They think they are just too smart for any use because they got more invitations to the next 3?si party than Our Girls did. Never mind, Psyclonia Stevens is going to give a party real soon, and she says she shant invite one of them." Calypso: "Servo them just right. But wo mustn't let them have Lavender or they will be worse than over. I don't think much of their new initiates anyway. That Ethel berta Sidles is a perfect stick, and that Miss O'lloolihan that they are so proud of getting and who refused " Gladys: "Why Calypso! You know that's not so at all.

She is one of tho Sweetest Girls in our fraternity. She is awfully popular, too one of tho Zota boys walked home with her ono day last week." Calypso: "Yes, and you ought to see her now party dress, girlie. It's too lovely for anything. There isn't a -dress to equal it in that whole Delta Lambda fraternity. They boasted so much about that Sidles girl's graduating dress 'so complete,' you know red dress, fan, sash, slippers, stockings. id n: it
