The "mysterious stranger" will be chosen by the chairman of a special committee and will be known only to him. There will be a man and a woman from the city of Lawrence and a man and a woman from the country surrounding Lawrence.
Nearly all Stores to Cooperate
Announcement was made Monday by the committee in charge that 90% of the stores on Massachusetts street will co-operate by keeping their stores open from 7 to 9 o'clock Friday evening. Many of them will have special exhibits inside the stores, and windows will be dressed specially for the event.
The stores are to be open solely for the purpose of making a display for the visitors. No merchandise is to be sold except in those establishments that would be open for business regularly for that night. It is to be a "get-acquainted night" when students, faculty and townpeople may visit stores for the sole purpose of viewing the spring showings, visiting certain establishments which are not regularly on display, and at the same time meet with Lawrence salespeople.

The stores that are keeping open and are particularly interested in having students visit them are indicating that fact in their announcements in other columns of the paper tonight and tomorrow night.
