Members of the faculty and alumni
were entertained last night in the
Union bllroom at a dance given in
their honor by the Faculty Women's
Club. The entertainment was the
second of a series of six planned by
the club for this year.
The partly dimmed ballroom was
filled with nearly 100 couples, danc-
ing under the colored lights to the
strains of Bob Steinle's Union Or-
chestra.
Mrs. Jainison In White
. .Mrs. Charles L. Jamison, chairman
of the dance committee, looking very
gracious in white, welcomed the
guests at the door during the earlier
part of the evening and was later re-
leved by Mrs. Laurence Stuart, who
was in a dark green gown trimmed
with gold.
Other members of the committee
seen were Mrs. George M. Ehlers in
taffeta of chocolate brown with a
tiny gold desigp. and matching orna-
ments; andMrs. Carl Huber in a
royal blue gown with a halter neck
and low back.
Among the dancers were Prof. and
Mrs. Arthur Aiton, Mrs. Aiton wear-
ing black uncut velvet and white; Dr.
and Mrs. Herbert W. Emerson; Prof.
and Mrs. Preston E. James, Prof.
and Mrs. Floyd Firestone.
Stunning Gowns
Mrs. Emerson looked stunning in
a white crepe evening gown with a
belt of brilliants and a spray of
flowers in pastel shades ornamenting
the neck. Mrs. James' gown was of
black and gave off irridescent lights
when she walked. Mrs. Firestone
wore emerald green trimmed in gold.
Miss Jean Kyer, former golf cham-
pion in flame color, was also on the'
dance floor.
Several dinners were given be-
fore the dance. Mr. and Mrs. Fran-
cis Ross entertained six guests who
later attended the dance.dMr. and
Mrs. Waterman. gave a dinner for
eight, and Prof. and Mrs. George M.'
Ehlers also entertained.
Install Tables
For Dances In
Union Ballroom
Starting tonight, tables will be in-
stalled in the Union ballroom forI
the weekly Union dances and a floore
show will be featured nightly, execu-
tive council men announced last
night.
Tables were placed in the ball-
room, Union men explained "in orderI
to inject a cabaret atmosphere into
the regular dances." Reservations
for tables will be taken at the Union
desk, and it was stated that it would
be adviseable to make such reserva-I
tions early because only a limited
number of tables were installed.
The regular Union band led by1
Bob Steinle will be featured at the
dances, and the floor show will con-t
sist of comedy skits, dancing, andt
other kinds of entertainment. i
The rule regarding smoking in theI
ballroom will be relaxed officials said.
Prominent Athletes
Honored By W.A.A.
The W.A.A. has finally decided its
more proficient members deserve a
place in the sun. At least, the
maidenly athletes are going to get
their pictures prominently displayed.
A six-by-four foot bulletin board
arrangement will be given the tasks
of framing, supporting, and separat-
ing the pictures. Boldly painted in
blue and yellow, it bears the legend,
"W.A.A. Honors," with the names of
the various sports. Under each name
is, at present blank, rectangular
space, whose size is apparently pro-
portioned to the importance of the
sport whose devotees' pictures and
achievements it will contain.
Designed in characteristic sym-
metry by a student of engineering,
this board is destined to be hung in
the W.A.A. building.

Be Presented By Mr.
William Duncan
"The Glowing Bird" will be pre-
sented by the Tatterman Marionettes
at 4:15 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. today in
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
The story of the play written by
Mr. Edward Mabley is a combination
of old Russian folk tales called
"skazki." It concerns the fate of a
bird bringing good luck to the king-
dlom it inhabits which is bewitched
by an evil wizard and carried away.
The attempts of members of the
kingdom to rescue the bird and the
experiences they have make up the
plot of the play.
The Tatterman Marionettes, un-
der the direction of Mr. William
Duncan will make their fifth appear-
ance here today under the sponsor-
ship of Prof. Herbert Kenyon, direct-
or of the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.

priced at 15 cents for children and
25 cents for adults may be reserved

Dinner Suits Are Fashionable
For Informal Week-End Dances
By BARBARA LOVELL
With the resumption of the week-
end dances at the Union and the
League appears the question of what
to wear while you and the music are
going "round and round." This is
the time of year at which your ward-
robe appears at its very lowest ebb -
that is, unless you received some par-
ticularly welcome replenishment at
Christmas.
Much the latest news in informal
evening wear are dinner suits. They
are innovations in comfort, smart-
ness and practicality. In this field
the Spanish influence is very much
in evidence, with much red and
black, full skirts and high heels. The
overdone Grecian mode is dead.
Suits Are Good
One particularly stunning suit isf
of black crepe romain, with a long
skirt, simply cut, and a tailored
double breasted jacket like a man's.
With flattering incongruity there is
a soft, rippling collar on each of
whose wide lapels is placed a huge
floppy red rose. Another suit is bril-
liantly composed of a pea jacket of
white crystal pailettes over a dull
black skirt. The mania for black
persists in a very sophisticated,
starkly simple broadcloth outfit
which is buttoned up the front with
gold buttons.
If you desire something a bit m
colorful there is a lovely changea
net which shifts from garnet
purple. A wrap-around skirt is vE
full and the jacket has amus
puffed sleeves. Correctly, on the I
lapel a mammoth garnet silk flo
is placed. An unusual color sche
is carried out in the combination
a short, fitted jacket of pink blott
paper flannel and a skirt of de
red velvet. This suit may also
ore

purple.

It is inevitable that the curr

style. The newest print for spr
is exploited in a cherry pink sa
jacket printed with black and wh
ponies, to be worn with a pink cr
dress.
The question of skirt lengths i
debatable one so you are free to
