At the conclusion of the business ses- a program will be rendered designed purely to amuse and entertain. This will be a literary session of the Phipsieli Literary Society, and will be more, or less, of a burlesque on the regular meetings of the old literary so cieties, including preliminaries and a debate.

The Psiphelian Literary Society met I’uesday evening in the reception hall of the West Dormitory. The program consisted of a study of the lives of Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, Katharine Sedgwick, and Fitzgreen Halleck; and their respective works. The program began with a piano num ber, “Mazurka in G Minor”—Saint- Saens, by Miss Dola Gotten. Miss Got ten interpreted this composition well and her technic was faultless. Miss Alice Weber gave a sketch of Longstreet’s life with the most important events. Being a Soutiiern writer, makes him more appealing. A short story, “The Customer,” by Longstreet, was read by Miss Rose Fulghum. Miss Fulghum read very ex- Ijressively this story in luimorous negro dialect. The life of Katharine Maria Ledg- wick was the subject of a paper by Miss' Lillie Horne. Zest was added to the ))rogram by Misses Margaret Bowman and Clara Tuck.

Madame Galli-Curci descend ed from a fnmily of musical genius. Her fame has been the result of long, hard work combined with a spark of the divine musical genius. She is a woman of excellent, broad culture. Her re pertoire is comprehensive and her skill in technicque wonderful. Mrs. J. II. Dollar read several anec- dates. some of them being original. Miss Gwendolyn Patton delighted the society with a musical reading in which an ambitious girl struggled to become a poet but almost gave up on account of interruptions. An exceedingly humorous reading was given by Miss Victoria Adams, in which she acted the par,t of a very small girl who, at dancing school, was nearly NEW STTXiES BEADY PRICES THAT PLEASE THE SATISFACTION FROM BUYING HERE IS EVIDENT IN EACH TRANSACTION We Carry the Goods You Want at Prices Consistent With the High Character of the Qualities MAKE A VISIT HERE!

But for most of us, this new Williams Hinge- Cap puts an end Lo an ancient nuisance. Williams Shaving Cream is just as much pleasanter to use as ;j the Hinge-Cap. It softens the beard uncanny speed. The thicker lather holds the moisture in against the skin where it is needed. This lather lu bricates the skin, cuo, so that painful razor friction is eliminated. And when your shave is done, that famous ingredient in Williams which helps the skin, leaves your face cool, soothed and refreshed.

MINISTERS’ SONS AGAIN For all myself I do not believe that achievement of success of piuely ma terial nature is really worth while. Un less a man’s work is coupled with a high religious motive, he may be build ing for the devil rather than 'for God and humanity. And so I take a special pride in the statistics concerning the men who come from religious homes. One of the national periodicals which made a research said not long ago that 1,000 sons of preachers were to be found among the 12,000 most promi nent men in the United States. A still wider reasearch shows that of something like 27,000 names of men selected for an all-American list of notabilities, 3,413 were preachers and 1,185 were the sons of preachers; and that 64 per cent of the presidents of colleges, state universities and technical schools were preachers. All the foregoing would seem to indi cate that relative poverty and religious training are the corner stones of 'suc- cesis in the United States. The Christian Statesman.
