The Chautauqua circle met as an
nounced with Mrs. Judge Blackwell
Monday evening. The programme was
classical one in every particular. the
subject being none other than virgins
Eneid. MIR. RoSsman told in a half.
serio half-conic manner the story OF
Dido and Arneas. which was decidedly
entertaining. Mrs. Higgins paper, de-
scriptlye of the statue of LAGOON. was O
cleverly drawn sketch of that not too
pleasant episode. Mrs. Lewis read
1.-The Sirens and Scylla and Charybdis,'"
and the programme closed with an ami
mated discussion of the poem as a
whole. Mrs. Higgins will entertain the
circle next Monday evening.
Last evening the Citizens union held
largely attended and enthusiastic
| meeting in the town hall. The subject
up TOR discussion was ''Hamline's Work
| for 1890" OF course there were many
divergent opinions, but it was pretty
generally agreed that there was much to
be done in the line of Improvement.

COLLEGE NOTES.
| The present freshman class does moth
Ing by halves. Indeed, one of its mot
! toes is DO everything WELL" and last
evening it proved beyond shadow OF a
| doubt its ability to do this at least in one
instance. The occasion was the recep-
ton to the members of the junior class,
and it is not too much to say that IN
every particular it was one of the most
| elegant ever given in the university.
| Contrary to the usual custom the chapel
| was not used. Instead. the large re-
ception room on the second floor and
the rooms adjoining devoted to the uses
| of DR.. Bridgman. together with the wide
| corridor connecting them, were brought
| into requisition, aud so changed by the
ingenuity of the decoration committee
as to leave no trace Of their ordinary
appearance. The draperies were all the
colorS of the clasSes-cream and old
rUse-and the effect of the artistic hang
ings, completely Disgusting the
stiff outlines of the walls, taken
| with the rose-tinted lights. was
charming in the extreme. The guests,
numbering about sixty, were received
in the corridor by the reception COM
mittee. composed of the officers OF the
| class-Misses jerks. Montgomery, Whit
ney; Messrs. Maxwell, Norton, and
| Showers. IL was noticeable that the
dresses of the ladies of this committee
harmonized perfectly with the general
| fpI, rF I'm N N
| and old rose; indeed this idea was car
ried through all the arrangements, even
| to the decoration of the tables in the
Refreshments room, and to the refresh
| ments as well. These were served at
| 10 o'clock, and were more than usually
| elegant. AS IA souvenir of the occasion
| each guest was presented with tiny,
! oval-Shaped ivory menu card, deli
catply outlined in gold letters, and tied
with rose-colored ribbons. They were
as dainty and pretty as one could wish,
and were work of several ladies' of the
class-the letters, however, being de-
signed by one of the gentlemen. The
reception i'll every detail was marked
| by perfect taste, and ain elegance I'M
usual in college affairs of this sort

do feel little bit proud of their initial
effort. Among the guests were the fol-
lowing: The Misses Frost, Putnam,
Eames, Johnson, Door, Grant, Dunn,
! Evans, Snow, Foss, Santee, Marshall.
Norton. Dart. Gould, Webb, Barkalow,
| Campbell, Messrs. Ii. Ii. FOrton, Camp
bell, Dobner. Bean, Bonney, Brink,
| Buck, Dewart. johnson, Luckey,
Empy, Bowdish, Shawks, Edwards.
The Browning public of Wednesday
| evening was quite all it had promised to
be, and the friends of that society are
| more than ever convinced that it is ali
organization worthy its name and of
which Hamline university may well be
| proud. While each number of the
carefully prepared programme was per-
| haps as satisfactory as 1t we'll could be-,
| vet there were one or two deserving of
| special mention. Chief among them
was the Grafton given by Miss Stow.
This was Miss Slows first appearance
| in this line of work, and her success
| well chosen and she treated it in way
which betrayed unusual ability. Alto
| gether it was the best number on the
| programme. Miss Case's essay upon
"Quakerism in the Nineteenth Cen
| tury'' was very we'll written indeed,
| but read in rather too low tone to
receive the full appreciation it merited.
| The discussion relative TO the French
| republic, between Miss Dunlap and
| Miss Davis, was one OF the best things
| OF the evening, and though it was soph-
| onlore against senior, the result was
more of all even balance than one might
| have supposed. Miss Dunlap excelled.
! perhaps, in clearntss of thought and
| brilliancy of expression, but Miss Davis
brought up the other side with solid
weight of argument OF the musical
| numbers. Miss FerguSon's sin-iig was
lGctionS rom List and Strauss, by
| Miss Seegar, were admirably rendered.
| Taken as a whole the programme was
we'll calculated to show the kind OF
work done by the BrOwningS and the
| progress they are making. That these
are of no mean order the pronounced
success of Wednesday evening proves
beyond doubt.
The home Orat0rical contest will
| after several postponement5. actually
