On Saturday, October 27th, the an-nual Hallowe'en masquerade was heldin the gymnasium. The room wascolorfully and appropriately decoratedwith oak leaves, orange and blackballoons and pumpkins. The lightswere shaded, as befitted the season,and glowing, tremulous candles creat-ed a spooky, weird atmosphere.Pirates, Arabians, old-fashioned girls,sailors, gypsies all added their shareof brilliant mysterious gaiety. Prizeswere awarded to Pauline Dorman, andIsabel Colby for the best costumes.During- the evening refreshments-consisting of big, red apples, and icecream cones-were served.

ARTICLE APPEARING INTHE ATLANTIC MONTHLYTO BE DELIVERED HERE

wurden Bell to Speak at Vespers

At Vespers on Nov. 4, Warden Ber-nard Iddings Bell, S. T. D., of St.Stephen's College, Annandale-on-Hudson, N. Y., and Columbia Univer-sity, will speak on "The LargerAgnosticism", anticipating an articleof his by the same name which willappear in the December issue of theAtlantic .lIQlllhly.

Distinguished French Au-thor To Speak Here On"The French Novel"

Georges Duhamel, one of the bestrepresentatives and certainly a stirringinterpreter of contemporary France,who has just arrived in the UnitedStates, has accepted an invitation toapeak on "The French Novel," Wed-nesday, November 14th, at ConnecticutCollege for Women.The lecture will be given In French,

and all French speaking friends of thecollege in New London, Norwich,Ha.r-tfor-d, and vicinity, are invited tobather in Knowlton House at 8 o'clockon the appointed day to welcome andto hear the distinguished foreigner."There is perhaps no other author

in France," says J. M. Carre, "whosemessage it is so timely to bring beforethe rising American generation." Theyoung who will read Georges Duhamelwill learn that true wealth Is In thepossession of the inner life, and thatmaterial progress does not constitutectvnlaatron. The latter is not to befound in a laboratory, in a hospital, 1na factory, nor in a railroad station."If civilization is not in the heart ofman, it is nowhere at all."Georges Duhamel is one of the best

guides that old France has to offer.He is a man of 43, simple andmodest, living most of the time in thecountry (in the department of theOtse or in Tunis), writing beautifulbooks in no fever of excitement. Heis a sage. But he does not shut him-self up in his ivory tower any morethan he mixes in political and socialagitations. He puts into practice theprecept of Vigny: "The thinker tellsthe cr-owd from time to time the wordwhich must be spoken and while thisword is resounding, he withdraws In-to his silent WOl'lL" Nor is he a merecontemplator. His fervor is con-tagious and radiating. He loves manand he knows the value of fraternalassoctatrons of artists. He is also aphysician and he relieves human suf-fering,

It was during the weeks of respite,at the front during the World Warbetween the storms of attack, thatDuhamel wrote his two great books,"Life of tile Marly/·s" (1914-1916) and"aivilizalio/~" (1914-1917). "He gaveeternity to that people of Francewhich was dying in his arms." Hetold us or its heroic struggle with pain,its superhuman and saintly acceptanceof the ordeal. And beyond the bed-side of the martyrs and the operatingtable, he revealed without indulgencethe false, the lying ctvmaauon, theillogical technical progress, whichmanufacturers at the same time thecomb-shell which rends and the hos-pital which mends that very humanity.Duhamel demonstrated the falla-

cious organization of war, the eervneand pompous machinery of the "be-hind the lines." His gentle but Im-placable testimony comes on thethreshold of the 20th century as awarning for the future.Since the conclusion of peace, Du-

hamel has expressed himself with ad-mtrabje vitalf ty, through the theater,'the novel, and poetry. Here he con-trasts the industrial civilization and

Dear Editor: The abuse of Seniorprivileges is sUII a matter of greatconcern to the class of 1929. Despitethe earnest appeal to underclassmento observe these rights, there is pre-valent still a great deal of non-coop-eration. The Seniors of the past havealways had priority rights-whyshould we of the present be deniedthem? After all, has not the very at-tainment of our status as Seniors wonfor us the right to greater privileges?we should like to rest upon our hard-won laurels as other Seniors have. be-fore us; and so, once more we ap-peal to the general sense of fair playand good sportsmanship among thestudents to respect t.he Senior tradi-tions.

Ah, no moreMay I sing to the carrot and the greenThough my face grow gaunt and my

limbs grow lean.

Dear Seniors: Follows anothermethod of circumventing the under-classmen as regards the entering andexiting of doors. Again, as is thecase with capitalists (viz. Furness,Fairchild, and Buck), it is all a mat-ter of waiting.When the next dance. takes place,

forego, I beg you, the pleasure of im-porting an escort so that you may en-joy this unusual privilege. Take astroll about campus-c-enter the frontdoor of New London Hall, strollthrough the building with perfectconfidence that you will not be man-gled when you try to get out the low-er door. Proceed to all the otherbuildings on and off campus (exctud-Ing Knowlton). and do likewise. Ithink I am safe in promising that agratifying glow of warmth about theheart will be the result.

Jurisdiction: It was voted to addthe clause: "unless she is in. her ownhome" to the rule which states that"A girl is under college jurisdictionIf she spends the night in New Lon-don."

WHILE OTHERCOLLEGES-

Because of the general interest pre-vailing on campus in regard to smok-ing, the News has decided to printseveral articles relating to the ques-tion. The following have been takenfrom college papers:

SMOKING HARl\IFUL?College girlS who smoke are "not

harming their health as much as non-smokers who eat lots of candy. Thisis the conclusion reached by Dr. AnnaRlchar-daon, Smith College physician,after a survey of cigarette popularityamong students at that institution.In an article entitled "How Well

Are the Seniors T' Doctor Richardsongives facts and figures on the studentsmoking situation. As regards theclass that graduated in June, shefound that:Two-thirds of the girls were occa-

sional or habitual users of cigarettes.Twenty-one per cent. smoked five or20 cigarettes per day, 21 per cent.smoked one to four cigar-ettes perday, 23 per cent. smoked occastonanv,"either to be in it socially or not tofeel that they are silent rebukes totheir- friends"; 35 per cent. did notsmoke.Considering the effect of tobacco on

the student's health, Doctor Richard-SOn said that "actual harm in thesmoking itself is probably not so greatas continuously to nibble sweets."

"It must not be supposed, however.that in eschewing cigarettes the BrynMawr- girls have eschewed tobacco.They are smoking pipes.

"In general. these pipes conformwtt h the new femin,ine trend of fa~h-ion in haircuts and clothes by beinga, womanly as a pipe can he. Likethe wee pipes wbtch for decades havehr-en the so'ece of the ladies in Japanthe pipes of Bryn Mawr are usuallyslender and dainty, with small bowls.They are made of almost anythingyou fancy-ebony, rosewood, clayumbel', glass. Often they are slivermounted, and invariably they are decorated with a profusion of' inlay or ofpe trued designs."In them the giris use cigarette to

bncco. If you offer a Bryn Mawrstudent a cigarette these times sheaccepts it; but she is apt as not toproduce a pipe from the depths ofher slicker, ask you for another cig-arette or two and squeeze the tobaccofrom this collection into the pipebowl.

"Because woman is growing morefemale all the time-Paris dressmakera say so-she holds the little fingerat a feminine angle when she appliesthe match; and there is nothing innature more feminine than the wayagainst a distinctly remtntne heel, sheknocks out the ashes."

The first number of the concertseries was held Tuesday evening Oc-tober 30th, at the armory when SophieBraslau, contralto, gave a most de-lightful program.The singer made a charm inK en-

trance. She was very attractive, andhad a great deal of' poise. She had alovely speaking voice. and seemedfairly to radtg.te personality. Hermanner in singing was very dramatic;in every song she fitted herself intothe mood of it before starting andthen 'Put her entire self into the se-lection. Her voice was unusuallystrong and powerful, but never seemedto be too loud, or at all piercing, butrather very rich and resonant. Shedelighted her audience with her en-cores, which were more familiar se-lections. FollowIng Is the program:
