French, Spanish,
Qerman Houses
To Be Repeated
Plans are under way to set up
a system of foreign language
houses for the summer session to
accommodate the demand for such
residences.
Women who are interested in
living in foreign language houses
during the summer may call the
Office of the Dean 'of Women to
obtain information and to register
their interest so that houses can
be planned to meet the demand
for them.
Mary C. Bromage, Associate
Dean of Women; Dr. Louis Hop-
kins, Director of the Summer Ses-
sion and representatives of the
German and Romance Languages
departments have begun discus-
sions of plans for such houses. r
Residence in the houses is for
-, women students. Both men and
women students may eat their
meals in the residences, however.
Last summer three separate
houses, one each for Spanish,
French and German students,
were operated. Each house was
under the direction of a household
manager, in charge of housing ac-
commodations and a linguistic di-
rector, in charge of language and
social activities.

Knowledge of Definitions,
Uses of Scents Important


Perfume, cologne and toilet wa-
ter seem to be persistently com-
mon bywords in the constantly
changing feminine world, but
questions concerning their defi-
nitions and use are forever pop-
ping up, especially among the.
male population.
First of all, perfume is a blend
of essential oils with just enough
alcohol to act as a carrier, of a
perfect blend of scents. The
amount of alcohol added to the
original oils determines the
strength of the odor. As a result,
perfume, containing the least
amount of carrying agent, is the
strongest scent.
* * *
WOMEN WEAR perfume for
many and varied reasons: to ex-
press their personality, to make
them feel feminine and to create
an atmosphere of fragrance for
the attraction of other people.
First created in Cologne, Ger-
many, cologne was originally
introduced on the market as a
type of fragrant water. It wasn't
until the late 1920's that the
present-day product came into
being.
Typed as "perfume colognes" to
distinguish them from the original
fragrant waters, they were classed
as being as strong as perfume by
many women.
S* *
IT WASN'T until just recently
what they are, lighter and less

lasting scents tian perfume, but
with just as many uses.
The last, but not least, of the
three classes of scents, toilet
water, while stronger in scent
than cologne, has many of the
same qualities which enable it
to be used in a variety of the
same ways.
Many women remain perfectly
content to have a large display of
perfume bottles on their dressing
table, but seldom entertain the
thought of using them.
LITTLE DO THEY realize that
using a good scent every day costs
no more than a daily newspaper.
In the second place, the alcohol
evaporates spoiling the even bal-
ance of the perfume.
As a constant reminder for
everyday use, it is best to keep
a favorite scent in a spot where
it is always in full view.
Since extreme light and heat
affect the blend of essential oils
and tend to change the color of
a scent, it is best to avoid keeping
the bottles on theradiator or in
the direct sunlight.
This year, many a Christmas
stocking contained a bottle of the
receiver's favorite scent. Regard-
less of the personification of the
well-wishing Santa, his gift is
worthy of use and understanding
of its contents, rather than neg-
lect and ignorance.

By MARYLIN KLAZER
With the recent drop in the
average age of young marrieds,
the unwed female in her twenties
finds an early spinsterhood creep-
ing ever closer.
In England, where the, term
first was used in thereign of
Elizabeth, spinster originally re-
ferred to women of gentility who
were unmarried. No unpleasant
connotation accompanied the title
and daughters of viscounts and
lesser nobility could claim the
honor.
.* * *
IN FACT, many women who
later married chose to retain their
previous appellation, particularly
if their husbands were not of the
gentry. Gradually the use of the
title went out of fashion except
in legal proceedings.
Anglo-Saxon households, in
England and America, had a far
simpler adaptation of the term,
spinster. Spinsters were merely
what the name implies, spin-
ners. Women were considered
unfit for the demanding duties
of homemaking until they had
spun table linen, bed linen, pet-
ticoats and other personal
things for their hope chests.
Of course, many women man-
aged to accumulate a sizeable col-
lection of such hand-spun items
before the question was finally
popped.
* * *

family who had more time than1
their married or near-married sis-
ters. Generally the spinsters were
the less personable of the brood,
for their more attractive sisters
were generally gadding about with
the eligible young gentlemen of
the community.
Each new marriage brought
additional burdens on the ever-
spinning unwed women for they
were expected to assist a new-
lywed in her household respon-
sibilities by helping with the
spinning.
Gradually and naturally, there-
fore, the term spinster lost its
original sigtnificance and came
to indicate one who was not mar-
ried.
