Dear William:
I will take advantage of this va
cant period to snap you off a few
lines in answer to your last, which
came as a balm to sooirie my wound
ed pride. As yet ole Millie and I
havent made up. You know that
she is the most fickle girl I ever
knew. The boys have knicknamed
her Niagra—cause she falls for any
body. I dont think that she has ob
tained a date for the T dance, for I
received a little conciliatory note
from her the other day. But I did
ent answer it cause I saw thru her
little scheme right from the first.
Boy it surely has turned cold down
in this part of the world. The other
morning I woke up and found that
my roommate had frozen in the posi
tion of a soldier, so I got up and
stuffed my overcoat in the window
and turned on the radiator so we
could thaw out. The colder it would
get the madder I would get at Ike
for making me turn in that large
nitrogen light globe, cause that radi
ator of mine is just about as cold as
that girl I went to see in your home
town Christmas. I got up from my
radiator and started hunting for ^
warm room. But after visiting all
the rooms on the floor I gave it up
and went down to Casey’s and bought
a cup of hot chocolate. And this
morning I got a ram slip with six de
merits written on it for impersonat
ing a night Sergeant. The next time
I visit around I am going to put on
my uniform and knock before I en
ter anybody’s room.
All the Seniors are going crazy
over the game Polo. I was talk
ing to President Furneaux the other
day and he told me that the Polo
club had just completed arrange
ments for twenty more mounts.
These steeds are to be turned over
to the organization just as soon as
the Agronomy Department catch up
with their spring plowing. I un
derstand that Otto Lott has been is
sued a Shetland Pony. He surely
ought to make some headway in Polo
for he bought a Chem. pony from P.
T. Bimmerman when he was a Fresh
man and I understand that he has
been distinguished ever since. One
of the features of the R. V. festiv
ities this year will be a Polo game
between A. and M. and the Consoli
dated School.
Well I’ve got to go over to that
class in Fish English and turn in that
theme on “Why I Came to A. and
M.” so drop me a line real quick to
tie to my sinking fund.
Yours for higher education,
Rufus.

ETIQUETTE
At the Theatre.
Should the man or woman make
the date?
Who should pay for the tax and
the tickets?
How should the man address the
doorman?
Should he say, “Mr. Doorman,
meet Miss X” or “Allow me to pre
sent my friend?”
When in a box party, should the
man or woman clap first?
Should he introduce her to other
people in the box?
Should the man or woman look
around to find the nearest fire exit?
At the Dance.
Here is where many horrible bun
ders are made. Without sufficient
training in etiquette one is likely to
cry after the dance.
What would you say if you were
with a woman at a dance and you
were arrested by mistake?
Should you leave her alone or take
her with you?
How many times may a girl not
show up for a dance without break
ing the rules of etiquette?
Is is correct to wander away from
the ballroom with someone else’s
chaperone?
Which side of the girl should the
man dance on?
When leaving the ballroom is the
guest supposed to invite his hostess
home for the rest of the evening?
After the ball is over and the guest
has made embarrassing blunders,
should he weep at his hostess’ house
or wait till he gets outside?
What would you say if you slip
ped on your host’s sidewalk?
On the Street.
When a man steps on a woman’s
toe who should stare the argument?
If you were with a girl and were
bitten by a mad dog what should you
do first? Is it considered proper eti
quette for the girl to scream?
When a man and woman are to
gether and the woman faints should
the man take the woman’s arm or
vice versa?
If you were going uptown with a
woman which side should you walk
on? If you were coming down town
on that same Side?
On 'the Train.
Should the motorman offer his
seat to a woman on a crowded sub
way train?
Is it considered good etiquette for
a woman to leave more than four
teen packages on the seat beside her?
When with a good-looking woman
does the man leave his seat at his
own risk?
If you were bringing your baby
to town would you let him play on
the neck of the man in front of you?
If you were the owner of the neck
how long would you tolerate this
without breaking the rules of eti
quette?
How many seats is one allowed to
reserve on a crowed commuters’
train and still show signs of cuture?
There are countless little things
that show one’s social standing and
breeding. Why feel ill at ease every-
v/here you go? Why feel embarrass
ed when you spill coffee on your
hostess’ table or burn a hole in your
host’s prize oriental rug? Why call
yourself a cad when you drop your
hostess’ baby or mistake the maid
for her daughter- Know what to say
in each case and make the deed
right.
A person who was speaking on the
law of compensation said:
“When a man is blind his hearing
is more acute.”
“I see,” said the listener. “I’ve of
ten noticed that if a man had a short
leg, the other was always longer.”

Wag: Oh! that’s Dubb filing a
complaint.

“Now please don’t go out tonight,’
said the paternal janitor to his way
ward furnace.—Sun Dodger.
A.M.C.
