Mr.. Allen is an adept at the are of en-
tertaining a stag party-he just merely
turned the boys loose in his house and
accepted the results.
The larger part Of the evening was
spent in singing college songs When
this became monotinous,l Judge Werner
and Clarence Powell proceeded to show
the rest of the singers 60 how to cake
walk. Their efforts were very success
ful-at least they were loudly applauded
by the rest of the gang.
The next thing was a peanut walk.
In this game the fiat side of ruler is
covered with peanuts. One of the play
ers takes it and crosses the room while
the rest try to make him laugh and
makes the carrier laugh the hardest wins
the game. On this particular occasion,
Mr. Powell won an easy victory.
It is said on good authority that Mr..
Powell's performance was such that they
would have caused an Indian cigar sign
to forget the dignity Of his expression.
The next hting was the dining room
where an elegant spread was served,
frappe, fruit and cake being the principal
attractions. After this there were moro
games and josh, and the frat having
