f Page 4 QUEENS BLUES November 14, 1936 Students Hear Mrs. Brown In Chapet Home Economics Club Presents Fashion Show On Wednesday morning;, Noveim her 4, Mrs. J. Thompson Brown, well known author and lecturer of Spar tanburg, S. C., addressed the student body of Queens-Chicora College at the chapel services. Mrs. Brown, whose lectures have been heard in many schools, colleges, and clubs dur ing the. past ten years, is well fitted to speak on her chosen subjects, for she has spent her life in close touch with the scenes of Charleston and Williamsburg that she describes. Mrs. Brown chose as her topic, “The Charm of Good Manners.” In speaking of good manners, Mrs. Brown said that several things are essential. First, one must have the charm of the well-dressed, dne does not have to dress expensively, but becomingly. “The second essential,” said Mrs. Brown, “is consideration for others. One should never forget the person who is next to him.” The third requirement for good manners is an agreeable personality. All the world loves a genuine smile, and the person who wishes to be real ly charming must have a friendly smile. In closing her talk, Mrs. Brown said that the real test for good man ners is to be able to listen to others. The world’s greatest “bores” are those who are all “1.” Mrs. Brown’s advise was: “Ilon’t say T’ and ‘my,’ say ‘you’ and yours’.” Everybody has something interesting in her person ality. The Home Economics Club of Queens-Chicora College sponsored a fashion show on Wednesday night, November 4, in the college audi torium. The fashion parade was presented in the form of a “Cinderella” skit. Louise Faircloth, who wrote the lines for the action, played the role of Cinderella, and Mary Montgomery took the part of Prince Charming. The three haughty sisters were Caro line Wearn, Martha Johnston, and Sally McDowell. Mary Wilson pre sented the lines of the skit. The other models were Elizabeth Gam mon, Alice Wright Muridiy, Cath erine Martin, Eleanor Clayton, Thorn- burn I.illard, Helen Williams, Jean Grr, Nancy Mclver, and Jane Wiley. The beautiful dresses and hats modeled by the girls of the Home Economies Club were selected from the newest fall and winter styles and were furnished by laicielle’s. An additional feature of the enter tainment was the presentation of a number of attractive prizes, donated by business firms of Charlotte. Miss John Wright is president of tlie club.

(Continued from page S, col. 5) and the one the average student uses is cramming, or waiting until the night before the test to start sudying, then atempting to cram, in several consec utive hours what she has neglected to learn for daily lessons. When study ing for these long periods of time we become bored and our minds do not function as well as they should. The second and best method is studying a little every day before the test and for brief periods of time, thus giving our mind the chance to relax so that in the end we have really accomplished more. Dr. Godard listed two reasons why students make low grades on tests. The first is wandering. When the student reads the question on the test, she may write pages on the subject but entirely evade the direct ques tion to be answered. The second reason is that of interpreting the question incorrectly, thus answering a question which is not on the test at all. Dr. Godard explained that te.sts are not only peculiar to school but they are a part of everyday life and that we must do all our tasks well so that we may pass our final test. CHESSY CHATS (Continued from page S, col. 1) We are not in the habit of answer ing the phone every time it rings, but we do get quite a bit of copy that way. The other day we answered and a masculine voice said, “May I speak to Ophelia Lippard or Irene Gailes?” Sounds like a bit of two timing, girls, but you both were off the campus. The Davidsonian beat us to some of our thunder. They share in the glory of having to purchase so many Phy sical Culture magazines. We are proud of Sara and of Henry’s admiration. (By Associated Collegiate Press) “I think that the League of Na tions is one of the world’s best bets for peace, although I don’t think it would be good for the United States to enter it now due to the uncertainty of the European powers.” Dr. Ana- tole G. Mazor, new professor of his tory at Miami University, believes it would be better to stay in our own backward.
