1t was the pleasure of your correspond

inlermisson Ol Il lew minutes the Secrc-
tary announced the regular programme,
which is follows FalIacious b. the Captive,

Upon the announcement Of adjournment
| by the President, chatting was renewed
with increased vigor. Those who had Sc
crets retired to the "Lovers Retreat" where
! they could disclose them without the slight
est fear of being m0lested. Others being
more bold in protesting their attachment
for some classic" engaged in that fascinat-
ing play, "Possum Pie" the forieits always
q kiss being paid as rapidly as won. After
twenty-four hours, more or less, had been
consumed in this way the ladies gave the
order for coats and sleighs," which was in
stantly obeyed. Some in their hurry put
the former on upside down, while others
went off without any hat, but some found
it out soon after they had departed, for a
cold and piercing north wind was blowing
at pretty brisk rate and it made them
think that it didn't pay to be in such a
hurry. Your correspondent was among the
fortunate ones who had their "wits" about
them at this critical period and having safely
landed his companion at her paternal man
sion, he departed for his own and was soon
folded in the arms of Morpheus.
