Chenowith and Miss Francis Duncan as Cicero and Terenta were remarkably good; Miss Ruth Allen made charming and appealing little bride, Miss Helen Eubanlx an attractive groom, and Miss Chita Beasey a perfect young Cicero. As Luclus Piso, father of the groom. Miss Flora Harrison was excellent, while the minor characters were all well rem dered
 The first scene represented Sponsalia, the betrothal; the second, Nuptiae, the wedding ceremony; the third, Deductio. the procession to the groom's house. Every detail was carried out accurately, and the costumes artistic in design and color, were perfect reproductions of clas- sical dress.
 Perhaps the most remarkable part of the whole performance. was the way in which the girls had memorized their long and difficult roles In Latin, and the spirited way in which they acted, telling the story clearly, even to the few in the audi ence who understood not one word of what was being said.
 | Too much praise cannot be accorded Miss Ruth Allen, teacher of the Latin classes, under whose artistic management the plays were produced. She was ably assisted by Mrs. Ruff. the teacher of ex- pression, while Mrs. Chalifoux's exquisite music added to the charm of the fine | performance.

 The first little play, "A Roman School" was presented on the stage, which rep

 "Oh, don't mean she drinks said the ghl quickly.

"rhe bill to create department for women at the state university failed largely through the opposition of the alumni; but we expect it to pass next year.
 "Woman suffrage must come in one of two ways-either under pioneer conditions and those are long past with us--or else on wave of insurgency, as it did in California
 Miss Johnston said that a suffrage cara paign should be wisely planned ahead, like a game of chess She also expressed the belief that maternal instinct alone was not enough to secure good conditions for children: "A cat has maternal in stinct, but that does not always save her kittens from being drowned."
