Fiscal Head for University.

Plans are being discussed among
members of the legislature which may
ultimately result in change in the
management of the fiscal affairs of the
University of Wisconsin, many bel1ev-
ing that the present system, that OF
perfunctory control exercised by a
board of regents, is inadequate and in
efficient, both to the institution and az
subscribing the best interests of the
state. The plan most in favor is to Sc
gregate the Institutional or purely ed
vocational side of the university from
the business or administrative side and
as much as possible relieve the presi-
dent from burdens constantly increas-
ing, of purely business character.
Up to this time there has been more
desultory talk about university affairs
than is usually to be found thus early
in the session. Members state that
there is need of practical plan which
will take from the president the ne
cessity of financial responsibility and
place it's business management in the
hands of a paid board or commission,
the duty of which shall be to run the
business affairs of the university. This
plan, as claimed by the promoters,
will place the president in position
where he can devote all his time and
attention to educational matters.

Surnlice Waist is liked.

While the surplice style of waist is
not actually new or novel, it is so uni
versally becoming to all sorts and ev-
cry type of figure that it will without
doubt remain as one of the most sta
pie styles in fashions category. The
petite woman finds a flattering length
ening her lines in the long fold that
runs broken from shoulder to waist.
Her broader and stouter sister finds
paradoxically enough-that this same
line really takes away from her too
generous girth and ebulliency of form.
The fact that this style, too, makes
for opportunity for change in the mat
ter of chemisettes is another strong
recommendation, and there is simply
no end to the clever conceits that are
afforded in this connection.

A BAD Party.


With the advent of Lent, society is
supposed to take a much-needed rest,
but in reality the hostess does just
about as much entertaining, only the
nature of the functions change from
large affairs to small and earlies."
There are innumerable sewing CO.
teries, which are usually prefaced by
a simple luncheon or followed by light
refreshments.
Here is a suggestion for a sewing
circle, and an afternoon could be spent
most pleasantly at this "bag party"
Ask each guest to bring enough
pretty cretonne or art ticking to make
a bag IL inches long by IL inches wide
when finished.
In each bag put sharpened pencil,
a pad of paper, half dozen envelopes
stamped, six postals, half dozen
plain. Numbered handkerchiefs, and a
bottle of cologne. Give these bags to
the matrons of hospitals to be distrb-
uted to patients who are unable to
provide such comforts.
A patient in a ward passes many a
lonely hour, and these bags will afford
untold pleasure.
Making a comfort" powder box is
another scheme which will afford
fascinating work for 'Lenten" circle.
Get the regulation powder boxes and
white squares of paper at a drug
store. Then write number OF pretty,
helpful quotations on these white
slips, fold like powders and fill the
boxes. On the outside mark; "Take
one at breakfast time" These will be
greatly appreciated by "shut ms" and
by the occupants of the various
homes" and institutions.
