group of Italian compositions, a collec-tion
of French folk-songs, and a number
of American songs, with some Italian
numbers between the groups.

consisted of: "Pastorale," by Ver-acini;
"Piaceri Psnciulleschi," by Me-aart;
"Bergerette," by Pechi; and "Bpir-ate
Pur,' Bpirate," by Donaudy. These
numbers, written in her native" language,
portrayed the personality, aa well aa
the magnificent singing qualities, of
Miss Murio.
The French collections, Which she gave
next, ware: "Cost Mon Ami," an old
folk-tune; "Noeturae," by French; «Ls
Coeur dc Ma Mie," Dalerose; and "Lea
Filles de Cadi*," Delibes. "Lea Filles
de Cadiz'' received great applause from
the listeners, calling for a number of
encores- These short, comical solos
brought oat her personality perhapa
more than any of the preceding num-bers.
But it waa the American songs that
were most enthusiastically received.
These were: •^Phyllis Baa Such Charm-ing
Graces," by Wilson; "Yesteryear,"
by Crist; "Lullaby," by Shadwiek; and
"Under the Greenwood Tree," by Rossi
Peccia. '

In spite pf the rather bad weather
that has marked the opening of toe
fall sport season, a good number of
people turned out for the first practice.
For the last week, the weather being
mueh better for outdoor sports, many
more have joined the aspiring ranks of
the would-be teams.
The ranks of soccer players are show-ins;
marked iscrossss, The freshman
are showing an Unusual interest in soc
cer, about 45 girls coming out. Under
the fine coaching ef Mist Fitowator
and two physical education majors,
Margaret Whitehurst and Louise' Con
ner, they are being rounded out into a
team with good prospects. The sopho
more soccer team of last year with sev-eral
new additions to their lists, is giv-ing
promise of future successes, while
junior and senior teams, of former
fame, are coming out in great style.
In hockey, the other major sport of
the season, the new blue-aad-white class
is showing enthusiasm in the numbers
turning out to the practices. Sopho-mores
are developing a strong team, and
prospects for the class games are good.
The juniors, who last year were dose
to the chsmpionahip, are rounding, out
an excellent team. The seniors are
proving the years of practice in the
strong playin% of the practice games.
In archery there is unlimited oppor-tunity
for success, aa the sport is com-paratively
new here. Very few have
gone out and it ia urged that anyone
interested go out and learn.
While tennis and swimming are not
regular fall sports, many girls are tak-ing
the opportunity to practice for the
sports now. Tennis seems to be un-usually
popular thia fall, and every dip
period is well-filled.

the menace Is assuming the proportions

all other things of a serious and up-lifting
nature have been excluded, and
minutes, and hours, and days are oc-cupied
in vain efforts to master the
art of yo-yo manipulation. Teachers at
the Training School deprive their stu-dents

The halls are full of them, the busi-ness

if you hear a sudden squeal way after
midnight, you will know that someone
