Wit.

A witty man is dramatic perform
err; in process of time he can no more
exist without applause than he can
exist without air; IL his audience be
small, or If they are inattentive. or If
new wit defrauds him of any por-
ton of his admiration, 1t is all over
with him-he sickens and is extin-
guished. The applause of the thea
ter on which he performs is so es-
sential to him that he must obtain
it at the expense Of decency, friend
ship and good feeling. = Sydney

fly thinks l am very intelligent"
Yes, by the side of them you are"

After this the scrap was renewed

New Cape Fashion.

A new type in the cape fashions is a
singularly plain pattern made like
the seamless robe of priest 1t is
sleeveless and made of fine material
What it lacks in pattern it makes up
abundantly in trimming. for often the
trimming is extremely rich, costly and
of a magnificent pattern.

one year ago Yale triumphed over the

fully the equal Of the New Haven aggre-
CATION, and her supporters thronged 70
New Haven filled with confidence as to
the outcome. Under perfect conditions

Wildly excited spectators. the Blue team

The Nale-Harard clash cf 1896 was a
memorable one, in that iil-feeliag existed
between the teams when they lined-up
Harvard had been d:ctltorial I'm regard
to the appointment Of officers for the
game. and the Bull5o2s smashing tactics
were not a little helped ~ the resent
ment felt. Only once IN the game was the
Blue goal menaced. and that was in the

Yale utilized the forward pass 20 advau-

touchdown. A long pass by Veeder 10
Alcott was the beginning Of the play that
wound up in an easy touchdown by
Roome, Needer kicking the goal This
occurred in the first half. after Yale-s
rushing tactics had tired the Crimson
players
Through he second half Yale played a
defensive game. taking advantage. how
ever. Of every chance TO worry the Har-
ward defense. and at times seemed on the
point Of scoring again. 4 touchdown in q
few seconds seemed inevitable Just as the
final whistle sounded. In general Har-
ward defeat was attributed 20 loose
play. bur the experts agreed that the
Cambridge eleven had been inferior in

BurT.s long punts were the only fca-
lures that compared favorably with the

That which seems to her contempt
raries an added charm may appear TO
the crudely young mark OF decline,
at least so II appears in one instance
Of which the hostess herself tells with
enjoyment.
The lady Is connoisseur OF antiques,
At one Of her teas debutante rich
with the glow OF youth, hut sadly con
strained with her sense Of her own
novelty, was handed cup Of tea, The
cup was beautifully blue and wonder
fully old. The hostess, desiring "a
tighten the strain on her youthful
guest by pleasingly dlverting re-
mark, said THAT little cup Is la
years old"

strained tones. how careful YOU must
be TO have kept 1t so long"
