Women's College Notes

W SaAsSia . S|oAsGSS lSotSS
Last week was most delightful
one at the Women's College of
Delaware. The enjoyable things
began Monday in chapel period.
Then the College was greatly
hcnored by having the beautiful
poster "Delaware Awake!" pre-
scented to it By the Woman's Lib
etry Loan Committee Of Delaware.
The picture gained special signif-
canoe by having the artist, Ethel
PenneWell Brown, explain the
/ symbolism. The painting shows
girl rOusing from sleep, her face
glowing with the inspiration Of a
vision Of service. Her dress is
blue and her loose hair is gold,
combining the State colors. At her
throat is a blue diamond pin, for
the Diamond State" and one hand
toys with peach blossoms, the State
flower. In the morning mists Of
the background is the shadowy
outline of the State, with the prin-
cipal towns and streams marked.
Below is the fighting cock, the
famous Blue Hens Chicken" and
the seal of the State. The legend
reads The liberty Of the world is
at stake. Buy more Bonds"
Mrs. holland, chairman of the
Women's Committee told Of the
work the women of the State had
done. She said that all the WO-
men of the Committee united IN
giving the poster to the Women's
College, and that the gift breathed
the prayer that all the women of
the State may be awake to their
duty to their State, Country, and
God. Miss LaMotte explained the
work of the artists in making post
ers to aid the Women's Committee
in the sale Of Bonds.
From Liberty Bonds to COnser-
walton is an easy step, and Tues
day morning that topic was treat
ed in chapel. Miss Comstock, a
graduate of the University Of Cor
nell, who is the State representa-
tive on the government campaign
for the use of cottage cheese spoke
on "How and Why to Use Cottage
Cheese" She said that millions of
gallons of skim milk are wasted,
and that this waste might be con-
verted into food by making it into
cottage cheese. More cottage
cheese should be made and used,
not asa relish but as a meat sub
stitute. The use of cottage
cheese has not only an economic.
but a patriotic value. After her
talk, Miss Comstock distributed
bulletins on the use of cottage
cheese.
Wednesday the patriotic pro-
gram turned to the Red Cross,
when the monthly meeting OF the
organization was held. AS the en-
: tire student body belongs to the
Red Cross, chapel period had to
he taken for it. An especially IN
teresting feature was the presenta-
tion of a Red Cross flag from the
! Newark Chapter. Mrs. Evans pre-
, sented it. Miss Beckett received
, if in the name of the society. MISS
Paulina Smith gave a reading, and
, Miss Long read very interest
/ ing letter from Belgium.
Saturday afternoon the Fresh
man class entertained the College
at a Fete of the Allied Nations,
given in the grove of the Reo
Mems Home. The faculty wives
: were also the guests. The fete was
beautiful in it's setting and cos
tune. The credit for the charm.
ing dances must be given to MISS
| Charlotte Easily, who coacneo
them. After the dancing, punch
and waters were served.
Saturday evening was oper
