LITTLE FOLKS PARTY.
They Had One Great Time as Guests
Of Mills Brothers.

Mother, know why the Mills
company is giving away these cups
and saucers-it is because they do not
want to wash them"
A little miss, not too big for dolls
but old enough to be getting her first
acquaintance with dish-washing, was
giving her views to her mother at the
Mills tea room Saturday.
Twelve hundred tickets were issued
By the Mills company to children I'M
der twelve years of age to bring their
dolls and have chocolate in the Mills
tea room Saturday afternoon. Every
ticket was used. Indeed, few more
than twelve hundred children came to
the tea room, received their chocolate,
we're presented with the cup and
saucer the chocolate was served in,
and then went down into "Toyland"
in the basement of the building.
In the tea room everything moved
off in ''apple-pie' order. The young
sters were admitted in squads Of 200

for each child had been told to bring
a doll. Some dolls were almost as big
as the little mistresses in charge of
them, while others were no more than
large enough to comply with the re-
Quirement that a doll be at hand. But
Notwithstanding the contrast in size
and beauty of the dolls, property
rights were observed by the children.

or may not be what the chancellor and
the administrators have called it. That
is beside the question. They did call
it that. And nobody at the university
is disposed to get into an argument
with the board of administration over
any subject, let alone the subject OF
whether a certain dance is good" or
not.
Therefore the second advent of Miss
Garvey and Miss Howe into Law
renee social circles is awaited with
pleasurable anticipation by some Of the
members of the club, and with just a
little uneasiness by others.
Just a word of explanations: The
club gets its name from the fact that
midnight is the hour the dances end
not the time they begin.

AN'TDOWN TANGO
Lawrence Club Members Vote
to Adopt Popular Dance.
Part of University Faculty
Said to Belong.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. Ito tango
or not to TANGO was the question that
agftated the Midnight Dancing club, an
exclusive organization of Lawrence so
ciety people at q recent meeting. The
question was discussed and there was
considerable fervency of feeling dis
played in the matter.
When the question finally was put
to vote. 1t was found that the club
by decided majority wished to tango.
To enable the members to find out
how 1t is done. Miss Hazel Howe and
Miss Margaret Garvey of Topeka will
be invited AZ the guests of the club
to the next meeting, which will be
held week from next Thursday night.
MISS Howe and Miss Garvey will give
an exhibition of the fancy dancing steps
which they learned in New York last
summer and II the steps strike the
fancy OF the club members the two
young women will be engaged to give
a series OF lessons
Miss Howe and Miss Garvey are not
str rangers in Lawrence. They visited
IN town some weeks ago and at that
time made arrangements for the or
ganization Of a tango club among the
fraternity p9npfe at the university.
Two newspa5sr correspondents spoiled
this club byxprintang a story about it
before the dfst meeting. Ohicial toes
at the university were stepped on by
the printing of the story and the rash
correspondents were suspended.
After the official kibosh had been
placed on the tango by the university.
the students decided that they didn't
want to have the club either. It
really didn't matter so much, for most
OF the prospective members of the
club knew how to tango anyway.
Later the two Topeka young women
organized a dancing class at Topeka
which attracted the leading families
OF the town into membership. The club
which they are about to form in Law
renee will be Of the same sort
The members of the club will be pri-
vate citizens and if they wish to learn
10 tango there is no one to say them
nay.
But there Is just the tiniest spice Of
adventure in the tango as taken up
by the Midnight Dancing club. The
ract Is, there are a number of univer-
slty faculty people who are members of
the club. May they tango where stud
ents may not?
1t Is understood that the question
has been given serious consideration
by the faculty members of the club.
The university has put the grave ban
OF Its displeasure upon the sport OF
tangoing. Both the chancellor and
the board OF administration call the
tango suggestive" and say the uni
versity will have none of it.
1t Is understood that the vote to
take. the tango lessons was slipped
over at the last meeting Of the Mid
night Dancing club despite the protest
of the faculty members. They do not
feel like going out of their way to do
something the university has officially
declared against. The tango dance may
