Sir Dwight Mendenhall, a champion at the tournament, selected our fair Lady ,losephine Schmidt as the queen of love beauty. Francis lileinndori, archbishop of Canterbury, employs in his services Ted eampbell, chief of the butlers.

Raymond Rawitsch and lfinory llaxter, attendants of the king, were found one moonlight night serenading two ladies of nobility. The stars, however, have failed to reveal to me the identity of the ladies. l think now of an incident l heard concerning some mem- bers of the class. A right goodly number of ladies-Lady Martha Borgstede, Lady Mary lilizabeth Hanger, Lady Uoris Carr, and Lady Ruth lfmerich-were carried away by a band of robbers. Their leader was none other than the bold Edward XYoHev. The ladies never returned and we know not where to search for them, Dwight Renfrew is honored to the d6gree of being char- ioteer for his Lordship. Lady Frances Hunt is a noted costumer. She designs her Ladyship's gowns, and often in spare time patterns various modes oi hair dessing. Thelma Baker is of great use in the court where she tutors the young ladies in hne needle work.
