Will Day Be Hot or Cold? Lady Autumn Is Fickle
Bv MARY BESS STEPHENS
An American autumn is a beautiful thing. It's a season of falling leaves, brisk air, and a lot of indecisions as to what to wear. After fanning through the summer, it's a season we anticipate for it means the debut of the sweater and skirt, those wonderful nonwilling clothes that don't have to be starched and ironed every day.

What do we find? Lady Autumn has changed her mind. The chill is gone, she is not ready, she has injected a little heat into the morning. By afternoon we have dissolved. With a swaying gait we run home and quickly, before it is too late, the woolens are off and the shorts are on.
Ah yes, and now it comes—the little chill. With delight we run to the closet. The sweater is on, the skirt is buttoned, and out the door we go.
Oh for a sustained season, a season where men and women can dress one way and remain that way throughout the day. Surely soon the day will arrive when we can gauge our wardrobe to the weather with perfect safety. Let's see, it's October, so maybe by the time the first snow falls we can wear wool with a firm belief that it's the thing to do.
But right now everytime we don a sweater it is a question as to whether the day will be chilly enough for us to utilize the sweater's warmth, or whether we are only providing a not intended meal for a happy moth.
Ah autumn. We like you, but we do not trust you. You are a very fickle freshman, playing with the solid virtues of summer and winter, flirting a while with one, then leaving it for the other.
And so to you, a poem:
is poet. Blouse or sweater—oh what's the
weather?
weather?
Autumn's here, we cannot tell.
Cottons or skirts—woolen shirts?
Autumn's here, we cannot tell.
Autumn, season willy nilly,
Go away.
Get cold, stay hot, be definite
State the forecast, keep it that
way.
We want to dress right once today
And stay that way the livelong day.

A curved line creates the illusion of youth in clothes. Voluptuous curves give the impression of matronliness and a straight line stands for simplicity and sophistication. A very thin straight line makes the figure look thinner and a broad straight line gives the appearance of thickness. Many lines running both horizontally and vertically leave the spectator with a feeling of confusion.
Frost is an engineering senior and a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He is from Kansas City, Mo.

No Reconciliation Chance, Marilyn Says
Hollywood—(U.P)—Marilyn Monroe, red-eyed from weeping, said through her attorney today "there is no chance of reconciliation" with baseball great Joe DiMaggio. She ordered her divorce suit filed today or tomorrow.
Friends of the couple tried to get the 9-month-old marriage back on its feet by urging them to reconcile. But the crying actress, near hysteria, told attorney Jerry Giesler that any patch-up "is out of the question."
"We may file today or tomorrow, depending upon Marilyn's health," Mr. Giesler said early today.
"I discussed the possibility of a reconciliation with her, but she said no. There is a conflict of careers and a general incompatibility. Yes, Joe has struck out."
The suit, to be filed in nearby Santa Monica, will charge Mr. Di-Maggio with the usual mental cruelty. Marilyn will not seek alimony from the currently jobless sports figure, and the couple accumulated no community property during their brief union.
Joe remained inside the couple's rented Beverly Hills home, but Mr. Giesler said he assumed the exball player planned to move to an apartment soon.
The split-up of the marriage the world has eagerly watched was a surprise to fans and to most film-sters, but attorney Giesler said, "Trouble has been brewing for quite some time."
The blonde refused to talk to reporters today but agreed to appear at a press conference tomorrow noon at Mr. Giesler's office at least to pose for photographers.
"The break-up is not sudden," he told reporters who clustered on the lawn of the DiMaggio home yesterday.
A few close friends of the couple admitted they had known the marriage was rocky for several months.
Michael Chekov, Marilyn's vocal coach, said the famous star had become "morose" recently over her wedded life. He said long before their recent gay whirl of New York she confided to him that "Joe is a wonderful guy but we don't have enough in common."
The actress in the past few weeks often has been too ill to work. A physician who has been treating her blamed her frequent sickness on "marriage difficulties."

Farmers substantially helped the development of American railroads in the early days by granting rights of way, buying railroad stocks and facilitating legislation.

Peter Murray Hill, London book-seller and actor, will deliver the second annual public lecture on "Books and Bibliograhy" at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Strong hall auditorium.
Speaking on "Two Augustan Booksellers: John Dunton and Edmund Curl". Hill will deal with historical aspects of the rare book trade in Great Britain and America.
As a book dealer Hill is widely known for his scholarly catalogs which specialize in English literature before 1850, according to Robert Vosper, director of University libraries.
The University library in sponsoring Hill's lecture. The first public lecture in the series was delivered in 1953 by Elmer Adler, printer, publisher and editor of Princeton, New Jersey.
Hill has been particularly identified with the role of Captain Hook in "Peter Pan." in which he replaced Charles Laughton in 1937 and which he revived ten years later with his wife, motion picture star Phyllis Calvert, in the role of Peter.
The conference is a joint project of the School of Education and University Extension and is the first such meeting at KU designed primarily for Kansas high school business teachers.
Dr. Arnold Condon, chairman of the department of business education at Illinois, and Miss Elizabeth Melson, assistant professor of business education there, will conduct lecture-demonstrations and a question-and-answer panel. Dr Condon is the originator of the transcription method of teaching Gregg shorthand. Miss Melson is known as a speaker and writer on typewriting techniques.
