And strange to say, the colors for spring this year arc distinctly autumn colors?mauves, browns, reds, orange, dark greens, and blues. Designers are using two-color schemes which promise to be very popular as a change from the monotonously harmonizing shades which have monopolized the fashions in color for several seasons past. Now instead of getting every thing ?hat, suit, purse, gloves, scarf, and possibly shoes?of one color, twocolors are used in combinations. These effective and striking combinations \Vere forecast by the popular use of black and white, which has by no means lost favor for the coming season. The advance spring hats arc in solid colors and in the bright shades. In many instances the hat is in contrast to the dominant color note in the suit or coat worn with it. Suits of light silk and wool mixtures arc of soft tones of blue, green, brown, gray, and mauve. Hose are neither Tight nor dark but of a neutral shade of gray or buff, called by all the fancy names the manufacturers invent. The hose go with the costume without contrasting or yet introducing another color. Even in jewelry this mismatch idea is carried out. The foreign women have not carried the matching of jewelry as far as the American women and now the stones and colors are not so severely ?unimaginatively match as they have been. o. 8. c.

Editor, The Gamecock: It seems that at present there is a determined drive by certain upperclassmen to force wearing of the "rat" cap by this year's freshman class. I heartily agree with the principle involved in this campaign. I believe that first-year men should wear the cap until after Barefoot Day in April. But, Mr. Editor, if all the freshmen, big and small, of every race and creed, male and female, would wear the little Garnet and Black insigna of inferiority, everything would be all right and this letter would never have been written. However, there is a certain bunch of sophisticated rats on the campus who consider it below their dignity to adorn their heads with the colors of our Alma Mater. There are many boys 011 this campus who do not resent the imposition of the rat cap, but they do resent seeing certain of their classmates parading around with their heads as bare of raiment as a new-born babe. And so, Mr. Editor, I fully believe that the solution of the present problem is that those upperclassmen, previously referred to, should turn their 'guns against those freshmen who have never even purchased a cap or have it hidden in the remote fastnesses of their closets. My cap cosy me one dollar and ten cents but I understand that prices have been reduced to one buck due to the business depression. Sincerely yours, John A. (Rat) Bigham. v.?. c. Kenneth: If I said, "I am handsome," what tense would that be? Anderson: Pretense, brother, pretense. ws _ff MONTHLY MEETING i BY VIOLIN CLUB < AT MRS. P. M.

"Here's how we'll do it. You get in there first and tire 'im a lot. Then I'll come along "n give the knock-out punch." The college lad was quite glad to fall into his corner at the end of the first round. His match ended uneventfully, and he had not even suspected himself of having been about to beat Dempsey. With all seriousness the professional stepped into the ring. He started at Dempsey with two or three blows, the last of which seemed to arouse a little of the champion's ire. At any rate, he delivered a punch which forced the man through the ropes while the crowd roared with laughter at so ambitious a boxer. Professor Wagener bent over him with sympathy and offered the only consolation he could, "I guess I didn't tire him out enough."
