Orlon Fleece Coats Can Solve Budget Problems for Women
Are you among the college women who have said to themselves, I'd love to have a new coat this winter, something light and warm, but I just can't afford it right now?"
You'll find your answer in orlon' cephyr fleece fabric, now used for ready-made garments by most leading clothing manufacturers. Orlon fleece gives you the warmth of wool with 20 to 30 per cent less weight, and a hand that "feels good on the skin," according to a bulletin published by Du Pont de Nemours and company, makers of the fiber. What's more you'll pay much less or an orlon coat than for one of wool.
When you have worn your new all-orlon coat for awhile--assuming that you bought one—you may find it in need of a good cleaning. Don't send it to a dry cleaners, just follow the simplified washing directions for knitted brushed orlon fabrics found with most of the leading soap flakes and synthetic detergents and your coat will come out as beautiful as before. As an example, here are the directions found on a box of Lux soap;
Other fine features of orlon are its wrinkle resistance—wrinkles hang out—and its ability to retain its original shape. No sagging backs or drooping cuffs with an orlon coat. Even in blends containing as much as 55 per cent wool, the orlon contents will keep the garment in shape.
When buying an all-orlon coat make sure that the lining, shoulder leads, tailor's canvas, seem binding, and other parts of the coat are all made of orlon, or nylon. This will

insure perfect washability of the garment. Orlon and wool blends containing 55 per cent wool have been washed in testing laboratories and have come out in perfect condition. So if you decide to buy a "blend", the choice of whether to wash or not to wash is up to you. Dry cleaning won't hurt it, if you want to pay the bill.

Approximately 55 housemothers' meet monthly at Housemothers' club to discuss problems of their respective houses.
Projects for the year, various programs including speakers and discussions, and social hours are planned and carried out at these meetings.
One main goal of the organization to provide two scholarships yearly or a boy and a girl whom the club cells are deserving.
But it took the imaginative genius of Dr. Morris Bishop, professor of Romance languages at Cornell university, contributor to the New Yorker and speaker this week in the Humanities Lectures series, to give it a name.
Last year's outstanding feature team, group of discussions on housemothers' problems and policies by Miss Margaret Habein, former dean of women. These discussions were part of a summer course which Miss Habein taught at the school for housemothers at Purdue university during the summer of 51.
At one p.m. Monday the feature writing class of Miss Frances Grinstead, associate professor of journalism, enjoyed a combination lecture and question session with Dr. Dishart's guest speaker.
Mrs. W. S. Shaw, president and Delta Gamma housemother, said, "The last meeting consisted of the introduction of new housemothers and a discussion of programs for the year. The programs are going to be varied to provide some interest for everyone. They will consist of various lectures, book reviews, bridge and canasta games."
An annual Christmas project is giving children's clothes to the Lawrence school nurse for distribution to needy children. Each housemother brings two new garments to the club's December meeting and donates them to the project.
Class Whistle Gets Nickname
Other officers for this year are Mrs. Kenneth M. Whyte, Sigma Chi, vice president; Mrs. Lela Whiteford, Femplin, secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. John R. Scott, Chi Omega, telephone chairman.
For unnumbered years blasts from the steam whistle at the University power plant have summoned students to class and marked the end of class periods, at welcome or unwelcome moments.
In the midst of Dr. Bishop's informal talk with students after the class ended, the deafening, near-by blast of the one-fifty whistle suddenly cut short his conversation.
"What is that?" he cried, flushed with surprise, "the Queen Mary?"
