She-went to all of the dances at V. P. I. this past -vveek-end, saw all of the cute people, and dated all of the cutest ones! Lilian Smith spent Saturday and Sunday at her home in Cooleemee. Virginia Lee spent Sunday with Con Maslin. Did you have an ex citing day Va.?

OFF-CAMPUS TATTLER Although spring lioliday.s at Salem are just approaching, for many Caro lina schools they have come and gone. Happy reunions were held within the city by old school friends, and everyone had lots of fun. The only real trouble that resulted from these reunions was that matter of getting up on a cold, gray morning after a hectic ‘ ‘ night before. ’ ’ The day .students can tell you all about that queer feeling. Deserting tliia rainy elime for sun- iiy Virginia weather, Sara Ingram spent the week-end at South Hill Va. Ineideutally, the mysteriaus “D. B.” Sara is quite interested in, also lives there. Bessie Lou Bray spent the week end at home in Newton. BUSINESS STAFF Business Manager Agnes Brown Adv.

Mgr Rachel Carroll ....Mary Ruth Elliot CORRECT APPROACH TO EASTER HOLIDAYS When the rigorous plan of the school term was laid out, certain pa thetically brief but gloriously event ful days were set apart and called Eastvr holidays. This hajipy inter lude is enshrined in every Salem girl’s heart, and if she is normal, she is jealous of her right to spend them as she pleases. Indeed so al luring and brilliant is the halo that surrounds them that we are a])t to Mindly overlook the very beautiful approach to them that the Home Moravian Church provides. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday uiglits wo can, iC we only will, gain real spiritual values from the simple and brief services that are held there. The story of Christ’s life on each partic ular day is read without comment, and hymns are sung at intervals. A sini]>le dignity and a (uiet sense Ilf fellowship pervades the whole service that is very appealing, and you will come away greatly refresh ed. Garnelle Rainey went home this past week-end and also do\*i to the gardens in South Carolina. News is .short this week but only because Easter vacation is just a stone’s throw away. Kveryone seems to be saving up for that time. So with no more news there is no more fun and no more puns. HEARD ABOUT SENIORS I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER!, Sitting on the sunny steps of Lou isa Bitting after lunch. Visiting the Downs. Once watching a Freshman in the Iirocess of falling asleep on the front '(iw in chapel. Kating lunch one day behind scenes with Miss Stockton! Hearing Dr. Rondthaler chuckle in r.ible (Jlass.

Cantor. {’okey fM-eston sallied forth to Durham, to Duke to dance to the innsic of Isham .Tones. Of course we knew she would have a. grand tinie —but we’d like to hear her talk about it—and we would have liked to be in her shoes. Xow we know .lulie Lee is not sick yet she went home to see a doctor (pardon us, her doctor!) Poor Dot, she certainly has borne the jeers of her friends cour ageously—but imagine their surprise when Dot got into the sweater! Poor Babbie! Poor Pat! Poor Fanny Hill! All set to go to Waynesville for the week-end and the clouds had to burst ii]ion their drajinis. Don’t you all worry—there will be jilenty of time after Easter. We wonder why Emma 1). is so anxious to go home for the liolulays? and why she is so atten tive whenever anyone nu'ntions De troit, Warren or a doctor? Jane and .\nii W’a\dor had ]>acked .‘ind were ready to go to Chapel Hill when- thcir ])lansfc were cancelled and so in stead they stayed home and studied. Despite that cough of hers, Martha Neal had a grand week-end and was all set to go to a polo game—then along came the rain. Mary Penn and Betty ’I’uttle are recu|>erating in the infirmary—when last seen and heard the former was combating hay-fever, the latter a terrible cough. Florence MacCanless went to Mt. Airy with Doctor Farrington and her family was also here for the week-end. Grace Carpenter had din ner at Mrs. Haywoods while Martha Xeal dined at Mrs. Scott’s. Babble Way is “Idoling” about during the dinner hours lately, while Frances Adams chose Percy Idol with whom to go to the show Saturday night. Ann Taylor went out with Mr. Kerr to Mrs. Traber’s Saturday night. Ha! What’s this? A celebrity in our midst* Katherine Sisell has been holding out on us. On the society page of last week’s “Greenville Daily E.xpress there appeared a large photograph of Miss Sisell. Very nice things were said in the caption underneath, too. For only being in Greenville for two days, Katherine does v'erv well. Jane Nading, whose heart’s not in the Highlands but may possibly be at State College, went to Raleigh over the week-end.

But everytime we come in late We’ve quarrelled with the date.’’ WATCH THE WORLD JAPAN Last Week .Tapan’s resignation from the League of Nations became effective.

CANADA One of the Rotunda. (Farmville, Va. paper), headlines reads: “Col lege Choir Elects Miss Bugg Spon sor.” They’re in a bad way when they resort to bugs at Farmville. Bad on the craps, too. Rev.

The smartest fabrics are lace, chif fon, net, printed satin and taffeta. Someone very daring will probably try one of the new draped evening gowns that swathe. If that sounds too extreme go for something float ing. Take fullness, sweeping at the back. Or take fullness, sweeping at the front. Or fullness, floating all around. Picturesque dresses have not vanished, but they are not so pom pous — more gaily Marie Aiitoinette. We saw one Roman-striped taffeta with a square low neck, white organ die sleeves and blue ribbon draw strings. Peppermint candy-striped taffeta with a double breasted bod ice is another one quite up to the minute. White is decidedly the leader of the night fashions. Mauve and orchid are coming out of the attic. Pink— a fragile but warm shade — and sweet-pea colors will be seen con trasted with violent gay flower prints. Amber and mushroom-grey are perfect for a select few~but be careful with “off-shades. ” Details of the evening modes should not be overlooked. Have you heard about these?
