stay in a warm country.
What to Take on the Southern
Trip.
Suppose you are one Of the lucky indi-
viduals to be going South this month.
Perhaps you are to stay at the Breakers.
or at the Royal Ponciana, big as seven
city blocks and replete with every luxury
and convenience known to civilized wonl-
an. Or. perhaps, you are still more for
tunate and will be a guest at one Of the
charming villas In the colony of the fash.
ionable folk who make the real gaicty Of
Palm Beach. In either case the burning
question is, "What must be taken along
In the way of wardrobe?''
On the journey southwark you will
wear smart little frock of worsted ma
terlal, or perhaps Of permo stuff. and
this little frock will be simply made and
suitable for constant wear on the train
and at hotels, should a stop he made
en- route. Over this travelling frock you
will wear a full length. warm coat of
fur-if yon have tor Of heavy wool ma
terial. and this warm coat will come in
for night motoring when even Palm
beach breezes are searching and chill.
1t will also be Immensely appreciated
Wnen You strike the first bitter blasts
of the North on the homeward journey.
The tailored suit Of velvet or wool IA
brio may he left at home in the ward
robe. There will be no use for it at the
summerland and it will only be crumpled
needlessly in the trunk. The winter hat
of velvet and fur may be worn with the
heavy coat as you start out. Perhaps
you will choose to come back in one Of
the charming straw hats packed in the
trunks, for by that time 1t will be Feb
ruary. and nowadays straw chapeaux are
quite en- rege in New York by FEBRUARY
18th.
Stitched Linen Hats for Summer
Wear.
The millinery displayed for Southern
wear rarely has any strikingly new feat
ures. The milliners reserve their real
surprises for the openings later on and
refuse to spoil the effect of these marvels
by any leaking out Of millinery news
ahead of time. Palm Beach hats are

conclusions. WOMAN is Il deal more fenl-
nine than she has evinced herself-by
her costume at least-for many long
year. Her frocks. her couture of little
curls. her hats and most Of all her very
feminine reticule are: proof positive.
Like everything else in dress this sea-
son the reticule is made of velvet. There
are dozens Of these velvet bags in OBJ
long. canteen. egg and heart shapes
Sometimes the frame is of silver, some-
times of gilt. but the bag always swings
on Its long cord from which it derives
Its name of cordeliere. Several Of these
bags are shown in the appended illustra-
lions. and all are examples of the best
that has been produced in this type OF
handbag. The egg-shaped bag Of Persian
embroidery is in rich, dull tones Of terra
Gotta, bronze, coral and orange. The
frame. which follows the shape of the
bag, is Of dull gilt and the cord matches
one of the .colors in the embroidery. In
the same photograph is shown a velvet
bag gathered onto a neat silver frame
and with cord handle Of silver.
The canteen bag of velvet in another
velvet, with a covered frame and silver
clasp. The lining Is of violet silk and
there are various shirred pockets for
vanity belongings, cardcase and purse.
The fourth bag is oblong in shape and
has panel Of Chinese embroidery. These
embroideries are made up into rich bags
for evening use and often the. frames
are studded with jewels. The woman
who Is having an heirloom cashmere
shawl cut up into modern evening wrap
should save the scraps and have a reticule
made Of them. Even very small pieces Of

& to swing from the arm by means

that of the whole feminine attitude to-

If Dr.. Sergeant. who has been endea vor-

From time immemorial the handbag or
reticule has been woman's poor substitute
for masculine pockets. In its restricted
space she has had to stow away oil that
man scatters comfortably throughout his
garments. Her watch. her latchkey. her
handkerchief, her money. her letters. her
bills. her memora n6um and account books
all these have been crowded into her
handbag-not to speak of various other
trifles like vanity belongings, hairpins and
samples Of dry goods for which man seems
to have no need. With this handbag full

who can afford it love to shake

Everybody has a good time at Palm

just to get away from grim old winter

recollection that at home overcoats and
furnace fires are not enough to keep out
the penetrating chill: and to motor, drive

MAKING AVIATION CAPS THE
LATEST FAD.

- HE fancy work departments in the
department stores are thronged now

crochet worsted aviation caps. Instruc-
lions are given in these departments on
all new knitting and crocheting stitches
when one makes a purchase of worsted,
and the instructors have been we'll nigh
swamped during the past few weeks with
the demands of eager applicants to learn
the new crocheting fad. Aviation caps
with rolled back brims are used for
motoring, skating and all winter out-of-
door sports. and next summer will be
worn for boating and golfng. Clever

NEW SEMESTER RESOLUTIONS

New Years Day isn't the only time
suitable for making resolutions. II
would be even more appropriate fol
students to make some resolutions
now at the beginning of the new Sc
mester. New Years Day comes too
late in the first semester to be good
time to make resolutions for study.
The resolutions of the students
should not all be directed toward por-
ing over books. Even the "E'' student
has plenty of room to make improve
ments. 1t is perfectly manifest that
an "S" or even an m" student may
be getting more out of his university
life than the one who makes "E's" all
the time.
Student career, like life itself, is
worth living because one knows that
there are always better things ahead.

SCHOLARSHIP AND WORTH.

| David Starr Jordan, president of LIE
land Stanford Junior University, writ.
ing in Science, characterizes the work
of research, as carried on in some
American universities, as useless and
foolish. Much of it, he says. is not
advanced work at all, but is elemen-
tary.
"The student of the grammar
school, he says. can count the peb-
bles in a gravel bank to see what per-
centage of them lie with the longest
axis horizontal as easily as the master
can do it. And yet" he continues,
there is no result involved in this in
vestigation.
"A graduate student of an honored
philologist in a great university late
ly explained her work to me. A chap
ter in Luther's Bible was assigned to
her, another to each of her fellows.
This was copied in longhand. and after
it, all the variant German versions of
the same chapter. Her work was to
indicate all the differences involved.
1t is probable that this professor was
at his wits end to find some task in
German which had never been accom-
plished before, and which had never oc-
Cured to any German taskmaster."
Efficiency as a worker is never ac-
by such means. 1t is
no wonder that the master student SO
often cherishes the belief that he owes
no service to mankind. Scholarship
should include worth to society; and
only that one who possesses great
learning combined with a capacity as
great for doing the work of the world |
may properly be regarded as a great
scholar.

FOR a CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL
Sunkcn Garden South of Academic
Hall Planned by II. r. Major,

SostNSU ooiuCH oOutU OF ACd0emtC
Hall Planned by II. r. Major.
II. F. Major. superintendent of the
University grounds, is planning a
series of changes for beautifying the
campus south of Academic Hall. A
sunken garden containing a pool and
surrounded by a formal garden will
be built between the driveways. 1t is
planned to have fountain at the north
end of the garden to supply the pool
with water and serve. as drinking
fountain. Concrete seats will be
placed along the sides of the garden
and attractive flowers and shrubbery
will be added.
Mr.. Major favors placing more drink
ing fountains on the campus. There
is now only the one near the power
house. This fountain will be moved
closer to Academic Hall as soon as the
grounds thraws out sufficiently for
work to be done on the pipes.

Between Semesters.

Il
Editor The Missourian: It seems
fair to suggest right now when the
heed is felt, that more time should bt
given. particularly. members Of the
faculty, between the close of the first
and the opening of the second semes
tier.
Everyone in the University, or al
least all conscientious folks, are either
right now overburdened with work, or
having their wor': out of the way,
are quite exhausted after this busy
time. The burden falls on the mem.
bers of the faculty. A member of
the University faculty put it right the
other day when he said:
81 want you to be brief with your
answers. There are 13O students in
this class, and remember that l have,
in the reading of those papers, 130
times as much work to do as any of
YOU"
Besides grading papers, faculty men
and women have, been entering up
new students. They have been COM
PEELED to keep their regular Office
hours for this purpose. to give exami-
nations, and then SIT up at night max
ing up grades.
If there must be examinations, there
certainly should be time enough so
that the additional work necessitated
could be done at seasonable hours.

MARRYING FOREIGN TITLES.

Jay Gould, the youngest son OF
George Gould, is to marry an Hawaiian
princess. The engagement will be an.
nounced at the wedding reception of
his sister, Miss Vivien Gould, to the
Baron Docies this week. And here
America marries two of her aristoc-
racy of wealth to the nobility Of other
countries.
The chief ambition of American
families, who count their wealth in the
millions, seems to be to marry into
families of titles. These people, who
have accumulated their millions under
the free institutions of America, marry
into the families of foreign monarchs,
or near-monarchs. They sell their
birthright to liberty for the pottage Of
a titular name. They desert the coun-
try that has enabled them to acquire
wealth and cater to the whims of for
eign nonenities with names that de-
note ancestors whose lives were spent
in the oppression of their people.
But few generations ago, in most
cases. these people of millions were
living in simple cottages, and their
ancestors were making a poor, per-
haps. but honest living. Fortune
smiled upon them-fortune such as
exists only in America-they became
wealthy, and assumed a first place
among the families of the land. But
alse pride-a desire to be called
they are not-causes them
o lose the patriotism for the country
which made them what they are, and
hey desert their fellow Americans for
title.

A STADIUM FOR THE UNIVERSITY

II the University is going to build
a stadium it ought to build one not
only because of the present need, but
one that will be adequate for the years
to come. The attendance at the games
increases every year. Now that the
biggest game of the year must be
played on home grounds it is neces-
sary that the seating capacity of the
bleachers here shall be greatly in
creased.
People living out of Columbia will
be hesitant about coming to the games
unless they know that there will be
plenty of room for all to be seated
comfortably and where they can see
the plays clearly. If the stadium
should be too small in two or three
years there will always be the ten
dency to make it do, and it will be
only another instance of penny wise
and pound foolish"

At last the manager of the Columbia
gas works has given out the secret
of why SO few people here use gas.
We had always thought that it was be-
cause gas sold for two dollars per
thousand cubic feet. That isn't the
reason at all. The colored cooks don't
like gas. Strange We hadn't thought
of that before.
