HONKY TONK STONIP As a prime example of just how far a good idea can be carried and yet remain a good idea, the Honk), Tonk Stomp sponsored by the Associated \Vomen Students had no equal among the year's dances. Rumor had it, as I'umor often will, that communication had been es­ tablished with the ethereal regions and that Victor Hugo himself (or as much of himself as may be pl'esumed to exist in the ethereal regions) had taken on the thankless job of composing the guest Jist, containing all the best names in the Sewers of Paris Set. It would have done Victor's morbid old heart good to see the conviviality of Lcs iVliscmiJlr-s frolll tile Mudholes of Van port. \Vhile the apache dancers held sway in the ballroom, a differem atmosphere entirely prevailed in the back room, where a bunch of the boys were whoop­ iug it lip. Contrasted with the variegated ruffles and multi-colored curls, Klondike Kale would have found it necessary to move fast to avoid fading into oblivion among the checkered tablecloths to the fading strains of a rag-time tune.
