The maiden was coy; the beau was urgent, and finally the houseowner concluded that he was not lit his proper element, so he arose and excused himself by saying that ho did not wish to interfere with the young people’s pleasures. The affair was too good to keep; it leaked out in some way, and the other students are making life a burden for the chief actors in the matter: while the householder realizes • where he is at,”becauseof the fact thatthere has been an exodus of female roomers from

his domicile.
