Any dress can be simplified if
it is too fusSy, by merely remov-
ing a bit of the business, and
any can be changed, unless there
is something basically peculiar
about it, by adding accessories or
a jacket. But if you want it to
be really different, you must go
right down to the dress itself, re-
moving all contrasting color, all
trimming, and start all over
again.
Flower GirdIes
This year there is a multitude
of removable and changeable &C.
cessories available. Besides jack
cts and capeS, which are the most
popular, there are all sorts Of
girdles and sashes, bouquets, hair
ornaments to match various bou-
quets or other trimmings, clips,
and so on and on.
Just day or so ago we saw a
counter devoted to gadgetry for
the evening, and some of the
things were well worth mention
ing. There were wide girdles of
small flowers, such as violets or
daisies, attached to velvet or rib
bon streamers which tie in the
back, and with some Of them were
little matching caps or hats, of
the same flowers. For roof
dancing, imagine a white organza
or organdie, full-skirted and
lovely, with a wide girdle of flow
ers, and a pert cap of the same
flowers worn well back on the
head. Lovely, and unusual!
You can find coronets or tiaras
of small flowers too, and when you
wear them, add a generous bou-
quet of the same flowers to your
dress, for just a little touch. You
can find many different types of
hair ornament made of flowers,
with bouquets to match. Some
times they alone will be enough to
add the necessary touch to your
frock.
Printed Linens
You can buy little jackets for
almost any price you want to pay,
printed linen jackets, white pique,
colored organdie, taffeta in pas
tells or bright shades, and any one
of them, over that simple white
cotton frock in your evening ward
robe, will produce an entirely diff
ferent looking costume. 1t might
be we'll worth your time and
money to buy more than one lit
tie jacket or cape, particularly if
they are inexpensive, and SO have
two or three changes.
Evening bags can be bought in
colors to match jackets or capeS,
and so you have another small
accessory to add to your ensem-
BILE. There are many lovely new
evening bags in the stores, and in
case you can't get perfect match
for a certain costume, you can al
ways have your bag dyed at the
same time your shoes are being
dyed, and so assure yourself color
harmony. Gloves in colors may
be added too-but be sure you do
not get too many matches" They
are apt to look too studied or over
done. One or two things, espe-
cially in a bright color, are quite
enough,

FRIENDSHIP RING

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Recently l received q friendship
ring. will you please tell me on
which finger the ring should be
worn? / believe that it should
be worn on the fourth finger of
the left hand. Is this correct?
"E."
There aren't any definite rules
about friendship rings and on
which finger to wear them. Often
they are worn on the small finger
But they should never be worn on
the" finger of the left hand, the
third finger (not counting the
thumb, since this might be in
terpreted as meaning that the
friendship ring is an engagement
ring.

have to learn all over again.

would be fun. though, to have party
every Friday afternoon; the Girls Fed
Grafton and the Associated Boys could
take turns to be host and hostess.
Charles Skranak: No, don't think so.
If =you once learn how to dance its
lots of fun and having more dances
gives you more chances to dance.
Frances Snyder: do not think they
are being given too often. 1t adds
greatly to the enjoyment of going to
school and to the cooperation by the
pupils.

helps the kids to overcome their self
consciousness and become better ac-
quainted with one another

Pentathlon Added to High School
Athletics

All a meeting Of the boys held Friday,
March 26, Mr. Wood brought up the
fact that the interest in track and field
events in Libby High had diminished
to almost nothing. d
For many years past we have had
good track and field teams. We have
not had winning team every year, but
we've been hard to beat There is still
competition in the sport, men to beat
and records to break; but for some rea-
son all interest is lost This was the
situation as put forth by Mr.. Wood.
Several suggestions were offered as
to how the enthusiasm and pep that
dominated in Libby High few years
ago could be revived. One suggestion
that was made was that If the sport
could be arranged so that the person
competing could compete against him
self for worthwhile prize more in
terest could be aroused.
Following this suggestion Mr.. Wood
introduced a new kind of field sport
which was Immediately accepted by the
boys present, the pentathlon. This con-
test is carried on by one Individual with
no other thing to compete against ex-
cept time and distance. A person that
is able to meet the minimum standards
in ten track and field events as set up
by the National Honorary High School
Athletic Association will be awarded a
gold medal and a life membership in
the association. AT this meeting it
was also decided that persons who were
unable to meet the athletic associa-
tons standards would be awarded a
silver medal by the school for COM
pleting the events according to the

Keith Leigh is proud of being ma
tive son, having been in Libby II years,
months, and 16 days. Gle was born
here.) Keith is a student who is well
liked by everyone. | hope he won't
blush when he reads this, but as Keith
himself says that he will be sorry to
graduate, we should be allowed to say
that we will miss him.
Next year Keith plans to work, if
he can find a job, and later on he wants
to 90 into the field of radio. He would
like to attend the r. c. A. Radio school.
II suppose it would take quite long
time to become good enough to get a
good job. That depends upon how far
want to 60 in dario, which is quite a
ways" says Keith. There are good OPP
portunities for advancement in radio.
One could become chief engineer in a
large radio station. If anyone else
wants to take up radio, want to say
right here and now that he should take
all the science courses In high school.
Keith has unique pet peeve. 1t is
to see Harry Karnes with his (Keith's)
red necktie. Keith's favorite person
was Will Rogers, because he was hui
morous and human. His favorite sport
is football. He wouldn't think of put
ting tack on anyone's chair, but can't
see anything wrong with dipping girls
hair in the inkwell Here's something
few Of you know, and that is that Keith
is very musical He must be, because
he likes smooth dance music, and says
that Horace Heidi can't be beat His
