FRATERNITY ENTERTAINs
Epsilon Taus Of Trinity College Greet
Their Friends,

The Epsilon Tau Society of Trinity Col
lege gave its first entertainment in honor
OF Its friends Friday evening at 8
O'Clock. OConnor Hall was exquisitely dec
GRATED with spring flowers, great punches
OF dogwood being especially prominent
Miss Jane Mcdonald, the leader of the glee
club. welded the baton both for the vocal
choruses and the orchestra music very eff
fectively. The lecturer Of the occasion, Dr.
Maurice Francis Egan, was introduced by
the president of the Soroity, Miss Katha-
rine O'Donahoe of Omaha Neb.
d. Egan's subject was The Short
story" This. he declared, was the espe-
cially characteristic form of art of the
present time in English-speaking America
In fact" he said, 1.-THE short story as we
know II, owes Its present art form to the
influence Of the greatest of all writer's of
short stories-Edgar Poe. Thirty years ago
France, except Poe. And, If the earlier
influences on Balzac were those of Mrs
Ratcline. Monk Lewis and Sir Walter
scott, there can be no doubt that all the
later short story writers Of France-Dau-
Diet. Copee and De Maupassant-owen much
OF their inspiration and a great deal If
their method to Poe, who was first intro
duced to FRANCE by that lover Of the weird
and horrible-Charles Baudclare
The short story" DR.. Egan continued,
is new form of art, and must not, as
brander matthew's says. be COMPOUNDED with
the long story made Short
But what was regarded as the gem of the
lecture was an example of the production
Of required effect by means Of psycholog-
ical progression. This in itself was a
charming bit OF art, and was received with
evident appreciation" which justified the
conclusion that DR.. Egan has introduced
into his lecture field new and very de-
lightfuI art form.
The hall was crowded to it's fullest capac-
ity by the friends of the students of Trinity.
which included some of the most represen-
tatlve people In Washington. So great was
the success of this first entertainment that
1t has been determined that the society
shall offer as equally an unique one every
year.

scvcn,eenth century wagons.

The introduction Of stage wagons
in England about the middle OF the sew
enteenth century led to many abuses.
In London they were known as hell
carts" on account Of the hot time they
gave the unf6rtunates inside. Their
drivers were said to be seldom sober,
never civil and always late" and their
size-copled by other yehicles-was
such that when they broke down all
traffic behind was necessltated TO
stand stock still on most beastly deep
wet ways till 1t pleased them to jog
on" During the reign Of Charles Ill:
parliament passed an act concerning
the size Of carts and wagons, with ex-
tremely heavy penalties for infringe
ments, but when the act came to be
applied 1t was discovered that the mod;
Ell prescribed by it was impracticable to
such an extent that the Judges gave
directions not to enforce the act.

Knives For Brides.

The custom of giving knives to
brides was formerly common prac'
tice. when Il was fashionable for wo-
men to wear knives sheathed and sus'
pended from their girdles. \ wedding
offered an opportunity Of presenting
something novel or ornamental in the
cutlery line. and frequent reference to
such presents occurs IN the plays of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
In the (Which Of Edmonton" 1(AS, for
instance, the bride Is described as
wearing THE new pair Of Sheffield
knives, fitted to one sheath" A list
of trinkets usually worn by ladies
about 1860 includes girdles, knives,
