by the Student Christian Association

dent.
Rev. Mr. Marshall was introduced
to the college students and faculty
by Dr. S. C. Byrd in Monday morn
ing chapel. His chapel talk was
based on a scripture reading taken
from the last chapter of the Phil-
lipian letter. Giving the secrets of
obtaining peace, he listed three rules.
First, to worry about nothing be
cause no Christians have a right to
worry. Second, he said to pray about
everything, becjiu.se nothing is too
minute and insignificant. Third, he

Redecoration
Reception Room, Office And
Gamma Hall Are Being
Refurnished Now
Interest in the furnishings of
Burwell Hall has been rekindled by
receiving a gift of money for the
express purpose of refurnishing the
furniture in one of the parlors, the
reception hall and in the office of the
dean of women. The accomplish
ment of this project will make these
newly furnished rooms decorated and
furnished in a consistent manner with
the one parlor which was elegantly
furnished last year.
A cursory glimpse or outline of
the plans will give an idea of what
will be expected when this project
is completed in another week’s time.
The main reception room will be
furnished in heavy lawson pieces up
holstered in brown leather combined
with a couch and several chairs of
aqua stick willow. An aqua taTSTe on
which will be a large lamp will be in
the center of the room. The fireplace
will contain large new andirons. A
long aqua piece of pottery will be
placed on the mantle ledges.
The parlor will carry out the
eighteenth century plan of furnish
ings. The draperies are to be very
liandsome of a beige self-figured ma
terial trimmed in multi-colored wool
en fringe hanging from under ivory
cornices containing a motif of red ivy
leaves. The couches and chairs in
this room will be arrjinged in con
versational groups. An eighteenth
century living room table will have
placed on it Ji lovely lamp and sev
eral Italijin pottery pieces. Several
end tables with lamps and two floor
lamps will be used in the room. Tones
of aqua combined with compliment
ary colors will assure attractiveness.
The office of the dean of women will
possess £i new grayed-blue-green rug.
The window treatment will include
Venetian blinds and draperies of beige
rough textiired material woven in
strips of coral and aqua tones. Color
in this office will be accentuated by
contrast of two coral lejither chairs
with the aqua rug. The aqua stick
willow pieces of furniture used in
the main reception room and in the
office will be made attractive with gay
floral linen covered cushions which
will einj)hasize aqual tones. With the

setting of a large lobby and two
very hirge reception rooms will be
made handsome and attractive for
the.use of students and faculty.
