not really appear in Scranton's social
calendar, the words might very appro-
priately be applied to almost any day
next week. Without explanation this

enigma, but when 1t is remembered
that Cornell's commencement exercises
are held next week, and will be at
tended by many we'll known people, in.
GLIDING the younger set, and that spe.
cial car will convey party of business
men and their wives to inspect the
electric interests of the city between
two hills-when all these things are
considered. the term Ithaca Day" does
not seem inappropriate from now until
next Friday.
There was no apparent tendency OF
the social element to get in full swing
during the week, To DO sure there was
an occasional luncheon, very small and
with no formality, few laurel excur-
sions and the like, but the return OF
the college men will be necessary to
balance things and give the season its
correct stride. A few games Of tennis
each day were enjoyed with some OF
the young young-men, but. as one OF
the young ladies expressed it: What
can we girls do2 We ride little, We
walk little, we talk-a little; but 1t
is all growing monotouous. We're just
dying for more startling amusement.
A galaxy of well known business
men, accompanied by their wives, will
leave here in special car Monday
morning over the Delaware. Lacks-
wanna and Western for Ithaca, where
two days will be spent in plsasurable
diversions and an inspection OF 1thacaS
electrical interests. Some Of the gen
tlemen are financially interested in the
Cayuga Lake Electric Railway com.
pany, Ithaca Street Railroad company
and the Brush-Swan Electric Light
company.
1t is proposed to ride over the vari-
Gus street roads for inspection pur-
poses and to scrutinizs the water power
station. Monday evening the party
will embark for q sail down the lake to
Shelldrake, where the night will be
spent They will return Tuesday sf-
ternoon.
