For the 19-year-old hazel-eyed beauty defends the Oregon males to the hilt, says they are the nicest of all. “They’re the most fun, the most natural; they’re the real outdoor type, and they have no affectation whatever about them,” thinks Bet ty, who has traveled from New York to Omaha to Portland - stop ping at innumerable cities in the course of her father’s transfers from one district to another. Likes Dirty Cords What's more Betty thinks dirty cords or tin pants are suitable for school. But she thinks overalls are the best of all—‘‘they’re wonder ful.” Not on dates, of course. Tux edos make the man then, for she i theorizes that a formal dance 1 brings out the best characteristics of anyone. Betty gets two more votes from the opposite sex because of her views on knee-length stockings and wooden shoes. She dislikes wooden clod-hoppers as much as any sane man, and as for red or green knee-highs: “I’ve never yet seen a gal with legs beautiful enough to wear them,” she sincerely declares. She herself leans toward silk shirts with short sleeves, attrac tive skirts, saddles, and angora anklets. She Radiates Her radiant personality and bub bling energy are immediately im posed on anyone she meets. She likes most everything. The out doors, the beautiful scenery in Oregon, spring, picnics “any time, any place, they’re wonderful" - the social life, with always some thing to do. Anything that hints of happy, gay, zestful living. Although she’s a sophomore, Betty Lou didn't attend Oregon her first year. She's a transfer from St. Helen’s hall in Portland, and she frankly admits that hav ing boys in classes, in the library, >vell everywhere, is quite refresh ing. But she’s interested in lots of filings besides boys. She carries 21 hours, “a little of everything,” as she puts it, and is always on the Move. i Her favorite social diversion? Don’t tell a soul except maybe one or two thousand friends, but Betty Lou says the most fun of all is coming home after a date during the weekend and staying up till the wee hours, listening to each soror ity sister telling of her trials, trib ulations, glories, and experiences.

Daphne at times exhibited an unnecessary love for accuracy. "I wonder what color of spring coat I should get. And I wish I had something effective for my neck . . . wooden beads or ivory ...” “Or a rope?” Daphne queried sweetly. “This is too much,” Toad rose and began to move briskly about ^ the room. “I am now going out to purchase a spring wardrobe.

Not too bad to have to worry about what to wear to the Inaug ural Ball, but on the other hand, what would be chic for a winter with the troops at Valley Forge? The whole romance seems to have been a love-at-first-sight af fair, dating from a visit Martha made to some friends not very long after her first husband died. In those days the General was a mere colonel. The wedding was pretty gaudy, with Martha decked out in a white satin quilted petti coat, under an overskirt of white corded satin shot with silver. She also had pearls in her hair and diamonds on her slippers. Buckles Here anil There The groom was arrayed in blue and silver, trimmed with scarlet, and gold buckles here and there. Martha was no more George’s first love than he hers. He had been falling in love with various local belles since he was 15, and con sistently had been given rejection slips. When they were married they were about 26. Martha was the sort of wife who did whatever her husband wanted, whether it was clustering around the troops with hot soup and band ages or being the Ideal Gentleman Farmer's Wife, or First Lady. Also it seems that whatever she did, she did well. She outlived her husband by Early Spring Brings Clothes a La Mode New York, parly as a crocus, Is already bringing forth spring fash ions.
