But, Captain." she asked, "how is it bu catch so very many dear, little, tiny als?" "Well, you see," replied the Captain in Bs voice, hesitating as he hunted for a ord other than "females," which he lought objectionable, "you see, the Idles pup on the ice." ffiappa Copter off Delta BeltaBelta Fraternity influence Is one of the pow erful factors of university life by reason of the strong hold It has upon its own Individual members. The close friend ships of school life are reckoned by most students as among the most prized of the actual benefits of education. Young women, away from home, and attending such a school as Nebraska university, are to be considered happy and extreme ly favored in the existence of fraternity organizations. Nothing else can afford the girls such close and Ideal association with one another. Delta Delta Delta Is one of the younger fraternities In the University of Ne braska as it has been in existence here for about nine years. As a national or ganization the fraternity was founded at Boston university the night before Thanksgiving In the year 1888. From Boston, as a center, chapters have been granted throughout the eastern and southern states and west even to the Pacific coast, to most of the leading universities and colleges of the country. The national character of the society has made it a very universal instrument in promoting the "Greek Life" so treas ured and loved by college girls. Mrs. Sarah Bartlett Hayes of Boston is grand president and head of a grand council, to which is entrusted the national control of the fraternity. The official organ of the society Is the "Trident," published quarterly. This magazine contains re ports from the various chapters in the different colleges and leading topics of Interest to the members. You may know the TrI-Delta girl when you meet her by her crescent shaped pin enclosing three stars. The pin of the first degree is a small trident. But when once you have met her you are sure to know her sisters even with out the silver, gold and blue. Kappa chapter of Tri-Delta was found ed in the University of Nebraska in 1894. The advent of a new fraternity Into college circles is always a gala occasion for the Pan-Hellenic world. The girls who were to be initiated and form the charter membership of Delta Delta Delta in Nebraska received the mystic rites at Ashland the day after Thanksgiving at the von Mnnsfelde home. They were the following girls: Anita Mulr, Duty von Mnnsfelde, Nnn Frankish, Sarah Vore Taylor, Jo von Mansfelde, Mrs. Dorothy Bacon, Helen Riley, Anna Vore, Veda Wilson and Ada Du Bols. The sad part of fraternity life is the separation, and that, too, often distant, of the girls from one another after grad uation. Kappa hus been fortunate in the continued Influence and Interest of her llrst Initiates. Of these members Anna Vore and Sarah Taylor later enjoyed the distinction of election to Phi Beta Kappa and Nan Frankish Is now an instructor in the university of Nebraska. Tri-Delta has progressed In her work censtantly since then and may feel re paid by the results which have crowned the untiring efforts of those girls In their work as students and friends. The active membership of Kappa chapter at present numbers seventeen girls, all of whom are registered in the academic col lege of the university or In the school of music. The usual fall Initiation is held on Hallowe'en night of each year. The annual fraternity banquet Is held Thanksgiving eve in honor of the na tional founding of the fraternity. Three members are registered with the senior class of the university. They are Adnelle Cady of St, Paul, Clare Mackin of Omaha and Margaret Grlmlson of Schuy ler. Helen Adair of Kearney, who entered the university this semester, is pledged. Jeanette Palmer and Cleone Moore of Lincoln and Elizabeth Dovey of Platts mouth, have also received the first or Trident degree. This Is the first year the girls of Tri Delta have enjoyed the delights and comforts of a fraternity home. Such was the form of the welcome prepared for them by their town girls on return ing to school last fall. The solicitudes of parents and the kindness of the fra ternity's many friends have made the chapter house on Seventeenth and It a cozy and happy home. The alms of fraternity life nre Ideal and at the same time intensely genuine and the girls have found the chapter house a marvelous aid In their attain ment. A oung woman of twenty-eight upon returning home after a long absence was greeted by her old mammy with, "An so. Miss Caroline, yer ain't married ylt?" "No, Mammy, and I've about given up all hope." "Well, honey. It's powerful comfortln when ye cease to struggle, but It will be mighty disapp'lntln to yer maw." Pattle, aged two, came in with face and hands badly scratched. "Why, Pattle," said mother, "where did you get all those scratches?" "I dess kicky (kitty) wote on said the littie one, gravely. Mrs. Catterson Mrs. Peterby Is ting mean. Mrs. Hatterson In what way?
