the New York French ball, but it is on q
much lower plane as regards refinement.
Master Shepard is freshman, having
graduated from the nursery The City
Guards invited him TO their ball. He had
never been to anything Of the kind, and
when he got the tiokot he was In eostasies.
He decided to take his Addio' with
him. This young lady is Miss Addio Far
Icy Of 154 West Thirty nfth street, New
York. She is very we'll known in New
1 Haven for her disregard OF conventionali-

, that he took them to his room because
tho hotels refused them.
The college authorities say that Master
Shepard's statement may DO an accurate
, account Of things as he saw them, but
that the policemen reached the scene on
: account Of certain hilarious bowls which
: broke tho stiffness OF the night. The
friends Of the student however argue
q that II any cries were heard they were not
I tones Of hilarity, but Of grief and pain due
to lack Of medical attendance.

TO the police station. The police say that
I they were intoxicated but in no need Of
0 medical attention though Master Shepard
