It's like a game -you try to match up a person's characteristics and peculiarities with a book. For instance, "Men. Against Death" by Paul Krul, who wrote "Microbe Hunters," is a grand book for mostly everyone with emphasis on those who enjoy discussing life. There's a new novel by John Erskine, for those' who like John Erskine and I do. "Forgive Us Our Trespasses," by a Lloyd C. Douglas, a minister at our Great University some 20 years ago, is simply ideal for Aunt Minnie. "Wild Pilgrimage," wood- cuts by Lynd Ward (remember "God's Men" and "Madman's Drum"?) would be wildly appre- ciated by the artistic soul on the list, and anyone else with a glim- erance of imagination. Just about this time when everybody is getting a little tired of doing the same thing over and over again and you wish that there was some way different of ending things up with a bang be- fore vacation, along comes our faithful League with and open house on Thursday that really should be -a knock-out. Every- thing, excepting food, is absolute- ly free including a play that Val- entine B. Windt of Play Produc- tion will present. It's called "The Flattering Word," a satire by George KellW in which we learn what is the one real compliment that never fails. The gameroom on the first floor will be intro- duced and if' you can't find some- thing to amuse you in ping-pong, bridge, billiards, chess, backgam- mon and everything else imagin- able-it's your faul. And in the ballroom, Nilsa Saliva and her brother Gustavo Saliva will dem- onstrate how they tango in May- aguezo, Porto Rico. The grill will be: open for refreshments and dancing too. Don't forget all this is for men too. See you there December 15. 1 know a place where the gos- pels of beauty are really spread and lived up to. The flifeetia Beauty Shop on State has always been very popular among us "col- litch" girls. Just try to step into the place on a Friday night if you don't believe me. The nice thing about it is that you get sincere beauty instruction not just a pat- ter. For instance a permanent is never recommended unless the old one is well grown out. Perma- nents too close together is the cause of most of the evils that befall hair. In the Christmas rush for gifts, don't forget about yourself. Dur- ing the holidays you will undoubt- edly attend many social functions. You will want to look your best. Re- member to stock up on your cos- metic supply from the Fifth Ave- nue Shop in the Arcade. How about the powder that was blend- ed to match your skin, are you running low on rouge or eye- shadow that was made for your own personal colorings? Better take inventory. Look your very best when you sten off the train this vacation and let the homefolks rediscover you. Nothing peps up the ward- robe more, and consequently your- self, than a becoming hat and the Robert's Hat Shop on E. Liberty is showing some of the brightest wooly little turbans imaginable. And what they don't do to freshen up winter clothes is a miracle. Do you know that they make hats for you to correspon.d with dresses? And their little metallic turbans are nice with your Sunday night dress. There's a nice friendly atmos- phere at the Jane Egan shop on S. U. There's a fire blazing and tea served every afternoon at 4, and little Miss-Egan is a charming hostess. Her display of costume jewelry make nice gifts. A three- piece set of dull gold and pearl can be sold separately for a dollar a piece and a barbaric snaky necklace and bracelet at the same price are grand for day wear. Furthermore Miss Egan can order anything for you from her partner in Chicago. WINTER LINGERIE features WARM 0 1 PAJAMAS TUflWRITI r.. ORTAB"I: New, Seoond-Bazd Rebil t, 54S. State St., Ann Arbor.
