tine to teach the value Of self-confd-
ence, two literary societies were
planned.
Two leaders we're chosen from the
senior class, La Peile CriRler and Dora
f. Conner, who claimed by name the
members to belong to each society.
The election Of officers was made bJ

President, Dora Evelyn Connor.
Vice-President, Marguerite Brown.
Secretary, Pamela Yates.
Critic, Edna Cline.
Sargent at arms, Deale Binion.

Of a name, that loved name Of Jeffer-
aon Davis was suggested and at once
chosen.

old man Of Mississippi, who loved the

autumn winds she shows how

'hivers. You know cold wealth
ar is coming-albeit you have not
felt the blasts yourself-for the
reason that she wears a low
neck dress. You feel yourself
getting ready for a long cold
spell, for she wears no furs.
Lately she has adopted the Rus
sian bath-towel effect. thrown
over one shoulder, but that is be-
cause the summer still lags. AS
soon as it gets reasonably cold
she will discard that heat pro-
Queer. She is wearing shorter
skirts. For be it from her to be
caught some cold morning with
her lower limbs covered. It may
drop to the freezing point any
day now, and she wants to be
sure that the frost will not find
her smothered under long clothes.
She has furs on the top of hel
boots. She had to have fur
somewhere, and she decided thai
the shoe tops were the safest
place. Furs on the shoes will
not generate any extraordinary
amount of heat. And then again,
in case there should be any great
warmth in the fluffy leg adorn'
ment she has very properly lefl
a little space between the furs
and the lower edge of the skirt
This will give the winds a chance
and the men a subject for con
versation. She will cross hel
limbs when the opportunity
offers and that, of course, will
help things out. With a lace
waist she'll be ready for zero a
a moments notice. The youn,
