THOSE BuNKlNe PARTIES,
Blood Curdling Screams and Lunches
Form Greater Part Of This
Amusement,

Everyone knows what bunking
party is, for In the Silly hours Of the
morn the death like silence and inky
blackness, Of the hour before dawn,
have been torn asunder by the
screeches OF a lot Of girls staying all
night with a friend.
Friday evening the writer noticed a
party Of young girls vending their
way southwark all carrying lunches
and giggling mysteriously. We
wondered what was going TO take
place.
About midnight we were enllghten-
ed upon our downy couch, the dream
clouds waiting our thoughts hIther
and thither 10 the land OF nod, a
series Of startling screams, from with
out the night, around us and impress.
ed the fact upon us that some fair
Agnes was being killed by cruel bad
robber. Springing from the bed and
grabbing our trusty six shooter we
started out the front door and up the
street, clad only In an excited expires
sion and our abbreviated robe-de-nuit
1t was little trouble to find the place
where the screams we're being manu-
factured for now 1t seemed as II who'll
boarding school had Jared loose. Al
we started into the yard, shouting
Justify that aid was at hand, some fail
lassie grappled the agony harp ant
tore of Back, Back to Baltimore.
We tumbled, not literally but figure
lively and returned home a sad but
wiser man.
