glovoB and hair but I know it's nothing to

Gladys: "She got it for tho next Psi

know wo aro usually tho belles. Perhaps
sometime you will bo invited too, Lavender
dear, if putting her arms around her) you
should over bo a Gamma Gamma Lambda.
I'm going to introduce you to some of tho
Psi boys after chapel. They aro tho flyest
boys in the University, and you know wo
aro right in with thorn. Once one of Our
Girls married a Psi sho was a lovoly girl,
too and she has been quite liko a mother
to them ever since."
CALYrso: uIf it was only last year, Lav
ender could go alright. Wo could give ono
of our leap year parties. Wo gave them

Gladys darling, and I'll go and look for her.
I'm almost sure 1 saw her talking with Eric

Lavender: "The best? Why, someone
that was in the class told mo .that Miss
Klingonspohr was not very good."

sho always crams up on tho Shakespeare
references in tho library, and knows Mrs.
Jameson's Shakospoaro's Heroines by heart.
But horo bIic comes again."

Gladys: "Where have you been, dear

some time."
Psyclonia: "Out in tho hall having a

sure that if Cal horo hadu't come and taken
me away, ho would have asked mo to ice
cream."
Gladys: "Frank Freshlet is another of
tho Zeta boys, Lavender."
Lavender: "Ice cream?"
Psyclonia: "Cert! I remember Georgio

rocky literary program. You ought to hear
