Bridegroom's Obligations to Best
Dear Mrs. Post: Does the groom

Answer: Hotel expenses, yes.
Transportation, no. 1t is possible
that a groom who is very well off
and whose best friend lives at a
great distance may invite this
friend to come to the wedding as
his guest and send him his COM
plete transportation. But this is
very unusual.
Early Evening Wedding Reception

Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
proper food TO serve at a wedding

Answer: This would depend upon
the evening meal hour in the COM

at six. then half past seven (which
is half an hour after the ceremony

Beauty Routine Is
Fine Time SaUer

No woman In the world appreci-
ates two-in-one beauty routines
more than the average film star.
She has almost no free time when
actually making picture, OF
course. And between pictures,
she's so busy trying to catch up
with her social life that you
couldn't hire her TO take a day off
a week for elaborate treatments
from head to foot.

appearance Is all-important. In
spite of a lack of time to spare
she must keep her skin. hair,

~. Generally speaking. two-in-one.
and even three-in-one beauty rou-
tines are the answer.
Chew for Exercise
For instance, while under the
drier tshe has her hair washed
and waved twice week.. she
does facial exercises via the gum
chewing method and applies as
much softening oil or cream as
her skin will absorb. In a booth
by herself with curtains drawn,
she chews not one stick of gum at
time but two or three-some-
times four.
BY the time her hair Is dry her
jaw is tired, but the muscles Of
her throat and face have received
the proper amount of exercise to
keep their contours firm and to
eliminate small expression lines.
The first thing the average mo-
ton picture star does when she
arrives for her shampoo appoint

throat. Then some kind of mask
or pack Is left on while her hair is
being brushed, washed and set.
Afterward. the pack il rinsed off

while chiffon and taffeta are def

Cape Trick
As for your wrap. the detach-
able cape trick goes as well for
wraps as for dress coats.
A black velvet full length wrap
with a detachable white fur cape
will see you through from early
autumn till Glass Day-first the
cape alone, then the wrap alone
then both. and back again.
Second term. Unless you take
a notion to buy more evening
things with your Christmas money
all you really need is fur coat
The fur coat should be
sportish.
Your furred coat will be warm
enough for your dates, because
even a college boy will shell out
for taxi fare rather than ask you
to do an East Lynne through
the snow.
So have your coat sports fur
and get it sports length and swag-
ger so it won't get sat out.

HJC Boys Lose; Girls Split
With Moorheod Cogers

The Holmes boys quintet lost both
games played on the Trojans' Court
on January 1914, the scores being
32 to Is and % to %.
In their first game the boys were
slow in getting started; the second
game was one of those thrillers il
which one never knows who will win
until the last whistle blows. This
game was similar to the one against
Wesson in the tournament last year,
IL you remember back that far.
In the girls game the two teams
were just about evenly matched. On
Friday night, our sextette came out
victorious, the score 81 to 26, and
were defeated on Saturday night.

High Society" Rates
At H. J. c.

one of the most enjoyable enter
tainments presented this year was
the four act comedy High Society"
which was given by the International
Relations Club under the direction
OF MIR. Billie Montague, on Wednesday
evening, January Is, at 7:30.
Louise Counts and Ralph Allen
as Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, owners of the
boarding house, presented an inter
esung and humorous angle of domes-
tic unhappiness. Vicente Howard
the deaf Mrs. Beman. furnished plen-
ty of laughs, as did the maidenlv
Miss McGillicuddy, played by Mary
Franklin Moore, and Kettle. the hired
girl, played by Sara MCGOWAN. Ralph
Dorrah stormed these two lonesome
hearts when he appeared on the scene
as the Duke of Sussex.
Wilbur Bullock. as Bill, the boarder,
complicated an already complicated
situation because he too loved Mary
Ann Smith, in the person of Emma
Lee Sturdivant; and this young lady
had met her Romeo Mortimer Throt-
ueoutton, the role played by Billie
Meadows. Ned Williams and Grace
Powell, the dignified Mr.. and Mrs
Ihrottiebutton, played highly enter
tanning parts.
Music was furnished between acts
by Miss Martha Elmore.
Proceeds from the play viii go to
pay expenses for a Holmes Junior
College delegate to the International
Relations Club convention to be held
in Virginia sometime in March.

Club Has Good Term

The International Relations Club
has had a very successful half-year
The club, which formerly met every
Tuesday night, now meets only twice
supervision of Mr.. Billie Montague,
the club has had many interesting
programs concerning international af-
fairs, The main issue before the
club. that of obtaining a sum of
money sufficient to send delegates
to the Virginia convention, has been
partly taken care of by the play
presented January IS.
The club hopes to present later in
the year, THE Grits and Gravy Va
riety Hour" which received such en-
thusiastic response last year. This
program originated with the club and
will probably become an annual event.
The International Ilelarions Club
extends an invitation to the fresh
men to become members. A student
must have six hours of social science
and make an average of B on his
work in history to be eligible. It is
hoped that a number of freshmen
will join to carry on the club next
year.
