"Is my frat pin in place?" "Is my collar on straight?" "What does my hair look like any way?" Then a wild scramble for the door, but with slow and faltering steps they descend the stairs to the dining hall and you may hear a breathy whisper from the bottom steps. "Say, I feel just like I was going to get married." Scene IV.-Miss Sloan's Room. Time.-Immediately after dinner, January J6, J904. Speakers.-Senior Girls. Sloany and Cad came up together and were calmly talking the matter over until one by one the other girls burst in, brimming over with excitement and with the tell-tale pink cheeks. Elsie.-"Well, my boys were all right, but they got me up and-" Erma.-"I didn't have enough potatoes to serve all, I felt--" Nell.-"I think it fun; say, Erma, I have the finest table, the Freshmen-" Mary C.-"It will do. I acted very dignified, and--" Daisy.-"What did you talk of?" Mary C.-"About Manchuria, and the Japanese, and--" Sloany.-"My table is fine, the lambs, the Prep. table." Erma.-"I want to go get back to our nice long table where we can talk about everything and everybody." Grace.-"I had so many plates to serve that I couldn't see over them." Edith.-"My boys kept passing and passing me the bread." May.-"I think it awful. I don't know them and they won't talk. I will not go down for breakfast." And so they talked and talked and declared they hated it-only a few spoke a good word for the boys; then they went in Parlor and talked it over with the boys, and they have been talking about it ever since.
