From present indications, society
people will be gay enough henceforth
to make up for the dull days during
the spring, public and private events
crowding each other for space in the
list Of announcements. Next week the
big Baptist day will occur on Wednes-
day and on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday evenings the Maennerchor go
ciety will hold its annual Mayfest, new
and interesting features being announc-
ed for the carnival this year. The
closing May days are sure to be busy
ones and June is always a gay month,
commencement being now less than
thirty days away, the cadet ball, which
inaugurates the festivities, falling
June 14th.

The entertainment to be given next
evening for the Baptist day
festival gives promise of exceptional
interest and excellence. 1t consists of
two principal features, the first being
a Red Ridinghood drill by thirty chill
dren, the young performers appearing
as bears. princes, Red Ridinghoods and
grannies. More important, however, is
the pantomimic reproduction Of Ten

den," which will be given in sixteen
pictures, with colored lights. Mrs. De-
Kay, Captain Heavey and DR.. Ballard
will present the piece with the assist

will act as accompanist, rendering
most effectively the music written es-
pecially for the poem by the great
Strauss.
Last evening the members of Damon
lodge, knights Of Pythias, enjoyed a
smoker at their hall and while they
were, as they imagined, enjoying them
selves to the fullest extent, the castle
was stormed by Al invading host Of
Pythian Sisters, but as the advancing
army exhibited the flag of truce in the
shape of signs of a feast, the besieged
not only capitulated, but received the
intruders with open arms. The visit
from the ladies was an absolute sur
prise and the occasion was a very
pleasant one, the odors of coffee ming
ling with the aroma of tobacco in a
name calculated to soften the most
adamant masculine heart.
The University Glee and Mandolin
clubs gave a very successful concert
and dance at North Star hall last night,
netting $35 for the club debt, which
was originally $685." The concert
program was rendered from 8 o'clock
until 9 and dancing occupied the re-
mainder Of the evening, Misses Thyra
and Miriam Doyle furn,
ishing splendid music for the dancers.
The club will play for the Knights of
Columbus supper at Maennerchor hall
on the 26th and expect to fully liqui-
date the debt by that concert.
DR.. and Mrs. McCollum entertained
a large party of young people at whist
last night at an apple blossom party,
the occasion being a very delightful
one. The score cards were adorned
with apple blossoms and were hand
painted, the prizes also carrying out
prettily the pink and white idea,, the
apple blossom tints also appearing in
