Kansas language. They have no
name for the gilded youths who drink
sodas after 10 o'clock Saturday night,

Chicago, they can refer to this class
of their friends as Loop Hounds
In st. Louis they call them kings
Highwaymen:" in New York. they
are broadway Bugs" but To

ton is made that they be called Com
fort Station Shoppers" But no, the

do away with the after dinner talk,
which is so large a part of the spring
banquet of the fraternity.
