especially to the university young peO-
pie, is the spring carnival planned
by the Woman's league. The univer-
sity girls want building of their
rious clubs may have permanent
rooms, where the Y. w. G. A. can have
it's headquarters, and the girls who
do not go home can find a resting
place during the noon hour. This
building Is. as yet, rather visionary,
large hall suitable for dancing par
ties for the fraternities and for the
girls who wish to entertain and have
no place in which to do it.
To realize this plan, money is need
ed, and the girls are unwilling to wait
until 1t may please the legislature, or
some benevolently disposed individ
to. furnish the. necessary funds. At
present board of women editors is
engaged on an issue Of the Mime
sofa Magazine, the proceeds from
which shall go to the building fund.
But they are not content with this,
and have larger plans on, foot. On
Monday, April 4, they will turn the
armory into q city of booths and hold
drawn on a large scale and include a
continuous musical program, the sale
of refreshments and several other en-
terprises which are being kept a Sc
cret.
There will be twenty booths, twelve
representing the msnths of the year,
seven devoted to the days of the week
and one under the charge of the Y.
w. G. A. These booths are merely
| decorative features and not sale
stands, for nothing will be sold at the
carnival except admission tickets, re-
| freshments and the Woman's Mag"
The September booth will be repro
duction Of the registrars office, and
all who attend the carnival will be
ton cards. The football season will
receive recognition in the October
booth, and December will display
Christmas decorations, with st. Mich
olas in charge. So the features OF
the months will be shown thru the
year around to August, where the
summer girl will dispense ice cream
and kindred dainties.
Over in the weekday circle the
scheme will be the same. The only
feature Of this series made public is
the Thursday booth, which will rep.
resent calling day and will be pre-.
sided over by ladies Of the faculty
who will serve tea.
The men will be turned out of their
stronghold in the south gymnasium
| and the room made into q fish pond
where the lovers of piscatorial spor
can be sure of a catch for every bal
cast. All bait must be purchased or
the premises.
The committee in charge has an
nounced that there will be no mold
up propositions-and no "deadheads.
The complimentary ticket will be q. dis $,
pensed with, and even the committed
members and girls in charge of tn
booths will have to pay admission.
Can anyone help a puzzled woman
to know whose card party she is IN
vited to Wednesday afternoon? Ih'
invitation came by telephone and be
was talking to her the communicates
was broken and now she has not tn
faintest idea who has asked her II
come over and play six-hand euchr'
Wednesday, very informal, just abou
twenty people and be sure and don,
be late"
In talking over the telephone g
many take it for granted that thet
voices will be recognized that they ar
!. slow to give their names when reall,
very few talk telephonically in a nat
ural tone. BY the way woman sal
yesterday that the telephone was re
sponsible for the increase in 1nforma
entertaining and the decrease in for
NAL affairs. 1T is SO much easier t
: call up a dozen women than to bottle
ordering invitations and then, toe
nothing is expected of a telephon
, party, no decorations, simple refresh
ments and almost anything will do 70
/ prizes. They are lots more fun tina
: the formal affairs and such saving
} nerves as well as money" Which
: doubtless the true reason.
