The Chemical Club is a real “live wire” in the A. & M. College and has an interesting program to present at every meeting. That its program committee is especially active is shown by the fact that they have been able to get on their programs such subjects as the above and have been able to secure the only men on the campus able to discuss these subjects best. At the next meeting, December 6, Dr. G. S. Fraps, State Chemist and head of the Chemistry Department of the Experiment Station, will speak ou ‘The Work of the Experiment Sta tion.” On December 21, Prof. F. C. Bolton will address the club on “The Relation of Chemistry to Electrical Engineering.” Others will follow which will be equally interesting. Those who are interested will be given a hearty welcome by the Chemi cal Club. Not only chemical engineers, but every student in the college will gain great advantage from hearing these lectures. They give one an insight to the work that is being done in the school and to the close relation exist ing between the different depart ments. This is information students should have.

The plot deals with Robert Staf ford, a handsome, young, self-made millionaire, and a man of domineering will, who wooes Virginia Blaine, a pretty telephone operator at a fashion able hotel, while transacting business over the long distance wire. He in vited her and her sister, Fanny, and Fanny’s fiance, Jimmy Gilley, a self- conceited shipping clerk, with super fluous ideas, to visit his palatial home. While showing her the treasures of his bachelor quarters, he proposes and, although she does not love him, she is dazzled by her surroundings and accepts him. At the supper which follows, he proposes a toast to the future Mrs. Stafford, much to the surprise of the other guests. Two years later the telephone girl is the wife of this money king, who has one serious fault that mars the happiness of her cherished domestic ity. He occasionally comes home in toxicated, and when in this condition he is an entirely different being. Thus it occurs that in the second act Staf ford comes home in this shape and disgusts his wife by his insinuations and by forcing his attentions upon her. In his frenzy he tells her his check book has been the means of making her his wife and establishing her in his home. But the next day she agrees to a reconciliation if he will foreswear drinking. This he refuses to do on the ground that he will not be dictated to. His wife leaves him and goes back to work. Brother-in-law Gilley has also come down in the world with his sister-in-law’s difficulty with her husband, and informs her that by her quixotry she has absolutely ruin ed his career, and conspires to bring about a new arrangement of affairs. He calls the now penitent Stafford on the phone and tells him his wife wishes to see him. They meet and rush into each other’s arms and all is forgiven.
