A new idea will be worked out in
the Lawrence high school this year
Whicn seems as If it might prove so
desirable and practical that the high
schools of other towns would COW If.
mere Will be dean of girls whose
DUTY it shall be to take up the
problems of the girls social life, health
conditions, the relationship of the girls
ana boys. cooperation of the parents
ana the failure of the girl in her school
work. Many other questions will also
come under her jurisdiction which
cannot be foreseen. A dean of women
is an established and accepted thing
In most universities and colleges, and
u seems as II one is as greatly needed
in high school, for there are prac-
tically as many problems to meet and
the girls are younger and presumably
less wise.
Miss Kate Riggs will have this posi-
ton at Lawrence. Aside from the
duties OF her deanship, Miss Riggs will
teach a class in ethics and a few
French classes. Miss Riggs is a good
mixer and will fit into the life of the
girls as few women could. She al
ready has plans for a number of big
social affairs.

On entering "rhe Partisan" the new
women's clothing shop of Topeka. the
first impression you receive Is of quiet
ness and grayness and beauty. The
shop is most attractively finished in
circassian walnut and the rugs are of
a subdued taupe. The saleswomen
wore frocks of a similar shade. Fri
day was their opening day and the
