THE SALEMITE
Peige Five.
MRS. WILUAM NEAL
tells of CHINA’S
GREAT
(Continued From PaRe One)
lish a Chinese Nationalist Govern
ment. Subsequently, she became
secretary to Dr. Sun-Tat-Sen and
later was married to him. At her
husband’s death in 1925 Rosamond
continued his work and has been
named “China’s Joan of Arc.”
The sons of the Soong family
were educated at Harvard Univer
sity and became leaders of the new
Chinese government but were sur
passed in importance, by their sia-
Mari-Ling entered "Wellesly Col
lege at the age of fourteen. She
has, Mrs. Neal said, one of Asia’s
most brillant minds; and because of
her fearlessness and executive abil
ity, she has been called: “the great
est’ man in Asia.” When she re
turned to China, she showed a great
interest in Chinese women and their
problems which new-found freedom
had brought. She became general
secretary of the Y. W. 0. A. in
Shanghai. Some time later she be
came the wife of General Chiang
Kail-Shek who had undertaken the
work begun by Dr. Sun-Tat-Sen. At
the time of their marriage the Gen
eral was pagan but soon afterwards
at the death bed of Madam Chiang
Kai-Shek’s mother, he received
Christian baptism.
Under the leadership of these two
young people the Chinese Govern
ment has passed many constructive
measures. Not only do their friends
realize their strength but also their
enemies fear them. Por this reason
thev are constantly in danger of
death. Yet, when admonished for
the risks which she takes, Madame
Chiang Kai-Shek said, “I am not
afraid; T believe God has given me
a work to do for China, and though
my husband and I are exposed to
danger, we believe we will be
spared for that work. And after
that, what does it matter!”

be done,” he said.

AT IPANID0/H
THE OPAL DREAM CAVE
In an opal dream cave I found a fairy:
Her wings were frailer than flower petals,
Frailer far than snow flakes
She was not frightened, but poised on my finger,
Then delicately walked into my hand
I shut the two palms of my hands together
And held her prisoner
I carried her out of the opal cave,
Then opened my hands
First she became thistledown.
Then a mote in a sun beam,
Then — nothing at all
Empty now is my opal dream cave.
—Katherine Mansfield.
GROWN-UP TALK
Half-past-six and I were talking
In a very grown-up way;
We had got so tired with running
That we did not want to play.
(‘How do babies come, I wonder,”
He said, looking at the sky,
“Does God mix the things together
An’ just make it like a pie?”
I was really not quite certain,
But it sounded very nice;
It was all that we could think of,
Besides a book said “sugar and spice.”
Half-Past-Six said — He’s so clever —
Cleverer than me, I mean . . .
“I suppose God makes the black ones
When the sauce pan isn’t clean.”
—Katherine Mansfield.

styles and patterns to suit their
individual types, and these dresses
were of particular interest in the
exhibit. The advanced students who
modelled were; Louise Preas, Caro
line Pfohl, Betsy Reece, Helen Lan-
ning, Pauline Daniel, and Germaine
Gold. Twenty seven students in all
modelled
In the showing were a number of
outstanding dresses. In the first
group made by the beginning class
es, Gladys Blackwood’s serviceable
smock of new swagger broadcloth in
dark green was one of the high
spots. Next in order were the blouses
and worsted skirts. Outstanding
among these were Katherine King’s
mustard colored skirt and brown
tailored blouse, Oiive Biddle’s new
color combination of aqua blouse
and gray skirt, and Kathryn Cole’s
light green skirt with yellow blouse
and brown accessories.
Bill Fulton was featured in the
next group (silk dresses) in a white
flowered sports outfit which she
had made outside of class work. She
wore white hat and accessories. Mary
Baldwin wore powder-blue crepe
faille, featuring matching buttons
and shoulder fullness.. Patty Mc-
Neely wore British tan and white
dotted silk with three white bows
down one side and brown and white
accessories. Lou Preas attracted
quite a bit of attention- -with her
original red-cotton linen with white
zipper and belt.- Mary Gray Thomp
son wore a Spanish street dress
with a brilliant red sash, while
Katherine King looked very smart
in a dull green sUk and wide black
straw hat.
; Wool dresses foe nearly fall wwe
shown next Virginia Breakall wote
a green basket-weave wool with,
short sleeves and acorn buttons —
with this dress she wore an acorn
shaped hat of pale tan and brown.
Mary Thomas looked quite business
like in a gold wool dress with brown
wooden buttons down the front.
Among the coat and dress ensem
bles was Germaine Gold’s striking
cherry-red skirt and swagger coat
with natural fox fur. The suit was
made of diagonal wool.
A showing of informal and form
al evening dresses climaxed the aft
ernoon. The dresses featured full
skirts and puff sleeves and neck
styles. Louise White wore a brown-
and-yellow flowered frock with
eleven yards of pique material in
the skirt. Dark blue buttons were
down the back to the waist. Lou
Preas exhibited the new style “tis
sue paper taffeta” with criss cross
straps and an underskirt held out
by feather hoops. Pauline Daniel
wore a white dress made of “crys
tal sheer,” one of the new novelty
rayons. Germaine Gold again mod
eled in a combination laee and mar
quisette gown of shaded blue. The
lace blouse of this originally de
signed dress lent dignity to the full
skirt, shaded from clear sky-blue at
the hips to royal blue at the hems.
Another lovely evening dress was
ethereal white marquisette worn by
Betsy Reece. With blouse tucked
and shirred and fitted on the figure
the blue chiffon sash tied in front
gave the necessary note of color.
Marvel Campibell looked quite de
mure in a dainty dotted swiss in
formal evening dress, while Lou
Preas looked dashing in a flowered
print evening dress.
All of these, dresses were designed
by their owners to suit their indi
vidual types.
' “It’s going to be a real battle of
wits, I tell yon” said the sophomore
membep'of the debating team.
“How brave of you” said his
roommate, “to go unarmed.”
(Continued From Page One)
is “so excited she can’t stand it”
and she knows she “won’t sleep for
fear of missing something. ’ ’
Edith Rose is planning to enjoy
the trip over on the boat more than,
anything else, and she, too, has ro
mantic ideas about Venetian gon
doliers. In France Edith will go
to La Comedie Francaise; and in
Switzerland she wants to go skiing!
Edith is going to try out her
French, but she rather thinks she
will be glad to have Mr. Downs
along in case of an emergency.
Mary McColl is not going to try
out any foreign language except
cept to order something to eat . . .
“I’ll probably bring back every
menu and match folder I can find.”
She also says, “I can’t wait to go
climbing in the Alps . . . and
I’m going to see my uncle in Paris
. . . and I’m going to take pic
tures of everything with my new
camera . . . and oh yes, I want
to get a tweed suit in England—
and a ride in a gondola in Venice I”
Venice is going to have a traffic
,iam of gondolas, it seems.
Is Martha O’Keefe excited?
“Heavens, yes!” She can’t think
of anything else. She wants to go
to the Blue Grotto, and to Bond
street in London, and to Westmin
ster Abbey. She must see the
Crown Jewels in the Tower of Lon
don; and she simply has to get per
fume in Paris, sweaters in London,
and a Duke somewhere!
Dot Hutaff is just “going to do
it all. ’ ’ Even though she has al
ways lived on the ocean, she is
scared about the boat trip. She
wants to go to England and Switz
erland most of all. Her greatest
desire is to get even with Martha
by selling her American cigarettes
at a tremendous price.
Jo Gibson is “terribly excited,”
but she does not like being away
from home for so long—for two or
three reasons. Jo wants to see all
the places that she has heard about
in Dr. Anscombe’s history class.
She wants to see the Parliament
Houses, the Palace of Versailles,
Vienna, and the Blue Danube. In.
cidentally, she would like to see
the Duchess of Windsor. Jo is wor
ried because all the handsome dukes
are taken. Perhaps she had better
stick to her American Don Juans.
One of her purchases will be a sing
ing ibeer mug from Germany.
Jane Kirk says that she has al
ready been to jail with the other
criminals to have hei- passport pic
ture taken, and now she is ready
for anything. She wants to ski in
Switzerland, to ride on the Bay of
Naples, and to ride in an English
train. She just knows that she is
going to adore the boat trip. The
idea of real French pastry appealf
to her—and she is going to rely c
her French, too! She is going
buy perfume and lace, and a
brush set for her little brother
Let’s hope the girls get th
the customs .when they return— .
also let’s wish them “Bon Voy
age! ”
HIGHUGHTS IN MUSIC
(Continued From Page One)
heard.
“Gnora, Crediteme,” by Pergo-
lesi, sung by Mr. Bair, illustrated
the trend toward a folk idiom in
art expression during the years
1710-36. “Mein Madel,” a Ger
man folk song, also sung by Mr.
Bair, showed a definite relationship
of the folk song verse and refrain
pattern to recitative—ario and
ariosa forms.
James Bair then sang “Omkra
mai fu” by Handel, as an example
of classic recitative and aria com
bination of 1685-1759. “Honor and
Arms” by Handel, was an exam
ple of an aria written in the ariosa
or da capo form.
Schubert’s “Whither,” sung by
Miss Swain, illustrating the period
1797-1828 was an exposition of
forces that lie behind the folk
idiom.
Climaxing the program, Mr.
Ralph Hanes sang Von Lielitz’s
song cycle “Eliland. ” Song cycle
means an unstaged music drama,
and this particular song showed
strong references to the folk idiom
as well as employment of other ex
pression particulars discussed by
Mr. Bair.
