If you were one Of some 80 pretty
girls who were Independent of the
boys and needed not male assistance
to have a good time, and especially
If you were one of some Is of the
80 girls, who in order to show your
complete independence of that sex
had donned male attire to participate
in pretty little dance where real
men weren't wanted, and then, II, be-
ing one of the aforesaid girls you were
heartily enjoying yourself, and sud-
denly in the midst of your revels you
discovered that the boys couldn't get
along without you and had hidden
themselves where they could peep
down upon you-say what would
your feelings be?
If you can not exactly say, ask
some pretty high school girl what she
thinks of the invasion of the girls
dancing party in Milarky hall last
night by some of the high school
boys.
Being a lady your school friend
will hardly be able to tell you just
what she thinks, but she will certainly
try some,
You will be able to get the general
trend of her opinion If not the exact
shade, for your young friend is still
pretty mad
And with reason, for never did
folks obtrude where they were not
wanted any more than did those high
school boys who from the scuttle in
the roof Of the Milarky hall watched
the high school girls dance last night
1t wouldn't have been so bad If
half of the girls had not been attired
in mems clothes and knowing they
were free from intrudng eyes the
girls were having a splendid time,
only
Somehow the lights behaved very
badly. They had a peculiar habit Of
turning off for brief intervals, at the
most inopportune times.
There would be the dreamy sway
of the waltz, broken by a horror of
darkness, the jolly swing OF the two
step, then a sudden interruption of
lightless night with dancers humping
into each other on every hand. or in
the pretty kicking of the barn dance
utter blackness and a sudden bruis-
ing of shins.
1t was Just awful!
But cruel fate had worse in store.
In the midst of waltz n dainty miss
saw a snaky shape descending from
the open skylight of the hall. She
screamed and the music was forgot
ten, while the misses in mems garb
gathered the bravery which they had
donned with the clothes and went "a
investigatin.'

ROckefellei-'s Difference.

Mr.. Rockefellers Ohio physician
predicts that the oil king will live
to see the century mark. He gives
these reasons:
First. he avoids all worry: second,
he takes plenty of exercise in the
open air; third, he never overloads
his stomach, and always gets up from
the table a little hungry. If men
would follow Mr.. Rockefeller's ply
sical methods we would alr be young
at 10"
But a good many Mr. Rockefeller
has met have not been able to follow
this course. He has made it impos-
sible for them to avoid all worry
And many who have sat down with
him at business meal have risen not
only hungry, but empty. Overlooking
their stomachs was impossible. Even
in the matter of longevity, Mr.. Rookie
feller is a sort of monopolist, making
it impossible, as it were, for others to
compete with him.-Washington

TITS a man up there" screamed
one girl who heard deep bass voices
on the roof.
"And it's -" called another, who
knew the voices better.
Then the skirted girls hurried to
the front. They did their former
champions behind the fluffy ruffles
of their apparel And one of the
girls did a clever thing. She tied the
rope so the boys could not get into
the hall with It..
Reluctantly they were forced to
keep apart from the revelers. And
sadly did the boys depart from the
roof via the Commercial association
rooms, from which, with a ladder,
they gained access to the party.
