spersed with scenes of fairy fan
tasy, will be presented at the Wo-
mems College of Delaware on two
successive evenings, March Is and

tation only, the College acting as

The play is by DR.. John Robert
Moore, and it is being staged with

ty. The lighting devices, costum-
ing, stage appurtenances, and even
the tickets and programs are being

Wood of Kilmarney; Act |, Scene
II, Kilmarney Green during a May
day festival; Act II, Scenes | and
IL, a hedge before the Wood of

The story of the play is centered
about Kitty Corcoran, the little
goose girl whose kindness the
fairies reward by Strengthening
her crooked back. Maurteen Mac
Carthy, the hunchback shepherd
boy, tries to secure a similar re-
ward, but irritates the fairies sc
by his insolence that they add Kit,
tvs hump to the one he already
wears. When Kitty learns that
Maureteen is carrying her burden
upon his twisted back, she agrees

News Items From The
Women's College
Open Night


Last Saturday night was a gay
time at the college. 1t being open
night, Mrs. Virginia j. Lattomus,
of Wilmington, the guest of Miss
Hllda Stevens, gave a series of
readings and impersonations,
which were enthusiastically re-
ceived by the audience. First she
read a little story called THE
Second Trial." and for an encore
gave an impersonation of a small
boy complaining of having to go
to school. Then Miss Kathryn
Stevens played, after which Mrs.
Lattomus sang "The Necklace of
Love- and mighty LAX Rose"
by Nevin, and following the songs,
and impersonation of a matinee
girl. For an encore she gave a
pianologue, "The Tin Gee-Gee." :"
She next contrasted two types of
small boys, by impersonating a
cheerful little cripple and an i'm
plsh youngster of seven. Finally
she sang Goodnight, Little Girl,
Goodnight" When Mrs. Lattomus
refused to answer the continued
applause except to bow, Miss Win
slow announced that dancing
would be in order the rest of the
evening.
Sophomore Class Party
Saturday night the Sophomores
at the Women's College had a
spread" The infrmary was
chosen as the largesc room for the
affair, and as it is now used as a
dormitory the residents gladly Of
fered it. "The eats were heaven
ly,' so the girls declared, and the
menu, for wartime, seemed to
justify the extravagant adjective
1t consisted of fruit salad, olive
maze, sandwiches, cake, and ice
cream.
Chapel Exercises
The Red Cross held a meeting
in chapel Monday when various
members gave pithy sentences and
live-wire reasons for joining the
Red Cross. Perhaps these argu-
ments, added to the efficient work
of the twelve captains and the
CHEEKY encouragement of Miss
Beckett, had their effect, for at the
end of the drive forty-fve new
members had been added to the
original sixty.

MAYOR K0NKEL Gets COLD FEET
superior Common Runs Away Avoid Responsibility City
Will Vote Change Form of Government Blind
pgger from Duluth Secures Superior Liquor License.

Hon. Joseph S. Konkel, mayor
of Superior, recently got cold feet
and showed the white feather.
His favorite occupation, munici-
pal politics, was the compelling
cause.
Mayor Konkel lodged his duty
and ran away, so the people say,
and they are positive as to the
facts in the case. The story is
both interesting and instructive.
Many men of all classes in Su-
perior, rich and poor, wet and
dry, highbrows and roughnecks,
feel that Superior is suffering
from "Too much Konkel, O'Hare
and Tomlinson.''
Many weeks ago, petitions were
put in circulation, asking the three
city commissioners to call an elec-
ton for the purpose Of voting on
change in the form Of city gov
ernment-a change calling for a
mayor and a councilman from
each of ten wards instead of three
commissioners at large, as now.
That move made Mayor Konkel
lather under the collar. He had
no more desire to lose his office
Of honor and emolument than did
O'Hare and Tomlinson.
After weeks of deliberate cir
culation, the petition received but
1892 names. The Dauntless Three
believed that this proved the un-
popularity Of the proposed change
in form of government but, not
wishing to take unnecessary
chances, they decided to find the
petition deficient on the grounds
that too many of the signers were
not legal voters.
Mayor Konkel, however, lacked
the courage to take the response
bility of that step. He "passed
the buck" to O'Hare, who pos
sesses the brains of the Trium-
virate, and went on a long jour
ney, returning only a few days
ago.
But the hackers of the proposed
change in the form Of city govern
ment proposed to take no chances.
They started a second set Of Pc
titions and, in four days, turned
in 1,642 names, a stunt that
startled and almost stunned
mayor Konkel. He had predicted
that fewer signers would be Sc
cured for the second petition than

that they again would spill the
beans.
A row of Herald representatives
sat there in the board room with
a dignity and impressiveness that
made onlookers think Of the su-
preme court Of the United States.
The heads of the delegation were
congratulated on finding out
where the headquarters of the
board of county commissioners
are located in the marble-lined
courthouse and a hint given that,
henceforth, any county printing
business better be transacted there
instead Of going to the Spiders
Den.
The Herald boys said that they
understood the situation now and
tacitly admitted that they had
learned something of value.
The Secretary of the Herald
delegation was informed before
the meeting that he would be
called on to address the commits
sioners but that pleasure was de-
MED them for, as soon as the vote
awarding the plums was an
nounced. Mr.. Secretary quickly
slipped out into the marble-lined
hall.
Thus ended the recent lesson to
the wise old Herald.
