the water rose so rapidly that it

WESLEYAN COED
 BOYCOTT OFF
SENIOR BOYS ASK GIRLS TO JOIN THEIR CLASS DAY FOR
 CLOSING EVENT.


 Middletown, Conn.,, May 1S-The of ficial boycott on the coeds at Wesley an. started twenty years ago, was raised yesterday, by the men of the senior class, who voted to ask the women students to join with them in their class day exercises at commence ment. The girls have taken no action on the matter as yet, but it is ex- pected that they will accept the invi- tation.
 .Coeducation was started at Wesley. an in 1876 and for the first fifteen years there was no friction Later the men began to rebel against the continuance of the system and adopt ed the boycott as the best means of voicing their disapproval. The result was that three years ago the trus- tees voted to abolish coeducation in 1912, consequently the young women who are to be graduated from Wes- leyan in June will be the last to re- ceive "a degree from the Methodist in. stitution.
 The boycott of the young women has always been faithfully carried out by the male students. So strong was the sentiment upholding it that a few years ago when a Senior dared to break the precedent a mass meeting was called which adopted a resolu- tion severely censuring his action. As this is the last year of co-education the Seniors thought it we'll to raise the ban and extend the olive branch to the girls.

ing this for me-" said Kettle, picking up the other ninety-five and counting it. Do you know you gave thai steward five dollars?"
 Rivers reached over and calmly tooh the roll out of Kettles hand; then counting off fifty dollars, he handed the remainder back to his old college friend.
 Here's your forty five. Kettle he explained. Thanks very much for the fifty, old chap. See you later! So good of you, old chap-'baby doll! " he muttered, kissing the money ana taking to his heels down the deck.
 Kettle stood stricken dumb with as tonishment and began to wonder what Georgiina would do to Rivers If She were only there to help him.
 Chapter W.
 Elsie Darling's bitter little remarks concerning the cheeky Rivers aroused Kettle to some measure of self f-de- fense. It was true he had known Riv- CTS in college. but he had studlously avoided. him there. He was much too gay to suit Kettles retiring taste. As a matter of fact Rivers had been her own husbands bosom friend on the campus, if she wanted to know the real truth. On seeing Elsie's En- feigned alarm he added. however, that Darling probably trotted around with him to try to reform him.
 Kettle was growing hungry himself by this time and he fully agreed with Elsie that they had better face the publicity of the dining-room at once, however much courage 1t cost. They were about to venture when Mrs. Cleveland suddenly confronted them. grasping Kettle eagerly by the hand. She was an intimate friend of his famous mother and she had been looking all over the place for him. Then she turned gushing1y to Elsie. she was also a very dear friend of h;s mother-in-law, the famous Mrs. Tim ble.
 ''I am so delighted that you are an adherent of our cause! she cried en- Enthusiastically hugging Elsie. Cause % Elsie echoed, supplied with amazement.
 Now, Mrs Kettle, I have some friends on board Ie.want very much to have you meet-Miss Patchen and her niece, l shall run right over and get, them; they are talking GO such a delightful man-Mr. Rivers!"
 "He just told me in the most cold blooded manner that he was going to marry Miss Powers for her. money!" Elsie cried with heroic candOr. Tt seems that he has had a scarlet past in which my husband has had some share"
 MT. Kettle, you mean?" Mrs. Cleveland calculated with no lirrle surprise. Elsie looked at the scowI-. ing Kettle and Mrs. Cleveland tact fully hurried away to find her friends.
 That's the time you nearly put your foot into it!' he growled resent fully.
 Mrs. Cleveland said something about belonging to the cause. What did she mean?' she asked, ignoring his confusion.
 "The suffragette cause" he snapped as if she ought to know. "As they think you are my wife and I married suffragette, they naturally expect you to know all about it." he added irritably.
 .'Oh I'll never stay here.' she cried. .I.ets go and 'hide!"
 That would never do.' Kettle said rebukingly. He had scarcely time Co admonish her to buck up and face the music like a woman of stamina, when Mrs. Cleveland and her friends came rushing around the deck pounc- ing op the frightened Elsie with com bined enthusiasm over ther prowess

MASONIC CHOIR
 GREAT ATTRACTION
PLANNING TO GIVE THIS CITY A
 DIVERSIFIED PROGRAM.

Maily of our music lovers have heard Caruso or Tetra zzini who are undoubtedly the greatest soloists of modern times but none except mem- bers of the Masonic Fraternity have had the opportunity to hear the famous Masonic choir of Waterbury, said to be the greatest aggregat tion of trained male voices in America which comes to the Park theatre next Wednesday night under the auspices of the Order of the Eastern Star. The program which will be rendered here will be diversified, including grand opera numbers, popular classics, and time honOred ballad successes, as we'll as numbers that will appeal to those of lighter musical taste.
 Already there is large, sale of tic kets and the outlook is that the au- dience will be one of the most rep resentative of the city that has visit ed the playhouse for years. Direc- tor Isaac Beecher Clark who has de- voted many years to the work of perfecting the choir has assured the local masons that the concert to be sung here willr be the crowning pro- gram in the history of the organiza- tion.
 Assisting the choir will be Miss Lil- liam Eubank. the celebrated mezzo- soprano of New York city; Carl L.. Schick, baritOne and Count Henri Alex De Pawloff. the talented Polish Siolinist. It is suggested that if any

 on the rostrum and elsewhere. The predicament was frightful and there was only one thing Kettle could do. He seized Elsie suddenly by the arm and with a hurried word of apology to the astonished group, dragged her into the dining-room.
 Oh. Oh! How did you happen to think of it?" Elsie murmured grate- fully after the rescue. .'You will get me back to Percy as soon as you can, won't. you?" she begged, again on the verge of tears.
 i Don't worry. I will'' he promised as the steward came up to take their order.
 Let's order lot.'' she giggled, now pacified To Kettles consterna- tion she went very nearly through the entire bill of fare. He wondere d how so delicate and so dependent a little person could get away with quite so much. sosHtt
