Psychoiony of Frey, /.

DR.. Thomas Claye Shaw of London,
speaking en- the subject of the special
psychology of women, says that taere
is psychology in clothes. 1t is use
less to say that they dress as they
do to please other women or please
men. They dress simply because
they have to in their own way and
to their own satisfaction. The psy.
chology of dress is that it appears to

HIGH SCHOOL "NEMEAD"
PROVES A BIG SUCCESS
Opening of Handsome New Auditorium
Is Celebrated with Fine Enter
tainment and Big Hall Is
Crowded

The High School Nemead, an enter
tainment given Friday and Saturday
nights in celebration of the opening of
the new auditorium, was a great sue
cess, everything working without a
hitch.
The auditorium was packed with en-
thusiastic school supporters. The
building was a beautiful sight with its
many lights and green plush curtain
The staging was also fine. Three CON-
plete sets of scenery were used.
The first number on the program was
a drill given by the girls and boys
gymnasium clubs, in which they went
through several complicated exercises
perfectly.
Directly following this the boys
Glee club rendered a number with a
setting representing the meet before
the hunt. Number three was musical
sketch given by football boys dressed
as select ballet dancers. This scored
a great hit, as the chorus was made uI
of the tallest, the shortest, the fattest
and the thinnest-all dressed in low
neck and short skirt dresses.
The last number before the intermis-
sion was one of the best. 1t was q
football farce given by some of the
school football players.
The scene was of a room from which
the football field of neighboring col
lege could be seen. The play centers
about hero football player and the
heroine, who is in love with him; ar
old man, a small sized kid, who is q
terrier; bowery trainer and a few
others as the support. The plot is g
game of football mixed with love ano
ends happily for all.
The first number after the intermis.
sion was "A Fantasy given by q
group of English students. 1t deals
with the nymphs and other deities OF
the Greek myths.
The sixth scene was a chalk tall
given by three of the most promising
young artists of the school, witt
sketches. 1t was good. Many jokes
were got off on different members o.
the school.
The last number, but not the least
was "A College Reunion, with Musica
Murmurs by Merry Men" They CAV,
some enjoyable college songs and {
quartet did some harmonious worl
with late medleys. This closed thu
evening of one of the most enjoyable
entertainments that has ever been pre-
sented at that school.
