the way of magnificence and brilr

anything but g-randtn- that! its pre-
decessors. After a long petiod of
dances, masked halts, and similar
[)!'oductio!is, the boat ride will prove
a very pleasant diversion .from the
usu'al poat-Lenten events, and will
herald along seafstori of hay rides, and
boat rides to be given in the future.
After consiiicuable thought on the
matter, the Class -locided to have the
Riittle Orounds as a destination in-
