| There Is always a lull after q
storm, and this has been well exem.
plified during the past week, which,
IN a social sense, was dull. The
coming week, beginning with to-
night, however. will make up for 1t,
as much gayety is on the tapis. The
week has been a rather dull one,
yet what events have occurred
have been of most pleasing nature.
The past six days, ending with this
evening is appended.
OPEN HOUSE.
The open house at the Woman's
college last Saturday evening, was
one of the most pleasant events the
students and friends Of Willemette
have been permitted to witness in
the history of that institution. The
guests began to arrive at 8 O'Clock,
and were ushered into the front
parlors, where they were received
by the dean, Miss Hansee, Mrs.
Hansee, Mrs. Grubb and Mrs. Fair
child, after which the other ladies
of the college received, introduced
and entertained the guests in a
| polite and urbane manner, until
$3.50, when II fine literary programme
was begun, consisting of music,
dialogues and recitations, which
were enjoyed by all, especially the
| dialogues, which were of an ANUS
ing nature and were appreciated by
all, from the youths in their early
teens to Willamette's father in his
85th year.
Extensive decorations had been
tastefully arranged and the artistic
work of skillful hands had left moth
ing to be desired in the way of
mottos, festoons, wreaths and
flowers. Miss Hansee and the
ladies of the college deserve the
gratitude of all for such a pleasant
occasion and the hospitable manner
in which they entertained their
guests. The guests departed at a
late hour, after having spent a most
delightful evening. and one that
will be long remembered as the
most enjoyable of the kind yet given
In the history of the college.

appear at the opera house on Satur-

house, as each and every one of the
company are splendid performers.
The San Diego Sun says that the
First M. f. auditorium was filled |
last night by music lovers to hear
the rich melodies of the famous col
ored concert company. The hit of
the evening was made by the male |
quartette In a burlesque of the San |
Diego brass band. Their imitation
of Barnum's steam calliope was per-
feet, and brought an encore, to
which they responded In turn with
a Chinese song, and "Mary's Lamb"

failed. The programme included:
"Hilo Hail." Shawnee Ribber,"
"There,s Jubilee" Steal Away to
Jesus" "Dese Bones Shall Rise
