attended by dormItories, sororities
and league horises'as groups, will oc-
cur at 5 o'clock, followed at 6:30 by
the Pageant portraying the race of the
fleet-footed Greek maiden, Atlanta. A
dance drama presented by the upper-
class women for tye purpose of arous
ing a greater interest in dancing will
be substituted for the usual class
stunts, this year. The procession pro-
per will immediately follow.
Because of the excavations for the
erection of the women's field house, it
has been necessary to change the line

Select Sudermann 's
Play For Production
Following a tradition which was be-
gun several years ago, the annual
Senior Girls' play will be presented
th'is year Friday .Tune, 17. According
to cust"'m it will be given immediately
following the Senior breakfast, which
will be held in the Union ball room.

Away Princess", a one act play by
Iermann Sudermann. The scene of
the play is laid in the mountains of
Germany, and:th'. parts will be taken
by eight Senior l~women. It is a de-
lightful, light and interesting comedy
and promises to be very entertaining.

FRESHMEN SHOW
SKILL INDANCING

Artistic dancing and skilful manage-
ment were dispalyed in the first com-
plete rehearsal of the freshman pa-
geant held Thursday afternoon. The
dancers, trained byi Miss Janet Cum-
mings of the women's physical educa-
tion department, followed the pro-
gram of twelve numbers, about which
is woven the story of Atlanta's race
with her suitors, without any serious
breaks in the continuity of the p'erfor-
mance.
Due to the fact that a majority of
the participants in the pageant have
had previous instruction in natural
dancing in the gmynasium classes.
Miss Cummings has in three weeks
been able to perfect the dance num-
bers and work them into the ancient
Greek background with its portrayal
of the athletic games of that age.

Here are fashions most suited to
campus needs, including that very important requisite
of "something chic." , And since youth and campus activities are
being served, it's the sportlike mode which predominates. Swagger lines,
colorful fab:ics and animating details make these garments almost breezy
in appearance. Angular placing of pleats, jacket styles, sweater modes and
other points of fashion are significant throughout our entire collection.
THE JACKETED FROCK

Many of the sports frocks take a jacket unto themselves,
of matching fabric and color. While, on the other hand,
there is the separate jacket of flannel, to wear with the
sweater, or blouse anid skirt, or over plain or printed
( one-piece frocks. These may be had in most any shade,
and are sometimes sleeveless. Jacketed frocks, $14.75 up.
Flannel Jackets, $6.95. Separate skirts, $6.95 up.
The Sweater Dress is one of the most
