HoBBLE SKIRT CAUSES TROUBLE.
One YouDg Lady So Cosiumed Got
Bad Fall at Academy Skating
Party Last Night.

That the hobble skirt IS not the prop
er attire for women to skate in, on
rollers, or otherwise, was amply
demonstrated on the floor of the armory
building at the Naval Academy last
night.
One young lady. wearing a cloth
skirt of that design, went down on the
flo9r and almost took the count, so
violent was the contact with the hard
wood blocks. and it is reported that she
is today suffering with bad head
ache. But this was not the only one
of the fair sex, nor of the masculine.
who got bad falls. On the contrary
there were many who made their first
attempt on the easy moving rollers,
and falls were frequent. There was
but one accident of any CONSCIENCE,
however. This was in the case of Miss
Anita Cresap. of this city, who sus-
tanned a confused wound on the head as
the result Of a bad fall.
All Of this happened at the opening
skating party arranged by Naval
Academy residents, to furnish some
pleasureabie diversion during the Len
ten season. There was a large atten-
dance, and in spite of the discomfort
resulting from the many falls, the
katers had an evening of real pleas
ure.

OBITUARY.
The B. 7. P. US Tribute to Miss
Jennie Bansum.

BY the death of Miss Bausum we
lose our greatest influence and Jealous
inspiration. Altho her Office in the
Society was that Of treasurer, she led
in every advance that the Society
has made. 1t was thru her influence
ard Christian spirit that the Society
was first organized Her influence
was felt in every branch Of the
church, and its work.
We are forced to realize that it
was thru her very strenuous actIvi-
ties during the preparation and con-
summation Of the holiday festivities
coupled with her noble and paiastak-
ing home work, that caused her physi-
cal breakdown. She had noble ideals
and enthusiastic plans for the ad-
vancement Of Christian work. She so
completely forgot herself il these
aspirations that she has sacrificed her
life for the cause.
We, as Society, and her numer-
Gus admirers, take upon ourselves
the beautiful and noble task of show
ing our admiration and esteem for her
by pushing forward the work that
has consumed her short life.
May God add His blessings TO our
efforts, that we may add glory and
honor to the sufferings of Jesus, who
was the Great Sacrifice. We extend
our heartfelt sympathies to her sur
yiving relatives. B. Y. P. u.

CUPID ON THE WIRE AGAIN
Anolher ''HeIIo GhP' GeIs Marliel.

Since the establishment of the C.
& P. Tele phone Exchange in 'Annapo-

/ ages. From time to time the Hello
Girls" have been lured away from the
Exchange to be mistress of the heart
and home of some young man, either
local (short distance) or "long dis
tance, foreign.
Cupid has lowered on the wires of
the G & P.Telephone Exchange here,
and one by one the young ladies have
gole from the switchboard to the al
tar. The latest of Cupid's victims is
Miss Ida Hyde, the young lady who
won the greatest number of votes in
the voting contest Christmas at Ben
esch's and won the beautiful desk aud
also had the honor of drawing for
the piano given away by the firm.
Miss Fyde's wedding was solemnized
last night.
Another local firm which is, SEEM
ingly, running a race with the Tele-
phone Exchange in the marriage bu-
reau business, is the firm of Isaac
B snesch & Sons. Here one lady
clerk after another become a bride,
and is sought for in marriage. Of
late another local firm is, apparently,
ia the race, and one of its lady clerks,
or cashiers, was married in the au-
tumn. another left about Christmas
time to get ready to be married, and
her sIccessor is reported to be 'en-
gagged
