J. K. BANGS IN UNION AT 8

Well-Known Editor and Author to Lecture on "Salubrities I Have Met."

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Mr. John Kendrick Bangs, the well-known writer of humorous tales, will lecture on "Salubrities I Have Met," in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock. The lecture will be open to members of the Union only.

Mr. Bangs was graduated from Columbia in 1883, and studied law there for a year, but never practiced. Instead he accepted the position of associate editor of "Life," which he held for four years, only leaving to become editor-in-chief of "The Drawer." In the capacity of editor he has also been connected with "Harper's Magazine," "Literature," "Harper's Weekly," "The Metropolitan Magazine," and "Puck." Since 1905 he has devoted his entire time to writing.

As soon as he was out of college, Mr. Bangs took up the career of an author, and has produced many humorous books as well as several farces and musical comedies. Among his better-known works might be mentioned "New Waggings of Old Tales," "Coffee and Repartee," "A House Boat on the Styx," "The Pursuit of the House Boat," "Ghosts I have Met," and many others of the same character.
