A good _menu_ at this season would be the following:
Chops with Pease and Potatoes Parisienne.
You may vary the bill of fare in any manner you choose. It may be very simple or very elaborate, but let everything be nicely cooked and very daintily served.
After the luncheon you will of course have speeches. The president opens the ball, having first rapped for order. She introduces the speakers of the occasion, who have been consulted beforehand, and who have had subjects assigned to them. There will be a great deal of fun, and many ripples of laughter, and at the very end you should sing the class song to some familiar air. I ought to have said that I like at the beginning of such a luncheon some acknowledgment of our Heavenly Father's goodness. The president may recite grace. "Bless, O Lord, this refreshment to our use, and us to Thy service," is a very beautiful and appropriate form; or, rising, the whole number may say grace in common, or may sing "Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow."
No end of pleasure and a good deal of profit will follow your forming such an association. Many schools and colleges now find it one of the most delightful incidents of their lives.
C. F. R.--In addressing older people or friends of one's own age it is customary to say "Yes, father," or "Yes, Miss Isabel," as the case may be. "Yes, sir," and "Yes, ma'am," are now out of fashion. To your second question, it depends on circumstances. I see no reason why boys and girls should not be comrades, without any silly sentiment to spoil their pleasure. Black specks and other disfigurements of the skin may be cured by rigid cleanliness. Wash the face every night with hot water and a pure toilet soap.
