An effort is being made Ky the stu
dents of Hamline university to organ
re carnival club, and from present
ndica tons it will be successful
| r. H Benham, one of the students,
| first suggested the plan, which at
zee met the approval of the other
! students, and the matter has since been
ggitated until a degree Of enthusiasm
mas been attained which bespeaks sue
eess. If any organization of this kind
S effected it will be the Pioneer Stu
AentS' Carnival club
A meeting will be held during the
week, at which the club will be or
ganiZed, officers elected, uniforms Sc
Iected and all other matters transacted
which must necessarily be disposed
Of in order to get the club ready for
the festivities, to begin Jan. 21-
81 harmony with the spirit of a leap
year carnival the Minnehana Skating
club was organized a short time ago
by sixteen young ladies. Each of these
girls is the prettieSts, and the sixteen
have since discovered four more girls
with the same rare but necessary quail
if1cation. But although a female skat-
tie about skating. it must have as
sociate members who can buckle straps
and prevent the active members from
breaking their necks. Thus twenty
fortunate young men have been eau
tipusly accepted from among regi-
n{ent of applicants. The Minnehaha
club is limited, at present, to the mem
berShip that characterized that roman
tic band who distressed Ali Baba, and
1t has by far the largest feminine mem
.mership of any carnival club yet or
HganiZed. The Minnehaha uniform is
~White and scarlet. The scarlet toques
have a white tassel and an antipathy
for the curling irons sweetest results
The short red jacket has a white edg-
ing and four big white buttons, and
the skating skirt has a broad white
band. Around each members waist
out of the way of her associates a
jaunty white sash. The entire cos
tune is brilliant and becoming. This
club has held some regular meetings
and many special ones, and it has
adorned most of the local Kinks, where
picturesque professions have resulted
from the club rule that no active mem
Der shall try to skate alone. The Min
nehahas intend to visit Minneapolis
and other outlying regions whenever
their friends become imbued with the
hoSpitable sentiment of the carnival
times.
The, officers of the club are: Miss
Emma Hendrum, president; Miss Jen-
ME Leo. vice president; Miss Minnie
Potts, treasurer; Miss Margaret Leo
secretary; Miss Viva Mindrum, lieu
tenant The captain is j. V, Parker
He's man, and was permitted to be
captain because he knows all about
marching and can speak loud enough
to be heard above the casual but
Simultaneous remarks Of the other
members.

will hold a meeting Tuesday night to
