SOCIETY'S DOINGS
Mr. and Mrs. John W. Stuart entertained
the Senior class at their home, on Friday
evening, April 19, The evening was spent
in dancing, playing progressive euchre and
other social enjoyments. The upper classmen
and others who were fortunate enough to be
with them unite in saying that it was one of
the most enjoyable affairs of the season.
The Young Ladies Mite Society of the
Presbyterian Church gave a reception to
their friends at the residence of Prof. McKee
on Thursday evening, April 26.
A novel evening was spent at the house of
Lieut, and Mrs. Pague, a short time since,
The entertainment, a “ Bean Auction,” was
something new for State College society and
was much enjoyed, The Lieutenant acted as
auctioneer and extolled the merits of his goods
so well that he had no trouble in getting very
lively bidding from the assembled guests each
of whom were supplied with one hundred
beans with which to try their forunes. Great
credit is due Mrs. Pague and her sister, Miss
Gossler, for their ingenuity and general hos
pitality.
On Tuesday evening last a reception was
given the Q. T. V. Fraternity by Miss Mary
Foster at her pretty home in the village.
Many friends were present to enjoy her hos
pitality and spent a very pleasant evening in
moonlight promenades and dancing.
One of the most pleasant events of the col
lege year was the reception given to the corps
of cadets by Lieut, and Mrs. S. S. Pague on
Friday evening, May 10th, in their new home,
on the east campus. The event had been
anxiously looked forward to and the large at
tendance of the cadets attested the apprecia
tion of the kindness and good will of the Com
mandant towards the students. The house was
gayly decorated with flags and military em
blems, while the soft light of Japanese lan-

terns, arranged on the veranda, foretold of
the more brilliant scene within. The guests
were received by the Lieutenant and Mrs.
Pague, assisted by the Misses Meyhaffey,
Detwiler and Lineaweaver, who cordially
greeted each one and made him feel perfectly
at home. Every preparation had been made
for the comfort and entertainment of the ca
dets, and the house was for the evening their
own property. Choice selections of vocal and
instrumental music, rendered by the Glee and
Banjo Clubs, occupied the early part of the
evening. After refreshments had been en
joyed, dancing was indulged in for the
remainder of the time. The rain of the after
noon had the effect of cooling the atmosphere,
which for days had been exceedingly warm,
so that the evening was most delightful.
Everything seemed to conspire to make the
reception all that could be desired. The time
for departing came too soon, but we all left
feeling very grateful to our host and hostess,
and will long remember it as the most enjoy
able evening ever spent together as Pennsyl
vania State College students*

A great improvement has been made around
the Botanical Laboratory by the laying out of
pathways, and by the leveling and sodding of
the lawns.
