Cream or lemon? It is tea time in the new College tea room, conducted under the supervision of the dietetics students of the home economics department. Opened on Oct. 16, the tea room is al ready a tremendous success, and gay groups may be found around the serving table between three o'clock and five on every afternoon. The nutrition majors take turns as hostesses at the buffet table and select their own menus according to their in dividual tastes. According to Miss Mabel Supplee, as sistant dietician, each hostess may be as original as she wishes in her table arrangements and in her menu prepara tion, but, she declares, the background of all originality should be good food. Miss Supplee, who studied at Penn State college and at Columbia univer sity, directs the following hostesses: Margaret Anderson, Esther Coleman, Mary Domes, Mary Irving, Mary Therese Kavanaugh, Katherine Kostakis, Jean O'Connor, Virginia Schmidt, and Margaret Walsh. Hospitality, daintiness, and originality prevail in the atmosphere of the tea room, and the clubs are invited to hold meetings there.

Some original suggestions in regard to future life partners were: He must be blond ; He must understand women ; He must have a sense of humor.
