Would Mend the Manners.

Mrs. Miriam N. LOOMS, at a meet
ing Of the Home Econopics confer
ence at Chautauqua, said that girls in
some of the leading colleges throw
bread and cake at one another at the
table and some of the hotels require a
fee before they will serve students be-
cause of bad manners. She thought
the table should be the center of the
social life of the school, as it is in the
home. Why should it be necessary for
young men and women to apologize
for college manners?
