Study and Social Club, of Harper.

Mrs. S. E. Cole, assisted by Mesdames
Rogers. Beason, Lamar Farwell, Lee and
Misses Seff and FarweI, entertained the
Study and Social club at her home Thurs
day afternoon. December 90 in a most de-
lightful manner. The home, beautiful in
its appointments, was made still more so
by being Iavishly decorated with ferns and
bitter-sweet berries (shipped from Ohio,
while roses and carnations filled the air
with their delicate perfume. Contrasted
with the winters chill, the rooms seemed
veritable sylvan bowers. The ladies' graced
the occasion with their sweetest smiIes.
their brightest wit and their most becom-
ing gowns. Mrs. Lee distributed pink
cards. tied with green ribbons, upon which
we're printed eleven things found in a corn
field. After much guessing it was found
that five ladies had each guessed the same
number OF correct answers.
Miss Croker was the giftie the poet
must have had in mind when he wrote:
20 wad some power the giftie gle US
To see ourselves as ithers see US"
When she presented each lady with a
green booklet, tied with pink ribbons, in
which were stanzas descriptive of the
the word pictures that the ladies had no
trouble in recognizing each other The
poem IS printed below.
a piano and mandolin number, by Mes
danes Rogers and Lamar, was much en-
1oyed.
Care to our coffin adds a nail no doubt,
And every grin so merry draws one out"
So thought Mrs. Beeson when she re-
ouested each lady to bite an apple hanging
by string from the ceiling. How the
big mouths grew bigger. and the little ones
stretched almost to bursting in the at
tempts 10 do as hidden. Il never laughed
SO hard in all my life'' was heard on all
sides. Mrs. Spooner succeeded in getting
two big bites from her apple. Mrs. Wealth
erly a.~o got two, but bigger, and was
awarded n immense apple tied with pink
ribbons foI ct pains.
And then came the invitation to supper
Each guest was given nosegay, the COM
panion to which designated her place at
the table. The dainty china and cut glass, |
the floral decorations and the tempting
viands made a most inviting scene, salts
flying the carnal appetite and the aesthetic |
taste Of the most exacting. Pressed |
chicken, cold tongue, nut salad, sailed al |
monds. bread and butter. cranberry jelly, |
olives, pickles. celery, cheese-straws, cof- |
fee ice cream and several varieties of de- |
licious cake composed the menu.
Culinary wrinkles booklets done in
water colors and containing tested choice |
recipes were given as souvenirs of this
delightful occasion. And now that it is

Some banquet hall deserted,
Whost lights are fed and garlands dead
And all but him departed

FRIENDS UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Mrs. Ford is very i'll at her home in
the Zimmerly building.
The university board of trustees has
made arrangements for furnishing the
building with city water.
There was an unusually large attend
ance al the chapel services last Sunday.
Professor Jay preached, taking as mis-
text, THE Inward Life Sunday school
was organized after the services.
1t IS time to prepare for our spring ath-
letics. Are we going 10 have a track
team?" is question now often heard in
the halls. In and out of door meets are
amusements which not only spice col
lege tolls, but make them easier.
The library committee mas secured for
our rapidly increasing library twenty-one
neatly bound volumes from Scott, Forse-
man & Co. which will be very useful TO
the several departments; also fifteen vol
umes from Grim & Co, which will be of
great interest TO the English classes.
Several Of the students have United
forces for the purpose Of organizing a
second literary society. A little rivalry
is a thing to be desired, as il adds en-
- bS ~ AA4t NODcSC tI1c Inc odN4S
ceum extends hearty congratulations to
the young organization.
Definite arrangements have been made
for the completion of the main entrance
corridor. the large assembly room and the
office Of the ward, on the main floor.
The work will commence not later than
the last of March, and will be finished
some time in May
One of the most delightful social events
OF the year was the reception given by
the two Christian associations to the new
students Of the university Saturday even
ing, January Z. The reception committee
are to be congratulated upon the success
OF the entertainment. An amusing feature
or the evening was the unique manner of
choosing partners for supper. The young
ladies were sent into a room where each
was given the name of a book or poem.
The library catalogue was then taken 10
the young men who, after choosing their
literature, lined up before the door where
the librarian presented each gentleman
with his chosen volume. Such gatherings
live long in the memories of the students
as happy reminder of college life.

UPHELD BY THE APPELLATE DIvIsION
DECISION OF THE LOWER COURT CONFIRMED IN
THE HOFFMAN HOUSE CASE.

DECISION OF THE LOWER COURT CONFIRMED IN
THE HOFFMAN HOUSE CASE.
The Appellate Division OF the Supreme Court yes
terday handed down a decision in the case OF Ec-
ward s Stokes as receiver Of the Hoffman House
against the Hoffman House. OF New-York. on
December 2 1885, an order was made appointing
Edward s Stokes receiver Of the property covered
By a mortgage TO the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company 10 foreclose which a suit had Deen
brought against the Hoffman House. New-Jersey
corporation In March, 1894 that part Of the mort
gagged property known the Hoffman House was
sold under foreclosure and purchased by new cor
poraton. the present defendant, organized under
the New-York statute. Il. $. Stokes was the presi-
dent OF this new corporation. end he continued 70
manage the business Of the hotel keeping the ac-
counts in his own name The present action grew
out OF claims and counter claims made by stokes
and the corporation.
The question at issue was whether the defendant
was liable for $4,000 paid by the plaintiff receiver
to the Livingston estate for rents and also as to
whether the plaintiff entitled TO credit for a
check for s9,2s2 42 turned over by him 10 the de-
fendant.
The Court holds that the referee who took the
testimony was clearly right in holding that the
check mentioned was not included IN the ordinary
hotel receipts which had been gone over by ex-
perts. and the plaintiff is accordingly entitled 10
credit for H. on that point the Court Is unanimous
but regards the question OF tle rent IIeIe 10
division. The majority, IN an opinion oy Presdihg
Justice Van Brunt holds that without some dlIec-
tion from the Court from which he derived his au-
thOrity which the receiver could point authorz-
ing the expenditure thus made by him, the pay
ment Of the rent out Of funds in his hands was a
Misrepresentation. as he had no right to deplete
the funds IN his hands In that way, he not being
able 70 create such liability. Therefore. there be-
ing no liability on the part Of the receiver for this
rent and u having been paid FOR the purposes OF
the defendant corporation Oy its president wrong
fully applying funds IN his hands receiver there
for IL seems that he is entitled TO recover II
back In order 10 make the fund good TO the extent
Of the wrongful expenditure made by him.
The judgment OF tho court below, which was
IN favor Of Stokes IS affirmed. well as an order
denying motion 10 the report OF the referee
for amendment. Justice Barrett concurs in the
result but writes a separate opinion. Justice Rum
sey dissents far as the recovery Of the $4,000 is
concerned
