are the questions that are asked about
the new coats and frocks for autumn,

OF summer velvet and felt hats make
their entrance into the world Of fash

fabrics makes the coolest-looking and
most sparkling millinery and comes In
its logical elegance. when women have

ACinu Wine.

A method OF "aging" raw wine by
electricity has been perfected by Prof.
Charles Henry OF the Sorbonne. Paris.
France, and Is being successfully used
In the Burgundy wine districts.
The process Is said TO impart to
liquors the same properties which they
acquire by being kept for a number of
yesr9 In cellars. The spirit or vine
Is placed In a special receptacle fitted
with two tubes which are charged with
high tension electricity at from c0OOO
10 10000 volts. The result Is that all
the bacteria. ferments and impurities
collect 10 the tubes and are removed
and all further fermentation Is
stopped. The process Is very rapid.
and the cost Is less than two cents per
hundred gallons Similar experiments
are now being made with beer and
essential oils. -

Vance waldren gave up good po-
sltion in New York city and hurried
TO Chicago, after receiving a letter
from a friend of his only living rela-
tive, Peter Bond, TO the effect that
the old man was slowly fading away
and longed for and needed friendly
attention.
1t was stated that Mr.. Bond might
live for year, but was In poor cir
cumstances and unable TO earn any
thing. That was what reused up the
true manhood in Vance. When he had
first started out In life Mr.. Bond had
for him while he got well on his feet.
Now that conditions seemed TO have
changed, Vance felt a sense of duty
that impelled him TO hasten to the sue
cor of his aged relative.
He was distressed when he arrived
at the home of his uncle. He found
him living alone on the main floor OF
q great rambling structure located on
an alley. 1t was fronted where a
street once had been, now occupied
by the elevated tracks of a steam road
and backed up to the high rear back
of a great factory. isolated and shut

The old man was well-nigh helpless
and he welcomed his nephew with
wan, but glad smile.

uncle" spoke Vance.

Bond. with a bitter tinge in his tones.

had it all rented. The railroad got

DROPPING OF MIDDLE NAMES
A Two-Ply Title Found TO Be More
Convenient Socially, Morally and
Financially.

This Is the day of the two-cylinder
name. which fact has been proved by
cognomen connoisscurs who have
looked over every name nj Harvard
and inspected the persons 10 whom the
names belong. They learned that
some extremely nice persons have no
middle names at NIL. and seem TO get
on rather well without them.
IL is assumed that the ever-grow-
ing trend toward efficiency IL 10 he
blamed for the dropping OF diversified
names. for II has long been understood
that n person with two-ply title need
not be especially embarrassed about II.

failing value OF middle names. There
are fifteen members this year. and but
five OF them are burdcncd with exces-

or course, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had no middle names,
but this evidence II considered as moth
ing at Harvard compared with the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt hasn't. That

"You grand fellow" cried the de-
lighted Mr.. Bond aud took a new
lease on life.
In fact, by the end OF two months
old Uncle Peter was able to get around
quite easily. One day Vance was
walking across the vacant space be-
tween the old building and the plant
fronting on the next street, when a
light object struck his head. knocked
off his hat and fell to the ground. He
picked up lady's handbag. Then he
looked up. Leaning slightly from the
open window of the office OF the
plant was beautiful young lady.
Its mine, II you please. and IL fell

smile.
You shall soon have t." replied
Vance and two minutes later he was
around at the front OF the plant and
up Its stairs. He found the owner OF
the handbag alone In q roomy Office.

planned, with Il pretty blush. "and
accidentally knocked the bag from the
window. Papa Is In tiresome consul

She thanked Vance prettily. He lin-
gered. Her bright ways attracted
him. He stepped aside as a man, the
father of Lorna Bell, ushered his le-
gal visitor from his private office.

LAST BASKET BALL GAME OF THE
SEASON

Monday afternoon, many specta-
tors witnessed the last game Of the
final series Of basket ball for this
year, played between the Normal
and Academy teams. The game was
very interesting and enjoyable TO all
who like real warm and lively
basket ball.
Both sides played with all their
might and each man seemed TO put
forth every ounce Of energy. as the
winning Of this game by the Normal
meant that they would receive the
pennant for Basket Ball Champion
ship Of 1916. AZ the end of the
hard fought contest the score stood
- e. 20 in favor of the Normal team.
The Normal line up was as follows:
Congleton and Trosper forwards;
McMahan, center and Hill and Rob
inson guards.
We admire the splendid courage Of
the Academy team and wish 10 con-
graduate them on their good, clean
and wholesome playing.

UTILE DULCE REVIEW

The girls Of the pi Epsilon pi Lit
crary Society spent a very pleasant
night last Saturday as the guests Of
the Title Dulce Literary Society.
The program was arranged as an
edition for a magazine, The Utile
Dulce Review. Miss Susan Porter
was editor of the general news col
umn aud informed the Society and
visitors Of the important and signifi-
cant events of the week. Some very
valuable beauty hints" were given
by Miss Helen futile. She men,
toned the necessity of good health
which could only be retained by
wearing proper shoes and clothing,
and taking proper exercise. The
merits Of buttermilk as freckle re-
mover and vaseline as a grower OF
eyebrows were especially empha-
sized Miss Mary Cocks edited Aunt
Tabitha's question box and gave val
liable information upon such inn
portant questions as How may I
fress three hairs becomingly9" Miss
Helen Dizney's article on The Dis
advantages Of Having Dates" re-
viewed the question thoroughly and
concisely. In summing up her
points, Miss Dizney showed that the
disadvantages compared with the
advantages of having dates were in
the ratio Of two TO one. Miss Jewell
Oyg's Editorials" were scholarly
treatises on such present-day prob
lens as why Some Larks Don't
Fly" OF course no magazine is COM
plete without advertisements and
Miss LYDIA Scott, herself a shining
example of its merit, spoke con-
of the value of ivory soap.
Miss Dorothy Young very creditably
a colored chef and
convinced her audience that Cream
Of Wheat is the only pure and
wholesome breakfast food.
After the program, refreshments
were served and social hour en-
joyed.
Such joint meetings " two rival
literary societies show that down
beneath the spirit OF wholesome
rivalry is the spirit OF genuine
and il is something the
college girls very highly appreciate.
