The youug people of Monmouth
to a cansiderable extent, busied
themselves, Saturday evening
just about dusk, in the May-Day
basket custom. There would be
a knock on the door and when
the call was answered there

found, but the doner had disap

necessary to most human beings,
not only to preserve health, but
to preserve integrity. Rural

from 7:30 to 10:30. This party
marked her thirteenth birthday

many beautiful gifts. Special
arrangements had been made to
have ice cream served and every
thing seemed favorable until
about ten o'clolk when Mrs.
Strong went to the poarch for it
but nothing was to be seen of it.
A few guests who were sitting
in the window happened to be
gazing out when they caught
sight of a number of little rascals
carrying it off.
The party continued in the
hopes that the ice cream would
come back during which time the
guests were amused by vocal and
instrumental music furnished by
Mable Johnson and Doris Herren.
The friends being present were
Sumner Ostrom, Lucien Arant,
Elva Lucas, Lucile and Hazel
Tucker, Doris Herren, Mabel
Johnson, Cordon and Charles
Bowman, Marie Morlan, Ruth

The Concert
Prof, and Mrs. Chapman gave
an excellent program before a
delighted audience in the Chapel
last Friday evening. Although
the audience was not large it
was very appreciative and soon
discovered that it. was getting
something quite uncommon for
Monmouth. Mrs. Chapman's
beautiful mezzo-soprano voice
with its rich quality and marvel
ous' volume, has delighted thous
ands on both continents and
while in the West she is not
averse to occasional visits to
smaller places.
Prof. Chapman played a violin
made some two and a half cent
uries ago and which is valued at
several thousand dollars. His
mastery of the instument is most
convincing.
Many encores were granted
during the evening. x
