The outlook for social gayeties is
"powful dark and skanoojus," as the
| colOred gentleman would say, and the
| few parties that are planned are care
! fully guarded from publicity for va
riOuS reasons. A few of the card clubs
will continue to meet during Lent and
the music and study clubs go on with
their work as usual. The college peo-
PIE out at Washburn will give the US
ual number of parties, including the
annual spring party of the Phi Delta
Theta fraternity, the party this after
noon at the Kappa Sigma house, and
an anniversary stag dinner that the
Phi Deltas are planning. There are
two replies to the question, Whats
doing?" and one is mot a scrap of an
invitation, and I'm glad of it, or 'I
am giving a little party, but PLEASE
don't put it in the paper; the party
is so small, and I am indebted to so
many, doncher know, it will get me
into trouble with my friends, ETC."
And wishing to be obliging, we sur
press some of the news at this sea-
son and look to the young engaged
people to supply the deficiency, for it
isn't wrong to be engaged even in
Lent.
