King Cotton comes into his own during the summer months and
no one is willing to dispute his right to rule. Especially when shops are
filled with charming "eyefulls" such as these cool, attractive dresses,
both versatile enough to serve any occasion. The polka dot jacket covers
a cleverly styled dress and is subject to removal when the sweater proves
suitable. An arresting print in luscious colors adorns the justly popular
two-piece frock.

Show Gardens
Will Be Built
For Exhibition
Visitors to the Ann Arbor Flower
Show to be held in the Field House
from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday
through Monday will witness the
panorama of 22 individual gardens
built by individual citizens and social
organizations of Ann Arbor, as well as
miniature flower arrangements and
a display of specimen blooms.
A tea garddn, the terminal feature
of the landscape set-up around a 150
fcot reflection pool and fountain of
water will be designed in festival
spirit under a canopy of broad striped
colors. This will face the individual
gardens which are expected to offer
valuable suggestions and ideas in de-
sign and plant material.
Included among these will be an
herb garden, a fire place garden, an
evergreen garden, a bird garden, a
children's garden, a cottage garden,
and a "modern" garden. Opposite
the main entrance the flower arrange-
ments will be shown, and beyond
them miniature arrangements.
A school exhibit will include dis-
play of flower arrangements, and
actual gardens designed and con-
structed by groups of school chil-
dren.
Medical Group
To lBe Hostess
At Convention,
Women physicians from all sec-
tions of the country will gather in
Ann Arbor from June 19 to 22 when
the Michigan chapter of Alpha Ep-
silon Iota, medical sorority, will act
as hostess to the Biennial National
Convention of all members of the
organization.
As a part of the program planned
for the three-day session a meeting
will be held June 20i n the Rackham
Building. President Ruthven will
welcome all the out-of-town visitors
there with a short address following
which Dr. Albert C. Furstenberg,
Dean of the Medical School, will
speak on "Trends in Medical Educa-
tion." This meeting will be open to
the public.
The history of the sorority is close-
ly bound up with Michigan since
the original chapter of the organiza-
tion was founded here just fifty years
ago. Doctors Lotta Suverkrup, '90M,
Ada Bock, '91M, Anna Croacher,
'91M, Lilly Fellows and May Rey-
nolds were the charter members. The
present chapter now has a member-
ship of more than 250, while the to-
tal number of members included in
the entire organization of 23 chap-
ters exceeds two thousand.
Among the members of Alpha Ep-
silon Iota who live in Ann Arbor are
Doctors Margaret Bell, Meldon Ev-
erett, Ruth Wanstrom, Marianna
Smalley and Leanne Solis, all of
whom are or have been on the Uni-
versity faculty, and Doctors Bernity
Block, Harriet Winder, Eloise McIvor,
Melissa Worth and Gladys Klein-
schmidt. Other residents of Ann Air-
bor who are members of the group
are Mrs. David M. Cowie, wife of
the late Dr. Cowie of the pediatrics
department, and Mrs. L. W. Oliphant
of Barton Hills.

Temperamental Dog Star, Actress

Form "Behind The Scene

Drama

By GRACE MILLER
More than first-rate acting, pol-
ished lines, a superb setting and in -
comparable lighting went into "The
World We Make," which opened yes-
terday at the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
it seems that the fictitious char-
acters that move about an imagined
setting are alive and real after all.
For instance, consider Crab, Ann Ar-
bor's leading mongrel and a sea-
soned actress at that.
Faultless Dress Rehearsal
Poor Crab has been heckled and
led about like any ordinary dog. Af-
ter going through a faultless dress
rehearsal Sunday night, without a
misplaced bark or whimper, she had
to submit to the indignity of being
literally led home by Carl Reed, the
stage manager, just as if she hadn't
known Ann Arbor, and its every back
alley from the days when she roamed
free and lighthearted, before decid-
ing to attach herself to Prof. Wil-

was late, and all the apartment house
windows were darkened. Mr. Reed
had no idea which could be Crab's
home, but with the true instinct
of the outdoor man, he let Crab
have her head.
Crab lost no time in finding her
way to one of the apartment door-
ways, and Mr. Reed promptly opened
the door and shoved her in. The rest
of his night (there really was no
rest) was spent imagining some in-
nocent and dogless family waking
to the sound of deafening howls from
the intruder.
The same night Carrie Bridewell
arrived in Ann Arbor with Frederica
Going, to begin work on "Boyd's
Shop."
Miss Bridewell, seasoned trouper
though she may be, may have been
slightly disconcerted by the fact that
the train from New York had broken
lown, and was therefore considerably
delayed.
Murnan Met Train
James Murnan, who met the train,
left his guests at the house where
they were to stay, not far from cam-
pus.
The next morning, Miss Bridewell
was found roaming about the League,
She had left the house at a fairly
early hour to get breakfast, she
wailed, and "For heaven's sakes, now
I don't know where I live."
No one was around who did know
either, until Mrs. Lucille Walz, the
business manager, happened to re-
call vaguely some mention of a cer-
tain rooming house. But when tele-
phoned, the landlady offered no,

help. "Some one did come in lastl
night, but I don't know who it was,'
it was so late."
It's certainly true that the smooth-
ticking plays that are seen in the
theatre give no indication of theI
wild stories that lie behind them.
However, one story was far from
wild, dramatic seasoners are proud
to say.
Jane Broder Arrives
Jane Broder, one of the biggest
casting agents of the country, ar-
rived in Ann Arbor for the first
time Monday, to see a rehearsal of
Oche World We Make." Miss Bro-
der, who has done the casting for
the Ann Arbor dramatic season for
13 years, was sufficiently impressed
with the professional character of
scenes and programs and general
management to exclaim, "This isn't
stock; this is Broadway!"
Sun-Deck Is Summer
Feature At Stockwell
Examinations may come and ex-
aminations go, but Stockwell Hall
women, nevertheless, boast tanned
skin that tells of a relationship with
dear ole sol.
An outstanding feature of the new-
est resident hall on campus is the
large sun deck which is built on the
top of the horseshoe-shaped lounge.
From sunup to sundown the sundeck
takes on the aspect of an August
day at the beach. A continuous par-
ade of the latest fashion in beach-
wear is provided by the sunning
models.

Late Hours Announced
Late hour permission for wo-

of the Dean of Women for 1:30
