 Prom week has arrived and with it one of the prettiest lost of prom girls that the great event of the college year has attracted in some time. The New Haven house, the Hotel Majestic and all the large boarding houses in the vii cinity of the campus are filled to over flowing with the visiting mothers, sis ters, aunts, cousins, sweethearts and mammas. and Battell chapel yesterday was packed with them. The sermon was highly interesting, but somehow the eyes of the student audience would turn towards the galleries instead of being kept upon the reverend speaker Sermons in the chapel are weekly af- fairs, but the prom girl comes but once a year, and small wonder, then, if for once the boys neglected the sermon.
 During the day yesterday the campus was overrun by the visitors, each party having for guides the sons, brothers and others.
 The prom festivities really began Saturday afternoon with the tea given at the Hutchinson apartment house at 22 College street from 4 until o'clock The tea was given by John I. Downey Marcus Goodbody, Richard M. Lester Thomas G. Otis, jr., G. Barrett Rich, i,. hn IT nd Seth s. Spencer of the Shelf: senior class, and Guy Heaton, M. Felton Hotchkiss and James J. Hickey of the law school senior class. The tea was pleasant event and the parlors of the Hutchinson were beautifully decorated in honor of the occasion. dance fol- lowed the tea.
 The guests present were mostly from this city, as out of town prom guests had not yet arrived in large numbers Among those present were Joseph and Miss Bessie Whittlesey, Dr. J. P. and Miss Margaret Foster and Miss Ruth Beardsley. Some of the non-residents were Miss Ogden, Miss Hardness and MT. and Miss Downey of New York, the Misses Goodbody and Miss May Carter of New Jersey, Miss Warren and Miss Rich of Buffalo Miss Maud M. Barclay of Newburg, N. Y., Mrs. Booth and Miss Bartlett of Bridgeport, Miss Clark of Hartford and Miss Barden of Meri- den.
 The principal event of Saturday was the Cloister german held in the even ing at the Cloister house on Grove street. Large numbers of out of town guests had arrived during the after noon and helped to swell the attend ance at the german. The Cloister was brilliantly lighted and handsomely dec orated for the affair. The rooms were crowded all the evening and the ger man was pronounced the most success full and delightful of any ever given by the society.
 The patronesses were Mrs. Theodore w. Letton of Chicago, Mrs. Samuel M Mills of West Point, Mrs. c. w. Bar mum of Lime Rock Mrs. c. M. Chester of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. F. s. Brewer of Springfield, Mass.
 Several other private dances were given Saturday evening by various members of the university in honor of their visiting friends. An informal dance was given at Lenox hall by mem- bers of the junior class and proved felicitous occasion. About thirty cou- ples were present and lunch was served.
