, Tno late for last week )
Last Friday morning at G-10
o'clock George and I started on
our trip 'o ' Hartford , Conn. The
weather was cool and pleasant
and all nature looked refreshed
afur its midnight bath. We
ihntouglily enjoyed looking al
ttc ! counlry , with its extensive
trnclsol Woodland , its fields of
waving grain , its neat and
thrifty looking farm houses and
in.mense bank barns , its small ,
Jjzi'y ' flowing streams and turbii-
knt river ? ; the beautiful exten
sive grounds surrounding Ihc
homes or suburban residences of
the rich , through villages , towns
and ciliep , a lo "Ihe city of
brotherly love. " Philadelphia ,
where we had sufficient time to
change cars for New York. We
were obliged to walk so far from
train to train , I said let us lake
ibis coach , next to the last , so 1
Ud the way and was just ready
do sit down \ \ lcia gentleman
/'in IW seal just back of me said ,
"beg pardon madame , but this
j ? the smoker , " I exclaimed , oh ,
and without even a thank you ,
nibbed into the forward coach ,
when George said he thought
the other one was a smoker.
Why it was so prettily uphol
stered , in green r.ti'd looked so
nice and" coiilfoitable , Tt' was
Ifard for me to believe it was for
"i-e oclusivc use of smokers.
Trains run every hour between
ihtsc two cities , yet our train
v.as almost uncomfortably
i rowdcd. 1 cannot say I was
now , or ever have been much im-
jrcst > ed with Ihc comili' } ' here ,
ind I am Gure it is owing lo so
many , lo me uns'glitly , bill
bn.-mls that have a way of coin
ing into view every few miu-
uUf , until I am neatly distracl-
td by the continued sight of
lluin. We arrived in Jersey
rity on time and look the 23itl
(
St. Ferry to New York , a 23rd
Si. car to 4th Ave. ; a transfer
norlh to the Grand Central sta
tion , where after a little looking
around we found Irene , who
had been patiently awaiting our
ariival since nine o'clock , or for
* three hours. We had our luu-
' ) t hcon the very first thing , then
a shoe shine all around. I felt
quite as important as an ) ' man ,
perched on that 'high chair ,
while the boy in charge applied
a mixture of some kind and rub
bed and polished and afler a
third application different from
the rest , a final rub and polish
with a brush until they shone
like twin mirrors. We then left
Cjeorge in charge of our suit
cases while we , Irene and I , look
a car for Wannamakcr's where
we made a few necessary pur
chases , including a dainty little
sti.miicr gown for Irene , for
three dollars less than the same
thing brings here.
At four o'clock we left for
ttiis city , the fourteen coaches
drawn by two electric engines
vcrc filled with passengers.
New Haven is the terminal of
UH : third rail , so a steam engine
k the place of the electric en
gines and we noticed the differ-
'euce ' in the dust and smoke of
"the latter.
At 6:30 : , as our train rolled
"into the station here we saw
Luucks glancingup and down
the train trying- gel a glimpse
of us andhe was about to give
the search up in despair , when
we appeared on the scene
We walked three blocks to
this large , beautiful h-me , now
a privnie boarding house , where
we have rooms on the second
floor front , bedroom and silling
room , called the "rose" rooms
rom Hie paper that adorns the
walls. The boys remained for
linner and part of the evening.
We did not go to the fourlh
senior assembly , as Ivoucks had
njurcd his knee at the last ball
game and was una'blc to dance.
Saturday we spent sight see-
ng and doing the stores. In
the evening at 8:30 : we went out
to Trimly college to hear Mv-
thania , a musical comedy in two
acts , given by the senior class in
Alumni hall , Book Lyrics and
Uubic by Trinity student.
Sccncb---Acl I , The college cam
pus , Jtint 1 , 1919 ; Act 2 , Deck
of the air ship , "Skylark , "
twenty-four hours later. The
irst act hinged on the financial
condition of some of the the sin-
lents lhat ha-l reached z ro.
One of the seniors , in a burst of
confidence , assured me it was too
realistic to be funny and 1 have
since learned lhat 110 less than
eighty dollars stands between
liim and his degree , which I sin
cerely trust he will be able to
cancel in some way. A women's
rights wnman , a shrewd multi
millionaire * , his daughter who
craves a litlc , and son who is a
senior and a French Count , fig
ure in- the play. 'I he second
scene , the deck of an airship
owned by the millionaire , was
decidedly novel. A long- cigar
shaped.thing , bound will ! cords
that supported the deck was sur
rounded by sea and sky and
floating the stars and stripes in
a slid brcczo and with the en
tire cast on board. We also
heard tha approach of another
ship and the conversation that
ensued ; saw a rope thrown out
aiid caught by a imri who was
swung to the other ship. This
scene was intensely interesting
and exceedingly funny. There
were eight musical numbers one
called , "If I CouldbeaBillikcn , "
Billiken is the other name of that
booby priae I won. "That's
Hartford , " received rounds of
applause as did all the numbers.
Over and over again they were
obliged to respond to encores.
I he local hits were so well
chosen that the audience fairly
went wild over them. Colt's ,
orchestra furnished the music.
The musical numbers were
sung with much vim and enthu
siasm. 1 he make-up 0f the men
who look the part of the daugh
ter and suffragist were fine ,
only the deep base voices gave
the parts away. The French
Count was also exceptionally
well taken. Immediately fol-
owing the closing number ,
"Back to Earth , " sung by the
entire cast , the hall was cleared
and dancing began and lasted
until almost midnight. Many
of the ladies and gentlemen were
in evening dress. The men
with but few exceptions held
their partners at arms length ,
two-step alternated with wait/ - -
and all danced to such quick
time it made me almost duxy to
watcn them skipping about in a
mad rush to get through. Then ,
as soon aa the music ceaeed ,
such a clapping of bauds until
the band began to play and they
tried it all over again , It was
after midnight when we reached
our hotel.
Dr , Luther , president of the
college , delivered the baccalau
reate sermon Sunday evening iu
( Continued to page eight. )
All I.ail , tiiou grand and gient ancestrjcs of thy glorious brood . of hair a
hundred hallowed states ;
Uxtendinu thy expansive form across o continent's
wide fields ;
One wing deep dipping In Atlantic's brine , the other
oYr Pacific's bosom r.piro d ;
Low traifliHi thy tall-feathers In the frozen ocean of
the i crth
And heaving thy ptilsr.ting forcdmt above the torrid wa
ters of fair Mexico's brood Qiilf ;
Within thy talons bearing , for the friend , the olive-
branch of peace
And weapons of destruction for the foe that would as
sail the smallest of thy progeny !
Well Holdest thou thy haughty head aloft within the
otarry oky -
For though but young , thou art a gla.it grown , of consclotio might , acknowl
edging few peers.
May'st thou forever tranquil dwell , In harmony with all thlro own ,
And unmolested by the powers of cartti rcspcclcd by the strong and
honored by the weak :
And may'st thou never know defeat , nor learn to bow thy head In shame.

DIERKS BLOCK .
IS THREATENED
Fire Started In Uascnicnt of Kycrson
Hros. ' Store.
Loss Covered By Insurance
Damage to Stock of ( iootls by I'irc and
SinoKc estimated at S5000 , and
Iliiililinjr Damaged About $150.
Fire started Monday in the
basement of the Rycrson Bros ,
store in the Dierks Block on the
south side of the. square. 1 he
origin of Ihc fire is unknown.
One of the clerks discovered it
burning a banna crate about 4
p. m. The lire alarm was put
in and the tire department was
on hand and throwing water into
the basement of the building
before the lire got a good start.
It was extinguished in the base
ment in a short time and it was
found to be burning in the shirt
department near the desk iu Ihe
middle of the room up stairs.
This had nol gained much head
way and was put out in short
order.
The damage to the building
through the lloor is estimated at
$150. Some of the shirts and
misccllanous paper in the
cabinet of the cashiers desk were
iiurncd. Fortunately all of the
valuable papers and money were
taken out and the gasoline lank
removed after the fire started.
The damage lo the stock of
goods was due mostly to the
dense smoke which filled the
room. The store has boon closed
since the lirrt for invoicing in
order to settle the damage with
Ihe 'insurance adjuster's which
arc ex peeled this week. The
damage to the stock is estimated
'o ' be about $5000.00.
The small amount of damage
done to the building is due very
largely to the fact that the lire
made slow progress in Ihe damp
cellar and was discovered before
it had been burning long.
Mr. and Mrs. lid. McComas
and Mr. and Mr . George Willing
gave a dancing parly at the
Temple theatre Wednesday
evening in honor of Misses
Berenice McComas , Helen Lcel

was badly torn and he is car
rying his arm in a bling.

Hd. ) McComab' drug store recent
