VARSITY STUDENTS RECEIVE
Two Student Societies Held d Re-
cepti"n at Home of Philip
LaursOn Wednesday Night.

Wednesday evening the Kappa
Literary Society of Dakota Univers-
lty rendered a reception to its sister
society, the Pbilomathean. The
affair occurred at the home of Phil
Up Laurson, which was beautifully
decorated in honor of the ladies.
one room was dIaped with the
Kappa colOrs, scarlet and chestnut,
the second with the Philos, purple
and white, and the third with the
white and royal blue Of the Univer-
sity. Numberless candles shed a soft
light over the decorations. About a
dozen small tables were arranged for
progressive finch, n a huge punch
bowl stood in one corner a mute in
vItation to the thirsty.
The character of the reception
was unique, to say the least. At
first the ladies and gentlemen at
tempted to match broken quotations,
only to find, after much tribulation,
that they could make no matches.
After recovering from their surprise
they repaired to the finch tables
During the game walnut shells, clev-
erly glued together w4re passed
around with strict iniunctions to
crack them at 10 $50 p. NJ. At the
appointed time the shells were
cracked, only to be found empty,
The S lis were becoming numerous
and the fun hilarious when the win
ners Of the games were announced,
first prize being awarded to Miss
Alice Boyer and the BOBBY prize to
Miss Grace Nicholson. The prizes
were awarded to the two ladies by
MIR. Satterlee, speaking in behalf of
the Kappas. On inspection the tro-
pixies were found to be as twisted
out of their usual places as was
everything else on the program, the
winner receiving a bit of cheese
cloth, the BOBBY winner a magniti-
cent emblem spoon bearing the mi
tials Of the Kappa order.
During the evening 5wo pages,
Master Graham and Master Pierce,
served refreshments to the merry
makers and each lady was presented
with purple and white chrysanthem-
nms. Festivities broke up at a seas
enable hour, and the two societies
wended their collective way home,
feeling that the relation Of brother
and sister are indeed pleasant.

When G. W. Walrath's meat market,
was opened Thursday morning by the
butcher in his employ the safe was
found to be in a very demo1alized con-
dition owing to the visitation Of some
robbers during the night, Parties
gained access to the meat market
through the rear door, which was
PRED open. The safe was blown open
and all the money and some checks,
the result of a big days sale of
Ihanksgivi wing turkeys and meats was
secured. The door was flown from
the heavy iron hinges with some
kind of explosive and was found w.

charge must have been a heavy one
The door was somewhat twisted and
the inner lining was broken into
small pieces.

safe escape, as up to the present time
no clue has been ascertained of their
identity. Night Watch Briggs said
that he was in the same vicinity
about midnight when the robbery

any noise that aroused his suspicion
That a robbery was going on, and that
while he heard the falling door, which
gave forth only a slight sound, there
was no noise to the explosion. Will
Nobis, who rooms nearly three blocks
away, said that he heard the noise

sued Tuesday morning. The remains
rested within a beautiful casket
which opened full length. The church
was entirely too small to accommo-
date the great number OF friends who
gathered there to pay their last trib-
ute to the memory Of a lady who in
liz, possessed their highest respect
and esteem. Not only in this way
was their love and admiration ex-
pressed but also through the form of
beautiful floral emblems. From one
side of the platform to the other was
grouped these offerings, and there
were some very handsome pieces.
Aside from the many individual
pieces flowers were sent from many
societies Of which the deceased or
her husband was a representative
member, among them being the post

Star, teachers of the city schools,
high school department, Mitchell
Typographical Union, Twentieth
Century Club, Round Table, Masonic
fraternity. members of the capital
committee, and boys and girls clubs.
These r1ute elnbIe1us spoke in strong

held by the donors than could be
manifested in any other way.

Rev. D. R Tomlin. pastor Of the

music during the service was
rendered by Misses G%oodykoontz and
Mccormick and Messrs. Travis AND
Fry, with Mrs. J.. N. Grow at the
oragn. The casket was opened to
view the remains and as the friends
passed slowly by the bier of the dead
the grief Of many was apparent.
The remains were laid to rest in

OF carriages followed thither. The
Following were the bodybearers:

self. Seeing her hesitation the man at
once said:

and get change. Your little boy can go

Could suspicion demand more than that?
| The widow surrendered her IS, and her
golden-haired son Of six proudly accom-
panied the vendor to the saloon, the widow
standing guard meantime over the oollat-

trusted an honest man.
Absorbed though she was In her con-
scientious review of her conduct she finally
became aware Of the fight OF time. and
turned her gaze on tho saloon doorl No
golden-haired son nor yet cross-eyed huck-

Alarm seized the widow. She called her
sister to watch the pushcart, and dashed
wildly over to the saloon. Regardless

model from famous French house has
this fringe for its essential trimming, and

1t is pale almond green cloth, fine enough
to fall with wonderful softness. The skirt,
plated from the waist band has no trimming

An unlined cloth cape cut pelerine fashion
has the same fringe trimming and fastens

chains of old silver in gray finish A blouse
of cream lace strapped in the almond green
cloth accompanies the skirt and cape.
On white wool frock this narrow fringe
in wool or silk is an effective trimming, and

gold or white braid. Narrow fringes OF

women who have no feeling for reforms.
One in pearl gray crepe, embroidered in
trailing purple wistaria, and worn with a
girdle, clasps and ornaments of old silver
set with amethysts, sounds lovely enough
to lead any one into the paths of dress re-

In softest liberty satin, too, these En-

of pale pink liberty satin, with fichu scarfs

exquisite of sheen and hue, the Empire

changes in the shore limo at the eastern
end of Long Island have been so great this
year "a to affect considerably the habits
OF the dwellers here and at Southampton.
This is noted chiefly in the practical aban-
donment of the bathing hour that used to
be a daily feature of life in these places.
There are, of course, bathers on the beach
every morning and their friends are there
10 watch them. But their number ia much
smaller than it used to be- and as a dalIy
turnout the bathing hour is thing Of
tho past
The frequent accidents here during th"
past few years, the undertow and the u
Irregularities of the beach, which changes III
formation from day to day, are Responsible
for the abandonment of this feature
Of cottage life. Now only tho sturdieSt
swimmers venture into the water ana even
they have learned to he prudsnt. ,,..
Al Southampton the change is proUa'N
more severely felt, as the bathing h"u
always drew to the beach crowd OF tts
most attractive women dressed n MeiI
smartest costumes. This sight new

influence is hardly likely to be felt, advo-

will be particularly liked FOR dressy wear
and there is evidence that the wolfe weaves
| will be worn not only through the autumn
but also for certain occasions throughout
the winter. This material is so adaptable
to the fussy modes of the moment that il
is dear to women's hearts, and the finest
qualities of cloth also lend themselves to
/ the shirrings, pIaitngs, &c.
just what compromises the bulker zibe-
lines will make with the prevailing modes
remains to be seen. One importer shows
several zibeline froCks with much fulness
and some shirrng. but although the models
bear the name of Il famous house they can
not be pronounced successful and it is proba-
bic that tine heavy woolv stuns must be
sept to palmer lines.

2ibelnes of softest texture arc eminontIy
desirable, and somc of the very SWEETEST
of the new warm wraps are loose coats of
biscu!t-c"Jored long nap 2ibrline, silky
cleaning and falling softly. Swapping of
plain face cloth in the same color finishes
some Of these coats. Others have darker
brown velvet at throat and cuffs, and still
others are braided or finished merely with
stitching and heavy cordolieres
A popular cape coat model is also offered
in zibeline, the coat short or three-qlarters

falls to the elbow. A straight standing
military collar Of velvet and dull gold ball

better than the heavy winter materials, and
the shepherds plaid woollens, which have
been in favor all summer, make excellent
September shirt waist costumes and coat

check is liked even better than the more
common black and white, and trimmings of
plain brown or white cloth give distinction
to such frock

Chiffon scarfs of several shades threaded
