outraged by the success of the ball given

more than first appearances would indi- /
ate. It may be stated right here that

OrtS OF the members alone who are too I
oor IN purse TO do everything Some ,
EXAMINATIONS can get anything they wish ,
eserve, and II will result in disruption
s sure as fate.
