Saturday, October 26, 1929. THE SALEMITE PAGE THREE m SOCIETY a MISS COVINGTON HOSTESS Last Tuesday evening Miss Cov ington liad as lier guests the mem bers of the Sociology classes. Upon their arrival, they took part in a very attractive guessing contest, in which Kathleen Arrowood and Carolyn Brinkley were the most successful. Each was rewarded with a dainty bottle of perfume. Elizabeth Stroud was given a pair of tortoise-shell glasses as consolation. At the conclusion of the contest the guests were invited into the din ing room to cut the large birthday cakes. Ruth Rozzelle, on account of the nearness of the date of her birth day to that of the party, was chosen to blow out the candles—only to learn that six years must elapse be fore she can hope to hear wedding bells ringing for her. However, when the cake was cut, she was as sured that the bells would ring— even though the date of their peal ing is six-years hence—for she found the button. Nell Reeves and Kath leen Arrowood also were assured of “getting a man”—each found a ring in her slice of cake. Nona Raper and Virginia Pfohl, upon finding keys in their pieces of cake learned that the fates have preachers re served for them. Virginia is to be a rich one, too: she found the dime, a sure sign of wealth. Stroud would do well to save her pair of glasses so easily and conveniently obtained, for the needle fell to her, showing that much of her future time is to be spent in sewing. THETA DELTA PI The initiation ceremony of the Theta Delta Pi sorority was culmin ated last Saturday night with formal banquet, in the private dining room of the Robert E. Lee Hotel. Lighted green tapers in chrystal ' candle-sticks, unusual place cards and favors, and-aw-artistk-'ftor*! terpiece gave the tables a most tractive appearance. liacli guest found at her place a package of French paper bearing the Theta Del ta Pi coat-of-arms. Thenew mem bers received onyx rings also bearing the sorority seal. Mrs. Conrad Lemly, alumna, chaperone. The members present were ^ Raper, Charlotte Grimes, Lucile Hassell, Eva Hackney, Elizabeth Allen, Anna Holderness, Martha Pierce, Pat Holderness, Shuford Carlton, Araminta Sawyer, and Lou ise Salsbury. The absence of the usual alumnae was due chiefly to the attraction of the Carolina-Georgia game. PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC STUDENTS HONORED AT TEA On Tuesday afternoon, from four until six o’clock, Miss Helen Fuller was hostess at a tea for her Public School Music students. The table displayed a delightfully unique tea- set, with an elephant design. Re freshments consisted of sandwiches, tea, fudge, and tarts.

Following the dinner a short bus iness meeting was held in which of ficers were elected. Then the guests were presentd with small books of blank paper in which each girl wrote another’s biography.

Tell them something specifi cally you can do, and then you have a chance of selling your services. I read just a few days ago of a young college graduate who applied for a position, and when asked what her special leanings were, said ::I’d like to settle the dispute between capi tal and labor.” Another one said she’d like to manage the store. Bless their great, little hearts! “That’s a fine ideal to hitch your ambition to, but you’ve simplT got to start at the bottom and then stick! Don’t curl u pand die. If you give up, then we’ve got to replace you. To do that costs the store money, for we have to take our time and other employee’s time in training you. Until you are fully competent to do your work intelligently then you are a liability to any concern. But let me say this—If you have grit, intelligence, determination and stick-to-it-iveness, your college edu cation is going to give you a marked advantage over the person without such training. “Finally, department stores seeking exceptional girls of grit and determination, workers, not playi idefgraph in Mt.

You can’t take your diploma in one hand and grab an executive position of any import ance with the other. But there are lots of college graduates who can’t see that. They walk right out of college into some office and say “I want this” or “I want that.” All right, begin at the bottom of the tree; climb up and get what you want. Remember this, when you go to apply for a position—you must have something to offer in return for your salary. One of the first things an employer wants to know is what you can do. So often when that question is asked, the reply is, “Oh, anything.” Well, that’s all wrong. No one can fill that bill.

Here, Mr. Vardell played the area which is sung by the peasant girl as tries to win back her lover. Then Mr. Vardell played from the s in which Don Juan receives his just deserts. A marvelous thing is done in this opera. It is mostly intrigue, plot and counterplot, but at the end, the music acquires a seriousness and a dramatic power. Tliis opera is a mixture of the opera seria and buflfa. To create the atmosphere of solem nity, Mozart used the trombones, then quite new. In Mozart’s hands, the opera of fered wonderful possibilities, but in the hands of Italian composers there was a grand decadence. There no opera but the Italian opera and this was widely spread. So busy were the musicians of Italy in send ing out their works that they failed to import anything new of musical value. There were geniuses but they never studied. Of these men, Ros sini, Donizetti an dBellini are best Rossini composed very quickly. It is said that he wrote the “Barber of Seville” in thirteen days and is a great work.' In this, opera buflfa is at its best. The composer wanted marv'elous vocal solos, and he got them. Rossini had a knowledge of the theatre and he produced wonder ful stage effects. At times his sing ing parts are beautiful, but empty. At tlio opening of “The Barber of Seville,” the Count lias hired some servants to serenade his lady love. They slink out on the stage.

The majority of the writers of French opera were not of that coun try, but were men who had gone to Paris to study and were so influenced by the French tastes that tliey wrote for the F’rench people. The best known of these writers were Rossini and Spontini, Italians, and Meyer beer, a German Jew. At this time, the Romantic move ment was beginning. Whereas seri ous opera had gone back to. dignified tragedy, the Romantic operas were written on Greek mythology, folk lore and the stories of the crusades. Meyerbeer took advantage of this cliangc. His works are a strange mixture—one time he used a German chorale for the French Huguenote’ song as they struggle against the Catholics.
