Four The Twig January 23,1930 Student Volunteers Meet Thursday Eve. The Student Volunteer Bandl held its regular meeting at 5‘ o’clock on Thursday afternoon,! January 16, in the B. S. U. of-1 fice. The meeting opened \vith| a song, “All Hail the Power of, Jesus’ Name,” followed by a prayer led by Miss Elliot. After the business and the devotional, Mrs. J. S. Farmer, a former Meredith girl who spent several i years in Japan as a missionary, | spoke on “Japan.” Mrs. Farmer; gave some very interesting facts; about Japan. Ninety-eight per; cent of the children of school age' are in school. Ninety-five peri cent of the people can i*ead. Al-i though the Japanese are a high-i ly cultured people, they are notj a religious people. A census i shows that only two per cent of j the students of the Imperial; University claim any religion: whatever, either pagan or Chris-; tian. Medical missionaries are not needed in Japan as they are in other countries, Mrs. Favmerl declared, for the Japanese doc-i tors and nurses are well trained' and capable of giving their peo-i pie good medical attention. The' missionai’y work which South-1 ern Baptists are doing there is, in the fields of evangelism and| education. Many more workers, are needed in both of these fields, j The meeting was concluded! with a prayer by Mrs. Farmer. The band appreciates Mrs. Far mer giving this interesting and inspiring talk.

Anoth er musical program was broad cast this past Friday night, Jan- uai'y 17. At this time vocal, or- (Coiitinuctl fi'om imirc an«) were all Avell presented, special mention being given to “Noc turne.” Miss Parsons again ren dered several songs by different composers. These were sung with much interpretation and feeling. Here special mention might be given to the delicate, light way in which the singer presented “Children of the Moon.” Again Miss Galt pre sented a group of two numbers, both of which were rendered beautifully. The pianist seemed to have caught the spirit of ‘Br’er Rabbit,’ a clever little piece by MacDowell. The real ism of this piece was clearly brought out. In the next vocal selections Miss Parsons presented that old and favorite Dvorak number, “Songs My Mother Taught Me.” This was sung very beautifully. Also “Estrellita” (Little Star) j was given an understanding in terpretation. Miss Galt did some ; of her best playing in her last number, Liszt’s Etude Db, play- ' ing with brilliance and mastery.

Mr. Lei^er began his talk with a brief sketch of America’s diplomatic relations, showing an international view of thing.s was particularly apt for citizens of the United States. The main body of his lecture, how’ever, was concerned with South America, whose history he sketched briefly and then he out lined the economic possibilities of the great country. He con cluded his talk w'ith a plea that the people of the United States broaden their view of “Ameri can” to include not only them selves but the citizens of the tw’o great continents, lest the extreme nationalistic spirit of the people of the United States bring their destruction. in ChoDln Lithuanian Song Strauss Stfindchen Xevin Mon Dosir Warren Chihlren of the Moon JilKS pAUSdX.S IV Brahms Intermeziio MacDowcll Br'ev Rabbit Miss Oai.t I Dvorait..—Songs Jly Mnthev Taught Me LaForge To a Messenger I Ponce-LaForge.-Estreliita (Little Star) Sanderson Break o’ Day Miss PAiisnNs VI Lifizt Etnile Db Miss GAi/r Textile Association Holds Fash ion Show Meet Your Friends At The “Cally” CALIFORNIA FRUIT STORE Students' Headquarters Since 1900 about” dress of a red satin print!heavier material with a larger and two school dresses made up print for the coat.

Following these more somber colors were a group of trim sport dresses made up of vari colored prints combined w’ith plain materials. Miss Cleveland told her audience that there were many important things to be remembered about the length of the new dresses: 1. For sports, the skirts should be four inches below the knee. 2. For general wear, they should be fifteen inches from the ground. 3.

We became ‘silk-minded,’ Then the cotton manufacturers woke up, and seeing their own deplorable con dition. set to work to remedy it. Miss Cleveland told, in a few words, of the numerous stages and processes through which the cotton material passes before it is put upon the market. There followed a pajama pa rade in which a number of stu dents served as models. Sleep ing, lounging, beach, and kitch enette pajamas were modelled. They were made in gay colors and several styles showed the new Spanish influence, which is found in dress styles as well, probably because this is the year of the Barcelona Fair. “Tuck- ins,” jackets, square necks, and flares are the features of the new styles in pajamas. They are made of gay prints finished off with solid colors. A number of dresses for gen eral wear were next modelled. There was a lovely ensemble consisting of green velveteen skirt and a double-breasted jack et of corduroy in contrasting color over an egg-shell batiste blouse. There was a blue vel veteen straight-lined dress with beret to match. There.was also a brown velveteen trimmed with a lighter shade of the same ma terial. A lovely dark green vel veteen was made up one-piece style with a flared skirt and trimmed with egg-shell batiste. There was a one-piece “run to the floor in the back. 4. For in-between occasions, the skirts take in-between lengths. However, these droop ing skirts should not be used for street wear, but should be re served for indoor wear and for teas. A number of long-sleeved dresses were next shown. There w’ere ensembles of twin-prints, using a small print of a sheer material for the dress and a home from the Orient. Later in the evening he entertained with several lovely vocal solos, ac companying himself at the piano.
