Delightfully informal was the observance of the annual Gentlemen’s Night by the W.L U. at Chase Hall last evening. There is a charm about the place with its wide fireplaces and lack of formal seating arrangement that makes even the shyest of persons feel the home-like atmosphere. This seemed intensified last evening through the cordiality of the various departments – who were in charge of the event. Mrs. E.R. Field, the President, made a gracious mistress of ceremonies. She gave a brief address of welcome.
