have invited two hundred young women

and Banjo Clubs at the residence of Mrs.

nue., on the afternoon of next Wednesday
This reception Is given with the double
intention Of welcoming the Yale clubs
and of introducing them to the young
women of the city, so that they viii have
no difficulty in dancing after the concert
which is given Wednesday evening. But
at thoughts of this second purpose the
girls are in tears.
Word has been received hat the clubs
must leave Jersey City at twelve o'clock
| Wednesday night. What time does that
leave for the dance? The concert will

the floor must be cleared. the musicians
must tune 10, the whereabouts Of ladies
must be discovered and the hundreds of
little things pertaining to the first part
of a dance must be arranged. by the
time these ARRANGEMENTS have been COM
pleted what time will 1t be?" sigh the
girls; nearly eleven, and the boys go
home at twelve" 1t seems that the girls
will have to fall back on their unsub-
stantial props, Jersey City men. And
the question is: will the Jersey City men
care to be SO treated after the Yale men
have gone? Taken altogether the dance
seems to be a failure and for that reason
still more pleasure is anticipated from the
afternoon reception. The Yale clubs will
surely be at that. They nave accepted to
a man. And if there is a girl who has
sent a regret she is looked upon as a
social wonder.
Preparations for the concert as well as
the reception are going on briskly. The
patronesses:-Mrs. Charles C. Stimets,

will be followed by a dance. vii it be
found that there are Rutgers women"
