Bowery Bt
Invitations have been received for the
annual ball of cue South Carolina Alpha
Chapter of Sigma APhi Epsilon which will
be held at Ridgewood Club Friday night,
March 13. The dance this year will take
tine form of a Bowery Ball. The chapter
has decided to have it bowery and strictly
bowery. No one will be admitted in street
or formal dress, except the chaperones.
When Peter. Stuyvestant was governor
of New York, his estate was known as
the "Bowery". It was notorious as the
rendezvous of the lawless. Today this
estate has built up and is known as
Bowery Bay." It is characterized by
heterogeneity of population and a multitude
of cheap shops. The^esorts along the
street arc internationally known, but their
character has been somewhat improved.
The characters seen along the street are
of the rougher type and are hazardously
dressed?hence the origin of the "Bowery
Ball."
The chaperones invited are: Dr. and
Mrs. D; M. Douglas, Dean and Mrs. L. T.
Baker,, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Chase,
Mrs. W. M. Hansom, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Rion McKissick, Mr. and Mrs. M. J.
Matteson, and many prominent alumni
and friends of the chapter scattered
throughout the State.

Fashion's Foibles I
Stockings are not just stockings to
women. They are a luxurious necessity
and it is important to wear just the right
ones in color and texture.
The smartest hose now are the dull
finished ones. The sheen is eliminated by
a new twist of the silk in the thread
which is also supposed to make them
smoother and stronger. The smoothness
is proof against pulling and if pulls
could be banished what a burden would
be taken from us!
Those dull hose arc really prettier and
more flattering. They make the legs look
slimmer and make them appear at their
best. A powdery effect is given that is
as becoming to them as real powder is
to the face.
Stocking colors for spring are just
about two shades lighter than those worn
during the winter. With black or gray
costumes, gray-beige stockings look best.
For most other day-time wear, a
medium beige is the nicest. For evening
the nude colored stocking is favorite.
It is both practical and economical to
get a stocking color and stick to it. Or
rather, these three colors for spring, and
if you get all your hose of the same
make and shade you will not have any
single good stockings surviving a mate
which have to be discarded.
u. s. c.
SUGGESTIONS
That co-eds wearing high-heel shoes
do not walk across the tennis courts.
Breaking bits of stucco and plastering
off the buildings doesn't help the
general appearance.
The flowers that have just starfed
blooming look a whole lot better where
they are than as boutennieres.
And just to be trite?why not use
the trash cans for spare papers?and
leave chalk in the classrooms?
We are glad so many frosh have
stopped breaking out windows to get
their "five dollars' worth," but can't
they chunk at something besides the
squirrels we've wasted so many peanuts
taming?

Rembert House Girls
Thrilled By Dracula
Terrible Nightmare At Rembert
House Is Caused By
Dreaded Killer
"Eee-ec-c-e-" a shrill, blood-curdling,
scrcam cut through the silent atmosphere
of the somnolent Rembert House during
the wee hours of Monday morning.
"Good Lord!! What is that?" The occupants
of the second floor catapulated
from their beds as the shriek resounded
through the rooms. They rushed precipitately
in the direction of the outcries.
"Get that thing off my knees! Oh-h-!"
again came the hysterical voice.
The astounded girls discovered Edith
Stukes, sitting bolt upright in her bed,
sound asleep, and emitting howls of abject
terror. Across'her knees lay a small unassuming
book.
"Get it off my knees, I say! Eee-ee-e-eGet
it off 1"
"Wake up, wake up!" They shook the
sleeping girl violently, but without effect.
"Get some water quick!"
The cold fluid served only to make the
nightmare more 'violent.
At last Mrs. Marion was called upon
for aid. She administered a dose of ammonia,
and Edith awakened.
"I fell asleep reading Dracula," was
her shruddering explanation.
