Pledge club, Zeta chapter of lota

the home of Soror Esther Sanders,
on Saturday night awaiting their
very apparent doom amidst all the
mystery surrounding initiation into
a Greek letter society.
The initiation ceremony was im

Phyllis Griffin, president of the
chapter. Those inducted Into the
sorority chapter were Mrs, Cadbnce
Hines. Bennie Thompson and John

field, which made them eligible
for membership in lota Phi Lambda.
Social Session Follows
A social session followed the in

gathered about the beautifully ap
pointed table, decorated in the color
scheme, green and white, the lota
Phi Lambda colors. The center of
the table held the insignia, tri-;

symbolizing the neophytes, with |

; On these hot days, your idea of i
j beauty narrows down to just one
i word, COOL. You would like to be
; cool, charming and refreshing all
| the time. The following suggestions
I may help.
Let us start by not talking to
i others about the weather. Be serene
j but not bored. This summer try to
'do something you have always
j wanted to do such as paint, knit,
sew. read good books and magazines,
study local and current events,
i While doing these things you relax j
I the mind and body. Don't hurry. |
j Take your time. Arise early and
| enjoy the fresh morrrtng air. get
; chores done before noon. Keep
' quiet, key your own voice low.
hpthers witt follow strit. Be im
peccably fre«h Wear light, simple.
>r>Tc ard span clothes Specialize in
wu<hable outfits A tidy house is
restful and refreshing.
Take more baths, be generous In
the use of fluffy lather and bath j
salts. Spray your body with tangy |
c Eogne with a springtime qr garden
sroma. Renew your make-up often,
cleansing off every trace of stale
i cosmetics each time. Use a sunburn
preventive and brown to a becom
! ing tint. Wash you hair regularly
j to keep it clean, nice to look at, nice
j to touch; keep it off your neck and
face, arrange simply and protect
from too much sun. Use a perspira
| tion check often, or dress shields
;.nd a deodorant daily. Use only
. light creams and lotions to keep
i your skin velvety smooth and
, lovely. Save your eyes from glare
! and squint lines. Wear a good pair
of sun glasses. Keep your skin
in the refrigerator. Ice
J cubes are excellent as a freahner
and astringent Be generous in the
use of dusting powder and, let your
perfume be of the same scent. Try
either the garden *romas or the
