hulk. the woodwork being set afire to more
easily reach the heavy bars The young
people, seeing the advantage of such large
fire, at once formed their parties and the
events were unique in every respect. The
great. pitch pine beams of the wreck smoi-
dered with red glow with an occasional
flame bursting forth with weird shadows
in the surrounding darkness, and not only
served to roast their CONNECTIONS but kept
the party warm as well. Several more such
parties will be given during the coming
week. after which there will be informal
dances at the hotel.
