PARTY BY LA PREMIERE FOR NEW YEAR One of the Christmas festivities was a farewell Leap Year party given by the La Premiere Club at Melton Hall just before the holidays. The club colors, blue and white, pre vailed in the three romms. Moss drap ed over the blue covered globes gave a soft mellow moon-light effect. Holly and mistletoe were used to complete the holiday scheme. Proposals by the members of the club to some unsuspecting young men caused much laughter. Mr. Kershaw Walsh favored the guests with vocal and gui tar seledtions. Progressive conversa tion and dancing occupied the rest of the evening. During the twelfth date refreshments wer. served. FRESHMEN FAVOR HAZING Hazing would be a good thing for the Freshmen at Harvard College, mem bers of the present first-year-class believe. Advancing the ther'ry that Sopho more-Freshmen rivalries would help unify the entering class and stamp out indifference, the Harvard Freshmen Discussion Club voted overwhelmingly in favor of hazing, it was disclosed today. A dissenting minority held that there was danger of serious physical injury. ~-The Times. COLUMBIA ENQNEERS TO REAR_PROF. TABER STUDENTS ARE INVITED Talk of Interest on Projected Water Power Development. The student members of the American Association of Engineers are asked to take note of the January meeting of the Columbia Engineers Club. The meeting will be given in the form of a "Dutch" luncheon, the cover charge being seventy five cents, and will be held at the Green Parrot January 10th at six p. m. Professor Stephed Taber, head of the Department of Geology at the Uni versity and who is also head of the state department of geology has been - asked to talk. Professor Taber will talk on "The Geology of Broad River Valley." The subject is of special interest at pres ent in view of the proposed bridge over the Congaree with one end anchored at the foot of Gervias Street, and also because of the Hydro-electric project of the Barstow Company which proposes to develop power in northern Richalnd County. --U..., Ennuerti Nati H. K. Dickert, senior in the Engi neering School was engaged last week in laying lines for a large pecan orchard in Richland County. Tom Legare, George Evans, J. B. Skinner, and Herbert Glenn of the Engineering School spent several days during the Ch.istmas holidays on a hydro-electric survey in the territory between the Santee and Cooper rivers. Mr. Lawrence (Larry) McLean of Troy, N. Y. (Carolina '25) who is well known on the campus for his glee club and swimming team work in '22 and '23 is in the city en route from his home in New York to Florida. 3o' frttumaa Present Betty wrote to her sweetheart, Joe, who attends the University of South Carolina, to ask what he wanted her to give him for a Christmas present. Betty is a practical girl with a pretty ha.it of thrift, and does not like to spend time and money getting gifts that might prove to be unwanted; besides she thought Joe might take the hint and ask her to name her preference for a gift for him. Joe did not take the hint, but he re plied that he desired from her nothing so much as a suavolium. Betty did not know what suavolium might be, so she consulted Webster's Unabridged, and was none the wiser. She visited several of Blank's big stores and asked to look at suavoliums, but she was met with dubious looks and mystified shakes of the head by the salespeople. She next called the manager of a store that deals in Christmas novelties and asked him frankly what a suavolium was, did he have one, and what was the price. The manager replied that his store carried all the latest things in Christmas gifts, but as for a suavo hium, he'd be blest if he'd ever heard of one before. Then the poor girl was obliged to put it up to her family. Her loyal relatives worked hard to discover what Joe want ed for Christmas. "It's my opinion," said Father, "that suavolium is a new name for a smok ing set." "Oh, no," Mother interposed, "I think it must be just the college slang term for a nice warm knitted pair of bed room slippers, or something like that." Sister pooh-poohed the ideas of her elders. "I as good as know;'' she de clared with a toss of her head, "that the word should have been spelled with a capital 'S,' and that 'Suavolium' is the name of the latest book of some noted foreign author." Brother admitted that it might pos sibly be Greek for handkerchief, foun tain pen, or even necktie, but the Doubt ing Thomas added bluntly, "My private opinion of a suavolium is that there Is no such animal." Joe arrived home for the holidays be fore Betty had obtained definite infor mation about the matter of his Christ mas gift. Now Betty was a rather peppery temper, and she had been wor ried for two weeks abt thal au - "Women" Women are,queer things, ito doubt about thit. They hate to be thin, and they hate to be fat. One- moment its laughter, and the next its cry. And you can't understand them, however you try. But there is one thing about them that everyone knows, A woman is not dressed until she pow ders her nose. I have studied the sex for a number of years. I have seen them in laughter and seen them in tears, Oh I her ways and her whims I've pon dered a lot. To learn what would please her and just what would not. But all I have learned, from the start to the close, Is sooner or later she'll powder her nose. At church or a ball game, at a dance or a show, There's one thing about them that I know, At weddings or funerals or dinners of state, You will find that her hand will dive into her waist. And every few moments she will stick up a pose, And the whole world will wait till she powders her nose. He.-"May I print a kiss upon your lips?"' She.-"Yes, provided you promise not to publish it." She-(bringing in refreshments)-Do you care for rolls? He-Oh, this is so sudden. If Eve tempted Adam with an apple, what could she do nowadays with a good drink of liquor? "Oh, Jack, I haven't a thing to wear." " 'S' all right. I've a Sedan." He-(driving up to the curb)-Hello, little girl, wanta go for a ride?" Sweet Thing-Nothing doing, I'm walking home from one now. First Constable-"Did yer git that fel low's number ?" Second Constable-"j'No, he was too gol-derned fast fer me. Thet was a perty pert-looking gal in the back seat, wasn't she?" First Constable-"She sure was." Ralph-Why won't they allow you to take up women in airplanes? Sam-Too many of the pilots went blind when they were flying upside down. The case of two heads being better than one is exemplified in the barrel. A man is often judged by the com pany he keeps, but a woman must be judged by the time she keeps them. Women used to carry money in their stockings, but it's not safe to put money in public places now. During the Middle Ages rich men condemned to death would hire substi tutes to die in their places. Many poor people made a living in such manner. How's This? They sat alone in the moonlight, And she soothed his troub,led brow ; "Dearest, I know my life's been fast, But I'm on my last lap naow."

I looked in Webster's, but I did not find the word." "Yoih wouldn't," answered Joe, and with just a bit of the superiority a fel low assumes after his first semester in college he explained, "you should have looked in a Latin dictionary, then you would have found that suavolium means 'a little kiss'." You ought to have heard Betty give it to him. CAROLINA IS ADMITTED TO ' AMERICAN LAW BODY.
