Brief Dinners the Rule.

Washington society has achieved
the impossible, in that no one with
pretensions to inner knowledge of the
correct thing will give dinner party
which lasts more than an ho1r and
a half from the moment the cocktails
are taken until the men join the wom-
en- in the drawing room. One hour
and three-quarters is the time allotted
even to a White House dinner, and
the guests of the president, after
chatting with the women for Is min
utes, are expected to depart. A big
relief this from the old dinner, when
folks sat at table from until IL and
then smoked and spun yarns for two
hours more.

The Avera1e Freshman.

He came to college without mani
fest aptitude; the secondary educa-
ton which might have been a eau
tious effort to dissect it out or create
a substitute buried it deeply under
a mass of rubbish. For him freedom
means diffusion or supe%fciality. The
elective system tempts him in diff
ferent dozen directions; arOuses d
dozen interests that collapse at the
moment when effort or persistence is
demanded. This is the meaning of
many isolated courses pursued in diff
ferent departments. The elective sys-
tenn deteriorates into a tickling Of the
palate. Eventually the boys real sal
walton comes, if at all, when, in cOmpe-
tition with the uneducated barbarians
of the outer world, he faces the alter
native Of efficiency or starvation.

SOLDIERS MUST
DODGE ARGENTA

Little Rock, Ark, September 20.-
Trouble between the police of Argenta,
a city located just across the river
from Little Rock, and regular army
soldiers stationed at Fort Pogan H
Root, has resulted in an order being
issued by Maj. Thompson, officer In
command of the post, prohibiting all
privates of the Sixteenth infantry, u.
s. A., from visiting Argenta without a
special permit. The rule is SO drastic
that the men are not even allowed to
pass through the city and in coming to
Little Rock they are required to travel
by a roundabout way.
One private has already disobeyed the
order and as the result has been
courtmartia1ed and now is serving a
sentence of three months in the guard
house at the post and $50 of his pay
is being appropriated by the govern
ment as a fine for the offense. The
private was arrested by the Argenta
police and placed in the city calaboose
charged with being drunk.
When it became known at the post
that he was held an entire company of
infantry marched down from the post
to the calaboose an dafter securing his
release, marched him back to the fort
to stand courtmartial.
The officers of the post claim that the
Argenta police have been unfair In
tn cir treatment OF the soldiers.
