SOCIAL, GOSSIP,

A very pleasant dancing party was
held in the Masonic Hall last Friday
evening. About fifty couples were
present and all had a jolly good time.
The music was excellent and was furn-
ished by Strong's orchestra.
President McGregor gave the mem
bers of the senior class at the Normal a
very pleasant party at his residence.
last Monday evening.
A very delicious little warfare seems
to be just now existing between some of
our brave young men and some of our
fair young ladies'; growing out of that
Lancaster excursion, we suppose. OF
COURSE it is not a very serious or danger
Gus warfare, but one of those little
quips or quirps of society which make
far ones resolute and the brave ones
way down in their hearts, thirst for
revenge We are totally ignorant of
who is to be blamed in the matter and
well and truly realize that if we have
any regard for our personal security,
we had better remain in this blissful
ignorance. When the brave BOYS tell
us the sad story of their wrongs, griefs
and sufferings, we sympathize with them
and endeavor to cheer them up with
assurance that they have good case.
When we hear the eloquent appeal of
the ladies in the support of their side,
our sympathy of course goes out to
them; for in matter of this kind it
would be unjust to imagine for a second
that their cause is not a just one.
