girls naade? They dldn't send that dele

their wish that the Princeton boys be al

promised to give them, and as many girls,

And now the flnai edict has come; the

making the arrangements for the concert,
mas made a very sensible determination
IN regard to 1t. Dressing rooms will be
provided for the ladies and all ladies are
requested to remove their hats. Even
those who Gao contemplated wearing
bewssching Easter creations Will be
pleased at this. for it has always been
impossible to see more than the three or
four hats in the row in front and those
three or four are a poor substitute TO the
most inveterate hat inspector for

aew hats. if they are especially anxious

and then hold them as they do in
theatres.
The concert itself will be unusually fine.
A great deal of new music will be sung
ana played and patriotic pieces will not
be forgotten. And then there is the dance
and the suppe Even if the concert
we're not the excellent one. 1t is the girls
would attend for the pleasure of dancing
witt the Princeton boys. Even the hard
hearted professors canno prevent that.
The Lenten Sewing Circle has caused a
Heal of amusement at one time or an
other and not the least merriment was
occasioned by its latest determination
about the prizes for its charity euchre.
The Circle. it will be remembered. badger
I'd the merchants of Jersey City and New
York last year until they had succeeded.

forty prizes ranging in value from three

cream and cake served the S6o players.
Then the ladies themselves paid one dol
lar for the privilege of playing for that
seventy-fve dollar lamp. and failing that.

the merchants had reduced the cost of the
euchre TO nothing
The ladies of the circle were extremely
Indignant when all this was said and they
announced that the merchants would not
be troubled this time. So they gave the
prizes themselves and begged a few from
personal friends and succeeded in getting
t~wenty-four. One of these cost twenty
eight dollars. The Others averaged from
three TO ten dollars. Then they were
triumphant and they asked that it be

This time they served lemonade and
waters. This time also there were but 152

Z Perhaps by next year the circle will
really give a charity euchre. 1t would
be an interesting experiment TO see wat
comes of ii. suppose the ladies of the
city were asked to give one dollar to
these worthy charities at a euchre and
xhe money spent in refreshments and the
hundred or more dosfars spent IN prizes
were added 10 the sum realized from the
sale of tickets-how many tickets would
be sold? It would be an interesting ex-
