FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA
SCORES KING TUT STYLE
A WELL DESERVED HONOR FOR OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT
Urges Americans to Patronize Americans. Mr. I.o>n Winslow in his speech on "Interior! Decoration" in the auditorium May 22, said that lie thought it disgusting the way women pave followed out in their dress the designs discovered in the tomb of King Tut. He also stated! that this was started by people desirous of making money, and that America could produce designs of far more beauty and of better technique. Americans will not patronize the .American designers. \\ lien the designers of America rebeive as much money a- the laborers who carelessly place the design on the object to be sold, then will America gel ahead in the Art line. Fashion magazines, published at about the same time the King Tut styles, and style taken from tin- western part of the United States. The style of an Egyptian who lived thousands of years ago survived while that designed after the "American Cow Boy" ]>erished in America. In Paris, they wear the designs taken from America, while we go to Egypt for ours. Let America be American. If fashion requires variation, why not resort to the American Indian-these woidd be mure fitting and beautiful than the designs taken from dead mummies.
Some years ago, Thomas Nelson Page was asked what he considered the highest honor in me literary world, and he unhesitatingly replied: "Membership in Phi Beta Kappa." President J. I.. Jarman has recently been elected to membership in Beta (University of Virginia) Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, 'Ibis honor comes as a recognition on the part of his Alma Mater of the wonderful service he has rendered to the cause of education in Virginia during the years of his administration here and we who know him. realize how well he deserves such recognition and offer him our warm congratulations. What's the matter with Jarman? lie's all right! What's the matter with Jarman? For him we'll fight! We're very fond of the Faculty, But J. L. J. is the man for me— What's the matter with Jarman ?

TAKES TRIP TO FLORIDA Willie Bellamy Conducts Interesting Tour.
The coming to womanhood means many things, hut always these dreaming, longing, loving. The girl is a dreamer of many dreams, not selfish ones. Now she i- feeling a new power, the power of the group—her dreams and air castles include others. And who can say that many of the first thoughts and ideals havenot come as a result of castle building. A .sympathetic imagination is one of life's most valuable assets. If girls long only for their own pleasure and happiness, if the dreamings and longings are selfish, the girls are not the ones to blame, hut the older persons who have heen molding their lives. It is natural at this age for girls to want to do something really worth while—to do something for some one else. I have seen this desire for service find expression in visiting and singing to the aged; in making scrap hooks for the sick, and in many other ways. If this desire for self-expression does not find a wholesome channel into which to flow, it will undoubtedly find other avenues of escape, for express herself the girl of today must. The same is true of loving—the girl at this age must love somebody or something, and fortunate is the girl who lavishes this great gift upon the right kind of person, or better still, the right kind of persons. The intimate and lasting friendships of this age are among the most precious possession- of later years. Here. too. the social or gregarious instinct shows itself to a marked degree in the formation of dubs, sororities, etc. Admiration for the group and pride in its achievements are stronger than the self love that was characteristic of earlier life. To help the adolescent girl grow into the well rounded, socially minded woman of to-morrow, confident of her own strength, with complete possession of herself, and with perfect control of herself is the greatest privilege one can have.
()n Thursday afternoon. May 24, the Travelers' Cluh met and Willie Bellamy gave some very interesting descriptions of Florida, her home state. She said that, although Florida is usually thought of as being flat and hot. it is really a table land and not extremely hot. She gave a description of the city of St. Augustine, the BETA CHAPTER OF PI KAPPA OMEGA INSTALLED Fountain of Youth and the Everglades.

THE WOMAN OF TO-MORROW ( In a recent test in Mr. Bell's class in the Psychology of Adolescence one question was: "Write upon any topic suggested by the course which particularly interests ymi." The following was the answer made by Mi>> Willie London, taken verbatim from the test paper.) "The adolescent girls of to-day will he the women of to-morrow. The big question is: What kind of women will they he? When 1 sit in chapel and look into the happy or unhappy, eager or listless, satisfied or dissatisfied laces of our women of to-morrow, I wish 1 could have them all take me into their confidences and pour out to me the joys, sorrows, hopes, or disappointments in their lives, that 1 might help them to get a right balance and sense of values. At no age do girls need sane, wholesome, .sympathetic friendship more.
