The receptions given the university
students last Friday and Saturday even
tngs have furnished food for talk dur
ing his week and it is well, as society
has been taking in the sights OF Denver
and the few who remained at home did
not exert themselves by giving enter
tainments. However, the quiet spell is
about over and numerous parties are
already planned.
Mrs. Comes. nee Miss Dora Hawk, re,
ceJved a call Monday evening from A
number OF her pupils who showered con,
gratulations and best wishes upSn he,.
doubtless in a much happier frame o,
mind than If the change in her life ngc9.
STATED a change in their relation.
Rarely have The young people enjoyed
any social event as much as the rec5p-
ion given in honor OF the 60 new stu
dents who have come from abroad to at
lend the university. The Presbyterian
church was handsomely decorated in the
Christian Endeavor colors, purple and
gold. and the occasion was enlivened by
The presence OF 155 young ladies' anu
gentlemen. with a half dozen old people

committee composed of Prof. and Mrs.
Slosson, Miss Haysord, Miss Gates, Miss
WEIGH, Miss Flagg and Mr.. Erickson
and Mr.. Bartlett. is entitled to much
credit for contributing materially 10 the
social feature Of the evening by intro,
1ucing the strangers and making every
one feel al home.
Miss Lyle served the lemon fruit
punch and waters in a graceful manner,
assisted by four little girls. Francia
Hay'ord, Georgia Coutan;. Ida Lang,
h..dt and Blanche Hayford. The lovely
nble was decorated in purple and gold,
and with autumn leaves. It was alto
ge;her a happy event, long to be re,
membered.

The fog horn may be blowing away for

10 rise in the word. Little pitchers
have proverbial large ears. and they ara
not by any means lacking in the article
tongue. A cigarette makes more smoke
than the biggest cigar, and as to smell,
not all the stogies in the county could
hope to compete with the little paper
covered cigar. A little idea in a little
head will make more noise than a bum,

many, very many more people than are
willing to acknowledge it. The little
dog will do more barking in a given time
than half a dozen big CANNES, and the
puppy is not to be outdone by the mos

destruction. The most inquisitive cate
chism could never compete with the
small boy in the asking OF questions and
the same is equally true Of The little girl.
Il is the little foxes that spoil the vines

Little lies are the most dangerous, the
big ones, like human giants, only make
themselves ridiculous by their grotesque
proportions. A little thing in your eye
seels az big as a meeting house, but 1t

Wednesday afternoon was busy day

The University cadets gave their first

pleasure is in store for the young folks. |
