NEW HAVEN, CONN. 



The gauntlet that was cast down by 

 the Yale men when they established the 

 rule that no man buying flowers for the 

 Junior Promenade would be allowed an 

 entrance to the armory January 18 has 

 been picked up by the local florists, and 

 now it is war to the teeth between the 

 merry sons of Eli and the Chapel street 

 dispensers of flowers. In previous years 

 the students intending to go to the prom- 

 enade have been advised by the commit- 

 tee not to purchase flowers, but the ma- 

 jority of them generally yielded to the 

 occasional hints of their fair companions 

 and patronized the florists. This year, 

 however, it was announced by the com- 

 mittee that entrance would be refused 

 to any man who bought flowers, and to 

 make it more effective they forced every 

 man who purchased a ticket to sign a 

 pledge to the effect that he would not 

 indulge in this luxury. Naturally the 

 florists regard this as a particularly hos- 

 tile move against them. 



John N. Champion said : ' ' Had we been 

 notified of the proposed action of the 

 committee a few months ago it would not 

 have hurt us so much. But, all in all, we 

 don't lose such a pile, for most of the 

 profits were given to students soliciting 

 the orders, and we had to sell on close 

 margins. Then there was the advertising 

 in the college papers; but hereafter we 

 will not be put to expense on that ac- 

 count, for I guess the florists can treat 

 the Yale men the same way as they them- 

 selves are being treated. They say that 

 cutting out the flowers will lessen the ex- 

 penses, but it is a well known fact that 

 the students who invite girls here have 

 money enough to pay for flowers. Gener- 

 ally the men who are financially embar- 

 rassed go stag. If these girls come to 

 this city and want flowers they will buy 

 them. They want a good time and expect 

 their friends to purchase the flowers for 

 the event. Up to the present we have 

 been carrying a lot of Yale men's bills 

 on our books, but be assured, that will 

 not last long now. "
