The older people who went up to the
university for the Japanese hop FRI
day evening were more than amazed
an the success with which the affair
was managed. Not only We're the dec
orations without exception the most
artistic ever placed In the hall, but
down to the minutest detail everything
was in perfect working order. Per-
haps one criticism, and one only, could
be made. and that is not the fault Of
the young men managing the affair.
The custom Of agreeing 10 act as cha
perones for parties given by young
people and then falling TO even appear
on the scene is one not to be COM
nended. OF course, there are times
when one must forego obligations Of
such a nature, but 1t would be we'll
always to consider well the possihili-
ties in the case before promising the
young men (who are making every eff
fort to do the correct thing) the favor
of ones services and then forgetting
the matter. IL isn't an onerous task
to- see young people having a pleasant
time and 20 help to make il more en-
5oyable.
Isn't that pink frock a poem?'
'Ye-es. but don't you think the top
verse is little short?"
Already costumes and appurten-
anCes for the bal masque TO be givenin
the post hall are under discussion, and
the prospects are that some wonder
fully interesting characters viii be
shown at the event.
The little Yum-Yums and Pitti-Sings
AT the university Friday evening, who,
in their Jap dresses, could hardly be
recognized by even their close friends,
and who poured the tea with such
grace, were the Misses Jean Spencer,
AIaude Ritter. Anne Cannon, Kitty Lit
tie and Bernice Young.
He-I know she Is considered an aw-
ful gossip. but she seems 10 be q ia
yorite in the fine of assisting with
teas.
she-O. dear yes she is equally
graceful with either hammer or tongs
wonderfully amusing incident hap
pened at the hop Wednesday evening
