At the Union Leap Year party they claimed that they placed canvas over the faces of the deadlier sex, and then allowed the men to pick their partners. We suggest that the Union make a permanent feature of this. Our Dilly Dally claims that the wo- men at this affair would glance at each new couple, and would seemingly ask, "Did you ask him or did he ask you?" Don't you believe it. The sen- tence should read, "Huh, it's a darn good thing this is 'a Leap-Year Party, or YOU wouldn't be here. And that same old dress, too!"

CIRCLE FRANCA IS PLAY MAlKES HIT' PA RTS ARE WELL hAND lLEI "La Grammaire," the entertaining Laliche comedy given .by the Cercle Francais in Barbour gymnasium last evening, scored a distinct, success. The four members of 1he faculty who took the leading parts Proved beyond doubt that the stince of teaching does not in any way conflict with the histrionic art, and the audi- ence was kept in a continual state of laughter. , In fact each role was very well handled, and special mention should, be made of the work of Profs. Kenyon and Canfield. The former as the de- ceitful servant was excellent, and Prof. Canfield as the archaeologist who doesn't know the difference be- tween Jean's broken dishes and old Roman relics displayed real talent. The difficulties of a well-meaning father who is illiterate and constant- ly forced to pretend that he is not, along with the accomplishments of Jean, his servant, left no dearth of funny situations. Preceding the play there were vocal and instrumental selections by 1r. Rodney Parker, and Lee Parker. Miss Florence Snyder and James South- worth acted as accompanists. The music was excellent and well appre- ciated by the audience. After the play the Cerele held a dance on the first floor of the gynina- silum.

This, he said., is not possible at present although dredges in the past four months have shown that they can maintain an am- ple channel when not interrupted by passing ships.

In a recent census at the univer- siy of Indiana, 98 per cent of the students interviewed expressed a be- lief in religion, but many confessed that they did not know what they meant by the term. The answers raied from a definition of religion as an intellectual standard to a be- lief in the sufficiency of the moral life. That state of affairs is quite tyliical of the normal campus thought. The average student is quite con- tent with the assertion that the Gol- d(en Rule is religion enough for him, forgetful of the fact that he is sub- scribing to a mode of living so ideal that few can attain it; a mountain region of moral practice. No doubt it is easy to say that the Sermon on the Mount his religion enough for the average fellow, but how to attain that brotherly spirit and temper of mind is the puzzling problem. \Vhen a university fresh- man confessed that his room-mate was a good Christian but hard to get along with, he placed religion in a sphere by itself and divorced it from every day life. Religion ought to be the power that makes a man a good companion. No individual can qualify as a good Christian and a bad associate. The terms are mutualy exclusive. Its like praising a dinner as excellent while admitting that the food lacked all nutritive value. The end toward which we are all striving is a true brotherhood of right thinking and liv- ing, and if religion does not make a man a better companion, it is not performingits function. , Let astudent frankly set himself to the task of fulfilling the terms of the Sermon on the Mount and if he is sineere, he will confess that he is eagerly searching for a power to aid him in his living. That power or drive which makes possible the type olife which we all desire, is' re- ligion. 'hleda ara at the Majestic. That celebrated author Bartley Campbell, wrote the Galley Slave.

After consulting representative cit- izens of Detroit, Mr. Rabinoff decided to give Puccini's melodious "La Bo- heme," which will be'followed by the first presentation in that city of the Spanish Ballet, a novelty in this coun- try, in which Mme. Pavlowa never ap-; peared until last fall. The organization, which comes here direct from its splendid successes in New York: Beston, Philadelphia, Washington and other representative eastern cities, includes the same dis- tinguished artists which captivated both critics and public, substantially the same orchestra and chorus, the same artistic directors 0(1 the same beautiful scenery and costumes which are of the finest character ever before shown in this country save in such cities as New York and Boston. The cast for "La Bohenme includes either the celebrated English lyric so- prano, Miss Maggie Teyte, who sang at the Paris Opera Comique, Covent Garden, London, and the Philadelphia opera; or the great American soprano, Felice Lyne; Mle. Olivete Marcel, a young lyric soprano, who has made rapid strides in her profession and is now looked upon as one of the most promising in opera; Riccardo Martin, or Guiseppo Gaudenzi, the distin- uishged Italian lyric tenor; Thomas Chalmers, the American baritone, or Graham Marr, formerly at Covent Garden and the Chicago Opera Com- pany, and regarded as one of the finest of American baritones; Jose Mardones, who has appeared in all the best European opera houses and is conceded to be Spain's foremost basso; Giorgo Puliti, the splendid Italian baritone,. and Paolo Ananian, for many years one of the most re- liable of the New York Metropolitan Opera Ilouse baritones. Maestro Rob- erto Moranzoni, whose conducting has recently caused him to be called young Tosanini, will direct the per- formance. Following "La Boheme," the Span- ish Bal let, performed to music by Moskowski, Massenet and Glazounov, will be given with Mime.
