Opening the heart to let Miss
Kingsbury out were two runners
up to the Best Dressed Girl, Vir
ginia Haney, Pi Beta Phi, and Ger
aldine Hawkins, Gamma Thi Beta.
The Best Dt-essed Girl wore a blue
and white formal topped by a red
jacket, and received red roses
from Virginia Clemans, AWS pres
ident. Miss Hancy was sophisti
cated in an oyster white chiffon
formal with a matching turban,
and Miss Hawkins was quaint and
young in blue net trimmed with
black lace.
The audience shouted approval
for the Tri-Delt skit as six pledges
in very short white satin dresses
woke three actives, helped them
get off to class, comforted thep
over down slips, approved theii
boy friends, and congratulated
them over pin hanings. Humor

came back from their dates.

Tilly Lish, Mortimer Snerd, Joan

"Secretarial work is the best
opening on a woman's magazine
and offers the widest acquaintance
with the various phases of the
magazine which makes for future
advancement," said Miss Kather
ine Clayberger speaking yesterday
in Ellen Smith on the vocational
possibilities of the magazine pub
lishing field.
Miss Clayberger outlined the
departments and sections of the
Woman's Home Companion, of
which she is associate editor, and
spoke of the personnel and the
work which each department
covers.
"Our magazine receives thou
sands of manuscripts for the fic
tion department every year," said
the Companion editor. She told of
the attempt to get balanced fic
tion sections in each magazine, by
varying stories and articles.
Fashion department work is not
all a bed of roses, according to
Miss Clayberger, and demands al
most undivided time and attention
as well as skill and aptitude. Miss
Clayberger also told of the work
of the Companion's Paris editor,
Marjorie Howard.
Reader editor department is one
of the newer phases of the maga
zine. Readers from ',11 over the
country contribute ideas and fill
out questionnaires to help the
magazine, said Miss Clayberger.

advertising side of the magazine,
the Consumers Research depart
ment, the Better Babies Bureau,
