New Haven. Jan. 15.-"Prom" week with its round of festivities IS less than three weeks off and there Is the us- ual hustle of filling the programmes for the AZ dances, besides extras, or that delirious night, of arranging box as at the arrnory and accommodations at the Taft and the countless other things that the Prom "fusser' must do for his fair guest and her chaperone. But since it easily costs S150 to S2Oo for these three or four days of Yale hos pitality( the tourist rate at the hotel IS S7 a day for a room and it must be taken for four days) there are quite number who have to leave their fair ones at home. It's a lucky man who brings his girl clear from Chicago or Louisville or even Denver, to dance at the glittering Junior Prom But that doesn't mean that his more embarrassed (pecuniari- lv focourse) college mate is left out in the February cold. This chap has some advantages all his own. In fact, he's quite indispensable, for when the escort proper begins to get Tagged out, then steps in the fresh, young stag
 to keep the ball rolling and the young lady constantly in motion. That's the physiological significance of the cere- mony, now quite permissible ana proper at the Prom" of "cuttlng-in
 It happens this way: At the teas and at the class Germans which precede Prom" night. the "Stags" get to know quite a bevy of their classmates guests and in consequence they go to the big event fairly well foruhed. After the main part of the Number, there are encores, generally ' three, sometimes a short fourth. The sta g can "cut-in' for any or all of the en- cores. if he knows the girl, and he does if he has improved his opportunities |, at the teas. He simply walks up to her partner and bids him depart If he does it nicely, the latter does so. And so the stag has. his fun, and the ''fus- ser is rested up for the next dance, and the girl is kept in the heavenly whirl as long as she desires.
