Students Returning From Colleges For the Holidays.

Mothers are planting tender kisses upon the lips of the boys and girls whq have been awar at college, greeting them for the holiday vacation. The first break in many homes comes when the boys and girls leave for their colleges and after that they are only home for short periods of time and the mother’s kiss means more than words can tell, expressing tenderest love, pride and confidence, all tinged with regret because o*f the knowledge that all the years of devotion have led up to a parting will be almost permanent. The holiday vacation 'will be a merry ope, the young people gathered from the various colleges being entertained in numerous ways and really fathers and mothers see very little of the children even during the brief vacation. Among the girls and boys to come home are the following: Misses Marion Parker and Edith Sawin, of the Western College for Women at Oxford, and Emil Hanley, of Miami college at Oxford; Edward Honan, of DepauW; Miss Nell Sawin and Russell Warren, Russell Van Arsdel, Harry English and George Healey, of Indiana; Vic Hoover, Ransom Sawin, Kenneth Groom and Charles Harris, of Purdue; Miss Nell Meyers and .

N. Y.; and Miss Lura Halleck, of Oberlin, Ohio, Misses Florence and Eileen Allman, of Northwestern University, and probably some others whom our reporter has missed.

Miss Marjorie Loughridge, who attends Western at Oxford, has gone to Springfield, Ohio, but will spend part of the vacation at home. Cope Hanley, who attends Colorado -University at Boulder, will not get home.
