Hnsvoers to Inquiries. CRU4si-1 I-Ioxrox flf you buy a dozen different editions of Virgil's Aeneid, you can, no doubt, obtain a complete trans- lation from the notes. LELLII-1 Nawsox-XVe advise you to substitute the ironing board for the key board. l3lLL1P l,HURSLEYf-XYOl1llQ men do not usually raise a moustache until over twenty-one, but of course there are excep- tions. A good razor can be bought almost anywhere for 332. A shave at a barber shop cost IO cents. DURGE RICGONALIJ -- Getting through recitations creditably without previous preparation is more ofa gift than an art. XVe know of no book on the subject. Yox Yoxsox-fThere are many anti-fat preparations on the market, but we positively cannot recommend patent medicines in these columns. Cnos. McToRAnCk4The fact that the teacher would not give you time to express your ideas on the subject would indicate that they were not worth listening to. llukxs Boeoexsse-See answer to Yonson. SPAUD NIERRY-NYC do not know the exact date on which VVilliam's College closes. Certainly, your eagerness to know is perfectly excusable. YALPH RARNELLE --lt is not exactly the custom for a young man to pay attention to a young lady twice his age, but if she calls you Sonny l suppose it is vindicable. l,Enl:Ek'1' li.-XN4ifOf course the Daisy is a charming flower, but you should not make your choice of nature's beauties so very evident. Q ARDENT Solfnoxloklir-XYe cannot see any sublime significance in your colors, such as you imagine. On the contrary, yellow is typical of small-pox and purple of easter eggs. Qll-QMAN Norms-X'Ve cannot state positively, but we believe that there are two or three other L'niversities besides Princeton in the l'nited States.

JANITOKJXNC know of no formula by which thermometer readings can be corrected after the instruments have been hxed. YON Yoxsox ffYes, itwas very unkind of those burly Freshmen to try to break up your class meeting and you did nobly to prevent it. - ' Q XVANNIE NILLIAx1sASarcasm is a figure of speechg and as such should not be indulged in too often. Miss HARION lX'IAR'rMAN!Tl1e feat you speak of is truly marvelous. Men have been known, in diving to describe ares with their bodiesg but we have never heard of one diving round a Corner. FLARENCE CRYER-XYCS, the custom of sending valentines is a very pretty oneg but I believe that it is in better form to refrain from signing your name. LALPH RANE'1Axlfl'l0L1gl1 your betrothed went to a dance with another, I should think it highly improper for you to walk home with them. CRALTER XVRIRI-If you would every night take your voice out and clean it good with a solution of lamp-black and Chicago river water, you would either lose your voice or its disagreeable features. RAY JEAD-NVe understand that no injury can result from wearing glasses made of common window glass. They often give a scholarly look to a person who is far from being such. SPAUD lN'lERRYMXVe admire your sense of propriety that does not permityour speaking the name, the attributes, and sur- roundings of his Satanic majesty. Perhaps you could get excused from taking Paradise Lost. RESSIE -lE1'rzE-Yes, we think you are growing taller every day. SEILM NMITH-A frock coat is hardly the thing to wear at school. Buttonhole boquets give a young man a foppish appearance. Don't blame them if they smiled at your wearing a frock coat with duck trousers at commencement. It is as bad as a girl wearing a summer hat and a seal skin cape. GRXVIN EDD'fTl16 thermometers are securely fastenedg but you might put some ice under the bulb. CRUGH HCJX'fON-Mlld stains may be taken out of sweaters by vigorous rubbingg the oyster smell will never come out. Send us a stamped envelope and we will give you our formula for a hair raiser. POT EATERSfThC matting was burned by the janitor, after destroying the beautiful odor of the Chemical Laboratory. Try one of the drug stores. SAGUSTA EWAI.L1No doubt you are perfectly correct in imagining that you can take the valedictory at any College as well as at the High School, but you should refrain from saying so, lest people think that you are conceited.
