LIVELY SCENES AT TIE WINDOWS.
So they went across the river soon
aitor midnight, and very soon the pref
ty girls in tho academy were awakened
from their slumbors by tho meodious
sounds which came from the throats Of
tho ten young collcgians from Medford,
ranged in limo on the broad and snow
covered campus OF the academy. 1t was
evident that some OF the girls had ex-
pected the young men, for in less than
! five minutes seventeen OF the pretty
Z young women had gathered In the room
Of Miss Nostcott, OF Chicago, in tho
front OF tho building, on the ground
floor, and crowded the windows to see
and applaud the songs OF tho glce club.
Now, 1t is not known just what the et-

pretty soon it was evident that the

This dancing and kicking continued ior
perhaps fifteen or twenty minutes, when

stampede for the respective rooms OF
tho young women.

But as they opened the door to lee

Bradford Academy is one OF tho most
fashionable Young women's boarding
schools in the east. Bradford ia Il sleepy
little village, and tho exclusivcness OF
the school is provCrbial. In years past
the faculty has been greatly troubled
by tho visits, generally BY night, OF the
young men from Haverhll. and mover
does q college club go to that city that
