And they DO answer most of them While the questionnaires have become all too fre- ouent.

Mr, Sylvester is the father of Mary Louise. '41, sociology major. Jane Molloy '35 is fulfilling admirably Mundelein's aim to equip its students for service to Church and state. Hav ing spent a year at the Royal university in Milan, Italy, and received her Master's degree from the Catholic University in 1939, she is now one of three directors of the Confraternity of Christian Doc trine. Established in ninety-seven dioceses in the United States, the Confraternity gives religious instruction to elementary public school children by means of vacation schools and weekly classes throughout the year, and to secular high school stu dents and adults by means of religious discussion clubs. Works from Washington Miss Molloy attended the Alumnae Homecoming after helping to manage the Confraternity Conference in Cincinnati last month. Her headquarters are in Washington, D. C. Chestera Xiewinska '39, cellist, re turned from a concert engagement in St. Louis just long enough to be maid of honor for Mary Molloy '39, before dashing off to another engagement in Florida. The former Miss Molloy was married to Patrick Dougherty on Nov. 18. Two more weddings were celebrated Nov. 18 that of Betty Dimmick ex '41, to Gerald Griffcn Morse, and of Estelle Winglcr '38 to Theodore McKalim. Alice Alexander was married on Nov. 25 to Thomas James Gordon, and Eileen Kane ex '39 will become the bride of Robert Kelly on Dec. 2. Ellen Birnbaum '38 told Alumnae Homecomers about her work as a com mercial artist with the Meyercord Decal- comania company, where she designs everything from tiny hat labels to enor mous posters. Lectures at Press Meet Ann Lally '35, artist and editor of the Skyscraper during her college days, is now head of the art department at Carl Schurz high school, and spent Nov. 10 and 11 lecturing on Ways To Run a Dynamic Yearbook, before delegates to the Chicago meeting of the National Scholastic Press association, at the Ste vens Hotel.

Graceful statues in wood and ceramics, religious plaques, rosaries, medals and Exhibit Etchings The eighth-floor gallery will display- its first one-man show next week when 1 original etchings, dry points, and and aquatints go on exhibit. They are the work of Margaret Marie Miller, Ohio Wesleyan university instructor. The collection includes some beautiful scenic studies, among which one of the most striking is entitled Nightfall. Individuals planning to go ultra-indi vidualistic during the 1939 Christmas shopping season are invited to Room 701. in the music department, to record their own interpretations of the Christmas greeting on the Presto Voice Recording machine. Used throughout the year by drama, voice, and foreign language classes, the Recording machine, with expert o gt;crator, is available by special appointment for student voice recordings to be used as gifts. National and international celebrities who have pioneered with the seventh- floor recorder include Sir Cedric Hard- wicke, English actor who starred in Shadow and Substance and Pec of Old Drury, and Henri Gheon, French poet and dramatist. Out of the grab bag and into the con sciousness come this week's suggestions, planning a 'Round Town preview of Christmas. First on the list is the revival of Sut ton Vane's other-world OUTWARD Bound, which opened last Monday at the Grand. Revivals of former long-runners are al ways risky, perhaps because playgoing audiences want other fare today, per haps because the company is incompatible to the vehicle. Outward Bound, how ever, defeats the traditional jinx because of its imaginative and fanciful nature. Plot Is Unusual Somewhat reminiscent of Berkeley Square and Ox Borrowed Time be cause of its deep metaphysical streak, tiie play groups together a varied assem blage of men and women in a boat and, as the journey progresses, they realize that they are traveling into eternity and toward a final judgment. When their destination is known the characters reveal themselves, free of all ihe superstructure necessitated by life in a human world. Outward Bound is one of the Theater Guild subscription series and will be lim ited to a three-week engagement. Get your tickets early Frederick Stock Conducts Another prize package makes its ap pearance the Pop concert tomorrow night at Orchestra Hall, conducted by Frederick Slock. Txss often than in past seasons does the veteran maestro stand behind the music rack, baton poised for the downbeat. And at this concert he will direct the Emperor waltzes, favor ites of all good Strauss fans, in addition to Berlioz, Le Carneval Remain. Franck's D Minor Symphony, and the graceful Suite for Orchestra by Doh- nanyi. Also for tomorrow night is scheduled Flagstad's performance of Die Valkyrie Tn stature and voice Madame Flagstad, climaxing a week of Wagnerian pres entations, measures to the heroic pro portions of the Teutonic Brunhilde of legend. Assist Flagstad Sharnova, Bampton. Maison. Huehn, and Beattie will be heard in supporting roles, some repeating from the epic Die Valkyrie of the 1938 season, memorable because of the intelligent subordination they gave to the prima donna. As we dip deep toward the bottom, suddenly another feature jumps out at us : a double feature, giving Chicagoans the opportunity to hear only a few days apart two of the greatest violinists, Tascha ITeifetz and Fritz Kreisler. Hei- t'etz will play at the Auditorium on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 3, and Kreisler appears at the Highland Park audi torium on Dec. 12. Unwrapping a gay little package lied with the familiar mulberry and mus tard we come upon Spring Dance, to be pesented at Loyola Community theatre, Dec. 4 and 5. Grainger Plays A huge box at the very bottom, when stripped of its corrugated pa gt;er and ex celsior, proves to be Percy Grainger and a grand piano. Mr. Grainger, the versa tile composer-arranger, presents a varied program in conjunction with the Chicago Symphony on Dec. 12 at Orchestra Hall. Because of his peculiar, forceful tech nique and gaunt, Mark-Twain appear ance, the concert will be dramatic as well as musical. If the temperamental Aus tralian is in a benevolent mood the pro gram is likely to conclude, with the well- worn but always likeable Grainger ar rangement of Country Gardens, in which wrists and elbows vie with fingers to produce the weighty percussion effects used in the finale. The grab bag is empty for the mo ment, but these little offerings should occupy you until next issue's Christmas stocking.
