The halls and double drawing rooms were resplendent with the glowing beauty of golden rod and masses of the stately yellow field (lower, helianthus, which blended most artistically with a background of ferns and palms.

THE MODERN GIRL Mow often do we bear the three words, "the modern girl!" Some speak them with a lowered voice and a look of horror, others imply toleration in every tone and gesture; while a few, we! are glad to say. defend the modern girl. \\ e would like to ask just what is wrong with the modern girl, "ller dress." you say? Please come with me to the living room and view the port rait of our great grandmother. Yes, that
pleases. Didn't the young women who dared to participate in a simple waltz in other days, bring bring down wrath ii]xm their heads, and didn't all the mothers and grandmothers condemn them to future torment for such behavior? There has never been an era since the beginning of time when the older generation was not firmly convinced that the present generation was going to the dogs. There has never been a day when mothers did not lift up their eyes in horror and exclaim in consternation. "Whatever is the world coming to if it allows a girl to do such things !" It is nothing more or less than hitman nature. The girls of to-day are enterprising. They work in factories, offices, and are becoming an influential factor in politics. Think of a "fainting female" of other days driving a motor truck or nursing in shell-devastated areas in the recent World War. Of course a few go to the extreme, before a happy medium is reached. There are people of to-day who would have us believe that the greater number of our modern girls smoke cigarettes, paint their faces, and talk slang. This is not true. The great majority of our modern young women to-day are too busily, engaged in hustling for a livelihood to find the time for such indiscretions, even if opportunities presented themselves. And those few are generally found among the "idle rich." At a meeting of the ROTUNDA Staff on Tuesday, October 10. it was decided to combine the work of the news, organazations, and Y. W. C. A. editors into one department, with the news editor at its head. The news editor is to be assisted in her work by a board of rejwrters, made up ot one reporter troin each organization in school. The news editor asks for the cooperation of each organization as her work is impOS-| sible without their assistance. Especially does she require their aid in re]>orting all social events for the new social column in the ROTUND \. The following new members of the staff were also appointed: Miss Carolyn Morrow, exchange edition; Miss Carolyn Payne, assistant circulation manager; and Miss Katherine Kemp, advertising manager.

frizzed and powdered mass on top of her head is hair, and it took hours to dresfl it. The other likeness that peeps at us above that very, very tightly laced waist, supported by a barrel-sized hustle, with SHOWN hands enveloped in lace mitts and meekly folded in her lap. is great-aunt Edith. Could we think of her as doing anything but adorning some stately drawing room, or [ hemming a snowy square of finest linen. Let us get OUt the family albums of red plush and turn to our mother's Aunt Jane. Imagine a girl of to day getting on a street car with that hoop skirt on, or writing ofl a typewriter with arms encased in those puffed and tucked slee\es. Now t let US look out of the window at the young girl leaving next door. She has on a sensibly short dress, neatl) rounded at the neck, with sleeves short enough for a brawn arm to conveniently swing a tennis racket, while her ieet are shod in low heel oxfords, ller face shows a few honest freckles, and ii topped hv a masi of bobbed ringlets which took about ten minutes
