A college girl must, OF course, FIRST of
all develop her mind as far as possible.
but this does not mean that she must
or may forget the rules OF etiquette
laid down for all we'll bred girls.
whether at home, at college. in bust.
ness or In the social world.
She must talk I'm low tones. She must
be courteous TO all around her. respect
full to those who are older and consid-
crate Of those who are beneath her So
cially. She must learn TO converse in
an interesting manner without assert
ing her own opinions or trying I'm any
way to show a superior knowledge,
even upon subjects which she has
made her special study.
She must learn TO act the part OF
the graceful, courteous and interesting
hostess and also the charming and
well read guest. At all times she must
be the well bred. digni6ed. courteous
as well as interesting and clever col
lege girl
In the social world there is a tacit
understanding that we shall all be
agreeable TO one another, always put
ting the attractive things Of life on
the outside and keeping our private
woes to ourselves.
This IS n rule that none can afford TO
overlook-old or young, society girl,

Table Etious,ts.

The little difference between lifting
dish and showing It along makes
the big difference between a sloven
and the punctiIlous observer Of good
manners at the table and has an effect
IN marring the harmony Of the table,
whereby In cOngenialness and table en-.
joyment all are best conserved.
Sucking the fingers or teeth. picking
the teeth at the table before all are
done eating, gazing about the table
while drinking, tipping back the chair
on two legs, taking any Of the dessert,
as fruit, nuts or sweetmeats, away
from the table, IS the worst possible

The Girl Who Is Easy.

A girl who looks on while her friend

er good breeding is not old fashioned.
But 1t is not the girl who cares little
how she talks, where she goes unchap-
eroned or how free and easy she per
mits her man friends TO be who wins
out In the end.
How often does the quiet little mouse
of a girl. whom the other girls call n
prude or stick. take the catch of the
season and get invitations that her
easier friends want.
IT is hard ia this age TO have too
high Il standard OF self respect Per.
mittcd liberties are so much greater
than generation ago that one needs
watchfulness not 10 overstep the line
into liberty.
y girl need not be prude because
she does not believe in familiDritles Of
speech or touch. When once she has
made her position and standards clear
she can have just as good n time and
far more respect than her friend who
is easy"
Because girl is particular II does
not follow she must be slow. Given n
sense of fun. readiness TO be amused
