of last seasons games in various

plays on which a more direct ruling
was asked was whether safety or

impression he has made an error,

Mrs. Eustace Brown, down at X u,
has arranged to make herself dread
fully unpopular with some of the
goods because she has said that the
dances must close at midnight for the
reason that the streets of Lawrence

Sigma Chi fraternity gave a dancing
uarty a few evenings ago, and at the
close of the affair each girl was given
a tiny lantern with a bright light to
carry home with her. In addition to
this fling at Mrs. Brown, which must
have nearly crushed her. some bud

rs a woman, old enough to attend a
University, capable of choosing a man
companion with whom she is not
afraid in the dark? The dances are
attended by perfectly decent people
and the fact that three or four blocks
separate a woman from her home and
that she has to take this walk with a
man is no reason why some should
throw up their hands in horror
"A few years back, the closing hour
was 3 O'Clock; then a O'Clock ruling
came into effect, ana finally 1 o'clock
was deemed the proper time for call
