Scene V.-Miss Sloan's Room. Time.-April 8th, 8. P. M. Speakers Senior Girls. Marianna.-"I think that we should stop the hostess business right away." Sloany.-"Yes, but I have learned to know the boys up here and like them, and in two weeks more will be with my lambs." Elsie.-"I heard the funniest thing at breakfast, all about the boys taking-out to hunt snipes." Nell.-"Yes, it is nice, we learn all the news, and have learned to be fine house-keepers." Mary.-"Well, I say keep on until the end of the year--" Ella.-"Yes, I say so, then I will get to Hunt's table." Grace.-"Don't you know that at breakfast my boys got Elsie up by telling her that her feet did not touch the floor, and they are going to bring her a cigar box for a foot stool. She got as red as anything; and then they got Hennie up over the same thing." Elsie.-"Yes, and I think that they are snippy; they were mean, too, when Will came in to supper last Sunday . evening, " Grace, not heeding the remark.-"I gave my boys a lesson in girls' style of dress, about ruches, berthas--" Carrie.-"And that Zeke told me that my collar was pretty. I wish he would-" Mary.-"They certainly are impolite at times in regard to personal matters, but boys will be boys, and you know we all talk about-when he wears a red and blue shirt and a green tie and purple cuffs, so we must forgive the boys." Marianna.-"Yes, that is just the way, you take up for boys because they are boys. I don't like them, and won't go to the tables." Daisy(aside).-"She is mad with Will this week, that accounts for such opinions." Sloany.-"I think that we are doing a work of charity for the College by saving meat bills to aid in building the new gym; and I am sure it adds to our popularity in "Parlor," and keeps us from being late in the mornings and makes us thinner and makes the boys cultivate patience and stop complaining of beef-steak, and so I say let's keep on until the end of the year. " All agreed. 192
