vwinn to the room of being too small for
the number df guests, the hall was hast
ily furnished, though Miss Hutchinson,
Mrs. Cooper and Miss Jones were very
busy with preparations at the Jast
moment, Miss O'Here was entirely un
aware of the proceedings.
Miss Irene CambelL and Gertrude
Brewer furnished . some fine music
for the evening and after a short
social gathering, dainty refreshments of
icecream, wafers and shortaake were
served, and as it was already a late hour
the guests retired.
Then the hall urchin's fun began, the.
furniture had to be returned, the dishes
washed, and worst of all, upwards of a
gallon of icecream had to be disposed of,
and only four to eat it. Sdme"hazing"cer
tainly had to be done, and it was not
until after midnight before all was quiet,
when a guest is forced to eat more
than three dishes of icecream, Miss
Jones calls it "hazing." '
