Early Shorthand
Invite the Club—Serve Banana-Apple Ring*
The earliest record of an organ­
ized system of shorthand dates
from the year 63 B. C., the age
of eloquence in Rome. At that
time a freedman and friend of
Cicero, Marcus Tullius Tiro, in­
vented a system that was used in
recording the speeches of Cicero,
Seneca and others in the Roman
senate. Tiro’s method was taught
in the Roman schools, was learned
by emperors, and remained in use
for several centuries.

Magazine Tells What the
College Girl Is Wearing
In keeping with the vogue for
"winter white," this season, comes
the prediction from furriers that
■now white lamb will prove one of
the most popular furs of the season.
The young set is "rushing” the
idea. It's a treat to the eye to see
young girls wearing coats like the
one pictured. These coats are strik­
ingly new, and they top the now-so-
modish white jersey "date” dresses
to perfection.
According to a new women's mag­
azine:
College co-eds are braiding their
hair in "country cousin" style.
Earrings are being worn with the
braids.
Sixty inch pearls worn on "Sloppy
Joe” cardigans are "tops” every-j
where.
Cowboy boots, plaid sweaters,
lime yellow shirts, corduroy jack­
ets, the "V" neck sweater and knee
length argyle plaid socks also|
storm the American campus scene.
