On Saturday afternoon, the 18th of November, about thirty-five young women, members of the Pi Beta Phi fraternity, gathered at the home of one of their patronesses, Mrs. James Woods Green, where a delightful afternoon was spent. Progressive whist was indulged in, and very dainty refreshments were served. Rose bowls of chrysanthemums gave an added touch of beauty to the charming parlors. Mrs. Green was assisted in entertaining by Mrs. Ayres and Mrs. Bullene, and those present, besides fraternity members, were Mrs. Paul Brooks and Mrs. Peter Emery, also patronesses of the fraternity, and Miss Edith Thacher, of Topeka. The occasion was made more enjoyable by the pledging of Miss Hattie Ayres, daughter of the Rev. W. W. Ayres, rector of the Trinity Church.

The members of the lecture course have at last been definitely settled, and contracts have been signed ror the following attractions: Locke Richardson, John Temple Graves, Henry Watterson, Benard-Listemann Concert Co., Wilczeck Concert Co., Marteau Concert Co. As will be seen, the course will consist of three lectures and three concerts, and it can safely be said that a list of attractions superior to these could not have been obtained. There is not a second-class number among them, and the students will do well to buy their tickets early, as only a limited number will be sold. The price of the tickets will be two dollars, with five per cent off to anyone taking ten. A free ticket will be given to anyone selling nineteen, and anyone who wishes will be allowed to sell tickets.
