Miss Berenice McBride, of Florence, J c
and Charles Howard, now? of Colum- I \
bia, but formerly of Florence, were 11
quietly married Wednesday night at 11
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Francis I
Van Benthuysen, 309 South Wood L
Road, Columbia. The Reverend S. K. Phillips,
of the Arsenal Hill PreBby-1 r
terian church, performed the cere-11
mony.
Mrs. Howard is the daughter of 11
Mr. and Mrs. L. B. McBride, of 11
Florence, and is a popular art student 11
at the University. Mr. Howard is the I <
son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Howard, U
of Roanoke. He is now in Columbia i
as district manager of a large com- ]
party. i
The marriage, though not a surprise,
came unexpectedly, being wit- (
nessed only by William Friar, Dorothy
Marsh, and the Van Benthuysens.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Howard left for Charlotte
and after a short wedding trip will be
at home with the Van Benthuysens. (

Fashion's Foibles |j
Pajamas have become such an impor- 1
tant item of the wardrobe. They seem to \
be the only costume appropriate for any J
occasion. '
The most elaborate pajamas are seen at I
formal dances and receptions. These are <
made of soft silks, satins and crepes in
pastel colors and made up in as many pat- J
terns as there are tastes. Laces, pleats, I
ruffles, circular flounces, and godettes
combine to give a very feminine and
charming, effect. Attractive jackets in
varied lengths?Eton style, hip length and
finger tip?cover blouses of delicate design
often combined with lace and the
I ^
trousers are full and graceful.
An attractive pajama ensemble for
formal wear is featured in crepe with a t
short ecru lace jacket which has longL
flaring sleeves. The trousers from the
knees down are of finely pleated lace, j
forming a full flounce to the floor. An- t
other model has the blouse and trousers t
made in rose satin and a black chiffon L
jacket. j
Variations of the pajama fad for for- |
mal wear are the long pantaloons of L
lace or ruffles that are being worn un- ]
der evening dresses and arc shown to ad- (
vantage when the wearer is sitting down, f
For afternoon teas and informal
gatherings the jackets are longer and the
colors are of brighter hues. Black and j
white, and red and black combinations
are very popular. A stunning suit uses
black crepe for coat and trousers and
white crepe back satin for the blouse i
which has a cowl neck and a bow of self I
material in the center front. Three bands j
of white marabou trim the flared
sleeves of the coat and the trousers which I
are flared at the bottom by a godette on
each side.
A quilted jacket of silk designed in j
geometric figures# of red, black and green ^
completes a costume composed of black j
trousers and a red blouse. t
For the less formal occasion there is t
a piquant little model in a sailor style. \
The wide flared trousers, slightly shorter I
on the sides than in the center, are made
to a close-fitting yoke and the blouse has ?
a big sailor collar and middy sleeves. <

BABCOCK OFi
MONEY FOR
0*ie hundred dollars was offered by
)octor Havilah Babcock to any memer
in his sophomore English class,
nd believe it or not, no one took up
he offer. The only strings tied to
he proposition was that the student
ccepting keep a complete diary for
en days telling everything that he did
r thought during that time.
Immediately after Doctor Babcock's
jenerous offer the class, as o?e, agreed
hat they would not accept it even if
t was a thousand dollars. One timid
nember of the class was heard to
nurmur that he wouldn't find it so
ery hard to put every act and deed
>f a ten-day period down in black and
vhite; but, as for thoughts, that would
>c another story?and much more ine
resting.
Doctor Babcock then shocked the
:lass?he enjoys shocking his classes
-by brazenly admitting that he would
lot reveal his thoughts of the previous
en minutes for a hundred dollars.
It seemed for a minute that one of
he brave boys in the class was going
o take up the professor's proposition,
3ut the ever-resourceful Doctor Babcock
nipped it iii the bud just in time
by the promise that if he found the
diary interesting enough, he would
publish it?and saved a hundred
dollars.

Mr. Culbertson states that lie is on
he trail of a collection of papers of
jovernor Perry, which had been
bought cither destroyed or in the colection
of an out-of-state person. These
vi 11 be turned over to the University
ibrary as soon as they can be obained.
Among his finds is also a
runkail of material and other data
vhich has been located at Charlotte,
Sf. C., for which he is negotiating.
Other articles which stand out in his
eccntly-collectcd lot are: a die of the
ild South Carolina State bank; a lot
>f uncancelled Confederate stamps; a
run of one "Joe Crews"; several old
:oint>; a Confederate commander's
sword; Confederate money; a lancing
:nife, and many letters and notes.
Besides Culbertson, there are several
tlier students interested in this work,
nd who have given the University
nany letters and papers of interesting
nd valuable content. Among them is
Villiam I. Latham, editor of The C'aromian,
and who has turned over much
f his material to the library.
