Boose.-"That's all right Paul, don't worry, next week you will have your feet under your own table." All.-"Ha, hal Good!" Levin.-"Well I don't admire very much the way Miss Clark has changed the boys at our table. Prof. Watts said they should sit as always." Alkie.-"I was never a happier boy in my life than when I found I could take the head of the table. Now I won't have to keep my collar and cuffs so clean and--" Boose.-"Your shoes brushed." Bucky.-"Yes babe, but I don't like that much, I am just in a position where I can't smile at my girl." Ellie.-"Ah, well Becky, she will smile at you, and that will make it all the same." Shammie.-" 'Yes,' I like it down there, 'yes'." G. L.-"Well I don't like anything about it. When the hostess sits and watches every mouthful that goes down your throat." Ben.-"Well that shows that she is interested and wants to see that you swallow no dirt." Alkie.-"Ben's getting bright." Paul.-"Well I nearly starved for dinner.

Boose.-"Would you know if I would tell you?" Shammie.-" 'yes'." Boose.-"I am writing to another girl." Alkie.-"Yes, I know how you are writing to her-going down there and making her flunk in English the next day." Boose.-"Who comes up to see you that you flunk in English every day?" 186
