Edwin F.. Jackie Erie county
leader, it was understood, was de-
termined on earlier action. Jackie,
it was said, planned to circulate
a petition asking for special
meeting of the State committee
at once. If 40 county chairmen
sign the petition, the meeting must
be held.
Those most anxious to see the
work of recognizing the party get
under way promptly, it was admit
ted, have no candidate to succeed
Eaton. There has been some talk
of asking Frederick C.. Bontecu,
Duchess county chairman, to take
the place.
Many Want BleakIey
Many of the Republican lead
ers, however, feel that in view of
the hard campaign he fought and
the excellent showing he made in
the election, former Justice Will
liam F. Bleakley, defeated guber-
material candidate, would make
the best choice for State chair
man.
Bleakley, it is known, does not
want the post. He expects to &C

of glacier blue, rose quartz, cop
per and cloud-gray accented with
one Tor two accessories in ruby
red or aquamarine. These gowns
will carry over into summer il
smart contrast to sun-tanned skin
Lace is Lange's next choice
but it must be fashioned along
youthful lines. 1t must have
fresh crispness and not be lazy
LANCE believes that lace does
things to the figure as no other
fabric. But there are only two
shades which he sponsors. White
in a Chantilly pattern and black
of the starched variety. All OF
Lange's lace gowns have silhou.
cite body lines to the knee and
from there flare gracefully.
Chiffon. of course, is one of his
selections. He prefers printed
patterns with small designs either
in old fashioned polka dots, tropi
cal bird patterns or stripes, blu
perfectly executed A lily of thu
valley pattern is really his favorit'
printed chiffon.
Lange's cotton. evening gowns
will be of the semibouffant type
and will be accompanied by WEI
jackets in corded or quilted cot
ton fabrics. All of the cotton'
he uses are of the heavy weav'
with almost a wooden texture
Occasionally he uses organza
but confines this fabric to gowns
of the strictly tailored type.
Lastly LANCE stresses the fac
that no smartly dressed woman
can omit a plain black crepe
gown from her wardrobe no mat
ter what season of the year. The
fabric for this "one important
gown" should be of a corded varie
ty to be in fashions newest trend

Detroiters Anticipating Gay Weekend
To Be Ushered In February q
By Delta Sigma Theta Jabberwock

The end of Feb. rs promises to
be somewhat patterned after that
of a holiday: for Tau Chapters
sixth annual Jabborwock will be
heralded by several and honored
by the presence of out-of-town
guests, including visitors from
Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincin-
natl.
Jabborwock was that mythical
humorist of the well-known tale,
'Alice in Wonderland" who called
the animals together once a year,
, to compete for a much coveted
prize. From thatmyth, Delta Sig
ma Theta Sorority chose the ira
ditional name, "Jabborwock" for
its stunt and talent night. Boston
sponsored the first Jabborwock,
which has since become an annual
event among Deltas, in cities from
coast to coast.
Tau Chapter seeks to stimulate
high scholastic endeavor on the
part of the younger group, and the
proceeds from this gigantic an
nual undertaking will be awarded
in the form of a scholarship to the
high school graduate with the
highest average, who will most
benefit from tbs assistance.
The Jabborwock is meant to
mean more than scholarship to
Detroiters; for at the same time,
it is hoped that the standard of
amateur performance may be
raised through this agency.
This year, the Detroit News, a
local daily, has consented to fur
nish theatrical and art critics for
the event, to award the prizes.
Tau Chapter is also taking
another step forward toward i'm
proving the calibre of the perfor-
nance, in that it plans to have a
preview of the acts and retain
only the best for the final perfor-
maance, Feb 20, at McCollester

corporated, under the guidance Of
