Kappa Alpha Theta.
Fraternal Aid hall never presented a more cozy and inviting appearance than Friday evening last. It was the occasion of the Kappa Alpha Theta entertainment. The evening could not have been more happily chosen. Not a cloud was in the heavens to mar the moonlight nor to fill the merry seekers with awe of any approachigg storm. The atmosphere was just cool enough to make dancing enjoyable. This being the first society event in University circles since the beginning of the lenten weeks of quiet and peace, everybody seemed only too glad of the opportunity of throwing off all the restraint of formality, and went in for a good time.
The hall was beautifully decorated. Large pictures ornamented the walls, in numbers. The gallery was completely carpeted and the numerous easy chairs and rugs here, offered an inviting place of rest for the tired dancer or inquisitive spectator. The stage was massively decorated in old gold and black—Theta colors, in the front of which was a center table laden with flowers.
Perhaps the most unique and attractive of all this decoration was a picture of the fraternity's emblem—a cat, placed conspicuously in the center of a broad band of old gold and black which spanned the front and upper part of the arch above the stage. This emblem of the fraternity, occupying as it did such a conspicuous place and presenting such a ludicrous appearance with back bent and hair bristled, called forth many witty comments and much laughter during the evening.
To the right and just below the stage a place was partitioned off with flowers and vines artistically arranged in the shape of a cabin in which were the musicians. Buch's orchestra furnished the music.
About 8 o'clock the young people began arriving and by 9 or half past the programs were distributed, but all extra dances, so the gentlemen were informed, were ladies choice. Supper was served at 11 o'clock.
The party was such a success that it will not soon be forgotten by those so fortunate to be present. Not only were the Thetaes from the local chapter there but also others from surrounding towns as well as guests from the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Phi fraternities and representatives from the leading towns in this and neighboring states. For chivalry and beauty it was an ideal gathering; a gathering of young people which it is not one's good fortune to meet with but seldom and then only in a college town.
Nothing occurred during the evening to mar the pleasantness. From 9 o'clock p. m. until the clock registered 2 a. m. all enjoyed themselves hugely. In fact from the first moment until the last all joined in the merriment, laughing and chatting the hours away and finally when the hour of 2 a. m. arrived each one felt that the party had been a grand success, and also that the Theta's were ideal entertainers.

A Banker's Suggestions a, to Printing and Signature.
CONCERNING CHECKS.
The cashier of a down-town bank said that when the public learned which end of the check they should sign their names on it would be a great and gorific day for the employees of the banks in New York, say the New York Sun. "When the public has been taught this little detail," the cashier said, "it would be well to give the banks a lesson in printing their checks. The latest fashion in checks is by far the most convenient one. All of the information on the check which is of value to the banker is placed on one end. At the right upper corner is the date. Under this is the name of the man to whom the check is drawn. Beneath this again is the amount of the check in figures, and right below that the signature of the man who draws it. The other end of the check is filled in with the name of the bank, and so on. The advantages of this form of check are: First, that the date, amount, signer and drawer can be seen at a glance; second, if the check is bound up with dozens of other checks and bills it is not necessary to pull it out from the bundle to get information about it. A cashier can take up a package of such checks, thumb over the ends and set them aside in less time than it would take to go over two or three checks of the older form. Nearly all of the larger banking houses and big corporations have adopted the check, and it will eventually find its way down to the smaller concerns."
ELECTRIC TRAINS.
We May Look for Such Things in the Near Future.
Every now and then we hear that electric motors will soon take the place of steam locomotives on railroads. How much truth there is in the matter is well stated in an interesting article in Loo-motive Engineering, which says:
The prospect of moving ordinary trains by electricity is about as good now as the prospects of lighting cities by electricity were before the discovery that electricity could be generated by a dynamo-electric machine. Previous to the introduction of the dynamo it was well known that electric lights could be made with powerful batteries, but the zinc and copper that constituted the fuel of the battery were too expensive to make electric lighting anything more than a curiosity. The dynamo effected a revolution by cheapening electricity. If another improvement equally radical should be made over the present methods of generating electricity it would open the way for operating railroad trains more cheaply by electricity than by locomotives. The radical improvement looked for is the direct generation of electricity from the energy of coal. So long as coal has to be burned in a furnace to make steam for an engine to drive dynamos for the generation of the electricity used there is no probability of electric transmission being cheaper than hauling by locomotives.
HEROIC COURTESY.
The Courteous Frenchman Never Revealed
Ha Careless Hont's Mistake.
A recent French writer on "The Revolution, the Empire and the Restoration," cites an amusing instance of what he calls heroic courtesy.
Percy, Lord Beverly, invited to dine with him a marquis who was one of the most valiant soldiers of the army of Conde. Wishing to honor his guest and the cause which he served, that of the French king, the English peer ordered his butter to bring him a bottle of fine wine one hundred years old, "a ray of sunshine in crystal."
He opened it carefully and offered a glass to the marquis, saying: "If you deem it worthy the honor, will you in this wine the health of the king?"
"Then," said Lord Beverly, "finish the glass; only in a full glass can one drink the health of so great and so unfortunate a king."
"How do you like it?" asked the host.
"Excoriate," replied the marrons.
Without hesitation the marquids did as he was bidden. Only when the Englishman tasted the wine did he learn that what he had forced on his guest was castor oil; and henceforth he held the politeness of the French toward the English in the highest esteem.
The marquis tasted the wine.
This is good weather for a man to have a case in court if he has to have one at all, for he can do nothing else now.
Do you believe that marriage is a failure? No, but my husband does.
