TIMELY WORDS
ON PROPER
ETIQUETTE
1t Would Be Polite
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:


While away at school last
1all became acquainted with
one OF the boys from my frater-
nifty. We became good friends.
His sister used to send him
candy an fruits and things,
apd 1 often wrote P. s. TO
Jimmy'S letters thanking her
for the candy and so forth.
Last week when returning
home from school 1 had a
l2-hour stopover in Jimmys
home city, so I went to see the
family and received a wonder
full welcome.
His sister was very at
tracTive girl and quite diff
ferent from the usual kind,
She was a marvellous hostess
and we became good friends.
Now, Of course, as soon as
l arrived home l wrote a letter
OF thanks to the family. I
want you tc tell me if it would
be all right to write to her.
1 didn't ask If I could, so, of
course, I am puzzled.
1 write to her brother.
Should : ask him to ask her
II I may write? JACK.
Well. Jack, it's quite case"
isn't it? I haven't the heart
to tell you that it wouldn't be
proper for you to write to her.
Now, wait a minute, Jack-it
would be perfectly proper for
you to write to her. Since you
have done your polite duty in
writing her mother your bread
and butter" letter, l am sure
that the young lady would love
TO have a letter from you. Per
haps the first one had better
be a note" beginning in
formally, Dear Miss-or what
ever you call her:
viii you permit me to write
you to tell you what a thor
oughly delightful time I had
at your home when stopped
over for that happy twelve-hour
train recess 1t gave me great
pleasure at last to meet Jim.
my'S sister and to know the
generous donor of all the fruit
and candy and other good
things that made us so happy
at school last year. Thank you
most heartily again for all your
kindnesseS of last year and for
your kind hospitality and
friendlfneSs the other day"
How is that for a start,
Jack? She couldn't object to
that, and you can. change 1t
to suit your personality and
wishes, and then add-well, you
know.

son. for fashions do not jump
to conclusions, but evolve slowly
and surely.
After a careful count we can
say that coats are decidedly
longer for winter. Most women
are wearing them two or three
inches below the knee. and
many coats that look like they
have been bought recently are
four or five inches below the
knee. That means that spring
coats will start about four
inches below the knee as a
shortest point, and extend to
six or more. In other words,
street coats will come down we'll
over the largest part of the
calf Sports coats will be
shorter. according to the degree
of their informality.
Another reason for the pre-
dlction that coats will be down
to the mid-calf is that they
must cover dresses, and that's
the dress length for spring. For
formal wear, coats may cover
me dress or be a few inches
shorter than the hemline. as
the dress will probably be about
ten inches from the floor. This
is especially permissible If the
hemline Of the dress is not
even. Of course every length
must be determined by the
figure of the wearer and the
cut of the coat. as we'll as by
the occasion for which it is
worn.
Nearly all spring coats will
have an even hemline. The
only exception is the very
formal afternoon coat, which
may dip in the back, and is
worn with dress that has a
corresponding dip.
Many ensemble coats are
three-quarter and Seven-eighthS
length, and are smart when the
dress or skirt is of the same
fabric as the coat. II you buy
an ensemble expecting to wear
the coat with other things, how
ever, it is we'll to choose one
with a full length coat, as a
shorter coat will not look we'll
with other dresses or skirts for
street wear.
New undergarments that re-
place cOrsetS will be described
tomorrow. Miss La Vile will
gladly answer any question
about these articles, or about
fashion, If you will write and

declared ineligible for further play
this season by the faculty eligibility
committee which denied his request
for a makeup examination that
might have enabled him to remain
with the varsity.
All athletes must be passing in Il

was not up to this standard. Usually
petitions to take condition examina-
tions are allowed by the faculty cons
mittee but refusal in his q is seen
as another step toward more Strin-
gent eligibility requirements for ath-
letes at the university. Following
closely on the heels Of announcement
that six freshmen stars were dropped
from school. this last Jolt. has aroused
other athletes to burn midnight oil
on scholastic work formerly neglected.
Storeim will be eligible for all
sports next year by passing is hours

is a hindrance to Coach Glenn Leticll

However, Storeim's absence may not
prove to be * alarming as it might

this is found in the unexpected effec-

into the Morningside game Friday for
20 minutes with startling results.
Felber has twice Storeim's agrees

advantage battling for the ball. Under

plicate the dope to no small extent,
