Fashion's Foibles | Keep anything long enough and it will come back in style. This is at least true with regard to hats. If you have a small hat in the style of about 1850 that is worn on the top of the head and has its brim banked beneath with flowers or has ribbons used in the same effect, then it is a suitable model for your hat this spring. Hats are the most intriguing and old fashioned of all the clothes this season. Witn shallow crows an<J twisted brims, somewhat lavishly trimmed with flowers or ^ribbons, they do not fit down close to the head but are very piquant nevertheless. Brims are lopside or raised on the inner edge with flowers banked under the brim against the crown. Ribbon often runs through slits in a turned back brim and is gathered under it. One extreme but chiquc hat in this style is of beige straw trimmed with brown ribbon. The narrow brim is turned down in front and raised in the back, almost half way up the crown, and is banked beneath with shirred rosettes of ribbon, a band of which runs around the fronth at the base of the crown. There are many black straw hats in evidence. One shiny black has its brim folded up across the side of the front and has a line of dazics along the fold. This model is modified in many ways. Some of the hats give a very decided effect' of being raised or lifted in the back, tilted in a chiquc way over the forehead. The brim is narrow and stiff and it is in the treatment of it that the individuality of each hat is achieved. It is not merely turned up but is twisted while still turned down. This is done by the way in which the brim is attached to the bottom of the crown. Trimmings arc rather elaborate and are usually of a different color than that of the hat itself. \ A charming brown hat has the brim across the back placed very bight and used pink and deep rose flowers for trimming. This is a very dressy bonnet and should show the hair waved around the face. In fact all hats should be worn so that waves or curls of hair show under the line of the hat, in contrast to the fashion of last year. A hat of the larger type with a wider brim is of natural straw and the brim is puckered on one side which gives a floppy effect. Another rather large one in bright blue felt has the brim slit along the crown and ribbon of a paler .blue pleated along the bottom of the crown. The brim is sewed on a little higher up. / .; VvVV ./ ' life Dr. Mitchell A Corresponc Samuel Childs Mitchell, president of the University of South Carolina, 19081913, and John Bennett, author of "Master Skylark" and other popular novels, are recent correspondents of the Kosmos club, a Columbia organization inspired by the University. The occasion of Dr. Mitchell's letter was an invitation extended to him by the Kosmos club to be present at their February meeting. Dr. Mitchell visited the club twenty-five years ago this month, two years before he was president of Carolina. His letter is as follows: "I desire to thank sincerely the members of the Kosmos club for your kind invitation to attend your Valentine session. Well do I remember my first meeting with your noble group which was held at the home of Major Sloan on the campus. The paper was able and the discussion lively. The frankness and freedom were exhilarating. Your group were a big factor in my life when I was privileged to live and work with you. "What America needs is a Thinking General Staff to use the pharsc of another in addressing a group at Oxford, England. Hence you are a senate as well LUTHERANS GIVE ATTRACTIVE PARTY Valentine Party Given by Lutheran Student Association of University at Melton Hall The Lutheran Student Association of the University celebrated St. Valentine's Day with a party on Tuesday night, February 16, at Melton Hall. The guests played Valentine games and took part in various contests. Miss Leola Fulmer won the prize, a box of Valentine candy, for pinning, while blindfolded, a tiny heart in the center of another heart. Ralph Derrick was winner of the "candy-hunt," a search for pieces of candy hidden in the room. Refreshments of coffee and sandwiches were served. This organization of the Lutheran students meets monthly. Its officers are: Evelyn Caughman, president; Frank Roof, vice- president; and Ralph Derrick, secretary and treasurer. u. s. c. ORATORS TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING State Oratorical Association Will Hold Annual Meeting at Jefferson on February First The State Oratorical Association ot South Carolina will hold its annual meeting in the Jefferson Hotel during the last week of February. Several important things face ine association at this time since the state intercollegiate contest is not far off. Arrangements for time and place of this contest will be made, and rules and regulations will be announced for constituents. Nigel A. League, corresponding scccrctary for the association, has charge of local arrangements. According to League, elimination for Carolina aspirants will probably take place during the latter part of March and the state contest will occur sometime during April. The candidate from Clemson last year won the contest, and the year before the trophy went to Erskine. COLLEGE BARBER SHOP Rear College Shop Haircuts Shave 20tf Three First-Class Barbers ?

Mr. Bennett, who is remembered by his novels, and on the campus by his recent address on his life and experiences in learning to write, describes the club as an "unusual organization with which it is a pleasure and a privilege to meet. His letter is, in part: "To try out one's work on the many diverse points of view and appreciation found in the club is an advantage not often given^ a writer?and one I shall always welcome in the future?and look back to with pleasure and profit. "I am in deep debt to Kosmos for its expressed appreciation and an appreciation unexpressed, but not the less encouraging to me, the fine attention lent to all the varied episodes I presented for trial." Officers of the club are: President, Beverley Herbert, distinguished alumnus of the University; vice-president, J. Nelsbn Frierson, dean of the Law School; secretary-treasurer Prof. O. L. Keith, head of the department of romance languages. Co-ed Annex Girls Visit Out of Town The annexes had several girls to spend the weekend out of town. Sara Willis visited her home in Batesburg.
