Society
By Catherine Spall
Informal bridge parties are a very
popular pastime in the various houses
on the campus among their own mem
bers most particularly, and the fascin
ating game of Mah-Jongg, one of the
most popular forms of entertainment
among the smart set in Portland at
the present time, was recently intro
duced into Eugene and will probably
become as approved and familiar here
also. Two teas, a number of formal
and informal dances, parties, and infor
mal entertainment, made up the social
calendar for the past week-end.
The Delta Tau Delta costume ball
was a colorful and picturesque affair
of Saturday evening at Ye Campa
Shoppe. Prom a false ceiling of a
neutral shade hung brightly colored
serpentine and numbers of gay balloons,
the dashing carnival motif was further
carried out in the panels of black
around the walls on which were painted
Chinese characters, Hindu heads, gay
girls in gayer costumes, and other car
nival figures. Palms and cut flowers
were also effectively used in the decor
ations.
The programs were of parchment,
fashioned on the style of an old Eng
lish manuscript which unrolled. The
colors were of gold and black, and the
work on them was entirely of hand.
Partners for the feature dance were
found by the favors which the Laraway
twins, dressed in clever costumes, pass
ed out, attached to which were cards
giving the men’s names. Much confetti
was thrown about to further enliven
the scene. The lovely favors were of
parchment drawn over a black frame
and ujion a black background with fig
ures on them.
Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Spencer were
the patron and patroness for the event.
An old-fashioned garden with old
fashioned flowers and lattice work con
verted the gym of the Woman’s build
ing into one of the most charming
scenes ever held there, when Sigma Nu
entertained with their formal dance
Saturday evening. An old well stood
in the garden and the trees with their
cedar boughs gave a very realistic ef
fect. Very clever was the colonial
house whose doors, leading from the
garden, namely the main dancing room,
to the sun parlor which was a replica
of the interior of the house, with daven
ports, potted plants and flowers, with
its lights whoso shades were of a black
latticed effect on a blue background.
For the feature dance a mail man
distributed to each women a Valentine
which contained tho favors, picture
frames with the fratornity’s crest en
graved upon them, to which was at
tached a card bearing the name of tho
man with whom the feature was to bo
danced. A number of Sigma Nus from
O. A. C. were guests at the dance and
Dr. and Mrs. Seth Kerren, and Mr. and
Mrs. Dean Walker were alumni present.
Patrons and patronesses included Pro
fessor and Mrs. E. E. DeCou, Dean and
Mrs. Colin V. Dyment, Miss Madeline
McManus, and Mr. Hon Horning.

education business to Mr. Chapman,
seems to be that such places as Forest
Grove and Beed were all right until
football came in, but now Forest Grove
has “an enviable football record”; and
Beed College “wanted an obsequious
imitation of the commonplace football
colleges in the east,” and got it.
Oregon Politics Crabbed
Oregon politics is another thing Mr.
Chapman crabs. He resents the fact ;
that all people are afraid of innovations I
and some of Oregon’s innovators failed
to make a success of their projects.
This is a fact worthy of resentment, as J
several writers have already said.
The Bose Festival, the Bound-Up, and
Oregon litrature, also go't their share
of crabbing. These things bother Mr. !
Charles II. Chapman very much. He j
could probably think of lots more things
that are the matter with Oregon and
with the world in general, if he really
put his mind to it One might mention
in passing that he has a certain am
ount of the eternal truth on his side,
only it’s no more than a part of the
truth. Not very useful.
For instance, five paragraphs—about
950 words—are devoted to Chapman’s
views on education in the state of
Oregon. (It will be remembered that
the author is head of the I. W. W. ed
ucational bureau.) And yet he neglects
to mention either an institution at Eu
gene or another institution at Corvallis
—for the Wesleyan Methodist school at
Corvallis of which he spoke is not the
one for which Corvallis is generally
known as an educational center.
University Not Mentioned
It is not a spirit of pique that leads
one to refer to this important omission
of Mr. Chapman’s. The true inwardness
of his omission is the important part.
There is something rather catty about
it. For reasons best known ot himself,
Mr. Chapman has made no mention of
that state University where his term
of office—expired—in 1900. And since
he did hot mention the University, he
undoubtedly felt that it would prevent
jealousy if he also forebore to speak
of the state college.
Criticism, Mr. Chapman, is excellent
and valuable if it does not descend to
the embittered stage of mere crabbing.
A crab-fest doesn’t get you anywhere,
and it doesn’t even relieve the crab
ber’s mind, which would be something.

ter time hie will cried oat the command
and no .response came. A great rage
enveloped him, then melancholia, and
he cried with great, suffering, gusty
sobs.
The night grew biacker and colder;
the chill bit into him. The leg ached
in a continuous pattern. And still
it grew colder. From some remote part
of his brain came the clear and swift
review of the events of the chase. In
the morning they would find him. Back
to the penitentiary and scaffold. He
could not help himself. His boast to
the farmer rang false then: the sheriff
would get him.
The rustling of the grain struck at
him, and a great, stark terror invaded
ids heart. The sky pressed down and
the watchers crept closer about. They'd
get him und he’d dangle fi^i the end
of a hempen rope. A cold, «>ld loneli
ness gripped him and the sky, infinitely
far off, grew blacker.
Th« lawless, flaming spirit of the
man blazed up. Harried, wounded, and
hemmed in, the last spurt of his own
free will flickered high and brilliant.
Damned be the law! Harry Tracy would
swing from no scaffold. And the ruth
less spirit of the man faced the end
harshly and grimly.
In the darkest hour of the night he
drew the gun to him. The shot echoed
above the rustle of the wheat. Every
member of the posse heard it—a stark,
bitter challenge to them. A sort of
shudder moved more than one of them,
and they drew the line closer about to
be the nearer together.
With the first of day they sought and
found him. The sheriff, coming up, drew
off his hat and rubbed the sweat from
his bald head. “Well,” said he to the
inert figure in , the crimson stained

About Learning
to Dance
You might pick up dancing,
and you might pick up
arithmetic—both are pos
sible, but improbable. We
don’t entrust a valuable
watch to an unskilled me
chanic. Then why waste
time and money with any
one who knows little if any
thing of the dance when
with one-tenth of the time
you can make your dancing
an accomplishment. We can
give to your dancing that
touch, ease and grace that
makes dancing a pleasure.
