Were you ever in Japan or did some
more fortunate friend ever send you
gorgeous pictures of the japanese
chrysanthemums1 This flower is per-
haps the most beautiful and universal
ly admired importation from the orr
ent to the occident. Its fluffy globes
in delicate shades OF orchid, pink,
lavender, yellow and also red and
white are popular with every one.
One poor little girl, whom | knew,
saved carefully her spare pennies all
one fall so that before the chrysanthe-
NUNS were gone she could buy a
single posie for her very own.
Scarcely a luncheon or tea or din
ner party but has them nowadays.
Today Mrs. ]. M. Metcalf entertained
at prcttily appointed luncheon at
her home in honor of her sister, Mrs.
Ada Hertsche of Portland, Ore.
Dainty water colors from Venice, for
place cards and white carnations were
combined with beautiful white chrys-
anthemums in the decorations.
At Mrs. Hughes informal tea yes
terday for her guest, Miss Winifred
Hicks of Duluth, yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS formed the decorations.
As wedding flower the chrysan-
themum rivals the rose. Miss Lucille
Bacon set her wedding date in Oc-
tober because Il always wanted
wedding when could have hig white
chrysanthemums." Just as she had
wished, glorious white chrysanthe-
NUNS banked the altar and were tied
with tulle bows to the pews.
The marriage of Miss Adele Davis
Monday was performed in a setting
Of pink chrysanthemums and roses.
Pink chrysanthemums were used
through the rooms.
The story came from Minneapolis
the other day that five society brides,
all in a row, had set their wedding
dates in the brilliant month Of Octo-
Der in order that they might have

washing the prunes.
What is prune woman, Katie?
well, ma'am, first of all she's
wrinkled, inside and out. Now / say
that in these days a woman needn't
get much wrinkled. Not if she has
a good temper and decent pride that
makes her take care OF herself Mrs.
Smith that lives over on Summit ave-
niue is rs and she amt got no real
wrinkles. Only three creases at the
corner Of each eye and they come
from latin This woman may been
forty, but she's cross forty an cross
forty is older than /good natured

"She was settin' at the end Of the
car and anybody with half an eye
could see that inside OF herself she
was critisin everybody in that there

next to her. The girl had the purti-
est little feet all laced up in high gray
shoes. ! never seen anything purifier
or modester. Her skirt come down
nice and correct over the tops of the
shoes.
But the prune woman looked at
them shoes as though they was
poison. Then she looked at the girls
face as though she thought she was
something turrible. But the girl was
lookin out at the red autumn leaves
on the maple trees along the side Of
the road and never seen the dagger
look the prune woman gave her. If
looks could speak, the prune woman

a deep furrow between their eye

things. They're generally sour and
disagreeable and snappy.
"And as for bein' bad, you know
the look of the child that stays always
in a good woman's eyes? She had

woman. They didn't say nothin'
wrong, just raised their voices. But
she fidgeted around as though she
thought they would use bad language
any minute and she wished police
man would get aboard, and her
wrinkles got deeper and deeper,

afternoon at their called meeting. Mr..
Ball appeared before the faculty and
answered questions pertaining to hint
self, this he refused to do at a preyi-
GUS meeting, and this resulted in his
remaining suspended. The answers to
their questions were sufficient to prove
that Ball was the only one implicated
in the incident of April 13; and mas.
much as Ball agreed to make right any
damages to university property. the
faculty deemed it fit that he should
be reinstated in school and also again
assume the office of editor of the Col
legian.
When it was reported on the campus
late yesterday afternoon that Ball had
been reinstated, students everywhere
felt better about the matter, inasmuch
as they had previously signed a petit
