SOCIETY REVELS SPRING FEVER
On Thursday evening, April the
eighteenth, Miss Mary Brewer cele
brated her sixteenth birthday by
flinging a wild party (as they do in
the cinemas) in her luxurious apart
ment, .306 Junior H.-ill, Salem Col
lege Place. Tlie smart collegiate
contingent were assembled in gala
ottire and formed a multicolored
panorama reminiscent of the famed
Poiret establishments (See Vogue,
p. 98, 99, 100, etc.)
Guy Lombardi’s Royal Canadians
furnished music for the affair, and
of course dancing was one of the
prime diversions of the evening.
Miss Brewer’s originality outdid
itself on this occasion when she
caused quite a furor by making rer
appearance not until twelve o’clock,
when she emerged from the center
of an enormous fancily iced birthday
cake—with sixteen golden candles on
it—all dressed in a gleaming cos
tume of gold. Then, in the glow
of a blue and gold spotlight, she
danced on the top of the huge
frosted cake—her newest specialty.
The Dance of the Seven Cocktail
Shakers. Her guests well nigh
deafened her with their appreciative
applause.
As favors the guests received carv
ed jade cigarette cases. Also, as a
part of the ceremony in several of
the famous games which were played,
they were bestowed with attractive
trifles, such as rhinestone tiarras,
garlands of orchids, etc.
Besides the constant flow of re
freshment which one found at the
black marble bar (Burgundy, Four
Roses, Scotch, Gordon’s Gin, Ba-
cardy, etc.), a delicious eight-course
supper was served at the far-famed
King Arthur table, in the Moonlight
With flowers blooming on tlie
impus and with the birds singing
the budding trees, the languou
characteristic of many young women
through the whole year and of otb-
it various periods has had a ten
dency to grow in its proportions dur
ing the past few days. Spring is
undoubtedly here, and so it seems is
spring fever.
There is certainly nothing wrong
about wandering through the sun-
flecked woods of April, or in stand
ing on the warm street corners of
the city watching for new spring
hats, provided the days’ work has
been carried out to a degree which
would make pleasures unaccompan
ied by any qualms of calling duty.
The importance of silencing those
calls before the pleasant pastime is
engaged in, however, should not be
under-rated. To be able to recall
at will the main features of tomor
row’s lessons is a fine thing and
^ends a stimulus to springtime indul
gences.
In April, there is a fine oppor
tunity for the training of the will.
To study when you don’t want to
study is a fitie thing, and one which
bears fruit in double proportion. The
lesson is learned and the spirit which
says “I will” is strengthened. Such
an opportunity to develop character
by means of overcoming great ob
stacles should at least be given a
thought before it is neglected.
N. C. C. P. A. MEETS
IN GREENSBORO
Tlie seventeenth semi-annual con
ference of the North Carolina Col
legiate Press association convenes at
Greensboro College for Women,
Greensboro, X. C., on Thursday, Fri-
d.iy and .Saturday of this week, April
18 to 20. Greensboro College, host
to the association, will be assisted
by her sister and rival institution—
\. C. C. W. in the entertainment of
the visting representatives from the
\arious colleges of the state.
During the convention four much
coveted loving cups will be awarded
to the best judged publications in
their respective fields in the state
during the past year—one to the
best college newspaper, one to the
paper producing the best editorials
for the year, one to the best college
Yearbook, and one to the best col
lege literary magazine during the
The Press Association met at
Duke University last year, at which
time H. L. Hester, then editor of
the Chronicle, was president of the
association. Last year the Chronicle,
for the second consecutive year,
awarded the cup offered for the best
college nwspaper in the state. The
Duke Archive, judged the best lit
erary magazine, was the recipient of
the award in that field. The 1927
number of Pine Needles, N. C. C.
W. annual received the decision as
the best Year book.
The officers of the Press Associa
tion, who were elected at the meet
ing here last spring are: Walter
Spearman, of Carolina, president

voice was especially beautiful in
Bassanet’s stirring “Vision Fugi
tive.” The plaintive old Scotch mel
ody “Turn Ye to Me,” and the ten
der pathos of “In My Attic” made
a deep appeal to the audience. “The

Caustic Criticism of
Present-Day Mothers
“We may talk all we choose about
how the world has changed, how civi
lization has advanced, and so on, but
the fact remains that the fundamen
tals have not changed one whit,”
declared Bishop Beatty in an ad-
“Today, just as it has been down
through the ages, the future of the
race depends upon the mothers of
the present. I fear for the future
because of these present-day moth
ers. They leave the children too
much to themselves and the lack of
proper guidance is developing de
plorable conditions.
“Too many mothers are like Mrs.
Blank of Park avenue, who called
her maid to her one day and said:
“ ‘F'ifi, look out the window. ' Is
that child mine or does it belong to
some neighbor? It’s been hanging
around here all day!’ ”
Knitting Craze Sweeps
Throiig-h Smith College
Northampton, Mass.—A knitting
craze has broken out like an epi
demic at Smith college.
The more severe manifestations
are as yet confined to dormitories,
but it is feared that campus and
classrooms may yet feel the effects
of the sweep. In its wake are found
such utilitarian articles as sweater
suits, rather than the more strictly
domestic comforter.
The most desolate locality in the
stricken houses is the dining room.
Students, according to a newly
passed regulation, are not allowed to
bring their knitting to meals, lest,
perchance, the yarn become confused
with the food, it said, including that
food with the Italian name.
The Victorian pastime is explained
by the victims, not as a return to
naive artlessness, but as a triumph
of sophistication.
When intensely angry and search
ing for a fitting word to express
yourself, say “Roosevelt,” which we
are reliably informed, is the biggest
dam in the world.—Exchange.

Women Hunters Into
Carolina Preserves
North Shell Island, S. C.—Capt.
W. D. Gaskill, who owns a shooting
lodge on this island, is making prep
arations to install facilities here for
visiting sportswomen.
F’or a great many years the Pam
lico sound o nthe coast of North
Carblina has been visited by sports
men who come here for goose, duck
and brant shooting. This season the
gathering has been augmented by a
number of prominent sportswomen
from the northern states.
A group of hunters have notified
Captain Gaskill that they expect to
bring their wives here next season
if he will make arrangements to ac
commodate them.
The average woman undoubtedly
utters more words per minute over
the telephone than the average man.
But, according to Dr. J. C. Stein
berg of the Bell Telephone labora
tories, she talks less distinctly. Dr.
K. S. Johnson of the same concern
comments that the sounds “th,” “f,”
and “v” are always diflieult to hear,
their blurring accounting for more
than half the errors made during
present day commercial telephoning.

Drugs in Modern Use
Familiar to Ancients
Thirty per cent of the drugs used
I by modern medicines were known to
remote antiquity, reveals Dr. Charles
n his book “A Short History
of Medicine,” published by the Ox
ford University Press.
The Egyptian medical papyri
mention, among other drugs, he
writes, “Aloes, caraway, castor oil,
coriander, dill, fennel, juniper, ii
myrrh, and turpentine. Among
Egyptian mineral remedies still in
salts of copper and lead.
Assyrian medical tablets refer to
St of the Egyptian drugs as well
to a number of others, among
which are almond oil, aniseed, gal-
banum and licorice. Among Assyr-
remedies that are used to this day
alum and bitumen.” Early In
