Tiie dark foreboding ot last Sunday’s

which it later brought to light when
tho news began to spread of the loot

in tlio rola.xatiou cliurueteristic of a
coilego week-end, various poBsassions
had lnH-n left lying more or li‘.>r
proaiiiientiy here and there, wiUch tact
made the intrnder's tasic tiie easier.
Not only wore tho readily accessible

which might he calculated a jriufTlcicnt
ipp-iO cf I'oli to find
ovcryono aaleep. Oae girl, neverthe
less, proved an oxcoption, and to ht*r is
due the d(;s(;riiUion nt the roiilwr as
medium-sized individual of no cihar*
ucteristle distinctions, clad in mas-
ealino attire, who walked, apparently
unluirriod. across the Ijacicyard and
then !)eyond her vision. N'o alarm
was given, siui'c slio roaliKed wltti his
disa.i)i)earanc-e ."the dlsiippeairance of
the source of the trouble, and
tliei'e was no necessity nor good
of alarming the liouse at tluU
hour. Speculation runs vii'e as lo
whether the l)nrgiar was really a
aian or a woman in men's clothes,
since the varied nature of tho stolen
articles would indicate more of nn
appeal to feminine choice. Several
dresses (all coniparntlvely new), a
sweater, n swltcase, fimv pairs of shoes,
silk nnderwear, several tiuirs of silk
hose, and two linger rings are nnm-
b;‘i-t;d among the stolon ariiclvs. whil-^
such fpininine toilet pvoi) iralions ,ih
powder, rouge, and liDStit'k are inclnd-

l)nt it goes without saying lhal widely
differing r-olations have heoii oil'es’ed.

has been avousod. not in Myatt House

;\lDnday evening. March 12, at eight-
thirty in the chapel, Mlsa CoUlina de-
Wolf Lewis gave a vocal recital, the
fhird of tlie faculty serlea. Even be
fore Miss Lewis arrived at Meredith,
her fame iis a rocitiiliat had reached
Ralelgli. A great number of her friends,
:\Jcredith and otherwise out in town,
came esigerly to hear her sing. They
were move than repaid for coming.
Kach number was thoroughly enjoyed.
Tho tones were strong and clear r.nd
tho pronunciation dl.stinct. These
qualities, added to a very sweet aucl
cultivated voice, with the singer’s art
oC entering thoroughly Into the song,
made the whole recital very success
ful.
Miss Lewis looked very charming as
she graciously received tlio hearty ap
plause after each nutnber of the fol
lowing program:

Miss Muff, of the collcge music fac
ulty, save, in a most interesting inan-
nci' a brief resume of her own ex-
pcrienfcs as a teacher, sent ont by the
Pi'Gsbyterlan 13ducationa] Board to the
station in Carlo, Egypt. Although she
spoke only twenty minutes. Miss Hull
made very vivid a sido of Egyptian life
which is not usually known. She ar
rived in Cairo after a flvc-months voy
age and was ready to begin work iin-
niudiately.
Throughont the talk she empbafiixed
ropeuledly the fact that the life of a
missionary in ISgypt is not one of hard
ship, as Is often supposed, but on tho
contrary, one of comparntive comfort.
Though one must sleep nnder a nios-
riuico net aUvnya, there are electric
lights, hot and cold water in plenty,
and a superabundance of servants—to
.3ay nothing of oarthqnake and such
things only rarely seen in this country.
“The political nnstabillty of Kurope
i.« due lo physical conditions; the
nations pass from fetir Into niad'iess
because of the drawing of boundary
lines which fall to separate t!io nation
alities.” said Mr. R. i^ I.,aue, European

bers of llie college coininiiuity on t!io
afternoon of Tuesday, March G,
Throughout tho lecture the speaker
endeavored to show the iu?cd of boun
dary Jinc’s .sii rlrawn that the mitlonal
con.sciousness of each iieoplo might
be expressed.
In his work Mr. Lane was carried
iirst to Hungary. That the Hunga
rians a)'o a remarkably gifted people,
h-' juoved by reading some exti'aor-
dinary vi-rsCo, e.Nprt'f'sive ni national
feeling, written by children of gram
ma i grade age. A cun-yrij' maue i»in
cushion .sent by tho children of that
country to the children of Amerlcii
was also shown. The purpose of the
.rnnior Hed Cross, that of promoting
I'rirndshi]) between children of all na
tionalities, Mr. Lane said, seemed to
l)a on tiie road to fuimUuent when
friejidship with Amcrica was men
tioned: bnt when the que.stion of
friendship with the Roumanians,
i-"erbs (ir Plavs canuj up there was a
cry of “Never, in^ver. never." ESiii-.'.
••iiilly typical of all the ICuropeau coun
tries is the Hungarian attilnde toward
?iTr. V.Mlson, whose word was regarded
as the pillar of fire, by which they
were to ho led out of darkness.
In deliniug nationality, Mr. Lane
gave Zimmerniau's definition, which
denies lhal nationality is the tie of
blood, the strong bourl of race, tlic
common possession of a language or
the passionate attachment to scenes
and affirms it to be an educational
rouceplion. Because certain govern
ments of Europe have interfered with
traditional instincts this grave politi
cal problem has been created. In
speaking of nationality, Rfr. Lane em
phasized the ditficulty of isolating any
one factor in international relations,
for aggrieved nationality ))roves not
only the most upsoltiug, but also the
most aggressive factor. Sinco IfllS
there has been no race domination
save in the case of Ireland, bnt oppros-
Sion, if it existed, could not be renie-
diPd by the drawing of lines so great
