CUPID DARTS.
Through the unnatural state of atmospheric affairs or some other unknown cause our "Cupid Dart" wire has been in such bad order this week that in spite of strenuous efforts to secure sufficient returns to make even a presentable showing in this column we failed.
LATER—Wire is all right. Returns for next week promise very strong. Holidays evidently are not passing for naught. En.

USER GUARDS—The crowning social event of the season was the ball given by company H. on Christmas night. The boys decorated the wall with beautiful designs in evergreen and flags were fattooned on every side. “Camp Sluccair” adorned the stage, and within the tent a graceful Christmas tree gleamed with shining lights. The company’s flag was suspended in front of the camp, and the entire hall was one perfect scene of beauty and merriment. A very large and select crowd was present, and quite a number from neighboring cities partook of the festivities. Some of the most elegant costumes ever worn in Lawrence were noticed. Dancing continued until the early morning when the jolly crowd dispersed, after spending one of the most delightful evenings of their lives.

The Presbyterians in their usual hospitable manner entertained their Sunday school scholars and other friends in a very pleasant way last Monday evening.

An instrumental quartet in which Mrs. Bell played the slide trombone was one of the greatest attractions of the evening, Prof. Bailey, of the University, then entertained the audience with magic lantern scenes, from Jerusalem and London, interspersed with comic scenes for the children's amusement. After this part of the program, the Sunday school scholars were treated to candy, oranges etc., much to the delight of the older ones present who were fortunate enough to come in for a share. Taken as *p* whole the entertainment was throughout very creditable, and will not soon be forgotten by those who were present. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity, and standing room only could be obtained.

Mr. Innes' new home is one of the most elegant in the city, and the genial cordiality of Mr. and Mrs. Innes is enough to ensure a delightful evening to all guests.

HEAR, YE,
STUDENTS.
The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods, convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, had our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introducing such novelties as no house can equal.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods and Prices compared with those of our competitors.
