This chapter plans to donate two more bushes by commence ment, and wishes to give four more next year. When the boxwood gifts arrived, the college was taking its Easter vacation, and the campus was deserted. There was nothing for the bringer to do but set the shrubs out. Thus, the mysterious ap pearance of the boxwoods is ex plained. KRAMER’S "THE HOUSE OF DIAMONDS" Martin & Salisbury Sts. Raleigh, N. C. Dial TE 2-8304 HARRISON LIBRARY LENDS FILMS The Meredith student body is grateful to the Richard B. Harrison Library for the release of two films which were shown on May 15. These films, “The Tragedy of Mil- ton” and “Capital City,” proved to be both enjoyable and informative to the people who saw them. The Richard B. Harrison Li brary, located on Blount Street, is a library for negroes. Established twenty-two years ago and named for the man who played “De Lawd” in Green Pastures, it was the first library in North Carolina to spon sor an American Heritage Discus sion Group. An organizer of the library, Mrs. Mollie Lee, is the pres ent librarian. Since its facilities are open to all Raleigh citizens, countless Mere dith girls have used the library’s collection for research paper ma terial. The book displays are most attractive, and a trip to the library would be worthwhile. ADDISON AND STEELE ON THE SACK For the best in Cosmetics Visit- VILLAGE PHARMACY Cameron Village DIAL TE 3-1507 Free Delivery By CHIZUKO KOJIMA Several months ago I was deeply shocked by the death of Christian Dior, the arch-designer of Paris who for many years saved us from monotony in ladies’ dress. About a decade ago the female population of the world was suddenly covered with the “New Look” of long skirts which was soon replaced by the “Tulip Line.” Without warning, the fair ladies were swayed from “H-Line” to “A-Line,” also launched from Dior’s laboratory. At the news of this great man’s death I much feared that we might suffer a dull life without meeting catastrophic changes in ladies’ dress. My grief and pessimistic fear, however, were completely wiped away by the recent appearance of a new mode. In a New York fashion show, a beautiful lady came up with a dress which was so uniquely shaped without shape that I thought she was wearing some experimental attire for a trip to the Milky Way. The friend who accompanied me, who ^j^ps reared on an Idaho farm, was unable to conceal his astonish ment and loudly shouted, “A potato sack!” But we soon found out that this-curveless bag came from Paris as a dress for ladies. We noticed that all the ladies present were sigh- MAN-MUR SHOE SHOP Invisible Shoe Repairing TROY D.

They left the place completely caught by the fever of the formless form. A few days later at a cafeteria in downtown Chicago we saw the busi ness ladies all wearing the sack, and I noticed that my Idaho friend was becoming homesick again. Thus this new wrapper, which they call the chemise for French tone, is appear ing all over the continent and con cealing the natural feminine figure. About this, I am receiving many letters from gentlemen of many states who are greatly disturbed and tortured by the ladies’ chemise. For my part I am not suffering, as I take pride in being liberal about things novel in ladies’ dress. I would only wish that ladies would con sider the fact that the barbarian sack of Rome made the decline of the empire decisive. By reminding the ladies of this, I mean that I am concerned about their beauty. ’ fear that the external sack of the feminine world by new modes from Paris may some day cause the thorough decline of the feminine mind.
