For Its Staff Stunt

TINE members of the staff at the

nights of this week under the title of
The STAFF Stunt" This is the annual

we have the word Of Miss Elsie Bunt-

rather than tragic atmosphere.
Miss Charlotte Baer, the accom-
plished swimming instructor of the
association, will give a clog dance.
Miss Florence Dunlop, secretary Of the
business girls department, and Miss
Jean Campbell. head Of the publicity
department Of the association, will
give an Interpretation somewhat like

NAMES FOR GIRLS

woman to the mystic Sphinx because
she has always proved such an un-
solvable puzzle to man. The one name
! which stands out in this group is
Xantippe. which is famous through
out the shades of history as the name
of the wife of Socrates. the Greek
philosopher. Like many other great
men. Socrates was trial to his fam
lily and particularly his wife. and al
though tradition has labeled Aantippe
as possessing a particularly highly
seasoned tongue and a tropical tenn

just enough to admit the most trying
qualities Of her husbands disposition
woman. One standard authority says
in this regard:
'Xantippe's shrewish temper is pro-
verbal. hut probah bly, many of the stories
about her are false; for an ancient
fection OF a fine art. The point and not
necessarily the truth was the chief
consideration in telling story:
Xantippe's natural inequalities of
temper were heightened by the pecu-
indifference to the commonplace duty
laid on the head OF the house to make
both ends meet. The philosopher re-
ceived her reproaches with such good
humored Indifference that it is not
surprising that she sometimes re-

tongue: as on the occasion when she

Considering such conditions. one can
forgive the much-tried Nantippe much
of her temper Vet can realize what
a detriment it would be to any girl
of today to possess such an unfortu-

literal meaning of the name has been
suggested as yellow hanging" but

faults may have been. Her motto

Like so many other things We have
to make children do against their
will. piano practice is drudgery
pure and simple. and is rarely made
enjoyable in itself. To begin with,
youngsters are almost never comfort
able at the piano. Their little legs
dangle in the air with nothing to
support them. and If you think that
is comfortable try it yourself for half
an hour and see how you feel. One
