Madme Serrec Coeds Ad "Coeds should stick to the idea of 'dressing down' rather than that of "dressing up/ for simplicity is always i the keynote of elegance," said Madam Serrec Wednesday in giving advice to Carolina's six hundred coeds. "The most important thing about being popular is to have something to offer. Charming conversation may be founded on a knowledge of what is going on in the world, original opinions about literature and things othcV than personalities and shop talk. In a large group it is true there must be some dominating personality but one should not let them drown one's own ideas; there should be a healthy give and take with a whetting of personalities one on the other. The chronic follower has no personality of her own." Dress "Simplicity in dress and appearance is very far from being indifference, as every detail of grooming must be meticuously cared for. The clothes that are worn most (presumably school frocks) should be chosen with just as much care as party frocks. One good general rule about jewelry is that, although it has its place as part of the costume, the less worn, the more effective it is. One ring is as much as a coed needs on one hand, and she should never wear a bracelet on the same arm. Long ear-rings are taboo with hats, and should seldom be worn in connection with FRATERNITY NEWS] During the past week the local chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma held the election of chapter officers.

The girl is old fashioned who plucks her eyebrows to a tKfn line, chang1ing the natural arc. Dark powders are the vogue; not suntan, but powders of darker tint3 that blend in with the natural tone?another trend away from'artificiality 1" "Curves are in," she stated. "We are getting away from the idea of the immaciated figure, but on the other hand, fat persons will never be smart in appearance." Manners and Habits in General "Crossed knees are correct form as long as they are gracefully done. Chewing gum and charming coeds meet only in private, for chewing gum is certainly a very inelegant habit, and if it must be done, let it be done behind closed doors," she said. "Applying lip rouge and repairing make-up in public is quite all right, but should be done quietly, gracefully, and unostentiously. One should never comb one's hair in public. "Smoking is not necessary to make a cocd sophisticated. The girl who attempts to be sophiticatcd is provincial. "A girl should not set herself on a pedestal, and expect to be waited on; but a graceful insistence on little formal courtesies is not only pleasant for the girl, it is also good for the boy." Tinman Emits Angry Tirade Nicholas Tinman, who has become quite a character on the campus, famous in the newspapers, and one of the most beautiful cursers of his day, became infuriated with the water fountain by Extension Building that he was fixing one morning and broke into a flow of very strong language. Suddenly dashing into Miss Dillard's office, ignorant of her presence, to use the telephone and still whispering sweet nothings to the air, he was quite embarrassed to learn that she had heard the tirade. He apologized very profusely and explained that he was teaching an Austrailian Sunday school lesson. After a few minutes conference with Mr. Smith, his co-worker, Mr. Smith came into the office and also apologized. He was very much provoked to find out that Miss Dillard had not even mentioned his name. Score one for Mr. Tinman. During Miss Dillard's absence, as a compensation, Mr. Tinman placed a! bunch of his favorite crysantliymums on her desk. To complete breaks one day Mr. Tinman saw a pair of feet on one of his choice flower beds. Without looking to see who it was he shouted, "Get your d? big feet off my flower bed." Imagine his embarrassment when he turned around and met the surprised face of Doctor Douglas. u. s. c. PHI BETA KAPPA BIDS STUDENTS (Continued from f>agc one) ber of the Radio club, of K. S.
