Yesterday's festivities were fast-living die-hards but after so long a time Mt. Oread settled into a peaceful morning slumber with seemingly no intent of letting such slumbers be disturbed by either breakfast calls or church bells. But nevertheless the more wakeful segment of the student body will be out for church and by this afternoon the Campus will again be a buzz of activity and a close replica of Georgia's own Board Walk. The library is the most popular goal for Sunday afternoon strolls, but Potter's Lake and the Grove are the most travelled detours.
Guests at the Delta Tau Delta party Friday night were Betty Van Deventer, c'41; Mary Louise Lockhart, c'43; Jane Knudson, fa'41; Frissella Adams, c'43; Peggy Pat Hermessey, fa'42; Katherine Green, c'43; Dottie Wise, b'41; Dollie New-Ion, c'41; Martha Green, c'43; Alexia Marks, c'44; Georgia Ferrell, c'43; Anita Boughton, ed'43; Bernadine Hall, fa'41; Betty Lut Hancock, c'43; Jean Steele, c'43; Mary Beth Weir, c'41; Fritzi Meyn, c'43; Barbara Jo Wilson, c'43.

Jay Janes Play Host to Phi Siqma Chi
The 25 delegates to the convention represented the Municipal University of Omaha, the University of Nebraska, Kansas State College, and Washburn College.
Part of the morning was spent in a round table discussion on suggestions for improving the organization. Initiation services were held for the Washburn chapter, which entered the organization this year. The ceremony was conducted by Betty Kimble, c'4I, in the absence of Winifred Jameson, b'40.
After a 12:30 luncheon, the delegates were guests of the Jay Janes at the Kansas Relays.
Two-In-One, Not Oil But Housecoat
Two-in-one isn't oil—it's a new dressing gown! You buy a very smart, well-cut and tailored house-coat with square shoulders, a slim flared skirt, huge pocket in the skirt to hold all. A small, zippered pocket inside the big one holds small articles, the whole thing made in a very fine, uncrushable rayon crepe. A flattering cowl hood gives you a pretty neckline, can be hauled up to cover up hopeful pin curls. But that isn't all! Take off this robe, shove it all casually into its own pocket, zip a zipper, and you have a soft little cushion to tuck here or there. It comes in luscious colors, new for spring.
Miss Marion Weber, chief dietitian of the University of Kansas hospitals, Kansas City, Kans., will speak at the meeting of the Home Economics club held in the Home Management house, Tuesday, April 23.

Chi Omega Given Honor Last Night
Cathleen Beyer, c'40, was crowned queen of the Hobnail Hop before a capacity crowd in the ballroom of the Memorial Union ballroom last night. The coronation took place before intermission when George Rippey, c'41, president of the engineering council, announced the winner, crowned Her Majesty with a wreath of flowers, and presented her with a slide rule scepter.
The victory of the Chi Omega candidate broke the three-year reign of the Gamma Phi's. Isabelle West c'40, ruled over the Hop last spring.
Other candidates selected in a primary balloting in the School of Engineering and Architecture were: Betty Bell, c'42, Pattye Jayne Wadley, c'42, Bernice Morris, c'43, Ann Rightmire fa'40 and Kathleen O'Sullivan c'43.
The veil of secrecy surrounding the identity of the queen is a hangover from the old feudin' days of the lawyers and engineers, when it was not uncommon for students of the School of Law to kidnap the queen so that she could not be presented at the dance. This year there was little reviving of the battling, and the engineers did their queen campaigning unmolested.
Sun Speckles Are No Menace Now
In the gay nineties girls were not the sun worshipers they are now. The sun was their enemy; it made speckles on impertinent noses. Neither were they swimmers. Good reason: the fashionable bathing suit of heavy flannel, covering their arms to their wrists, their legs to their ankles. When the flannel costume got wet, it weighed about a ton, and there was a chance of sinking to the bottom of the sea and never coming up.
Since those funny old days, the athletic girl has developed. Freckles don't bother her any more than do the robins in the trees. She not only swims like a fish, but she revels in sun baths, takes on a toasted exterior and gets full of ginger.
In the old days the perfect complexion was as white as a stalk of celery that had been bleached in a cellar. Women weren't supposed to have vitality. It wasn't ladylike to be healthy. What, a life that must have been!
New styles in bathing suits show two-piece affairs, a slip of a skirt, which is more attractive than the one-piece mode of a few seasons ago, and a torso garment that's no more than a bra, held by straps that pass around the neck. To wear this you have to be shapely, if not divine. So start doing your exercises, like a good girl, and no foolin'.

Costume Flowers Part of Ensemble
In several recent Paris collections, costume flowers were shown as part of the dress ensemble itself, not merely accessories. Quite often they are the sole trimming or lightening touch of an extremely simple gown.
Molyneux does a sleeveless dinner gown in black crepe which is plain, clinging sheathlike to the figure and flaring gently below the knees. To relieve the dull black of the crepe, six long-stemmed tulips in natural vivid shades are laid across the wide lapels of the bodice, their long green stems extending down the lapels and meeting at the low V point of the neck.
