OPEN A BIG SHOW
CARNIVAL FOR BUILDING FUND
PROVES MOST ATTRACTIVE.
The Armory Is Fairly Transformed,
and There Are ImumerabIe Devices
for Gracefully Coaxing the Coin Into
the Golfers of the League. 81

The university girls will surely have
building Of their own on the cam |
pus, and that at no distant date, If
they continue in the same spirit which
originated and planned the carnival
given by the Woman's league this
afternoon. Miss Esther Coulter was
chairman of the committee on general
arrangements, which included Misses
Blanche Higginbotham, Irene Rad
cliffe, Helen Aldrich, Laura Gould and
Marion Jones, and for weeks they have
been busy with their plans.
The armory never presented a more
attractive picture than to-day, when,
hung with green and white, it fur
nished a background for the booths
with their pretty attendants. The
booths representing the months were
placed under the balcony in the large
hail. Miss Emily Janney presided in
the January corner, which was hung
with cotton, strewn with mica to SIM
ulate snow, and snow flakes fell from
the ceiling. The February booth, with
Miss Mildred Lauderdale, was sugges-
tive of Valentine Day, and hearts ran
riot over the appointments. Miss
Lauderdale was in a red gown, and
her assistants were all in white. Miss
Katherine McPartlin was the leading
spirit in the st. Patrick booth for
March, and Miss Lillian. Joy, with the
girls Of the Womans Magazine board,
sold the ong-anticipated magazine in
the April booth, which had a line
from Canterbury Tales" above the
entrance. Miss Sue Weir was in the
May booth, where a May pole was the
predominating feature, and the month
of roses was in charge Of Miss Ruth
| Cole. Fire crackers and red, white
and blue draperies told Of July, where
Miss Winnie Fleming, in an appropri-
ate costume, presided. Miss Maude
! Hyser was in the August booth, which
! was arranged as a veranda, with rus
| tic chairs and tables, where light re-
| freshments were served. The Septem-
