Susan Timm announced the cast for the play: Pamela Ad kins, the Judge; Sidney Armistead, the Bailiff; Margaret Blown, the I promise to love, honor, obey, and to have all our clothes cleaned at CAMPUS CLEANERS Police Officer; Pamela Adams, Mrs. Joiner; June Bearden, the Gardener; Sharon Covey, Mrs. Burns; Julie Goode and Linda An drews, the Smith Girls, and Marty Goff, the “Litter-bug.” Mrs. Edward Madeley presided at the business session after the invocation by Mrs. Ran Boswell.

OFFICE HOURS 9 to 4:30 Decorating Authorities Seek Simplicity, Unity By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newfeatures Writer More decorating help is avail able to the homemaker than ever before in manufacturers’ pamph lets, stores’ decorating services, and information available through newspapers and magazines. But often the homemaker fails for lack of time, energy or aware ness to avail herself of these ser vices. Sometimes she fails to in terpret the information so that it may be applied to her special problem or purpose. What are some mistakes in home planning ? Few Pieces Required A frequent one is the idea (par ticularly of the young homemaker) that a great deal of furniture is required to make a cozy home. This results in confusion. It takes an expert decorator to deal with a huge quantity of furnitui’e even when pieces are important and a room is large. Certainly then the average neo phyte decorator will have diffi culty combining and integrating mass into space. A small living room for instance, may not even be receptive to a sofa. But does one need a sofa if it sticks out like a sore thumb? No. But try to tell that to a young couple bound by tradition. Even the ro mantic love seat fails to intrigue them into giving up the outsize sofa in favor of a smaller piece. Color is another problem. Wife likes blue. Husband likes green. To please him she “buys him something green.” The overstuff ed chair with matching ottoman is usually the place singled out for the man of the family. It may not match anything else but the couple sees it only as an individ ual piece, not part of a unit. Many young couples “shoot the works” on the furniture and then have nothing left for “softeners.” These, I maintain, are as essential as the whipped cream on the right cake. Pillows for the sofa for in stance, to offer a cozier invita tion, pictures on the wall to stamp personality on the room, final fil lip to a decorating project. Some young people worry only that there will be enough seats in the living room as if everyday was for entertaining, so they crowd the room with chairs, whereas all this could be solved on those special occasions by utilizing hassocks, fireplace stools and large pillows, that will even make the room look Social Whirl Geology Wives Club will be represented at the Cotton Pageant by Ann Blackstone.
