Miss Bro0alall Fairy
Coach IN Unique Play
NO EFFORT BEING sPARED ON

GIVEN DEC. is.

Nj Miss Broomhall, It was announced
recently, will have charge OF drilling
the fairies in "A Midsummer Nights,
Dream to be presented BY the Nor
NAL school Dramatic club at the audi
torium on Dec. Is. It is the fairies
that give the play Its character, for
q dream has its own cosmos which
Shakespeare here supplies with the
fairy world. and while the play ap-
peared among the nrst Of that great
writer, It ranks among his best. It
is ever a delightful and unique com
edy.
''It's very essence writes Dr.. Hud-
son.. = 6hakespearean commentator,
,,"ist irretuhfity 50 that II cannot
fairly be brought to the test Of rules.
the play forms properly Q class by
itself; literature has nothing with
which It may be compared. and It's
merits adjusted. For so the poet has
here exercised powers apparently diff
fering even in kind, not only from
those of other writer's. but from those
displayed in any Of his own writings.
Elsewhere, If his characters are
penetrated with the ideal their where
about lies in the actual, and the work
may in some measure be judged by
that life which it claims to represent:
here the whereabout is as ideal as
the characters: all is in the land Of
dreams, place for dreamers not for
critics. For who can tell what
dream ought or ought not to be, or
when the natural conditions Of dream
life are or are not rightly observed?
'1How can the laws Of time and
space, as involved in the transpira-
ton Of human character, how can
these be applied in q place where the
mind is thus absolved from their
proper jurisdiction? Besides, the
whole thing swarms with enchant-
ment; all the sweet witchery Of
Shakespeare's sweet genius is concen-
trated In it., yet disposed with so sub
tie and cunning a hand, that we can
as little grasp it as get away from It.
It's charms, like those Of q summers
evening are such as we may see and
feel, but cannot locate or define: can
not say they are here, or they are
there: the moment we yield ourselves
up to them, they seem to be every
where; the moment we go to master
them, they seem to be nowhere. :

On North Dakota Winds
GEoGRAPhY INSTRUCTOR TELLS
REASONS FOR AND RESULTS
OF AIR MOVEMENTS.

into the belts of the terrestrial winds
places North Dakota in the belt of the
Prevailing Westerlies. Since, how
ever, many of our winds do not come
from the west, but from all points OF
the compass, we must look for other
controlling factors to which these var
iations may be ascribed. Daily OBJ
servations taken all over the United
States, and parts Of Canada, show
that there are areas of low pressure,
followed by areas of high pressure
moving eastward at the average rate
Of 700 miles per day, but varying from
less than half to over twice that rate.
These belts of low pressure re"
semble in their movements the little
whirlwind We see moving along the
dusty road or ED in summer, except
that these are on much larger scale,
varying from one to two hundred
miles to nearly two thousand miles in
diameter.
Direction Of Winds.
Since the movement Of the wind is
always from the high to the low pres
sure, at the same level, it is obvious
that the direction of the wind at any
time for a given location will depend
upon it's position relative to the high
and low pressure areas. Thus if q
wind sets in from the east or south
east, we may know that the center Of
the low" or Cyclone" is to the west
or northwest. And since the move
ment is in general easterly, We may
expect it to approach us. Now If the
wind begins to shift to the southwark,
we know that the center of the Glow"
is passing to the north of us. But if
the wind shifts to the northeast and
the north, we know the center of the
slow" is passing to the south of US.
The rapidity with which the barome-
ter falls will indicate, something of
the speed of the approach.
N -. Causes Of Precipitation. ..,.ss
Since the movement Of the winds is
toward the center of the Glow" and
Ont from the center Of the high" in
III directions, it follows that the move
nent in tie center Of the Tow must
be upward and in the center Of the
high" downward. Now since upward
currents of, air expand and become
cooled, condensation and precipitation
are likely to result. The greater the
difference in pressure for short dis
tances the greater the velocity of the
wind, and hence the greater the vol
ume of the ascending air in the cen
ter of the "'low," and the greater the
probability of storm. Hence, when
we have an east wind we say it is
going to storm. Yet how few of us
realize what the real atmospheric con-
ditions are and that a storm area of
more or less definite shape is actually
approaching, and that if We observe
the wind changes we may be able to
follow its course. When its center mas
passed us, shown us by the shifting OF
the winds to a westerly course, we
will recognize the approach Of a
high" and it's accompanying bracine
mir and clearing skies. sg.

DetermlnlSm' S Place
in0uf Social Fabric.

CBy Miss Candis Nelson, Instructor
in Psychology.)
The theory Of recapitulation has
strengthened the school Of determin.
lists in education and We are called
upon to say whether we are determin.
lists or libertarians. Ny answer would
be: II am determinist there is no
help for it. II am ltbertarian it
is matter Of choice. The fact is
that am neither. therefore, am a
libertarian.
The study of heredity and environ
ment teaches us that in larger meas
ure, at least, our present and future
are dependent on heredity and it's be-
stowal of capacity, and on environ
INIT in furnishing US an opportunity
for the development of that capacity.
If child is born Of criminal and
degenerate parents with ancestry on
both sides of similar sort, and is
brought up under this fostering in
fluence, the chances are ninety-nine
to hundred that he will be what
heredity and environment has willed
him to be. But with 9 like ancestry
and the fostering care Of q good en-
vironment the chances are that in 80
per cent Of the cases, according to
Kirkpatrick, he will become q good
and useful citizens. In both OF these
cases there is the element Of deter
minism and thus far believe in its
doctrine.

the one who has willed him thus.
Is society modelled on the doctrine
Of determinism? do not believe It
is; perhaps not as much as it should

on the other hand it seems detrimen-
tai to progress to commit ourselves to
such teaching where there is not alb

There are two other odd and rather

ristccracies. The moderately rich
include all kinds of people-even
good people. Even priests are some
times saints; and even soldiers are
sometimes heroes. Some doctors have
really grown wealthy by curing their
patients and not by 1attering them;
some brewers have been known to
sell beer. But among the very rich
you will never find really generous

give their money away, but they will
never give themselves away; they are

LACE ON EVERYTHING
NEVER WAS THERE SUCH A PRO.
FUSION AS THIS SEASON.
Almost Every Article Of Feminine
Raiment Carries This Adornment

which no lace appeared she would be
likely TO return weary and empty

erywhere. The most unpretentious Of
little silk or wool gowns are designed
with the lace collar and cuffs pre-
supposed and even on the least ex.
pensive models these are supplied in
cheap but effective laces. There new

are in great demand, to be worn with
silk or other gowns. These are all
separate garments which, like the col
lar and cuffs, may be adjusted with
any costume. Nothing is smarter
than the small coats of heavy lace

very beautiful worn with linen dresses

consummate cleverness. There are
marvels of management In graceful
lines and effective contrast in those
models in which lace is incorporated
into the gown. One may find three
and sometimes even four varieties of
lace in one model, each seeming the
best for its place.
All the summer dresses have chin
isettes or guimps of lace. Models
made of wolfe or marquisette, or any
of the sheer summer fabrics employ
the lace trimmed f1chu and frills Of
lace at the @eeves and neck. Heavier
laces are used on silk dresses and on
the long wraps of satin which are so
useful and so graceful.
1t is the same story of high favor if
one explores the millinery field to
find out what milady of fashion
most admires. With the advance Of
summer and the DOMINIC Of lingerie
gowns we may expect to see the
vogue increase in the matter of lace
hats And it is not likely that laces
will pass out with the summer, for
some of the newest ones are superb
when combined with velvet, whose
vogue is just we'll started. So we may
expect to see them in the models for
fall. In fact the bodice of lace or net
or chiffon is more beautiful than any
made Of heavier fabrics and far more
supple and becoming. 1t is the day
OF laces and only the morning Of that
day.

Perhaps the large cuffs are partly
to blame for this, for one must need
have sleeves to fill them out.
But it is difficult to place the latest
sleeves in any one period since many
individual models combine points Of
fashion from two or even more pc
RODS.
There is ore sleeve, however, which

voluminous styles in which the trim

TRIMMING FOR LEGHoRN HAT
Garland of Highly CoIored Flowers
the Most Appropriate That Can
Be Devised.

A round leghorn seen recently had
a garland Of fiat flowers applied tight
to the brim near its edge. A band of
blond inserting about eight inches
wide was laid on the brim over the
flowers and gathered in around the
crown by a tight chain of flowers.
This hat was decidedly low, the
crown being hardly more than three
inches. The lace heading stood up
around the crown and was about an
inch higher. Naturally this formed
rather a full ruche, since the insert
ing covered the whole brim and this
edge was corded with French blue vel
vet. which reminds us to record the
fact that touches Of blue and other
colors are often introduced on hats
by means of a binding or very small
bow, usually of velvet ribbon. French
blue, primrose and mustard are the
eolors most often introduced in this
way. This is a Partisan touch, quite
out Of the ordinary, and a clever way
