Two Irish Societies
Condemn Dublin PLAYERS,

THIS department has received a
communication from Mr.. Jor-
dan. press representative Of the
Dublin Abbey Players, to the effect
that two Irish societies in New York
have written to their homeland ex-
pressing indignation at the plays
which these players are playing.
They have condemned these as
examples of drunkenness" and other
wrongdoing. and have gone so far
as to say that both plays and play
ers should be whistled from the
boards Those who saw these plays
here will no doubt be as surprised at
this as we are. Maybe these societies
prefer THE Great Magoo."

THE TROJANS

The Trojans limitations Of new
members, Tuesday, night last, was
nothing short Of slaughter. When the
girls arrived at the meeting in the
costumes. We ordered them to wear,
they look 50 ban, until We really Eere
in doubt as TO whether we wanted
them or not Anyway, we scrubbed
their faces with the good ole P. and
G. soap to be sure they were clean
enough to become Trojans.
Armed with regular household
weapons the girls had to give the
large room and the bathroom q gen
eral cleaning. Dorothy Pollard
proved to be the toughest bottle baby
we had, because she insisted on Bit
ing a hole in the nipple in order to
drink her water more quickly. l
won't mention the condition Of the
girIs noses, not to say any thing Of
their dignities when they got through
pushing pieces Of stale cheese twice
across the floor Their noses were
the pushsrs of ~course-) Alamita
Stokes almost wrecked the bathroom,
when Maxine Owen and Mamie
Jackson tried to wash her face, and
after the cheese pushing, her face
really didn't need it.
Henrietta Gibson was an easy VIC
tim until she saw the hot iron with
which she was to be branded, and
when an innocent little ice cribe was
applied to her back, she screamed
bloody murder because she knew she
had been scared
that all the girls enjoyed was the
refreshments, which were a delicacy
Of Miss TayIor's creation, Chocolate
Colored Onions, c'mon up n try one
sometime The tragieal part of that
was that Esther Harris tried to bite
Ella Mae Mills finger off. as Ella
put the Chocolate" in Esther's
mouth. -- 81
All in all, the new girls were as
meek as little lambs, being driven to
their fate. C-onfidentially, I've heard
that Connie Mullen intends to
change to P. and G. soap She says
the effect is so invigorating- I think
they viii run from a paddle too, the
next time they see one, and Miss
Taylor didn't know little paddles
could hurt so until Dorothy P. taught
her. Believe it or not, but when it all
was over, Miss Taylor was more
tired than all the others put to-
gether.
Now 50 long until next time.
