ROBERTS.—Another of the most pleasant particle of the season was given last Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Capt. Roberts, at their beautiful home on South Massachusetts street. Euchre, with its many fascinations, furnished the amusement of the evening until 11 o'clock, when a very elegant lunch was spread, and it is needless to say that the merry company were fully adequate to this part of the occasion. When the last hours of that day were passing away the crowd departed, well assured that with Mr. and Mrs. Roberts they had spent an evening long to be remembered.

Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Bassett, John Barber and wife, A. B. Warren and wife, John Harding and wife, D. L. Hoadley and wife, John Alder and wife, Mr. Perkins and wife, Mr. Weber and wife, and Chas, Perks and wife.
MANSFIELD.—Miss Mand Mansfield entertained a pleasant company of friends at her home in West Lawrence Saturday evening. Progressive eucher was the standard amusement, and elegant refreshments were introduced to add to the pleasure of a very enjoyable evening. The following were present: L. N. Lewis and Miss George Gillett, Ben Akers and Miss Belie Love, Wm. Spencer and Miss Mamie Tisdale, Lawrence Noble and Miss Angie Loge, and R. C. Rankin and Miss May Webster.
WHITMAN. — On Friday evening about sixty friends of Mrs. Alfred Whitman assembled in the parliars of the Unitarian church to wish her many happy returns of her birthday.
The preparations for the social occasion had been kept a secret from Mrs. Whitman, and much good generalship had been shown in smuggling the oysters, fruits, cakes, etc., into the kitchen so as to escape the notice of the guest of the evening.
The affair was so admirably managed that Mrs. Whitman was completely surprised. All pre-cat were in their happiest mood. The supper was delicious, and no professional cook ever served oysters in finer style than did Mrs. S. M. Gardner. Mrs. A. Whitcomb presented Mrs. Whitman with a basket of exquisite flowers. During the evening Miss Mary Gleason gave some choice recitations, which were greatly enjoyed. Miss Carrie Marks and Miss Marcella Howland sang some fine selections.
G, W. Duback.—On Friday evening Mr. G. W. Duback entertained a number of his friends very pleasantly at his rooms, on the corner of Winthrop and Ohio streets. It was known as a "bean bag" party and caused a great deal of amusement. Mrs. F. L. Webster and Mr. B. A. Amber received the first honors for skill, while Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Mackey received the "booby" prizes. The following ladies and gentlemen were present: W. T. Sinclair and wife, W. L. Bullene and wife, A. D. Mackey and wife, Frank L. Weoster and wife, B. A. Amber and wife, and Mrs. S. B. Hynes. Mr. Duback is an excellent host and those who were present passed a delightful evening.
Monday evening being the regular meeting of Handel and Haydn society, the usual good number were present and spent a profitable event with their conductor, P. D. Aldrich. It was the time for election of officers, and the following were elected: President, Prof. Wilcox; Vice-President, Prof. Nichols; Secretary, Mr. Stimpson; Treasurer, Geo. Mull; Librarian, Mr. Chew; Directors,Mr. Lott,Mr. John Ross. A member of this organization in former years chanced to be present, Mr. Chas. Gleed, of Topeka, and all were glad to have him call on "for more scenes."3
BOWERSOCK—The little folks dancing club held its regular weekly evening of revelry last week at the residence of ex-mayer Bowersock. As usual under Mrs. Bowersock's chaperonage, the evening was one of unloaded joy and pleasure. The "young people" were all out. The old people were: Hon. J. M.
Green and wife, John Hutchings and wife, Al. Lewis and wife, H. Schaum and wife, J. E. Parke and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Updyke of Topeka, I. N. Van Hoesen and wife and Frank Melluish.
TURNER—One of the most enjoyable affairs of the season was a very delightful party, given last Saturday evening at the residence of Miss Lily Turner, on Kentucky street. No more pleasant company ever assembled, and every one was in the best of humor and spent a very happy evening. Music and a variety of games furnished the entertainment until an elegant lunch was spread, and to this the guests did ample justice. At quite a late hour the crowd departed, pronouncing Miss Lily a very charming hostess. Those present were Misses Mamie Henshaw, Lily Freeman, Lea Bearad, Minnie Weber, and Emma Blackington; Messrs. Geo. Anderson, J. Schall, O. M. Jackson, L. Gilbert, G. Lewis, and A. Burney.
SLEIGHING PARTY. —A merry party of six couple of students Monday night secured Donnelly's bays and his best rig and started for the beautiful (?) burg of Eudora. All went merry as marriage belts on the east bound rail, all being closely clucked in, the comfort of the young ladies being well cared for by the gentlemen—none but the driver having nighte to do. Arriving at Eudora, where they expected to have a feast, they found all in darkness. On the return the comfort of the ladies were the better cared for—the driver letting his lady drive that he might be more attentive to this duty. All went well until the driveress, trying the speed of the gay steeds, struck a stump. When, oh! where were the party? In twos they landed in the roadway. The team very accommodatingly stopped, and none being badly hurt all is well. 'Tis told Schall struck a snow-bank, Jeff Davis perched upon a rail fence Burney on his feet and Lewis in a ditch.
A funny story is told of one of our most popular young men who claimed a handkerchief from a ballroom as belonging to his fair one—he recognizing it "by its perfume." Chuckling with his friends in his good fortune in finding it, and expounding upon the galantry with which he would return it, his consternation can only be imagined on receiving a telephone message from an irate husband during the day, calling upon him to return his wife's handkerchief at his office at once. All romance faded at once.

VIEWS
ED. VIEWS:-I wish to say a word in regard to the literary societies. I have seen a great deal in the college papers about the societies being so poor. I desire to state first, that I believe it is the duty of every student to take an interest in one or the other of the societies. What ever his prospective calling, whether it be to become a lawyer, minister or professor, or businessman, it is necessary that all should be able to give expression to ideas in an agreeable way before the public. This is getting to be the case more everyday, as it becomes more and more evident that all legislative and governmental power must come from the people. Those students who claim to be too busy to attend, are really too busy to stay away. How often in life we see some unprincipled fellow actually run a convention of sensible people, simply because he knows parliamentary rule and is a better speaker than the rest. I have known instances of this kind in temperance meetings, in political conventions, and especially in farmers' conventions, where the sense of the majority was actually thwarted, because some wily fellow was "posted" on the method of carrying on a public meeting, and because the majority of the assembly were ignorant. All who expect to make good citizens should attend literary society.
Now I wish to refer to what has been said in the papers. Some one seems to think himself called upon to proclaim to the world that the societies have run down; that no interest is taken in them; that the secret societies hurt them, etc. Now I will venture that the writer of those articles either attends no literary or is an Oreand; if for he had ever attended Orophilian he would not talk so. Orophilian, according to some of the old members, is better than it ever was before. Previous to the holidays her place of meeting was the scene of large crowds and great interest. Since the holidays, though the weather has been bad, and at one time in particular was the worst day we have seen since 1873, there have been very fair meetings. And be sides the regular meetings, which have been so successful, some of her members have organized a "Webster Club," which has an interesting meeting every Saturday. Now it may be perfectly proper for Oreads to remind her members that they should take more interest; but it is certainly wrong to give out the impression that Orophilian is a failure. Such a course will not induce any one to join; for what new student wants to join an organization where no interest is manifested.

My Dear Griffin: I have heated my house with a furnace for five winters, including this, and have tried nearly every kind of coal in this market. The Blue Mound coal which you have furnished me this winter, is far superior to any I have yet used, in every particular. It never "clinkers" burns to a clean ash, has plenty of heat, and is particularly desirable in keeping a steady temperature for a long time without attention. I hardly think a better soft coal can be found.
