Maurice Alden has exchanged overcoats with some one. About three weeks ago he wore his overcoat, which was a new blue one, up to the University. He hung his hat and coat in the hall, and at eleven o'clock took his hat to go over to Snow Hall. When he came back he placed his hat on the same hook with what he supposed was his overcoat. It, however, afterwards proved not to be such. At one o'clock, when he went to his dinner, he carried the overcoat on his arm, and as the warm weather continued, he did not wear the overcoat again for some time. As soon as he had occasion to wear it, he discovered his mistake, and since that time has been looking for his own coat. His search has proved in vain, and he desires to state that he wishes the man who has his coat would make himself known so he can trade coats back again.
A Most Deplorable Affair.
A very sad incident happened Sunday afternoon when Mr. Jay was married to a prominent young lady of the University. The wedding took place at the bride's home, the "Ladies' Club," Rev. Bowker officiating. The fact that they are really married is most deplorable, as the contracting parties were not especially adapted for each other. The groom has decided to face the music manfully though. The unfortunate affair happened in this way: After a most enjoyable dinner at the Ladies' Club it was proposed that one of the guests, Mr. Jay, and one of the fairest ladies of the Club go through the farce of a mock marriage. This was done in the most approved manner by Rev. Bowker, who was present, although he omitted kissing the bride. Now, by the laws of Kansas, according to Attorney Lamb, '96, this marriage is legal.
The bride is one of the prettiest young ladies of the school. The groom is one of the best
"catches" of the season; he is a young man of high moral standing, has a fine education, is very handsome, and counts his friends by the score. The couple, after their honeymoon, will be at home at 1531 Tenn. St.
Economic Seminary.
The most interesting meeting of the Economic Seminary that has yet been held was the one last Monday evening in the library building. A larger attendance than ever before was present.
Mr. R. W. Cone reviewed the book entitled "The Repudiation of State Debts," by William A. Scott, assistant professor of political economy in the University of Wisconsin. The review was extremely interesting, and held the attention of all throughout.
S. S. Brown reviewed two articles in the Annals of the American Academy.
C. R. Troxel reviewed an article in the North American Review, after which the Seminary engaged in a general discussion of the topics of the day.
MUSIC HALL ECHOES.
The first students' song recital was given Wednesday, and proved to be very enjoyable. The program was rendered entirely by the vocal students, and the finished and artistic rendering of the various solos gave evidence of very careful training.
We were warned that the next two weeks would be full of attractions, and that we must take the best and leave the rest, so that the classes should not suffer. However, there are three events next week that we cannot afford to miss. Monday evening Mrs. Clark's pupils will give an elocation entertainment in the chapel of the University. Tuesday the Christmas Concert will be given, to which all are invited. Wednesday take a rest.
