Wet-Weather Togs Football -games always inspire the feminine fans to don their very best and prettiest clothes. The college girls either plan for several days the costume they will wear to the coming game or they are subconsciously wondering if they have just the right things to wear. But suppose it rains? In this day of smartly tailored, brightly colored slickers, neat, close fitting galoshes and attractive berets cloudy football weather holds no inquietude for the girls. Wet-weather togs this season are especially individual and striking. For the last few years one had no choice in slickers except in color and even in color there was little variety. Dark greens, blues and brown and black did little to brighten up stormy days but now the colors are many. Bright reds, greens, pinks, and even lavender, purple and plaids and stripes are popular. It is just as easy to carry out the ensemble in rainy weather as it is on pretty sunshiny days. Often a unique beret is made of the self material to match the slicker or a close fitting felt hat or cloche can be had to match or harmonize with the color scheme. Galoshes in black, brown, or gray, often trimmed with a cuff of red or orange do nothing to detract from the costume but add to the sense of comfort and security of the ensemble. Short water-proof jackets have been becoming more popular for the last few months. These are especially good-looking when worn with woolen tweed skirts of harmonizing or contrasting hues. Oil cloth purses and bags and cliamiosette gauntlets or slip-011 gloves complete the gay togs which can be as attractive as any street costume. GIRL LOSES HAT AFTER LENGTHY SHOPPING TOUR According to Miss Hattie Mae Still, shopping tours are not necessarily fruitful. After a lengthy and intensive journey through the principal department stores of Columbia, Miss Still returned to the Woman's Building exhausted and worn, but elated withal. As she entered the portals of the building a friend greeted her with, "Lo, Hattie Mae I What'd you buy?" "Oh, the darlingest black hatl It's a buster-brown, with a double rim and a watchacallit hanging down on the side. Do let me show you! Here?why? where?what did I do with it?" Miss Still became frantic. The darlingest hat had disappeared?vanished into thin air as it were. The co-ed instituted a thorough search from end to end of Main Street. But alas! A hat once lost? always lost! She returned home at last, exhausted, worn?and this time quite depressed. FRESHMAN Y. W. GIVES PROGRAM A program was given at the Girls' Industrial Home Saturday evening from seven to eight o'clock by the Frosh Y. W. C. A. council with the help of J. J. Brown, president of the Christian Service Club. Eugenia Burney, member of the council, played a violin solo, "The Melody of Love" and sang "When the Organ Played at Twilight."

SUNSHINE CAUSES ORPHAN GALOSHES A pair of lone, dilapidated galoshes had been lying in a deserted corner of the hall in the Woman's Building. The maids had unsuccessfully attempted to locate the owner. 1 he rains began, and the overshoes disappeared surreptitiously in the dead of the night. Now that the sun smiles again upon the land, they repose once more in the corner, unclaimed, unwanted. u. s. c. Soph.: "Dad, you are a lucky man." Father: "How is that?"
