Following the "Bun ling Bro- thers' Circus" of 1937, varying motifs such as a music box, Christmas celebration, trip to the far flung planets and this year's visit with Shakespeare have been used. Under the supervision of Bar- bara Arter, the decorations com- mittee has been planning the transformation of a twentieth century League into an atmos- phere fitting for Shakespeare and his company. TED SMITH and his orchestra will provide the musical back- ground for dancing in the main ballroom, and special booths and refreshment stands will be set up in the concourse and other second floor rooms. The floorshow, under the di- rection of Lois Eisele, has been hard at work perfecting its dance routines and diramatic parts so as to present a true interpretation of the Univer-' s i t y 's ancient counterpart "Fishigan." Tickets for the Cabaret will go on sale Wednesday at the League, Union and Women's residences. Due to the four performances of the floorshow, two each night of the Cab, there will be tickets of four different colors sold. The tickets will serve for en- trance to the Cabaret as a whole, and the stubs will be used for the floorshow, one color for each per- formance. Bridge Players To Compe Bridge entnusiasts will assemble in the Union on Dec. 4 to com- pete for the fall campus cham- pionship. All interested bridge players playing students may enter the tourney and try for the first and second place prizes contributed by the Union. A valuable trophy will be presented to the winner and a cup will be given to the runner-up. The contest will be run in the form of a Two Session Open Pair Tournament, the first session to begin at 2 p.m. and the second at 7 p.m. Mrs. Bernard Agruss who di- rects the weekly bridge tourna- ments held at the Union and gives instruction to students who at- tend, is in charge of the Dec. 4 tourney. PERFUME THROUGH THE YEARS: SweetScents Convey Suggestions of Gaiety, Exotic Places A Scottish atmosphere will pre- vail on campus and in classrooms next week when ye bonny Univer- sity lads and lassies will be wear- ing an array of plaid shirts, dress- es, skirts and scarves. Designating Nov. 21 to Dec. 3 as "Plaid Shirt Week," the fores- try school plans to get students in the mood for its Paul Bunyan "Formal," Saturday, Dec. 3, when jeans and plaid shirts will replace tuxes, tails and the usual formal attire. The forestry school, faculty members included, will appear en masse in plaids next week. Any forestry student who is caught wearing the usual sweater or solid colored shirt will be properly pun- ished with a royal diag lynching. COMEPTITION will also reign among the rest of the campus as to who can display the loudest and most unusual plaids. "There is an unlimited num- ber of possibilities for plaid dress," said Dick McArdle, pub- licity chairman for the Paul Bunyan "F o r m a l". "Shirts, dresses, scarves, socks, ribbons, coat and bookcovers are among the ideas which students can use," he added.

Q Handkerchief Cases LI Jewel Cases Sewing Kits By JANICE JAMES Those who followed the wedding of Aly Khan and Rita Hayworth no doubt noticed the report that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of gallons of perfume were used in the swimming pools to provide a fragrant atmosphere for the fam- ed nuptials. * The marriage attracted almost as much attention as did that of a British king when he abdicated his throne to marry an American divorcee. During the ceremony sweet scents from the pool envel- oped the entire town in a sea of frangrance. THIS IS reminiscent of the courts of former times where per- fume flowed like water from the fountains in ancient Rome. Many a historian has related how Nero used more perfume at the funeral of Poppaea than could be im- ported from Arabia in a year. Then too, who can forget the fabulous reports of the "Queen of the Nile," Cleopatra, who made use of fragrant oils in cap- turing the hearts of Antony and and Caesar? It remains an undeniable fact that more use has been made of perfume through the years than of any other "aid to nature" dis- covered since. LAUNCHING a perfume is an effort to put across an idea which must suggest romance, love, youth, tradition, moods of gaiety, events of the bygone fashions, music and artistic or exotic places. All the elements, the names, the bottle, the label, the package and the advertising must have \ L Aprons Tea Towels a and ma We suggest you at once.

The perfume character and the name are of primary importance in conducting the idea. Sometimes the idea comes first, and the prob- lem is to find a fitting name and scent. Sometimes the search for a name will launch the idea and the proper perfume will have to be selected. * * * OR PERHAPS the scent itself will suggest an idea and a name, for, in this case, the perfume is already an expression of an idea born in the artist-perfumer's im- aginatiOn.. As in every art, artists who are able to combine the origi- nality of their idea with the perfection of their blend are few. But if they are successful they may create a style which will become the starting point of schools of expression. The success of truly great per- fume classics remains unchallen- ged by the whims of fancy or the fads of fashion.' IN LAUNCHING a new perfume, the trends of the day cannot be ignored. They must be consid- ered in order to determine the types that are on the upgrade and to make a selection that will con- tribute to the consumer's accep- tance. The fragrance that is design- ed to win popular praise must be backed by the necessary qualities that are the mark of a good perfume. No money-making scent has enjoyed a constant popularity through a period of years unless it has these qualities. * * * AMONG THEM may be found the heart, or basic characteristic, of a blend. It must display a vi- tality which other mixtures do not have. Around this base, there must be additional notes of a flowery, leafy, spicy or woody character. These elements must be blended in such a way as to give the odor the warmth and life which a fragrance must have. The perfume must also have an originality which is achieved by a substition or transposition of skillful and daring specialities. It is the particular aromatics used in its creation that give a per- fume the distinction which en- ables it to endure in the con- stantly changing fashion world. * * * THESE ELEMENTS must be blended in a harmony which shows the outward qualities essential for its appeal and acceptance. This harmony must introduce the per- fume in such a manner as to fully condition it so that it makes a satisfactory first impression. Last but not least, a lastiness, not of thesame odor for several hours but of the fragrance's main note, must be achieved. This is easier to attain in heavy scents than it is in light per- fumes. However in today's modern age, people want to concentrate the maximum pleasure in the time that circumstances allow. For this reason, women of today's world do not want a strong and lasting perfume, but rather one that cre- ates a mild illusive atmosphere.
