OREAD NOTES
All Oread enjoyed the play "Just a Little Mistake" given at Green Hall, Friday, May 13. The play was given by the Oread Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Marie Gibbons. Her role was especially clever in his part as a French cook who was mistaken for a count and entertained royally in the parlor while the real nobility was sent to the kitchen. Mr.Parbee's French accent caused much favorable comment from the visual appeal of entertainment from the audience.
Other parts in the play which were taken were played by Frances Martin Florence Claxton, Hilda Kheler, Lila McKeen and Norma Curtis.
Olissa Helen Bender, a student of dramatic art at the University of Kansas, gave a recital of Robert Service's poems Tuesday morning for the English Four and Journalism classes at Oread Training School.
The subject matter was well selected and the poems were read in a very forceful and delightful manner by Miss Bender. Some of the readings given were: "The Spell of the Yukon" "The Cremation of Sam McGee," "The Wife of the Sultan," "Rhyme of the Restless One," and "The Madonna."
The Journalism class wishes to thank Miss Bender for the recital, and to extend a corollial invitation to her to come again in the near future.

Peckham's Eight Stores
A GREAT SALE EVENT
Here's your chance to beat the high cost of living
YOU WON'T FIND this store among those that in a recently acquired spirit of generosity have suddenly decided to "give everything away; we can't afford it.
ITS BEEN a backward season and we have a big stock of fresh spring styles on hand. In view of market conditions and the inevitable further increases in wholesale prices,we'd be justified in holding these goods over for next season,but we're going to "kill two birds with one stone."
WE'D RATHER take the public in our confidence as we've always done and tell them frankly why we're able to put on a sale of this kind; a sale that will go a long ways to help reduce the cost of living.
WE'RE GOING to help you save by putting our entire stock of spring goods on sale at greatly reduced prices; and we're going to help ourselves by effecting a rapid turnover of our stock and making room for our summer goods that are coming in now.
This isn't an ordinary "after season sale;" it's all fresh,new spring goods, including our entire stock of
Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes

YOU CAN'T AFFORD to let this opportunity get by you. You couldn't buy these clothes at such prices from the manufacturers today; we couldn't either. And everything points to higher prices in the fall.
PRICES:
$55 suits... $43
$50 suits... $39
$45 suits... $35
$40 suits... $31
YOU'LL DO WELL to buy now even if you have no pressing need for new clothes; the style'll be just as good next fall. That's one big advantage in Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes.
