T0 CUT OUT THE CABS | THE ACTION "oF ra LEVANA | SOCIETY OF QUERN'S. Te The Young Ladies to the Rescue of the Young Men-~Big Advance in the Prices Charged for Comvey- |r Ces, The lady students at Queen' § uni- versity have come to the reicue of the young men, who are so gallant "no their attention: and to whose invi tations they readily respond to at- tend the faculty and other dances al Queen's. university. They greatly ap- preciate the courtesy of the young men and, having learned that the cab rates have been very largely in- creased, they have decided that he e- after cabs will not be one of the accessories in connection with the in vitation. The members of the Levana Sociaty possess that business acumen, which is not generally associated with th feminine part of the community, and think that $3 for a drive from their homes to the college and return i quite an extravagant bit of expense, and particularly when, on a fine night, a walk _has greatly increased advantages over driving. They thought it was preposterous te charge such a figure for driving pos sibly two or three block at the most and it gives the cabmen this advan tage that they can handle two three parties during the night, mak- ing a fairly good bit of momey for the occasion. Heretofore $2 had been the price paid, though $3 had been. customary on a trip to the Royal Military College and return. The young ladies say that unless the cabmen come down in rates 'We Walk™ will be the motto for quite a number of the events that are still to come off in the college during {the present term. They believe {that the young men have sufficient expense associated with the invita- tion to the popular dances without the added fee required for travelling with all the luxury associated with {society life. They believe that they jean walk to the college with an {added interest as the longer mo- {ments taken will be full of pleasant (memories in days to come.
