MISSIONARY TO
AFRICA SPEAKS
Roy Schafer Addressed Y. W.
C. A. Thursday Night On His
Work In Africa
Roy Schafer, a missionary to Africa
spoke at Y. W. C. A. Thursday night.
He told ahont his missions to the
foreign field, including the dress and
habits of the particular tribe for which
he was working?the Masai Tribe.
After briefly sketching the history
of the tribe and showing its location
in Africa, he pointed out many interesting
scenes by the use of slides.
The types of huts the nations lived
in, the kind of dress they wore especially
in marriage which they continued
wearing until death, the spirit
of valor, the interest in warriors and
on to the civilization of these people
were explained by the speaker. The
picturesque beauty of these slides convinced
the large number present that
Mr. Schafer really enjoyed and was
proud to do the work for the people
he loved so dearly.

PRINCE OF WALES
FOR LONG SKIRTS
SUGGESTIONS OFFERED
We see that the I'rince of Wales
has come out for long skirts to help
the cloth industry. Since he doesn't
have to wear 'em he can afford to.
Soon, we suppose, the bachelor prince
will be coming out for large families
to help the baby carriage industry!
Perhaps he believes in wasp waists to
help the corset industry; and bustles
to help the hair and wire industry.
Why, we wonder, doesn't the Prince
use his influence for a return to coats
f of mail? Just think how it would
help the steel industry! Why not also
suggest a vogue of non-vaccination;
it would help the undertaker's industry.
Why not go back to sail
boats to help the cottoncloth industry?
Why not an insistence that the great
oil-burning ships of the British navy go
back to using coal to help the nearly
dead coal mining industry in England?
Why not use gas lights again? Makers
of gas-mantles and gas-piping would
be immensely benefitted.
Why not any or all of these?
Because, in the course of years
and experience, better ways have been
discovered and adopted.
This idea should be applied to
women and their skirts. Are long
skirts more desirable, more comfortable,
more economical, more healthful.
than short skirts? Does the present
status of women in business, industry
and the professions make for
a life in which the clothing worn by
tlie strictly stay-at-home woman, the
more or less inactive woman, of a
generation ago would be in any manner
suitable or practicable? These
are the questions to be considered in
a radical change of style for women's
clothing. Women should not be asked
to make what might be a backward
step to save any industry.

Miss Elizabeth White was in
Columbia recently for the Art exhibit
which was held at the Columbia
Public Library. Miss White was
formerly instructor of drawing and

to know that Miss White had
two water colors hung in the ninth
annual exhibit of the Southern States
Art League at Birmingham. One of
her paintings entitled "White Narcissus"
is now traveling in the circuit
B exhibition of the League and is to
he reproduced for publicity for the

BOHEMIAN HOUSE
SCENE OF DANCE
CHRISTMAS PARTY GIVEN
'1 he Bohemian House was the scene
of an informal Christmas dance,
Saturday night, Dec. 7. Besides the
usual Christmas decorations Southern
smilax and Spanish moss were used
effectively in the various rooms. About
fifty guests were served punch and
a jolly holiday spirit prevailed. Dancing
lasted from 9 to 12.

Dr. Clarke: "Can you tell me who
started the Lions Club?"
David Harrcll: "Daniel, I suppose."
Is she a wonderful girl?
Yes, figuratively speaking.

We hear she wound the phonograph,

prevented parking on the front porch.
And at that, the house was filled
with mistletoe.
Perhaps it would be a good idea
to decorate the gym entirely with

DO-EDS DISPLAY
SPRAINED ANKLES
FALLEN ARCHES ALSO
Folks, you may have already settled
his little problem of mine in your
nind long before, perhaps even you
ire on the inside and knew all about
t long before this. But it has been
nizzliug, even worrying me, for some
imc now. What's the cause of this
vave, so to speak, of sprained ankles
uul fallen arches so prevalent at this
imc among the co-eds? Every day,
:vcn every hour during the day, 1
licet them on the campus. The first
ine hobbles on her right foot, the next
me on her left and believe it or not,
yesterday I met one with both feet
securely bound up and she hobbled
m both feet.
Later in the day I over-heard a
reshman express her concern over
his deplorable fact and the only
itiswer she received to her inquiries
,vas, "it's all 011 account of that horrible
old Jim."
Now, I'dc just like to ask who this
'horrible old Jim" is, where lie resides
and what the afflicted co-eds arc
danning to do about. I wonder if
Miss Helen Smith, Physical Educaion
director would prove to be a possible
source of information.

OPENS SEASON

lie world which has never understood
lim and which has cheapened all .his
inest thoughts?a motive that has a
simpler parallel in his wife's deserion
?f him for hir inferior imitation
?and conies to join a circus. Here
indcr the clown's ridiculous garb he
vill say his great thoughts, tell the
rowd what wise and beautiful ideas
irisc in him, and get himself laughed
it for a fool; when all the while the
nockery and jest are at their expense.
11 the company there is Consuelo,
lot a mere young girl, but the figure
>f all beauty, white and rose and gold,
gnorant of the world, untouched.
>he is the centre of all the love moives
in this play that turns 011 love
11 all its kinds; and is herself the
deal thing, unconscious of itself, desired
by all the others. And there,
00, is Benzano beautiful, cruel, destroying,
as life and passion are destroying.
He, the clown, loves Consuelo
for herself and because she is
he image of all beauty. And in the
nd he kills her to save her fro* i the
lcfilcincnt of the Baron's hands; and
ic dies with her, following beauty
>ut of the world as he had followed it
11 all his life, slapped and jeered and
nisundcrstood to the very last by the
rrowd about him.
This is Andeyev's play, a tragic
antasy around the ironical career that
ruth and distinction meet at the
lands of the common mass of men.
This excellent drama will be presented
in performance in the near fuure
at the University chapel theatre
>n the campus.
