alize The seemingly unnecessary sums
of money that the students spend on
their guests during the one short week

these festivities is yearly soaring nigh

will come when the student of average
means will not be able to participate in

regular routine for the man who takes
in everything is about as follows: The
theater Saturday night, Sunday morn

made. Monday is given up to teas. ger
mans, dinners, drives, the musical
clubs concert at the Hyperion and a
score of other things. Tuesday morn

tition of the day before, and then in the
evening comes the event of the week
the Promenade.
