Some students believe that the selection
Of April Gs All Fools Day was only a

from January. the old New Years re-
mained for long time In use. This 40
counts for the frequent employment OF a

Among the foremost rules OF etiquette
for a gentleman is the one about removing
hats in m elevator where there are ladies
md Yet Mr.. Kratz never heard Of such -
ridiculous thing" I doubt II this gentle
man ever gave his seat to woman in n
trolley car.
am glad TO know that only men like Mr..
Krat2--who, ! personally believe. never had
any respect for women. In spite of the fact
that theS are always preaching our grand
mothers TO us--sti'l hold out against the
equality OF women.
Men OF intellect who have thought the
matter over can see that q woman can still
be Of the ''gentler SEX although she can
work for living and need not depend
upon some man to support her.
