secret has leaked out. A dance of the
cupids, a graceful terpsichorean effort
to do homage to the god of love, will
be feature of the Y. w. G. A. open
house next Friday night when the new
fall term will be opened. IT'S further
rumored-come closer now-that the
effort is being; made to placate the
youngster with the bow and arrow
who may have heard the silly ru-
mors that he can longer hang his hat
at the Y and get away with 1t. The
dance will be performed in costume by
Miss Ards Woolverton, member OF
one of the girls clubs.
The solo dance will be but an incl
dent in the program for the evening.

during the next year. Arrangements
are being made for a record atten-
dance at the supper and reservations
must be made by next Wednesday,.
