The salaries of our college professors have not risen proportionately with
the H. C of I. and it becomes necessary that Professor Dobey should
patronize a more moderate priced tailor. It was Mrs. Dobey who dis
covered the "college cut" tailoring shop, "and." said that lady. 'it

cloth"." Something seems to have gone wrong, although the professor,
who is accustomed to leaving it all to the tailor, can't figure out what it is.

Mr. Seltz lives in a hotel,
and the restaurant bill has
become an item to worry
over so that any lump
sugar, or a roll left over, is
taken up to the room, pro
vided no one is looking.
Now Mr. Seltz is. unfort
unately, absent-minded at
times, and. it was hard to
explain why he should have
emptied the contents of the
sugar bowl into his pocket
at Mrs. Brown's little dio-.ner.
The overseas hat which
Lilyan's soldier boy has
brought her has been a great

coming she will be nicely
fixed for the autumn.

Mrs. Wilkie has no intention of tipping the waiter not a bit of it her chop
was overdone or maybe it was the check, which she had to wait for. Tipping
