INVITATION AFFAIR OF
MOLu|ES ONE OF DELIGHT
Under Guise of Basket Ball Game
Audience Witness Unusual Calls
thentic Exhibition

An invitational affair of the Mol
lie Has Beens attracted select
gathering In the High School last
Wednesday evening the promised
feature of the occasion being a bas-
ket ball game.
| This designation was doubtless
polite fiction presumably in the be-
lief that that which we call rose
by any other name would smell as
sweet as by the known rules of
basket ball that which was served
for the delectation of the audience
on that evening was beyond peard-
venture something else. At the con
clusion of the evenings pleasure one
was reminded of one of the choicest
of Josh Billings lectures, the sub
ject of which was Milk" After an
hour or more during which the lee
turer kept his audience in paroxy-
isms of laughter and during which
no single reference was made to the
subject of milk Billings would con-
clude thus: Milk is a most delight
full and harmless beverage and fire.
quently is obtained from cows, and
with this the lecturer gracefully
bade adieu to his bewildered audi
ence.
In an endeavor to Danish the fog
that beclouded our mental vision in
the confusion of a title for the al
fair of last Wednesday evening the
eyer-present figures of a group of
maidens fair to look upon and in
graceful poses finally forced upon us
the belief that the occasion was in
reality an exhibition of the last word
in Coiffures.
Merely as aids TO their purposes
the Mollies. or as the High School
girls disdainfully referred to them,
the Townies, assembled the girls
basket ball team and the happenings
as a result of this daring ambition
will live long in the memory of those
present.
The clash of these fair ones dur
ing the first period of calisthenic
display was like unto that of knights
of old and such an interlocking of
forms made 1t impossible at times to
correctly associate the anatomical
parts with their rightful owner.
This first encounter disarranged
the head adornments of many, their
variety including the La Marguerite,
The Drury Lane and one proudly
borne by one of the most active of
the athletic group the trade name of
which is The Enchantress, emerged
looking as though it had been caught
in the fly wheel of Corliss engine.
Nothing daunted these courageous
lassies entered the arena once
more and during this period
once more and during this period
one of the startling incidents of the
evening occurred when the tennis

recovered from the shock of surprise
she Immediately commenced most
vigorous attack upon the offending
member to all appearance with the
intent of separating it from its SOC
ket.
The Intervention of the referee
who was momentarily petrified by
the sight checked the ambitious and
determined maid and with the admo-
milton from Prof. Nutten to be kind
ly affectioned one to another en-
braces restored their usual charm
ing manner.
And the delightful conclusion OF a
most delightful evening were the
cordial greetings from one to an
other of the group of young ladies'
who proved that courage is also the
heritage of the sex we love to term
gentle.
