at one time. We should think only
good and cheerful thoughts. Every
one should have stock OF good
thoughts made by the places we
visit. the people we meet and the
books we read. We must deliberate
ly choose our thoughts. We should
feed our mind upon the word Of God
which is full OF good thoughts. The
second habit Is the habit Of high
mindedness The right attitude to-
wards people who make mist axes
is an important part Of this habit.
Good books, good surroundings, good
thoughts help In the formation Of
this habit The habit OF not david
ling is another important habit to-
cultivate. We waste so much time
IN nom essential things. If one is a
dawdler in physical life, he Is moral
ly weak also. The habit OF decision
comes next. People as a rule are In
decisive. II we train the body the
mind will be trained. Making up our
minds promptly viii also help us
10 have the habit OF decision. The
fifth necessary habit is the habit Of
duty. Gods Commandments are
duties They are: Be courteous. be
kind. be holy. Church going is a duty
since Il is a part OF the duty to wor-
shin God. The last habit o. tNo haoit
of prayer. II we pray reverently
and regularly we will have all other
good habits as the result Of praying.
The spirit OF prayer should be with
us always. Definite prayer is always
answered II Il is for the good OF the
one who prays.
The Dramatic Club had charge OF
the chanel period on Friday morn
ing. Miss Mabel Tebo, the presi-
dent. invited the faculty and stu
dent body to the performance OF
the Turtle Doves" which Will be
given after the Christmas dinner on
Thursday evening. Miss Tebo also
announced the plays which will be
given by the combined dramatic
clubs OF the Women's College and
Delaware College early in January
The casts for the three one-act plays
which will be given has been select
cd and rehearsals have already been
begun. After these announcements
Miss Agnes Snyder and Dean Rob
inson spoke about dramatics. Miss
/ Snyder spoke OF why we like dra-
matics. Miss Snyder is the teacher
Of psychology and knows all about
I instincts and such matters. The
subject was TO have been the dra-
matte instinct. since there Is no real
dramatic instinct, the subject had
to be changed. The liking for dra-
matics is developed from the in-
stinct OF self-assertion and the in
stinct to dominate. Usually when
one begins to dominate, there is the
same desire aroused in the person
who Is dominated. An actor dom
mates his aud cnce FOR tho time be-
ing. and instead OF resisting, the au-
dience responds 10 the domination.
The instinct OF seif-assertion Is sat
lshed in acting. We have many
selves. BY taking a part in a play,
we can be our good selves or our
bad selves. Dramatic arts are a
sort OF safety valve for ourselves
and others.
Dean Robinson spoke OF the dra
matics at the Women's College
particularly. Dean Robinson com
phmented the club on giving ever
one n chance to act. on the fact tina
people are chosen to be character
In the plays and not plays chosen foi
| people. Every girl should take par
In dramatics. 10 will help he tc
l.develop self-control. that prime req
uisite TO happy life, II will heir
her to gain knowledge Of all sorts
Since people demand entertainment.
IL is part Of a woman's civic re-
sponsibility that she know good
plays and moving pictures and that
she insist that her town have only
good entertainment.
