KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.

represented in it, each school having a special department.
Last year the annual's success was to a great extent marred by the appearance of "The Shingle," an annual issued by the K. U. lawyers, but this year the senior laws have gone in with the rest of the class and will lend their energies and cash to the annual's success.
One man will devote his entire time to artistic work. The manager and editorin-chief are both hard at work rushing matters along. Some of the fraternity pictures are already in. Mr. Moore, the managing editor, believes they are the finest work of the kind he has seen.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The devotional meeting this week was led by Miss Nina Drake, her subject being "The Secret of Gladness." The first part of the meeting was occupied by the leader, who gave some very helpful thoughts and then the opportunity was given for the girls to take part. Following the devotional service was the initiation of a number of new members, and then came the report of the committee appointed last week to place the nomination officers for the ensuing year. The election of officers will take place next Wednesday, and the following week will be an initiation service to install them in office.
The girls of the school of fine arts will be entertained at the home of Mrs. Franklin, 1029 Tennessee, Saturday afternoon.
Although rather late, as our notes were unavoidably left out last week, an account of the work in which Miss Meredith was engaged during the Christmas vacation will perhaps be of interest to some. The month before Christmas Miss Meredith spent in Kansas City, Kansas, assisting Miss Agnes Radford in starting a college settlement in the slum district of the city. Six rooms have
been rented at No 4 James St., the packing house district, and have been comfortably furnished by donations from the ladies of the city. The girls of the district are urged to feel free to go there at any time and are often entertained with pleasant social gatherings. Devotional services are held at various times and classes in sewing, embroidery, music etc., have been organized. Miss Meredith and Miss Radford made these rooms their home during the month mentioned and Miss Radford, with a housekeeper, will live there until the arrival of the resident secretary who will continue the work. The settlement is starting out very conspiciously and any assistance in the form of donations of money, furniture or anything to make the rooms attractive will be greatly appreciated.
The Christmas box which the K. U. association sent to the settlement at Kansas City was much appreciated, Miss Meredith reports The fruits and jellies were distributed to the sick and the other articles proved as acceptable to tbose who received them.
