poser in the Greek tragic story Of
Icarus, who was killed while attempt
ing a fight, and it is ON this ancient
legend that the aviation opera, which
was produced at Nice recently, was
based The author of the libretto, NJ
Henri Cain. shows Icarus in the CEN
ter of the maze constructed by his
father, Daedalus. Despising the
allurements of nymphs and naiads,
the youth makes pair of wings with
the feathers of an eagle and tries to
fl from the top of cliff. In the final
sc me. in which lcarus dies from his
fall, the genius of science appears
and in a vision shows him the final
conquest of the air.
To show how the opera<is identified

that the music WAS composed by VI.

wealthy Frenchman who was one of
the first to have an airship built for
his own use.

tolerate.
Gloria was mistaken in thinking that

Dress reform has struck the high

movement has the Endorsement OF the
faculty, who say that graduation exer-

whose parents were not able. to afford
the expensive gowns have withdrawn
their children from school at the end
OF the term rather than have them en-
