A Midsummer Nights Dream.

The production of Shakes
peare's ga Midsummer Night S
Dream" by the Dramatic club of
Lexington college, under the di-
rection of Miss Lillian May Put
nam, at the opera house, was
complete and successful in every
particular. Elaborate costumes,
efficient stage direction and the
beautiful incidental music of
Mendelssohn, played by Miss
Robbins at the piano and the
orchestra, combined to make the
play highly enjoyable.
Miss Putnam is entitled to
great deal Of credit; for in adj
ditiOn to directing the entire pro-
duction she gave an excellent
presentation Of the part of Bot
tom. Working with girls, very
few of whom had seen previous
stage experience, she brought ex-
celent results from a ShakeSpear-
can drama.
The young ladies who took
part had their lines memorized
perfectly, which in itself was no
small accomplishments. Miss
Bernardine English as Puck
read her lines distinctly and
handled herself with charming
grace. Miss Lois Mayes as
Oberon, Miss Virgins Mcdaniel
as Titania, Miss Gabrielle Moore
as Lysander, Miss Elizabeth Viii
son as Demetrius, Miss Ruth
Chastain as Hernia and Miss
Matte Ban Browning as Helena
handled we'll the hardest of the

LoWnan, speaking of the game between
the Kansas Aggies and the University
of Arkansas at Kansas City the COM
ing Saturday. Il know that Arkansas
has a mighty good team and all that.
We can win that game if the men will

Coach Lowman will devote most OF
his time this week to building UP
strong offense. It is this that has
caused trouble all year. With the Of
Tense equaling the defense the coaches
do not fear for the Aggies' chances in
the coming contest. The Aggies had
many good plays that could not be
opened up Saturday because of adverse
weather conditions. The wind made
the forward pass a dangerous article.
The kicking has shown but slight inn
provement. The coach has PollOm and
Howentsine change from the drop kick
to the old standby, the place kick The
Aggies are ever at loss for a kicker
of some sort. Howenstine. Pollom,
Sims, Prather, Young and Schuster
have had chances at booting. HoWen-
slime has had the best success Sims
kept calling punts and the wisdom of
it was shown as the Creighton goal
doomed up nearer and nearer with every
exchange of DuntS.

He lost a couple of months after being

He fell onto the plate after being
struck and declared his shoulder was
broken. Then he went home and

a physician to examine the shoulder

until the end of the season. He has
asked the commission for his full

The Knitted Toque.


They are of wool-red or white usually
and they are knitted or crocheted loosely
in the shape of tisht-ftting skating caps
afghans.
Sometimes they are perfectly plain;
sometimes they are bordered with dark
fur; sometimes at the left side they have
long quill-feather or kid or velvet
caught by little half moon ornament.
Never anything more than that-simplic-
ity is their raison d'etre.
They are certainly very stunning, and
they are very easy to make. II you
crochet at all you must have one OF
them, and IL you don't crochet you must
learn how.
Probably they won't live very long
beyond this winter. but Paris has de-
creed them, and so this season. they are
quite the thing. In Paris they wore them
first to the races-a little girl selling doll
caps at the gates thought Of them first,
they say-and now they are seen every
where that tailored suit is in evidence:
For country tramps or for any Open-air
exercises they are ideal, since they At

Broom PincuShion.

A dainty novelty is the broom pin
cushion. For this you will require a
large fiat cork. meat skewer Ia new
one, of course) and a few yards Of baby
ribbon in some bright shade.
Cut small hole in the cork and in
sert the skewer firmly through it. Now
wind skewer and cork together with the
ribbon until they are entirely covered
Two bows on the skewer will hold the
ribbon tight SO far.
The broom effect you will gain by the
pins: they must be driven thickly into
the under side of the cork, holding the
ribbon at that point. and at the same
time giving a very good imitation Of a
tiny metal broom. These make very
nice favors at informal parties, club
meetings, etc.
