SOCIALLY SPEAKING
Becky Vollette, Kansan Society Editor
When the sun came out yesterday, many students began thinking of picnics, long walks, and even sun baths. In fact, some students were day dreaming in classes! But, after all this is only January, and spring is far, far away. Back to the books, there'll no doubt be many more bleak days before final week. Fine topic of conversation, the weather—

Don't Wire—Write!
"Western Union workers on strike.
"Don't wire—write!"
Looking Toward Spring Styles
Buttons, Bows, Scarves Lead Fashion Parade
New York, (UP)—It was buttons and bows and scarves and just plain prettiness at four designer showings here today.
Nettie Rosenstein, spectator sports. Herbert Sondheim, and Adele Simpson were the New York dress institute members presenting their collections to more than 90 fashion editors from out of town on the second day of the institute's national press week.
Mrs. Rosenstein's got the button Buttons take the spotlight throughout her spring dress and suit collection—picking up a straight jacket into a folded bolero; marching in double and triple rows in close ranks down the fronts of coats and jackets—some on business and some for show.
In many cases the buttons serve to emphasize unusual jacket closings—one set off slightly left to center; another squared in inverted steps from right shoulder to left hem; still
Mrs. Rosenstein's lines are slimmer than those of many designers this spring—but femininity and smartness is none the less apparent for lack of hip padding and extensive gathers. Interest is focussed on dressmaker detail for newness which can be almost guaranteed to last through many seasons.
Bruno of spectator sports had bows on at least 90 per cent of his spring collection. They are especially notable at waist and midback of strapped sun and evening dresses. They are beautifully effective in a dress which appears for day in black spun rayon, for evening in a luscious lavender taffeta. The bare front midriff is tied at the waist and the bosom-cap sleeves cover the shoulder in both day and evening versions. The daytime skirt has front fullness, the evening one a full gored swish.
another formed by overlapping tabs for a woven or laced effect.
dresses featuring scarf collars which may be worn on the head as a turban or off it, tied loosely at the neck.
Adele Simpson, designing for Mary Lee swings her skirts and sleeves like summer lanterns for a free and easy spring. Pretty dress-maker suits have flattering boleros, catchy stole jackets, slit sleeves, softly full skirts.
Long and short blacks are strikingly cut and draped for the most feminine accent in years. Other evening dresses, mostly cottons, revive the hoopskirt. A particularly pretty one was in a bright dark green and white lattice plaid gingham, with an off-the-shoulder Tuff of bows and flowers.
Light print dresses are shown under bright flaring coats with matching print linings. Pastels and neutrals appear in light weight wool and in a nylon and silk mixture in perfectly plain shirtmaker dresses, cap sleeved and with front gathers and hip pocket innovations.
Herbert Sondheim has put a new twist in scarves with a number of

In January, 1874, they held their first initiation; and four members were added to the society. Delta Gamma now has 61 chapters, 20,983 had been initiated up to
