turn vaguely frightened eyes 10 the
new life about to open before her. At
school she knew everybody, and every
body knew her, but here only few
of her former classmates will follow
her. and she is beginning to wonder
among 50 many strange faces.
Besides that, she is, of course, very
anxious to do the proper thing, both
as to clothes, furnishings and general
compartment, for she is sure that if
anybody should laugh at her her SEN
sitive little heart would be broken. She
simply must appear to know it all,
whether she does or not.
Let us suppose for instance that
this particular little freshman is the
kind that does not know it all, and
whose only knowledge of college life
is that drawn from romances.
Such tales have fired her with a
desire for the higher education but
have left her absolutely ignorant as to
necessary details. She has never had
a friend in college, and so has only
the vaguest notions about how her
room should be furnished
You will find that you Will have no
choice as to the papering and that the
floor will, in all probability, be stained,
in preparation for the rug that You will
have to supply. You will probably find
Il bed, of the plainest possible sort, a
bureau. couple of chairs, and a table
If your purse is scanty, you may
make use of what is provided, and add
only what you actually need. But if
YOU have an indulgent father, and if
your bedroom is destined to do duty
as a study also, then it would be better
to conceal bed and toilet apparatus in
some way.
Box touches are nice for college
girl, for so many things can be kept in
side. but if you expect to entertain
friends over night, then an extension
couch would be preferable However,
after you have been at college awhile
YOU will discover what truly wonder
full facilities college girls have for
doubling up.
There was girl not so long ago at
one of our colleges who would fire.
quently take some particular chum into
her narrow bed, surrender the couch
in her study to two more, and make up
a bed on the floor for as many as cared
to partake Of her hospitality. Then
in the morning they would forget to
tell the maid where all the bed clothes
came from.
So you can see that the, box couch
would be a convenience besides being
fully capable of filling the bill for any
emergency.
Davenport Bed for the Upto Date.
The girl who prides herself on being
always up to the moment will no doubt
strike papa for a davenport bed, for
these always look elegant, and are be-
sides not so frequently met with that
Your visitor would at once see through
your deception.
But suppose your father is not in
dulgent, or that You are squeezing
through within the narrow limits of a
scholarship. Then if the authorities
have provided a cot get an inexpen-

the cot on as many sides as will show.
and heap it up with pillows.
If YOU have a stenciling outfit you
could get some tan colored linen. and
paint and make up the entire outfit for
very little money and in a fairly short
time.
OF course your little makeshift will
deceive no one, but then it will look
