The Japanese Kiniona.7
By Ruth Long, '29
"No, the styles in Japan do not
hange very much," smiled both Lu-
ile and Catherine Otsuka, Japanese
;tudents at the University, in answer
:o the question put them.
"At least, not 'as your American
nes do. We always wear the kimona.
sometimes the ends of our sleeves
ire long and hang nearly to the floor.
sometimes they are short. But mostly,
the change comes just in materials

"Are styles in one part of the
;ountry different from those in the
)ther?" I asked.
"No our climate is much the same

Theta Sigma Phi
Holds Initiation,
Initiation services for its four new-

>f members of Theta Sigma Phi, na-
ional honorary journalistic society
or women, at its meeting last Tues-
lay night. Margaret Arthur, '29,
Mlaine Gruber, '29, and Marjorie He-
witt, '28, were admitted into mem-
)ership at that time, and Mrs. Doro-
hy Desmond was made an honorary
nember.
Following the initiation, a brief re-
iew of the work of Bert Leston Tay-
or, famed "colyumist" of the Chicago
Pribune, was presented by Sylvia c.

S'he slipped on the kimona, a

Coals Hang Straight
"I will show you the coat, too,"
and she slipped it over the kimona,
tucking the square, bag-like ends of
the one into the similar but larger
ends of the other. "You see, it is
made just like the kimona, but that
it is shorter and hangs perfectly
straight."
"But what are those small, flower-
like things in circles that are em-
broidered in gold, here on each sleeve
and in the middle of the back?" I
asked.
Both women puzzled a moment.
"Family marks, I think you would
call them," at last ventured one.
"They are like your coat of arms,
or family seal. Ours is the Japanese
carnation and we wear it always on
our coats andon wedding dresses."
The Japanese wedding dress is
beautiful and graceful, made of heavy
silk or satin richly embroidered. Al-
though the "obi" is worn tied in a
large decorative bow in back, the
skirt is permitted to remain loV,
forming a graceful train. That is as
it has been. The European fashions
are gradually taking the place of the
old picturesque styles.

less expensive and has been adopted
by many of the people. Business wo-
men have taken on European dress.

bobbed hair too is growing in popu-
larity, though the married woman
still distinguishes herself with great
rolls and puffs, from the unmarried
girl. .
"But, it really all depends on the
family," said Catherine. "Some of
them permit bobbed hair, short skirts
and European styles. We conform
with the desire they express.

It reached slightly above the ankle.
"When it rains we wear wooden
shoes, a pair of high thin boards that
raise us above the ground like stilts,"
concluded Catherine.
"You see, our streets get so mud-
dy," supplemented Lucy, smiling.

country are working for prohibition,

PECULATED BY POINThI
At a recent meeting of the point
system committee of the Women's
League several statements were made
as to qualiications of University wom-
en to take part in campus activities.
These qualifications have not been ad-
hered to by a great many women who
have participated in campus work so
far this year.
No woman-can take part in any cam-
pus work who is not eligible on ac-
count of her scholarship standing. A
great many times women who are
eligible are placed on committees by
committee heads who are ignorant of
this fact. However as soon as they
II
become acquainted with this know-
ledge they should come to Barbour
gymnasium and take the names off
their lists of women who are eligible.
New Women Must Get Permission.

hered to this semester is that all new

"This fall season I have already
visited the 148 schools of the county,
and I manage to see every teacher
once a month. The eight groups into -
which the teaching staff is divided
meet monthly, and carry out the same
program.',
"I have 3,000 children," Miss Hayes
said, " and I have succeeded in be-
coming acquainted with most of them
this fall. Getting to know the chil-
dren is one of the great problems, for
the personal side of education is of
the highest importance."
Miss Hayes aims to lessen the pres-
ent isolation of the rural school by
unifying them into one great whole.
Her program also includes the im-
provement of teaching technique.
"Several counties in the state have
begun to elect women school commis-
sioners," said Miss Hayes, "and I be-
lieve that the next few years will see
a considerable increase followed by a
more complete relization of women's
exceptional capabalities in that direc-
tion."j
