First Year
Goods to Be
Entertained

Fall leaf invitations have been
sent 225 freshmen women at Butler
university for a "sing in the woods
affair sponsored by Chimes, junior
honorary organization for women at
the university, in their honor.
The party, an annual affair, is
for the purpose Of welcoming all
freshmen women to the school and
acquainting them with the ideals
and activities of the university. The
organization acts as voucher to the
freshman class.
Mrs. Edna M. Christian, social di-
rector of the university, will be guest
of honor. Miss Helen Louise Lang
ston, president, personally will well
come each freshman girl.
The program will consist of 1.-THE
Bells of st. Mary's," sung by the
Girls Glee Club; Chimes Tradi-
tions," a talk by Miss Florence
Rem, and a solo, Indian Love
Song" by Miss Geraldine Kuntz.
Members of Chimes who will as
siSt Miss Langston are Misses Hope
Willicutts, vice-president; Evelyn
Bentley, secretary; Virginia Good
win, treasurer; Geraldine Kuntz,
Ann Arnold, Mary Helen Dunning-
ton and Isabelle Campbell.

in the party r not wearing din
ner or evening clothes.
We said these dresses aren't
formal ones. Nevertheless they
can be very formal-if you wear
them in the late afternoon. And
it's quite correct to year them
then, if you are going to a formal
reception or a very formal tea.
Heavy sheer or semi-sheer fab
RIGS r the best for dresses like
these.
Dark, bright colors are the thing
dark bright blues, green's and
reds-and, OF course, blacks and
browns. Often you'll find a bit of
color contrast in the girdle or sash
or belt.
Not so often the same kind of
sharp contrast that you find in day
time dresses or evening crowns. But
the use of another tone of the dress
color-as a lighter green twisted
into the dark green girdle.
On blacks and browns, though,
sharp contrast is effective and the
Persian reds and green's make some
of the smartest combinations.
Beading is an idea that's being
revived to trim some of these COW
cred shoulder supper dresses. The
beading is usually done in yoke
motifs and in colors to blend with
the dress color.

SMART FOR SCHOOL WEAR
This extremely smart dress will
be appreciated by the school girl
because of it's extreme newness.
Don't you think the bolero effect

Want to Be Tied, Yet Free
Men r as domestic as cats. They
adore the physical comforts of home
and family. The truth is that they
want to be free and tied all at the
same time. When they need a
sympathetic listener to their pet
ideas and a woman to tell them
how perfectly marvellous they are,
then they want to be tied! But
when they are seized with a curl
oSity about the South Pole or what
kind of dust is on the bottom of
the ocean, then they want to be
free!

dental and not the chief end of life.
It irritates him that women ex-
pect him to sink his personality in
theirs. They can not be lovers all
the time and when they discover
that their wives expect them to
make a sort of perpetual honey
moon out of marriage, they advise
their bachelor friends never to get
themselves into a mess like that!
Men know by now that marriage
is no bed of roses and that they
seldom get as much as they expect,

MANIFESTATION
JANE JORDAN Lpl

Letters to Jane Jordan will be
answered just as soon as she has
time to study the needs of the
people who write them. Enclose a
self addressed stamped envelope
if you want a personal reply.
JANE JORDAN-I am a bachelor who
really has enjoyed his single blessedness.
Every now and then I wonder if I have
missed something grand by not getting
married. and ask my friends what they
think about it. The women unanimously
advise me to get married, but without
exception the men advise me against
it. How do you account for this diff
ference in viewpoints?
DOUBTING THOMAS.
DOUBTING THOMAS--Of course
women advise you to get married!
Matrimony is the universal bust
ness for women. For years it was
the only business in which they
were permitted to engage. If a
woman couldn't snag a husband, she
was a lost soul.
Was anything more pitiful than
the maiden aunt of yesterday? She
barely was tolerated in the house
holds where she did all the drudgery
for her room and board, and wore
the caSt-of clothes of relatives.
This situation created a preference
for matrimony in the minds of
women which is easy to understand.
Today there is a place in the bust
ness of the world for the unmar-
ried woman and "old maid" no
longer is the term of a%pporbrium
that it once was. Nevertheless, mar
ried women still cherish a feeling
Of superiority toward their unmar-
ried sisters which is CALLING to the
woman without benefit of clergy.
They exclude her from their con-
versations about husbands and chill
dreh and dismiss her opinions as of
no avail. What does she know about
anything? She's never been mar
ried?
Men Make 1t Worse
Men help to make the position of
the unmarried women undesirable
by their condescending attitude
toward her. "Such a nice woman!
Pity she's never been married." Men
prefer a dashing widow, grass or
sod, to a bachelor girl past 30.
All these factors, added to the
fact that marriage is an economic
necessity to many, combine to make
marriage seem highly desirable to
most women. If they can marry
their ideal in a gale of romance,
so much the better, but if they
can't, they will marry anything. It's
being married that's important
Therefore it is not strange that they
advise a bachelor to hot foot it to
the altar!
On the other hand, men who adj
wise you not to get married are
frightfully insincere. Do they take
their own advice, I ask you? They
grippe f~earfully about giving up their
freedom, but what happens when
they get it back by death or divorce?
Dc they stretch their wings ano

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Who
knows? Maybe calling cards
soon again will bear that old-fash-
Toned legend-"At Home, Second
Tuesdays"-and a silver plate be
left by the door to receive the cards
of visitors.
Surely entertaining at home is
becoming more and more fashion,
able. More little dinners given in
ones own dining room instead of at
the club.
More evenings spent with a few
c%ongenial friends invited in for
bridge, instead of at the movies.
Supper Dresses in Vogue
That's why women are having
more dresses of dress-up type-dis-
tinctly different from the kind they
wear all day long, but not a really
formal evening gown. The kind you
know by the name of supper dress
Because these are dress-up dresses
they're ankle length and usually do
not have long sleeves. But because
they aren't strictly formal dresses,
they do have some covering over
the shoulders.
They have tiny puff sleeves, or
little epaulet sleeves or some sort
of capelet or scarf arrangement
that comes down over the top of
the shoulder.
Smart for Restaurant
They are quite correct for din
ner year in a restaurant, too, or
those occasions when your escort
does not wear his dinner clothes.
In fact, they're correct on any
evening occasion when the men
