WHTTNEX TO PRESENT
"TAILOR MADE MAN"
* Paris Shops Say
•- The latest FOR MEN is a "Sweat
Shirt" craze. Several victims of this
malady have caused quite a flutter
of excitement in the halls lately.
The unique garments seem destined
to take the place of loud blazers,
sweaters, and autographed annuals.
London Merchants Know
Normal WOMEN cannot resist the
•collegiate appeal of "Double Decker"
socks. Yes, yes it is a sensible idea
girls and they look fine.
Advance Reports.
The early spring styles for MEN
will be the wearing of gaudy sus­penders
on the outside of suit coats,
also a continuation of the Idea of
two piece suits (trousers and coat.)
MAIDS A'TALKING.
A 4 Sided Affair
Cast: Alice Gillespie, Margaret
Black and Dorothy Deighton.
Did: I see .George Abbey is
raising a moustache.
Marg: Gee, wouldn't that
tickle you.
Al: Well, it'll never tickle
me. ' ••"
Dp you want to have the thrill of
eating lunch to the music of a jazz
band—the best in school? Do you
want to hear a quartet of good sing­ers,
and do you want to hear a tal­ented
violinist and vocalist? If you
do, come to the all-school luncheon
to be held at Edens Hall, Saturday,
November 21, at 12:15. John Fitz-
Gerald, with the help of. the clubs,
has secured the best talent in the
school to entertain the luncheon.
Fifty students will also be served
with the same mnu at the Cafeteria,
where the same program will also be
repeated.
"Viking Vittles" was the name
chosen for this new feature of Home
Coming by the committees in charge.
Tags which will admit to the
luncheon are being sold for thirty-five
cents. The tags are in the shape
of a football and have the real foot­ball
color. They are attractively
printed in blue.
Clever stunts were given in the
main hall Wednesday noon, which
effectively advertised the affair.
Norman Burehette had charge of the
publicity. Original posters were
used to draw the attention of the
students to the luncheon.
After lunch a monster pep-rally is
to be-held in front of the dormitory
from which the crowd will proceed to
the game.
Open-House at Edens Hall will
precede and follow the luncheon. The
rooms will be open for inspection.
The lobby and drawing room are to
be decorated in honor of the visitors.
Gwendolyn Shakespeare has charge
of the open house.

Thanksgiving Day Nov. 24
Mrs. Oliver Bainbridge, traveller
and lecturer, is to visit Bellingham
and will speak at the assembly on
Monday, November 23, at 3:00 p. m.
and 4 p. m.
Mrs. Bainbridge has spent the last
seventeen years in travel, penetrat­ing
into many out-of-the-way corn­ers
of the earth. While in India with
her husband and two sons, she travel­led
some 5OJO00 miles and was the
| . personal guest of the most important
of the native rulers. Mrs. Bainbridge
was also entertained by the only rul­ing
princess in India, her Highness
the Begum of Phopal, upon whose
face no male being, apart from her
own blood relations, ever gazed.
Mrs. Bainbridge has many fasci­nating
stories to tell of native life
and customs, of the religions and
strange fanatical fakirs and Holy-men.
She also spent a great deal of
time behind the Purdah, or curtain,
which separates the ladies of the
country from the polluting gaze of
man. It is indeed an honor to be
invited by these cautious princes to
visit their women folk in their own
quarters. '

Edwin M. Whitney, who is to ap­pear
in the auditorium on the even­ing
of November 20, at 9:00 p. m., in
in "The Tailor Made Man," is a
reader and an artist of nation-wide
fame and is the highest type of dra­matic
interpreter. His facial expres­sion
is marvelous and his rapid tran­sition
from one character to another
stamps him as a genius. There is an
artistic perfection about his every
gesture that brings his-audience to
the realization that they are watch­ing
and enjoying a great artist.
A critic recently said of him: "his
remarkable appeal to an audience
might be summed up in few words,
'He is real.' His intrinsic ability, his
ineffable charm of manner and
wholesomeness complete a benevolent
conspiracy to win the heart of any
hearer. This 'being born, not made'
expression, so extravagantly applied
to professions, is exceedingly appro­priate
in Mr. Whitney's case. His
appeal seems universal, if return
dates are any criterion; he is as-ac­ceptable
in one community as an­other,
and before all manners of
people."
His repertoire is large and includes
such plays as "Turn to the Right,"
by Winchell Smith, (twelve charac­ters)
; "The Fortune Hunter," by
Winchell Smith (thirteen charac­ters);
"Hit the Trail Holliday," by
George Cohan (fifteen characters);
"In Walked Jimmie," by M. J. Jaffa
(twelve characters); "Adam and
Eva," by George Middleton (ten
characters; Popular Short Story Pro­grams.

PEP RALLY TONIGHT
Everyone Expected to be in
Front of Edens Hall at 6:30
P. M., for {Serpentine.
We intend to make this the most
successful rally in the history of the
Normal school," were the enthusias­tic
words of the pep squad as they
outlined the plans for the serpentine,
rally and bonfire. All Normal stu­dents
are requested and expected to
be in front of Edens Hall at 6.:30 this
evening. The squad will then sup­ervise
a downtown serpentine, to.let
the city know that there is something
doing on Sehome.
After the serpentine, all the stu­dents
will -gather on the top of
Sehome for a huge bonfire and pep
rally. Also, a gigantic W will be
binned in accordance with the Nor­mal
tradition. The Home Coming
game is always the most exciting
game of the season, and the competi­tion
is especially keen this year. The
enthusiasm of the students is one of
the important factors in deciding the
outcome. Our aim is to have the
attention of the entire city Friday
evening. Let Sehome, let Mt. Baker
echo with enthusiasm.

The Alumni Banquet, which is one
of the outstanding events planned
for Home Coming Day, will be held
Saturday evening at 6 p. m., in
Edens Hall dining room. At this
banquet the old Grads will be able
to unite as a group in paying tri­bute
to their Alma Mater. Old ac­quaintances
will be renewed and old
ties strengthened. Classes from
1905 to 1925 will be represented.
Many Normal graduates reside in
Bellingham, which makes it easy for
them to attend reunions. Also many
of the faculty were formerly stu­dents
of the Normal.
The entire faculty will be present.
The football teams will also be invit­ed
to the banquet. The committee in
charge have made plans for the serv­ing
of three hundred or more people.
Students boarding at Edens Hall
will be provided for earlier so that
the Alumni Banquet will begin
promptly at 6 o'clock. Mrs. Ball,
dietitian at Edens Hall has charge of
the dinner.
Cassie Cales, president of the
Alumni Association . will preside as

Many Papers of Unusual Merit
Are Received by Messenger;
Contest Closes Today.
Another event that many students
are looking forward to with great in­terest
is the banquet to be given to
the winners in the prize literary con­test
by the Messenger, which closed
at four o'clock, Friday, November 20.
At this banquet the,names of the
prize winners will be announced by
the judges and the Messenger staff.
The papers already submitted
show unusual merit and the judges
find it hard to decide as to which is
best among so many excellent con­tributions.
Each student who has
made an effort, whether a prize
winner or not, has gained more
strength and ability in the literary
field and will find -the daily work
easier. This is one of the chief ob­jects
of the Messenger—to, bring out
the latent powers of the students as
well as to build up a permanent lit­erary
staff for the Messenger. The
names of the successful competitors
will be announced in an early issue
of the Messenger.
A committee of the faculty is
working hard to perfect the machin­ery
of registration so that students'
programs will be made intelligently,
without rushing and crowding, and
yet' with the greatest economy of
time, energy, and patience of both
students and advisors. The commit­tee
intends before it has finished
with its work, to perfect the machin­ery
of registration to a point where
it will be a worthy example of this
type of procedure. To accomplish this
end it will be necessary for students
to co-oerate by studying their own
problems of choice of courses, by be­coming
so thoroughly acquainted
with the plan of sequence of courses,
by submitting to advisors full data
on outside work and conditions to be.
