The Ms Have It Twins and Names Cause Confusion A name, to quote Mr. Webster, is that by which a person is designated. In other words, a name is a convenience. an aid to distinction; a name at Munde lein, however, is not always a distinction. Tiie two Jeanne Kileys, for example, who registered in the freshman class caused so much initial confusion that one of them at once volunteered to be Alyce Jeanne. The two Gerry Kelly's must append to their names freshman or soph omore, as the case may be. to avoid con- I using everyone. The Mary's, as always, are in the lead. and. in addition to the 68 students who have this name, there are 7 Marie's, 7 Marian's. 2 Muriel's, a Maria, a Miriam, a Maryl, and a Marilyn, and there are 22 combinations of Mary with other names Louise, Ann, Catherine, Jean.

According to the fashion-magazines, the world is full of types, not just people who like this or look best in that. You may be a siren or a home-girl, ivory-skinned or camellia-skinned: you may be just the type for a feather-cut. or just the type to dazzle the onlookers with a shoulder-length bob. But what ever you are, you are a type. There fore, not to be outdone by either Vogue or Mi.i.e, we offer something in the way of types of entertainment. Are you the indoor type who likes outdoor sports? Then go to the spark ling Ice Follies. You can be comfort able while you enjoy precision skating at its best. If symphonic music is your delight or fixation, you're the type of girl who is already familiar with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. You will be doubly delighted then, to hear the or chestra, with Robert Casadesus as so loist, on Nov. 8. For the girl who is fond of foot lights and gay comedy. Junior Miss will more than fill the bill, should you visit her at the Harris theatre some night at 8:30. Are you the kind of girl who is spell bound by operatic arias? Or are you perhaps a devotee of that diminutive coloratura Lily- Pons? Whether you're the former or the latter, or a bit of both, you'll find something to your taste in the Chicago Opera Company's pre season presentation of Lakme, on Nov. 7. Besides Miss Pons, the cast includes Anna Kaskas. Raoul Jobin, and Alex ander Kipnis. If you're a girl who likes to feel that she's keeping up on events current (in version intentional, not typographic), the Charles Carroll Forum and the Art Institute offer something to entertain you while you learn. The Forum's next lecturer, on Nov. 1. will be Upton Close: Mr. Close is an authoritative commen tator on things Asiatic, and has chosen for his subject If We Take the Pacific. Tomorrow afternoon and a week from tomorrow, the Art Institute will con tinue its series on Rediscovering Ameri ca. Tomorrow's film will show Canada in Peace, and, next week's, the war time Canada. Wc seem to have ignored that one girl we all like to think we resemble the all-ri mud girl. If this i- your parti cular label then any one of the aforemen tioned should suit your fancy. Should you manage to sec and hear all of these, we'll guarantee that you'll make Sky- scrapings.
