All the above will receive the D.C.L. It is also proposed to confer the degree of Honorary Master of Arts on the entire body of Oxford road-sweepers, for their disinterested patriotism in accepting a wage on a par with that received by many tutors and demonstrators of the University. * * * * * ANNA PAVLOVA. Since I first saw her this year she has been a Sleeping Beauty (very wide awake) and a Chrysanthemum and many other lovely things. In _Autumn Leaves_, where her bloom is blown away by the fierce ardour of the Wind, and she is left to die forsaken, she recalled a little the moving sadness of her Dying Swan. It was a "choreographic poem" of her own making--to music of CHOPIN--and I think I have never seen anything more fascinating than the colour and movement of the _Autumn Leaves_ and the "splendour and speed" of the _Autumn Wind_. This was danced by Mr. STOWITTS, and it couldn't have been in better hands or feet. M. VOLININE is largely content to be a source of support and uplift to his partner, but in _The Walpurgis Night_ he gave us an astounding exhibition of poise and resilience. In _The Magic Flute_ (not MOZART'S but DRIGO'S), Mlle. BUTSOVA had a great triumph. She has all the arts and graces of her craft that can be taught, and to these she adds one of the few gifts that no training can confer--the natural joy of life that comes of just being young.
