STEG Err ROBINSON

At the farewell senior dinner in
the College Dining Hall, Trustee
Rogers announced that he had no
ticed "pervasive influence" in the
graduating class.
So far as we know the first to
yield to its slow but fatal" influ-
ence were Carter Il. Robinson and
Marie Steger. These two young
people were married on the evening
Of July lth at the home Of the bride
in Fred0nia, N. Y.
There were about thirty-five
friends and relatives present and the
occasion was n very delightful one.
Mr.. Thomas Pentecost OF Dunkirk,
N. ", was best man and Miss Emma
Steger, sister to the bride, was maid
Of honor. The Rev. w. T.. Benton,
Rector OF the Episcopal Church in
Predonia. performed the ceremony.
The decorations were very artis-
tically executed. The brides table
was encircled with asparagus ferns,
in the center OF which was a large
bouquet OF Bermuda lilies.
The same evening the young peo-
pie left for Chautauqua. N. V, where
they will remain two weeks; thence
they will go back to Fredonia for
a while and from there to Detroit
where Mr.. Robinson will be en-
ployed in the Educational Depart

Women In England Who Play One
Game Must Play the Other.

The ordinary American girl,
especially of the class that marries
into the English aristocracy, has
been brought up to look upon poll
tics as a vulgar, incomprehensible,
masculine concern, with which she
need only trouble herself when she
happens to be visiting in Washing
ton. But in England politics and
society are ineItricable. Practical
ly all the leaders of the great world
are either themselves prominent in
the house of commons or the house
Of lords or are intimately related to
the men who are. Their wives and
daughters are thus committed from
the beginning to personal inter
est in the topics and intrigues of
the day. However high their po-
sition in society, it is not and never
can be so high as to remove them
above the sphere of politics. Their
male belongings are sure to be play
ers in the game, and they them
selves are sure to be something
more than spectators.
Practically all Englishwomen of
title are born into politics, hear
politics discussed at their dinner
table intermittently and meet day
by day the men to whom politics
is life. The tradition of playing .
part in the government of their
country runs through all that is
best in English society, and a wo-
man who is born or has married
into it and has the intelligence to
realize its possibilities soon finds
herself in possession of q hobby
infinitely more engrossing than any
ordinary social diversion.

known as political hostess; to fol-
