Poverty suppers are the latest
forms of charitable entertainments
in Northern cities. The members of
some particular church agree each
to give a supper at their houses once
a week, the cost not exceeding 81 for
twelve guests, the members of the
society, however, pay twenty live cents
each for their entertainment, and in
this way good round sum may be
made. To provide even the plainest
menu taxes the ingenuity of the
hostess to its limit, for to give a
good meal for 81 requires much
planning and studying up of prices.
Although the repast may be a mod
est one, if it is well planned and ex-
ecuted, no one need get up hungry.
After the homely repast, music and
recitations are given, or the enter
tainment may end with lecture.
Thus the poverty supper" may be-
come the means of social enjoyment.

first anniversary banquet of the 10

The banquet was served by
Charley Finnell, the genial host OF

somely decorated with cut flowers
and evergreens and the fraternity
colors, blue and gold, we're every

arranged in the form of a cross, the
badge of the fraternity and, when
the guests were ushered into the
dining room, presented bewildering
array in the way of elaborate deco
rations.

the satisfaction of all concerned and
is as follows:

The local chapter was installed
last September at the opening of
school and although yet so young oc-
cupies a position second to none in

its members some of the brightest
young men in school and is rapidly
extending its influence for all that
is good in fraternity. Its course of
avoidance of college politics is meet
ing the hearty commentator of the
student body and the chapter is still
well secure of her career ofprosperity

heartfelt wish, MAY you have many
