On Friday night, January 13, Pro-
fessor Angelo Heilprin will give his
famous illustrated lecture on Mount
Pelee and the Tragedy of Martinique,
in the college auditorium. This will
be the third OF the lyceun attractions.
Prof. Heilprin is the scientist who
climbed to the very mouth OF the
crater of the volcano while it was in
eruption, and what he has to say is
reported to be OF intense interest. The
London Quarterly Review says OF
him. On the crurbling rim Of Pelee,
with bombs and boulders coursing
through the air, Prof. Heilprin stands

Two Dress Hints. .

One may sometimes redeem hand
some blouse -yhich has been accident
ally spotted by cutting out the dam
aged parts and inserting medallions Of
lace or embroidery. OF course. one
must have some taste and artistic ideas
about arranging the medallions, as
two or three places may have to be
,ut out, and the garment mus not have
q patchy appearance. One of the best
ways of fastening the skirt to shirt
waist is to have on every waist eyes
sewed about two inches apart and on
the skirt the hooks the same distance.
A piece of strong material, such as
betting, should be placed on the under
side of the waist to keep the eyes from
pulling out. The hooks on the skirt
should be set down little below the
belt. Washable hooks and eyes come
for cotton waists.
