At least, that is how all the writers before Vergil seemed to regard him, for they portrayed a very different Aeneas from the one who became the hero of Vergil's epic.

This was the substance of a talk on Vergil by Miss Nettie Dragiff before the Classical Club of the women's division of the Brooklyn College yesterday afternoon. Another talk on "Vergil, the Magician" was given by Hose Robbins, vice president of the club. Sallie Friedman r.nd Rita Somer-ville gave a program of other Ver-gilian subjects." The first issue of El Paraninfo. the newspaper published by both men's and women's divisions ol Brooklyn College, appeared today. It is a six-page paper containing contributions by the students.

"Italy Is a heauty in miniature, as opposed to the colossal scale of America," said Dr. Ceronl, Milaneso professor and now on the staff of Hunter College, in a talk before the fashion show put on under the auspices of one of Mr hattan's leading department stores. A cloth of gold pajama suit with a scarlet jacket drew applause from men and women alike. The bridal display, with bride and attendants all In white taffeta and satin, relieved only by bouquets of American Beauty roses, also received an ovation.
