1t was nearly II o'clock when the
last OF the ten candidates had crossed
Tie lucNltiuLC DuEulHB SNUl5 WHICH
had been prepared at Il white heat es-
pecially for the occasion. and had
reached the basis called "Osiris" than
which in the opinion OF many OF the
visiting orientuls there is no pleasanter
spot on the face OF this green earth.
The ceremonies were attended with
even an unusual amount OF noise and
from the sounds OF laughter which came
from the upper apartments the sport
have been fast and furious. This was
confirmed when an occasional
glimpse was obtained OF the
unlucky mortals vino thought they
wanted 10 be ''in it." 4 more demoraI-
lied looking set of people is hard to
find anywhere. This is not surprising
either-a man isn't Supposed to be look
happy, or to say the least, unconcerned,
when he has passed through wha. has
been mildly called 'deviltry" by some
people and "iiendishncss" by others.
All sores and wounds were forgotten,
however, when after the ordeal was over,
the one hundred and fifty gentlemen
prcsout sat down to the elegant banquet
spread for the occasion i'll the dining
hall by Mrs. ZeiGeufeldcr.

with interest 10 their coming visit to
