Marguerite Beck, and one of the most
popular students at Radcliffe, she in

roles in several plays Of widely diff
ferent character, and she is soon TO
give US another proof OF her versa

Another form OF dancing has been
revived for the Pageant in the old
Morris dance, which, though Of Moor
ish origin. was popular in England at
the time Of Henry VII At its height
