
of delightful surprises, for one delivery

A Woman's Complexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or gressiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or ''local" treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

In all ages men Of undoubted ability

Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought
the philosophers stone, which, strange
to say. receives some countenance
from the modern theory of allotropy.
In the study Of astrology Lilly was for
time even pensioned by parliament.
Most of these ''follies' conferred in

hold upon men and is seen in palmistry
and kindred cults.-London Standard.

hardly possible to those inside. One
of the Scotch commissioners to nego-

this realistic picture:
'Her majesty was laboring under a

agony, and on this occasion everything
about her was much in the same dis
order as about the meanest of her
subjects. Her face, which was red
and spotted, was rendered something
frightful by her negligent dress, and
the foot affected was tied up with a
pultis and some nasty bandages

mention her people of Scotland, which
she did frequently to the duke. What
