t spite of thermometer readings
and snow flurries, spring was the key-
note in gowns and decorations at the
Assembly Ball last night. Against a
background 'of spring flowers and
plants that banked the walls of the
League ballroom, the Grand March
swung into progress, led by Georgina
Karlson, '35, general chairman, and
her escort, Richard Shoupe, '38M. Miss
Karlson chose for the event a green
and brown printed crepe, cut on
simple lines. The low decolletage was
made in cowl style in the back.

peared in pastel shades, matching
the pale colors of the programs. Mau-

cess style with an off-the-shoulder ef-
fect. She attended with Joe McCann,
'36.
Turquoise blue crepe was selected
by Dorothy Jones, '36, chairman of
music and floor. Her gown was made
in tunic effect, with plaited straps
and square decolletage, and with it she
wore silver accessories. Miss Jones
was escorted by David DeWees, '38M.
Betty Cavender, '3, co-chairman of
music, wore a smart black net gown.
Ruching of the same material edged
the hem and the shoulder cape, and
a touch of color was provided by the
red rhinestone shoulder straps. John
Perkins, '36, attended with Miss Cav-
ender.
Jacket Frock
Ellen Brown, '36, chairman of tick-
ets, who was escorted by Hart Pierce,
'37, wore tea-rose crepe. The short

green lace gown was chosen by Alma
Wadsworth, '35Ed., program chair-
man, who attended with Elden A.
Scott, '35SM.
Reta Peterson, '35, chairman of
decorations, appeared in turquoise
blue pebble crepe, with vivid red ac-
cents in the clip and flowers at the
neck. Her escort was Walter Simons,
'36. The chairman of chaperones,

crepe with fur trimmed sleeves.

mittee, Virginia York, '36, finance

Last night's dance was the first ball
ever sponsored by non-affiliated wom-
en on campus. It is expected that it
will be an annual spring affair, fill-
ing the same place in the social cal-
endar of independents that the Pan-
hellenic Ball does for sorority women.

N(.4 Gwyn's Company's
Last Play Of Season
Wardens of the Nell Gwyn's Com-
pany of Players have sent out invi;
tations for the last presentation of
the season, "Engaged," a farcical
comedy by W. S. Gilbert, to be given
this Monday, at the Lydia Mendel-
sschn Theater.
"Engaged" was first produced in
1877 at the Haymarket Theatre, Lon-
don as an entirely original comedy.
It was one of Gilbert's earliest mas-
terpieces which may be characterized
as a Gilbert and Sullivan opera with-
out Sullivan and without music. Gil-
bert wrote "Engaged" before his col-
,)oration with Sullivan. and Oscar
Wilde acknowledged the fact that it
was a masterpiece by stealing liberally
fromi the play for "The Importance
of Being Earnest."
The Nell Gwyn's company of play-
ers is composed of faculty members
and townspeople organized solely for
the purpose of reviving forgotten mas-
terpieces of the English and American
stage. "Engaged" will be the 11th pro-
duction of the organization to con-
clude its fifth successive season. Prof.
Howard Mumford Jones of the Eng-
lish department, director of the last
play, "Love for Love" by Congreve,
also will direct the production of
"Engaged." The Nell Gwyn's Com-
pany has produced such 18th and
19th century plays as "Beaux Stra-
tgem" by Farquar, "She Would If She
Could" by Etheredge, "Fashion" by
Mrs. Cora Mowett, and "The London
Merchant" by George Lillo.
The cast selected to play the roles
in "Engaged" consists of Professor
Jones, Karl Litzenberg, Robert Adams,
3, Eleanor Johnson days of the Coolidge dollar, and ad- s$ nnounc1JeU11LUUt

'Caney]Players
Give Program
HereTonight
S.C.A. Sponsors Kentucky
Mountain Group In Lane
Hall At 8 P.M.
A program which will be based
rfbon an open forum discussion about
the situation and sociological condi-
tions of the people living in the
"heart" of the Kentucky mountains
will be given by the Caney Creek
Players at 8 p.m. tonight in Lane Hall
Reading Room under the auspices
of the Student Christian Association.
In addition to conducting the dis-
cussion, the Players will give many
brief local color sketches of events
that have happened in the mountains.
Various members of the Players have
written original plays which give
much of the folk-lore surrounding
"one of the picturesque regions of the
nation."
"Civic organizations, educational
clubs, schools and colleges all over
the country have received these
mountaineers with great enthusiasm,"
S.C.A. officials stated. "But the real
purpose of the Players is to acquaint
the general population of America
with the sad plight of the people liv-
ing in one of the most backward parts
of our country."
In the past few years the Caney
Creek Players have raised enough
funds to keep a school open. It is
the first time the mountain popula-
tion has had a chance to acquire any
of the benefits open to most Amer-
icans.
In addition to keeping schools
open, providing better means of com-
munication, fostering public health,
and bettering sociological conditions
generally, the Players have built and
improved many homes in the region
for the people.

out light. And there is a proper amount of light
for every seeing task. Of course, you could read
by the light of an open fireplace. But it strains
vision and does much more damage than our
eyes tell us. The few simple rules which follow
form a good guide to adequate home lighting.
In the table or floor lamp next to )our easy
chair, you should have correct size lamp bulbs
-."WAT'TS." If it is a three-socket lamp, there
should be 40 watts in each socket; if a two-
socket lamp, 60 watts in each socket; if a one.
socket lamp, 100 watts. All lamps in your house
should have SHADES to prevent GLARE.
Whenever possible, use shades with light-col-
ored linings to get the most light. (Wide shades,
open at the top, are best.) Finally, have at least
one-tenth as much light in the rest of the room as
you have on your book, newspaper, sewing, etc.
