CO-EDS SERIOUS 1
ABOUT LEAP YEAR
And Some Ten Thousand
Male Students at California
University are Wondering
Just What They'll Do.

Berkeley, California Feb. 29. ?
Some i**n thousand male students of
the University of California are
Kazing thoughtfully today In the
direction of four thousand fair, un
verslty co-eds and asking themselves,
"do they mean it?"
Coincidentally, many of them are
-checking over their available cash
reserve and future sources of sup
ply, and pondering the bromide
that "two can live as cheaply' as
one."
These cogitations are all because
of the March issue of the Pelican, of
ficial college magazine, which ap
peared on the news stands today.
The newest issue of "Pelly" as it is
familiarly known, surpasses the old
appellation orf being "new, novel and
up to date," In more ways than one.
If its utterances are to be taken se
riously ? and those who contributed
to it say they are ? it furnishes all
male Btudents their first intimate
insight into the co-ed trend of
thought on love and marriage since
flapperism first commenced to
change feminine ways.
To start with, it is the official
"leap year number." And to be in
keeping with such a title it has been
written, edited and published en
tirely by girl students.
"Go ahead and ask 'em girls ?
there is no reason for being bash
ful or backward," is the tenor of the
Pelican this month.
There are a couple of articles that
point out that leap year now is and
always was intended to give old
maids and all maids a chance.
Even the cover page is suggestive
of the same theme. It depicts a
model man with Valentino lock and
mudguards, poised on the out
stretched palm of a beautiful co-ed
whose other hand is reaching for
ward with fingers poised for a quick j
grab. Cost of living, child hygiene j
and other subjects kindred to mar
riage are discussed in prose' and!
verse. One perfectly metered ,
"pome" entitled "The Proposal"
tells how the girls think It should be
done. It reads:
"Oh, I'm to be wed- in the spring1
time. i
When the first wee violets bloom;
And my love and I will live for aye.
In a couple of furnished rooms.
And I told him that I loved him.
And could I have his heart?
Oh, the roses bent to listen, %
And he said 'til deatft do us part'
It was dark in the little spring!
house
And I know that I'm to wed.
But I wish I'd had a flashlight,
Was it Jack or Bill or Fred?"

Copyright, 1924. by Th? Advance
Paris, Feb. 29 ? One gorgeous
wedding gown shown here today Is I
of silver cloth, with a girdle of the
cloth circling the hips. The gown,
which Is ankle length, is made with
almost tailored severity, but a gra-i
cious effect is given by the sheer
tulle veil and a wide crown of
orange blossoms.
London, Feb. 29. ? Not the;
least beautiful at the plaids which
have come in with the "Scotch"
season is of violet and green, with
a stripe of black and a touch here
and there of yellow. In silk, this"
is effectively used for afternoon !
frocks; in wool, for golf skirts.
London, Feb. 29 ? A flounce of I
heading of bead embroidery Is a!
brilliant finish in an all-white
dance frock recently worn here, I
The wide bead "hem" is In manyl
colors, and serves not only to beau-|
tify but also by Its weight to keep
the filmy full skirt In place.
