History of Class of Nineteen=Five ADIES and Gentlemen!” announced the sonorous voice of Mrs. Jarley’s new manager; this exhibition is calm, classical, inspir- ing. It is the life history of a typical college class, that of 1905, in the splendid institution of Adelphi College; which we have chosen to represent in the world-renowned waxworks of Mrs. Jarley, kindly lent us for that purpose. Please step this way, to the first gallery. Observe the word upon the threshold: ‘Freshmen!’ a truly magic Open Sesame!” The manager, a dignified young woman in cap and gown, with the tassel over the left eyebrow, withdrew the purple velvet curtain disclosing the immortal collection of “divers sprightly effigies, singly and in groups, with their eyes very wide open and their nostrils very much inflated, and all their countenances expressing great surprise.” This first magnificent group to the right,” she continued, pointing to one where half the figures were ornamented with enormous bows which the rest were struggling vainly to secure, portrays the first event of col- lege life for 1905—the 'War of the Ribbons’ resulting from the unwar- ranted prohibition of such decorations imposed by the Sophomores. Ob- serve the disconsolate young lady in the background weeping over a broken bag. That is R. N., and she has early discovered what it means to come in conflict with ’05. This bag contained trophies of her con- quests, triumphantly retaken by the Freshmen. “The chubby, bewitching figure next in line, in baby dress, bib, and bonnet, with all the charms of infant grace, is C. M., who captivated all hearts at the celebrated Baby Party given ’05 bv her considerate sister, ’04. Coy little B. B., by her side, distinguished herself by making ’way with the greatest amount of bread and milk on that occasion, and the orator on the chair is A. W., whose success as a deelaimer of ‘Mother Goose’ prophe- sied her dramatic future. “The scene of stirring action here represented is called the ‘Snowball Battle.’ The heroic defenders in the sleigh are Freshmen, their cruel foes the Sophomores; the lady in the distance is the deserted Miss F., and the smiling gentleman is Dr. L., whose friendliness is deceptive, as he per- fidiously betrayed them the next day.
