of Mr.. Negus and som ladies. friends of
DR.. Koonz. Everything came by the
dozen, even the young ladies themselves.
The supper was served in the picture gall
lery of DIR. Koonz's residence, No. 81 Gift
ford avenue, and the decorations were
certainly unique. Festoons of national
flowers and smilax We're draped from

wires among the lowers. Then there
were pretty little hand painted menus,
ornamented with twelve doves, the birds,
being sed by a fat little cook. These
were the hand work of Mr.. Negus.
The MENU. too. was in twelve courses,
served by the cooks in cooks costume.

Society this week has two all absorbing
subjects. Either its massive mind is bent
upon preparations for a speedy depart
ure from heat and dust at the earliest
possible momen or Upon the graduation
of its children.
Perhaps the latter is. after all, the more
absorbing for even those who will not
graduate sons and daughters, of their own
are the sisters. mothers and daughters of
those who will. and have therefore almost
as great an interest in the graduate, with
her fluffy gown of white o~rgandie, as the
parents themselves, and probably quite as
much to say
st really do not know what I should
nave DONE remarked Mr.. Stimets. the
other day, .If announcement had come
this week. I should simply have had to
postpone it. We could not have stood
the heat Mr.. Stimets had just been
complimented upon his good fortune that
Hasbrouck commencement had not arriv-
ed in the terrific heat of last week, or
rather that the terrific heat had not ar
rived just in time for commencement;
even though it did have to come the week
before
However. the heat has merely had pow
er to cool off the ardor of commencement
for the time being, and today the pupils
are Just as enthusiastic as ever over es-
says. gowns and all the paraphernalia
attached to a first class graduation.
Hasbrouck Institute will this year send
nine out of its sixteen graduates to col
lege. Of these, two, Messrs. Arnold Furst
and Charles Holbrook will go to Yale:
three, Misses Ethel Phillips, Charlotte
Fountain and Florence Reid to Barnard;
Miss Anna' ]. Ellis, to Bryn Mawr,; Mr..
Arthur T.. Dear, TO Prineeton; Mr.. Aaron
S. Gould, to Amherst, and Mr.. LIE Roy
Hutton. to Cornell. This makes about
three hundred pupils sent to college by
Hasbrouck Institute during it's forty
three years of existence.
And now Sorosis has closed its doors to
the public. No more are it's lectures to
appear in the daily papers. All its deal
ings henceforth must be for the reserved
few who have already gained fame in the
literary world even though they be not
known outside of a Woman's Club. Surely
Sorosis is making a selfish mistake when
It decides that lectures upon such prac-
teal subjects as "Teach the girls to keep
their bureau drawers in order shall be
reserved for the daughters of those who
nave already sufficient knowledge in this
line to spend the remainder of their days
IN theory. But the most disastrous re-
suit of Sorosis' seifishness is yet to come
when the minor clubs take up the cry of
House in Secret Session." and the world
is no more enlightened by the brilliancy
of Parliamentary study classes. Too
bad Just when woman is gaining such
a foothold in America, that the very fore
most of her clubs should exclude man SO
far that he may not even read of her do
ings through the agency of the press.
Surely Sorosis should reconsider her
decision.
