It bears the inscription : "Freund- lichen Gruss-A. Einstein," which is translated, "Friendly Greeting."

Dean Carroll will meet the freshmen of the school of com merce in 103 Bingham at chapel neriod today.. Farrar House Includes a Theatre Two of the rooms in the P. C. Farrars' new home, out on the hill overlooking the golf course, have been built and lighted so that they can be transformed into a little theatre at a mo ment's notice. . - The Farrars are all interested in dramatics. Mr. Farrar is in charge of play production at the Chapel Hill, school : and he is talented as an actor, as the spec tators at "Agamemnon" in the Kenan stadium last year well re member. Miss Elizabeth Far rar, like her mother before her, distinguished herself in the dra matic organization at Wellesley College. She took the leading role in "Agamemnon" here, and last winter was with the Fritz Leiber repertoire company. This season she will be one of the Neighborhood Players in New York. . The Farrars' land out near the Country Club slopes steeply, and they accommodated their house to the ground by building it on different levels. Thus the topo graphy was, well adapted to the, plan, for a family theatre. Whether Mr. Farrar picked out sloping ground so that he could have a theatre, or designed the theatre because he had the slop ing ground this I do not know, and it is not important. The longliving room is on one level, and the dining room at the THIRTY-ONE GIRLS T PLEDGED BY TWO 1 SORORITIES HERE Sorority rushing began here Monday, October the sixth and ended Saturday evening, October the twelfth. Rushing hours were from three until six o'clock in the afternoon and from seven thirty until ten-thirty o'clock in the evening. The time between eleven o' clock Saturday evening and the distribution, through the office of the dean of women, Monday afternoon was a period of sil ence. The Pi Beta Phi pledge service was held Monday, Octo ber the fourteenth. Chi Omega announced yester day the pledging of: Hope Buck, Bald Mountain, N.

The opening between them I is like a proscenium arch and has a double curtain. And just above the arch, facing the dining room but invisible from the living room, are a row of lights. These will shine down upon the actors when a perform ance is on; thus, instead of hav ing footlights which would in terfere with them when they went to and from their meals in the ordinary daily routine the Farrars have overhead lighting. There is abundant provision for entrances and exits. Off at one end is a porch; at the back is a terrace ; and at the other end is the butler's pantry all con nected with the stage by doors. During the progress of ' a meal the lights over the arch are not turned on. But suppose somebody- should su'ddenly switch them on while Mr. Far rar was carving the chicken. Maybe, before he realized it, he would find himself rising from his chair to launch into Hamlet's soliloquy or some other appro priate speech. And if the thing happened when Miss Farrar was at home on a holidaywho knows but that she would clesert the tomato salad to deliver a little talk about the quality of mercy or the inconstant moon?
