mild and the fall sown wneat was not
damaged in the least from frost.
Horseflesh commands good figures.

THE FASHION SHOW
PROVED A SUCCESS
EXHIBITION STAGED BY HOME
ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT AT
UNIVERSITY WAS GOOD.

The fashion show staged last night
by the home economics department OF
the university was attended by more
than 500 people and from every
standpoint was highly successful.
Fifty university girls took part in
the affair and depicted correct cos
tunes for all occasions. The points of
part one of the show, setting forth
the rules of correct costume, such as
structure, line and color were well de-
fined and illustrated by the models.
The choice of music, admirable
throughout, was especially happy in
the second part of the show, the Sc
lections being unique and unusually
appropriate in every instance.
Too much credit cannot be given
Mrs. Marion Gregory and her COM
mittee which had charge of the set
tings for part two which in combina-
tion with the decorations arrange by
the art department, made charming
setting for the youthful models and
smart costumes.
A number of the dresses used in
both part one and two were made by
classes in the home economics depart
ment and only the fact that this early
in the term many of the more elabor-
ate frocks are not completed pre-
vented wider display of these.
The generous cooperation OF the
faculty and university students helped
to make the first univer-
sity fashion show unique event IN

were loaned by the Fashion Shop,
