 While telling you Chapter news want you to know of something Jos eph Elliott of Abingdon did for the society this summer, and that is the gift from him of the thirty-foot flag pole, which he had painted and put up for them at the Wolf Den.

Fashion deerees that whatever the inspiration, it is an accepted and es- tablished fact that the waistline IS at the hiplne This fashion IS divided into two parts. One part shows the monastie girdle drawn about the hips without pulling in the cloth; the eth- CT part shows an ornamental girdle tightening the hips and holding the cloth in full folds above it. Both fashions are in full swing.
 Valiant attempts have been made to reinstate the defined waistline in it's proper place, but each attempt has failed to get general acceptance. So the struggle appears to be over, at least for this season.
