The supper was fixed up in good style by the ladies of the faculty and served by a coterie of dainty co-ed. It has been said that some of the boys were so busy looking at the co-eds that they almost forgot to eat. Speeches were in order, but the shorter they were the better they were in order. They were short. The menu was as follows: Grapefruit cocktail Chicken a la Baked Chicken Stuffing Gravy de Chicken Rice a la Charleston Peas a la Cream Demi Tasse Dessert a la Ice Cream Mrs. Clyde L.

When the first caveman grab bed the first cavelady by the hair and said, in so many words, or blows, to that effect: "Be mine !" -he probably thought he was doing the proposing. Down deep in his heart, however, he knew very well that he'd never get his clutches into those fair locks unless the dame herself was willing. The chances are that she engineered the whole thing. It's this fact which makes it so useless to argue the question of letting the woman propose. This is a topic which is dragged out every once in a while-like a mattress onto the fire escape and given a good airing. Every man realizes, when he [pops the question, that he's merely accepting a situation which some pretty girl has made for him. All he's done is to work up to the climax with flowers and bonbons and theatre tickets. Even the Chinaman, when he proposes, takes his queue from the lady. The man who says "Will you-?" is making his last "will," whether he realizes it or not. James Simpson, '14, is a mer chandise broker in Conway.
