SPIRITS MAGIC
MAKES OFFICER MARVEL
What Charm" He Asks, Can Turn
Bunch of Grandfathers Into
Boys Once More

The dulcet strains of famous oa'-
lad floated through the upper windo"s
of the University Club last night as
representative of The Star, with I'M
willing steps. left the building ana
turned south. The ballad was part OF
the "get-together" party of the menu
bers of the University Club. And pro-
ceeding in that direction. The Star man
CHANGED upon an officer of the law
looming large in the night. And with
him he held conversation this wise:
Said the o. Q. T. L., with a sign
which would have done credit to
more poetic figure on a balmier night:
Some party, brother" And the r. O.
T. s.. echoing sigh and sentiment, &C
quiesced with Some party"
'!Some Place, Brother"
Silence for a moment And then:
That's some place over there,
brother" said the o. o. T. l.. Some
magic place. Why. l was standing out
here couple of hours ago when the
bunch went in. They was as dignified
as grand jury-when they went in.
And now listen to them
From the clubhouse drifted harmony.
Listen to 'em?' he went on. Amt
it grand? l swear 1 didn't think they
had it in EN-. Put me wise, brother
What's the charm thatll turn a
bunch of grandfathers into college boys
again."
But the r. o. T. S. shook his head and
the two together stared into the night
But the answer was not there.
Solos. songs and ''roasts. not toasts."
were the unique features of the even
lng,s entertainment, Of which F. r.
Weller was chairman and George H.
Oconnor chairmaster.
