So convinced was Raymond of Stewards

Every girl in the college sallies forth dur
ing the early days of the term, card case in
hand, to call on the freshmen in her corri-
dor. If the freshman is out card is left; if
in, the acquaintance is formed; but in either
case the call must be returned within a week
After this calls and visits are more informal
and parties given. Each girl is expected to
give party in her room once in the year.
These are invariably held after 10 o'clock, at
which hour lights should be put out; but
with closed doors carefully shrouded in
shawls and waterproof cloaks, the night
watchman gets no hint of the dissipations
being indulged in within. When three girls
share a sitting room, with a bedroom apiece
opening out of it for most of these rooms
are in groups Of this kind, they combine in
| the giving of their entertainments, thus saw
! ing no small amount of trouble and expense.
Some lucky ones are assigned a sitting room
and bedroom of which they are the sole mis-.
tresses; and there is large parlor I'VE should
say drawing room which is handed over
each year to the senior class who appoint a
committee from their number to fit it up and
furnish it according to prevailing taste and
the latest crazes in decorative art.
Besides the individual parties, or spreads,
there are the legitimate class parties. fhs
seniors invite the juniors, the juniors th'
seuiors. Tne sophomores give the freshmen
party early in the year, and later on in
vite them to the ''trig" ceremonies, an &c
centric performance to signalize their JOY
at having finished their course in trigonom
etry, to which the freshmen are still looking
forward The character of the entertain
ment is burlesque. Mathematical signs ant
terms are personified and good natured ridi
cule showered on classmates objection
able college institutions and even the ''fac
ulty" itself There are occasional negr
minstrel performances, with peanuts, apples
maple sugar and lemonade for refreshments
also dancing in the college parlors, an
sometimes powder and costume balls, c

Colonel y V. Whitman, Of Brooklyn, returned
from his vacation feeling in perfect health. As a

Some sudden change checks the action of the
body, close the circulation and lays the founds-
ton of death. Stop the cold in its start and you

A WET JUNE DAY.

Scents, sounds as Of November fill the air;
OF myriad blossoms down wet pathways
strown,
OF ragged leaves off steaming branches blown
And dropped into dank hollows here and there.
Keen little gusts go whirling through the hush,
Driving the mists before them up the lane,
And loi the lovely world grows ours again.
The orchard fences. the one elder bush,
Prone with its white face In the thick drenched
grass;
The rows Of apple trees, gnarled, dripping,
sweet;
Tn. highway with its pools agleam like glass.
Then, as still speeds the mist on shining feet,
Meadows and wood, peaked rooi-beyond them
show

While my heart cheated through the empty wears.
