Roll Call in Congress

There is no requirement that the
roll be called at the beginning Of
each days session in either house
of congress. 1t is called at the
opening of the term to ascertain
whether all the states are repre-
scented, and a roll call is directed
by the speaker of the house or the
president of the senate before an
action requiring a two-thirds vote.
For the rest of the time a roll
call may be had whenever any
member cares to raise the point
of no quorum, if substantial mi
nority supports his request. 1t re-
quires 35 minutes to call the roll
in the house; in the senate, consid-
erably less time.

Andersen's Fairy Tales

One hundred years ago there
was published in Copenhagen a
pamphlet, badly printed on poor
paper and bound between thin
blue paper covers. Its author and
publisher were faint hearted
about the enterprise. Thus did the
first series of Hans Christian An
dersen's Fairy Tales appear.
Hans Andersen, as he is known
in Denmark, was one of the found
ers of modern Danish. He intro
duced Danish language into Dan
ish prose, and before his death
Denmark credited his name with
national holiday in honor of his
birth.

Dress Designers in Paris

All designers of note in Paris
are by no means French. In Par

whose names have made fashion
history-the Place Vendome, the
Rue de la Paix, and the streets
that criss-cross them. In these
streets are nondescript four and
five story gray stone buildings,
but they carry over their door
ways magic names Molyneux,
Chanel, Lanvin, Schiaparelli, VII
