Avoiding little extravagances means

Perfumes are an expensive luxury and
to make lavish use of them is not good

concert and theater party come under the
head of necessities. To deny oneself
everything is to sap life of all its joys

of underwear. II is sold now in pink,
blue and white. II is all trimmed with
lace, some Of it elaborately.
Crepe dc chine pctticoats are ideal be
cause Of their light weight and clinging
softness. They are generally finished
at the bottom with 4 pleated founce of
wide lace. Some of them show an inser-
ton Of lace five or six inches wide and
a hem of the crepe below the insertion.
The more elaborate petticoats are trim

tiny artificial flowers.
Some Of the combinations and chemises
OF crepe de chine are simply made, and
these are especially serviceable. For the
woman who is travelling they are a boon
indeed, for they can be worn without
ironing. Hung up damp, their own weight
smooths them from wrinkles.

The board, according 10 an announce
mcnt made today, at its last meeting
adopted an amendment to the institu-
tons statutes which would prevent such

One of the most radical changes pro
vides that n professor or assistant pro-
fcssor shall be removed only after con-
sultation with the faculty. 1t Is further
more provided by the amendment that in
cases of rcappOintment of member OF
the faculty written notice must be served
within specified time. BY this pro-
vision faculty members will be automat-
ically informed of pending changes.
Accompanying the announcement OF the
amendment adopted by the trustees,
statement was given out from Provost
Smith, in which he said;

The amendment covers the entire field
of appointment, reappointment, promo
ton, tenure of office and removal of
members of the University's teaching
staff 1t provides that there shall be four
grades in the faculty-professor, as
sistant professor, instructor and asss-
tant. Professors are to be appointed for
an indefinite term. An assistant pro-
fessor will receive first appointment
for five years; reappontments also to be
for terms of five years. Instructors and
assistants will be appointed for one year.

It Is furthermore provided that In ex-
