The jersey frock persists. 1t seems
to have become habit just like the
serge and linen frocks are habits.
Each spring sees the full quota Of
jersey frocks and here is an advance
hint given out by a manufacturer:
Jersey suits in sports effects are go
ing to be the popular thing for spring
street wear. The one-piece frock
made on straight simple lines is still
the most pleasing mode for every day.
This dainty and modish dress is
featured for southern and early spring
wear. 1t is made cf tan jersey with
plain gathered skirt and simple
round necked blouse. Worsted en-
broidered flowers in natural shades
are used to trim the pockets Of the
skirt. These and a buttonhole stitch
about the neck and sleeves form the
only trimming on the entire frock.
The short bell sleeves cut in kimona
style give a hint of what may be in
store for US next spring and summer.
| The wise virgins will take the hint
and start beautifying their arms, and
particularly their elbows which may
have been neglected during the long
rule OF the wrist-length tight sleeve.

Literary Society
Holds Discussion
On ~" Inforrnals

At it's regular weekly meeting held
ON wednesday evening. December II,
The Ad Altiora Literary society Of the
university debated the merits OF the
rules on informal dancing which now
govern university tnformals.
The fact tina. several too popular
girls had been barred from attending
these dances led to the discussion. g on,
and the opinion prevailed that IL the
Informal rules were not upheld. the
democracy Of the dances would be
lowered to a negligent quantity.
The various forms Of 'dancine were
brought up for discussion. and the
society volunteered assistance IN
banishing 1.-The latest creations" Of
some Of the local dancers. The So
clety held "the fact that the now
popular 'Shi1nrny: originated in the
negro dives Of Chicago. should alone
be SUFFICIENT cause for barring it from,
the college dances. and the co-opera-
tion of all university students will be
needed IL it is to be entirely banish-
cd"
In order to stimulate interest in
new and artistic dancing it was suS-
gessed at the meeting tina, a "Danc-
lag Contest" be held. The idea
seems to have originated with a sug-
gestion from one OF the faculty MEM
hers interested in the school dances
A similar contest held in Chicago's S
best society it was pointed out proved
successful. and the ambition of each
was to be the best dancer.
An excellent number of papers on
che subject were submitted at the
meeting which closed with a vote of
thanks rendered the university facul-
ty for the extra day of vacation
which was given the university stu
dents this year.

THE TREES.

When the soul knows but sorrow.
And the birth OF tomorrow
VIII bring but the : ath Of today,
Turns the soul to the trees
Moving cool in the breeze
With shadows of leaves at play.
Turns the soul 10 the trees
As they move in the breeze.
Finds rest but no gladness.
Finds rest and still sadness,
Finds rest where the breezes sigh
But the trees answer not Passions
cry.
Turns the soul to the trees.
Moving cool in the breeze,
With shadows OF leavss at plaE,
But can never find Eladness,
Forever just the still sadness,
For the soul in it's sorrow the birth
of tomorrow
Is only the death OF today.
