The Freshman Spread is one of the social traditions among University women. Every year, the sophomores act as hostesses at this affair which is given with the aim of making enter- I ing University women feel more a vit.* al part of their school and of giving the new women an opportunity to meet the upperclasswomen as well as their own classmates. Junior advis- ors are expected to escort their fresh- nmmn to the party tonight and senior 'women on the campus will be honor gpets. Freshman women who have not heard from their junior advisor are invited to come to the Spread any- *ey. When the enrollment of women in t e University was comparatively smaller than at the present time, an All-campus spread was given by some of the faculty women In an effort to Slleviate the feeling of homesickness among new women. The Spread de- Avloped from this into an annual cus- - tom and is given in the same spirit. 4The party this evening, following the usual custom, will be a formal af- fair. The grand march which is scheduled to begin at 9 o'clock will be led by Jean Kyer, '27, chairman of the Freshman Spread. Favors will be distributed during the march by! %M44arriet Abbot, '27, chairman of the favor contmittee. Jean Buck's or- 'chestra will furnish music for the dancing.

Reva Allen, '26, is chairman of the committee which is composed Of the folldwing women: Elizabeth Hayes, 2 25, Marjorie Weber, '27, Helen Leon- ard, '25, Louise Carlisle, '26, Frances Hinkley, '26, Frances Penoyer, '26,1 and Helen Hebauf, 26. Contrary to custom, a method of personal solocitation will be used, each committee member being respon- I ible' for from 10 to 12 organized !houses. The work, which was start-' ed the first of this week, wil continue through the first half of next week . ,nd a report of sales made will be given at a committee meeting which 2ti11 be held at '4 o'clock Wednesday at Newberry hall. The idea of the Red Cross stamp did not come to the United State un- til 1907, in spite of the fact that it was originated in 1903 in Denmark. The idea first came to Einar Hol- boell, a postal clerk in a small town of Denmark, on Christmas Eve, after he had watchehd for days the waste! of Christmas stamps. His spirit aroused men of distinction and a com- mittee was formed. Many mail clerks agreed to work overtime in order to sell the seals. The plan was so well' liked by the people of Denmark, that, it soon spread to other countries and as a result it is practically a univer- sal custom today. Subsiribe for The Michigan Daily Costumer Comments On Opera S t y l e s A beautiful gown worn by a woman without natural grace and poise can never be shown off to advantage, ac- codling to Mrs. Lester, wife of the designer and costumer for the Michi- gan Union Opera. Mrs. Lester be- lieves that certain gowns are made for certain individuals and only those types can give the desired effect when the gown is worn. Mrs. Lester is a partner in her hus- band's business and is in Ann Arbor assisting in the fitting and alterations of the costumes which will be worn by the men in the Opera. "The co- tumes aid in making a play spectacu- lar and attractive," said Mrs. Lester "but they alone can never make' a play. A good producer, perfect light" ing effects and other smaller details are important in giving the atmos- phere and desired effect to the gowns on the stage." "Of course," said Mrs. Lester, when referring to the costumes for this' year's Opera, which are Chinese and modern in style, "the Chinese designs have been and still are in vogue but the presen-t trend of fashion for wo- men today has a tendency to lean more toward the Spanish for inspira~ tion and ideas." The Lester company in' Chicago oc- cupies two entire floors of a building located on the Loop. They study each individual who comes to them for costuming and offer them the service of suggestions for costuming which will suit their particular type. Les- ter company carries a complete line of ready-to-wear costumes, rentals and made-to-order costumes. Artists in .their employ sketch the designs, the work being done in this build- ing. Special display rooms are also included in these offices. "The Opera this year," declared Mrs. Lester, "is more beautiful,' more spectacular than ever before. "I imagine the audience will get more humor out of the lines this year while' some of the special dancing is te' best I have ever seen. The singing this year, is also better than it has been in the past. As for the gowns' they are artistic and gorgeous. They carry out the Chinese and modern styles. In addition to all this, the Opera has the producer, the lighting effects and the other details that all go in making up a truly artistic pto- duction." Life Saver Gives Tests To WonOn Various principles to be observed in life saving were presented and demonstrated to students of the pro- fessional school of physical 'educa- tion by Mr. A. S. Mareau of Chicago, a life saver from the central divion of the National Red Cross, yesterday at the Y. M. C. A. His demonstration included a novel method of floating, an easy method of carrying three per- sons at one time, and other features. Mr. Mareau also gave life-saving tests to six of the women. LAST JUNIORPLAY TY 300 WOMEN HAVE SIGNED TO TRY OUT IN THE EXTRAj SESSION From 9 to 12 o'clock, today, in Sarah Caswell Angell hall, the last opportunity will be given for junior women to try but for the Junior Girls' play.
