Manager Jones, of the baseball
team, recently received a letter from
the manager of a ball team which had
visited Guilford College expressing
appreciation of the courtesy and hos
pitality with which the visiting team
had been treated while here. It may
not be known to some Guilfordians
that Guilford has a reputation for
■this sort of thing, not only in the
matter of hospitality, but also in the
fair and sportsmanlike manner in
winch we conduct ourselves in all
athletic contests. No one should talk
about his own virtues, but it might
be well to mention this thing in or-
der that we might be all the more
careful in living up to our reputa-
tion. If our teams can continue to
be made up of clean fair-minded
siportsmen who will do the square
thing regardless of what the other
man does it will be worth a good
many State dhampiionships. We must
take our victories as well as our de
feats in a quiet, self-controlled man
ner and let them speak for them
selves. The recent attempt to ad
vertise a basket ball victory by paint
ing up the landscape was hardly in
line with the Guilford spirit.
SYNOPSIS OF "LA
L/BTTRE PERDUE"
Come to the French Play Thursday
at 8 O'clock
The play is a satire on the would
be literary life at the Countess of
Ceran's castle and the action consists
of complications arising from a lost
letter.
Act I. —Francois, .the butler, is
hunting a letter. Enter Lucy, who
wishes the letter, but will not admit
that it is hers. Enter M. and Mme.
Paul Raymond, wfho are arriving as
guests. Exit butler. M. Raymond
criticises this wife for her behavioT
and insists that if she wishes to be
come the wife of a minister sihe must
follow certain rules, such as smile
and talk little, but pretend ito know
much by quoting phiilosohipers and
(historians and by talking politics.
Hier only recreations may be a walk
in the garden, music and whist. She
escapes further advice by starting to
ptlay some light opera, wihen to the
consternation of hier husband, sihe is
surprised by Francois who announces
that the countess is conferring with
Saint Reault, but will come in five
minutes. M. Raymond inquires about
the guests at the castle. Enter the
Countess and Saint Reault. Counters
announces the evening's program, a
lecture on Rams-ißavana and the
Sanskrit legends, a lecture by M. Bel
lac, the professor, the reading of a
play in verse. Jeanne shows the re
sult of her instruction, quoting much
with little appropriateness, but with
good effect. Exit Saint Reault to
send a telegram. Enter Duchess,
who finds Jeanne pretty, but not gay
enough. Exit M. and Mme. Ray
mond. Countess confides her plans
to have Lucy marry her son, who re
turns that afternoon from the Orient,
where he ;has been doing research in
archeology. The Duchess claims
that Lucy and Bellac are in love and
that sihe wants Roger to marry
Suzanne. It was for that reason that
she had Roger tutor Suzanne before
h'ia trip to the Orient. The Countess
objects because sihe has no family
and no money. Enter Lucy to an
nounce the arrival of Roger. She is
in evening dress and according to the
duchess it is 'because of M. Bellac.
Enter Roger. Exit Lucy. Duchess
manoevers the conversation so that
the Countess will make Roger think
that Suzanne is in love with M. Bel
lac. Enter Suzanne returning alone
from M. Bellac's lecture. She re-
ites her experience losing her pock
et'book and the many attentions she
[receives. She accepts a ticket from a
respectable old man. The Counteee
finds this dreadful, especially since
she is only eighteen and does not
know how to conduct .herself* Exit
Countess. Suzanne accuses Roger of
writing oftener to Lucy than to her.
She asks the contents of the letter
Lucy received that morning. Roger
replies that it was only that lie
would arrive Thursday. Suzanne
goes out for her notebooks. Enter
the guests who have been attending
M. ReHac's course and M. Bellac,
many compliments and the an
nouncement that he has talked on
"Love," which according to the aside
of the Duchess is his favorite literary
topic. Exit guests to dress for din
ner. Enter Suzanne with notebooks,
hears Francois telil Lucy that he
could not find tlhe letter. Suzanne
finds it.' "I wi arrive Thursday.
THE GUILFORDIAJi
Meet me in the conservatory at ten.
Have a headache." Duohess sends
Suzanne for a coat. She and Roger
read the letter and decide it is from
Beilac to Suzanne. Suzanne thinks
it from Roger to Lucy.
Act ii—Scene 1. End of lecture

dies he be selected his successor in

write his report. M. Beilac continues
ihis discussion of love. Tea announc
ed in the conservatory to the con
sternation of Suzanne, Lucy and Bel
lac. All go to another room to hear
the play. Jeanne escapes because of
a headache. Enter Lucy, wiho has
left the play because of a headache;
Suzanne for the same reason.
Scene 2.—Duchess and Countess
spying on Suzanne's account. Enter
Jieanne and Paul, who fixes the door
so that it will squeak and give warn
ing. Paul's tirade against the would
be literary pursuits of tihe castle.
Duchess delighted. Enter Beilac
and Lucy. Beilac gives Lucy the
manuscript of his book. Lucy ob
jects to this sort of rendezvous and
M. Beilac says lie will make repara
tion. Exit Countess. Enter Roger
and Suzanne. They discover their
mistake about the letter. The Duch
ess comes upon tihe scene in time to
:make them understand their love for
each other. Guests arrive for tea.
Countess announces the death of
Revel. The Duchess plays fairy god
mother and announces the marriage
of M. Beilac and Lucy, quoting M.
Beilac that he will make reparation;
/then the mariage of Roger and
Suzanne, wthom sihe adopts and
makes her sole heir. Last she an
nounces the promotion of M. Ray
mond.
All is well that ends well.
