No Butter at Vassar.

The announcement at Vassar college
that no more butter will be served al
dinner has caused much discussion. but
the girls promise to give the plan a
trial, says New York World. 1t is a
war measure, established on account
OF the high cost of living. The girls
viii have gravies, jellies and jams to
take the place of butter. 1t was said
that the college would lift the ban
on butter for dinnep just as soon as
there were any complaints.
The hard-b6iled egg for breakfast
is doomed, too; at least il must not be
served where omelet is to hs had.
Because most of the girls have a
sweet tooth. the college authorities
will increase the sugar service at all
meals; but this will be eyened up by
cutting down OF meat.
