The Girls Fooled Them

It is not tiie ooilege boy who is np to all the pranka by any rneans, as the fol ; louing from the Chicago ínter Ocean, about the pranks !' u lot of Hillsdale college girls, proves : "The Hillsdale college is stirr '1 np over the costutaes worn by a unmber of popular young 'co-eds, at n carniyal just given by forty-nine members of the most popular young ladiea' literary society of the college. Two prominent clothing liouses of the town were represented by uirls in gentleraen's evening dipKs, quite conventional, except for the faet that they wore divided skirts . Another merchant furnished a fetcliiiifí tobogKan eostume. But what created tlie grestest seiiation - greater even than that produced by the appearance in bloomere of the two pairs of wins of vvhi cli the college boasts - was the startling effect of a young lady in foot ball regalia. Hers was the costume declared most popular by ballot of the audienee, and altogether she covered lierself with glory. Upon investigation by the lady principal, however, it leaked out the crafty girls, well versed in the wickedness of human nature, had quietly procured the services of a boy froni a brother society and easily induced him to take this part. The girls were greatly elated at the success of the scheme, forthey had allowed it to be whispered about before the entertainment that one of their number was to be in foot ball rig, and as a oonsequenee the ball was surprisingly well attended."
