COLLEGE HOUSING
 SITUATION KEEN
Storrs Condition Should Brighten Somebody
 Says Issue

Storrs, Nov. 1.-The fire that re- gently swept through the Alpha Phi fraternity house in the early morn ing, causing l7 young men to slide down sheets tied to beds and ropes and jump into blankets "has thrown into red relief Q situation that should frighten somebody" says the Connecticut Alumnus, monthly pub- llshed for the alumni of Connecticut State College.
 The housing situation ct the col- lege has been a problem to the col- lege authorities for the last few years and has become increasingly worse as the student enrolment gains.
 "We feel" says the Connecticut Campus, "that the college in ad- mitting students is morally obligat- cd to insure their safety, and that in the last analysis the state Of Connecticut has deepest responsi- bility.
 we think someone should be frightened enough about the hous- ing situation ct the State College to do something about 1t.
 Alumni, loud:y and always - to their representatives in the legis- lature and wherever their influence may be felt--should demand the dormitories and other housing fa- cilit!es which are so alarmingly needed at the State College"
 A survey of the buildings ct the college was recently started by h. spector Frank A. starkel of the State Police Department and AL bert J. Bennett, construction adviser to the Board of Finance and Con- trol. Inspector starkel said Thurs day night another tour of inspec- ton is to be made in e few days after which e report with recom- mendations will be given to the board of trustees of the college.
 Students living in the fraternity houses sleep on the third floor oi the building, using the lower floors as living and recreation quarters The crowding of the students inte the third floor has been criticized as dangerous since the fire at the Alpha Phi fraternity house fire.

When you can make Christmas
tree ornaments as cunning as
these on this page of course you
will want to make them yourself.
They are so easy to do, such fun
to fashion, and so little in cost,
that you will want to make guam
titles of them for your tree. They
are all made of small pieces Of
crepe paper and other novel bits
of materials, and they are as nice
for table favorS as for tree orna-
ments. Ready-made Christmas
tree ornaments are often quite an
expensive item, and these will be
barely fraction of the cost, and
they are novel and colorful be-
sides.
The petaled rosette in the
upper left-hand corner is simply
a red crepe paper ruffle, cut 3
inches wide and II inches long,
pointed along both sides and
gathered over a piece of wire.
Two silver gummed stars hold it
together.
The two angel dolls have sour
candy balls for heads, wrapped
with a piece of clear cellophane

wide, which also form the wings

Beauty
A Girls First
Permanent
BY DONNA GRACE

The first permanent always is
most important event in the
life of any young girl. She feels
she has reached more grown-up
age when she is permitted to in
dulge in the same beauty rites
as her mother and big sisters
enjoy.
We know there are a few very
young persons who may indulge
in permanents soon after they be-
gin to walk but we hope these
will always be the exceptional
cases.
A child at the age of has
soft baby hair with an appealing
beauty of its own, whether it is
straight or curly, and should sim
ply be kept clean and nicely
brushed.
The girl of IA or 16 will not
be put off when it comes to hav-
ing a permanent. She has been
looking forward to this diStinc-
tion for years, so she thinks, and
will not be satisfied until she has
one. They should not be harmful
to any girl of this age, provided
she continues to comb and brush
her hair as carefully as she did
before the permanent.
Some girls seem to think once
they have a permanent the hair
will not need any attention, ex-
cept to push the wave in place.
They even expect the wave to be
Self-setting.
Your permanents will be lovely
and give you the joy and satiSfac-

FLOWERS

If you are searching for an eco

flowers or, at this season of the
year, berries or leaves, try arrang-
ing them in round glass bowls, ad'
vises Good Housekeeping Studio.
These bowls come Singly or in
groups and for little or no money
may be filled with a bit of green
or color, and tiny punches Of
flowers tastily arranged in the
bowls can do a great deal to give
your house a delightful look of
warmth and welcome. A large
glass bowl about nine inches high,
to hold larger flowers, can be used
effectively on a small stand In a

In spite OF the rush that the
stores have had to meet for days
and weeks, they still have marvel
Gus things to offer. One store
alone that 1 shopped in just day
or so ago had complete line Of
watches, bracelets, rings and sill
yer dresser sets.
They also had some lovely pyra-
lin dresser sets, and travelling
cases, fitted with pyralin or silver
toilet articles. These cases, as you
know, have zipperS that close
them completely, and they have
everything in them that you could
possibly want, from nail file to
bottles of lotions and creams.
A Gift of Silver
Sterling dresser sets make stun
ming gifts, and they are the sort
Of thing that practically last for
ever, and that can take place with
table silver as an heirloom. Men
who can afford a really nice gift
should look at them. Some, In
fact, are not so expensive. One
store showed me some as low
priced as $14.95, and they were
really beautiful.
We've had two sets photo
graphed, displayed ready for your
selection. On the left is three
piece set, comb, brush and mirror,
with graceful shape, striped de-
sign with place for an engraved
monogram. For a woman who
keeps most of things in vanity
drawers, who doesn't have many
bottles on her dresser, these three
pieces are sufficient.
Complete Set
A resplendent 10-piece sterling
silver set is shown in the big box,
and it is really a gift for a queen.
It has everything from powder
box and perfume bottle with
dropper, to nail file and shoe
horn. The design is somewhat
similar to that on the smaller set,
with striped effect and a place
for monogramming.
If you can't afford silver, there
are perfectly beautiful pyralin
sets, in pastels or deeper colors,
and in various unusual designs.
They are rich looking, yet they
run into less money than the sill
yer sets. Any woman would con-
slider herself lucky to have either
q dresser set or a travelling case,
nicely fitted with silver or pyralin,
whichever you can afford.

not this was what 1 should

Only to send a card after you
return home, in recognition and
appreciation of these most
friendly calls on you in your
home town, seems to me a fairly
bleak and ungracious way of ac-
knowledging such warm-hearted

these visits in a too-caSual and
objective manner. You should, I
believe, make some plan that will
give you an opportunity of show
ing your gratitude for such kind.
ness on the part of your old
friends.
If you are sure that you really
cannot take the time to return
these visits, you could, am sure,
find time to telephone your
thanks and have a bit of a visit
by telephone. Or, best of all,
couldn't you plan to give one in
elusive party for these friends?
For instance, why not set aside
one afternoon toward the middle
of your visit, to give a tea or a
cocktail party for them?
You could write your invita-
tions on your visiting cards or as
notes, or telephone the invita-
tionS. And you could give the
party in the home at which you
are staying, or, if this is not con-
venient, in the tea-room of a
local hotel. This would take very
little time; it would be inexpen-
sive; and you would show your
self a gracious hostess and an
