When he had had enough, he pushed
away his plate, and glancing at Nine.
Debrisay and Mona, who had been quietly

Students Who Smoke in the Streets

$3.50
From the Boston Journal.
Yale students are getting something
of a drubbing ju.t now because of o
habit which they have Of smoking
their pipes on the streets. This, IN
fortunately, is practice that is not
confined to New Haven. The sauu-
terer along the streets of classic Cam
bridge will meet with not a few GRIM
son-shirted youth whose most con-
spicuOus adjournment, apart from their
flaring jerseys are yellow pipes. Now,
of course it Is no more of Il crime for
n college student to smoke on the
public streets than it is for one who
does not happen to be In that period
of tutelage. There are certain rules,
however. which all well bred men
are expected to observe, and one
whose time is largely given to schol-
arly pursuits should certainly be in
finer touch with these. Gentlemen
DO not smoke on the streets. There
is no accounting for what "gents"
may do.
