"OVER 'fHE TEA-CUPS." Well, we had such a good time to.1!ethPr this evenmg that it just seemed too bad that others couldn't enjoy our good times, too, and that's why we are writing. Th0 "we" ·in question :s the so– called club which mee s more re.f"'" 1 ::trlv n 1 ·ob::ihlv than :mv othm· unit of the college associations. (The food instinct 1s likely the cause). But the thoue;ht came to our minds that perhaps 0'.. h"rs might enjoy hearing about our ;:?;ood times even if they could~t- en-· .ioY tl em.

The rest have scattered; and only "Adams County," represented by a little person, who is "ruddy and of a. fair countenance and beautiful to look upon," is left to relate the glories of that illustrious o-ather– ing which more than filled the dininir tables.

Mr. McClure thought .she had "b-e-a-u" on the brain . when she insisted that "McGuffey's best" spelled it "b-e-a-u-r-e-a-u." The first few weeks of last fall saw :'.\'fr.

Our next addition was Miss Gardiner, who was a notably en– .ioyable one, too, since she deli~hted us Friday evenin!{s after sup~ per by he:i; clever recitations about the Dutchman's hen and bad boys' pranks. . At the close of the first semester Mr. Cl:uk left us for other lands, and we ce1·tainly missed his rare wit and clever retorts. Later in the vear Mr. McClure, who c:ame to take his place. has kept us supplied with splendid excuses for lau~~ter, some ?f them oriq;inal and unintentional, and others, rare spee1mens of wit that he treas– ures up to make our breakfast conversations i:nore sprightly.
