Have you ever lived in a college
town, Penelope? If you have not you
will scarcely sympathize with girls
who must reside in a place where un
married society is dominated by under
graduates. While the girls are under
graduates themselves it is all very
well; but as soon as she Is graduated
a girl is "an old girl" and passe. It
does not matter if she is precociously
wise and was graduated at nineteen,
she is "an old girl." The seniors who
were juniors when she was a senior,
sophomores when she was a junior,
freshmen when she was a sophomore
and nothing when she was a freshman
regard her as a holy relic. They are
dumb in her presence and would not
think of asking her company to a rout
or jouste. During her four years of at
tendance, let me say at the university
of Nebraska located in Lincoln, she
was more or less of a belle and went
to all the university and fraternity
parties and never missed a dance. For
a young thing with a record like this
it is hard to be obliged to drink the
bitter beaker those who are hors
du combat must drink. There are
scores of pretty girls in Lincoln still
this side of twenty-seven who for six
or seven years have been regarded as
"old girls." This is not to say that se
clusion has not had a chastening effect
upon them. It has. And although
only their intimate friends know It,
they are more fit to reign than ever.
But a girl's day in Lincoln is short.
The sun rises in her freshman year and
sets forever at commencement. The
sororities let her down a little more
easily. The alumnae members are just
as interested in the active members
as they were in their own llowenng
period. Barbarians are separated by
the adamantine will of strangeness
from the undergraduates. There is one
exception Roscoe Pound. Custom can
not stale his spirits, nor crop after
crop of undergraduates, ever fresher
and fresher change his conviction that
l Svt?:

the undergraduates in the university
of Nebraska possess a profounder Judg
ment and better manners than the
students of any other fresh-water
school. Mr. Pound is a judge, but the
undergraduate university correspond
ent of the daily papers continues to
speak of him as "Itoscoe Pound," a
naive sign of their affectionate regard
for him.
In towns where men's schools nour
ish the lot of a girl who does not get
married at least in her fourth season
is not much more enviable. Such a
woman, young or old. Is called "the
widow." She is the relle or the alumni,
she is a bequest, and at the same time
she furnishes the undergraduates, who
are humorously the most impoverished
class in the world, with a subject of
perennial humor. Be thankful. Pen
elope, that you do not live in a uni
versity town, co-educational or other
wise. So Mr. Garelssen Is in Omaha again.
He has not favored Lincoln with his
presence since his return from "Your
up," but I have heard that he Is well
and still looking like his picture. What
changes occur In the ranks of Omaha
musicians from year to year A few
years ago Joseph Gahm and Hans Al
bert occupied the centre of the stage:
now Mr. Albert is gone and Mr. Gahm
is seldom heard in public. Of all the
sincere, unassuming musicians who
ever lived in Omaha and left it the
richer for their influence, the most
worthy of praise Is Mr. Butler. Un
selfish In his devotion to his beloved
art, the friend of young musicians, a
loyal advocate of the right of the
masses to hear good music generally
reserved for the favored few when
will the man arise to take his place? I
am glad we had the privilege of hear
ing him in Lincoln before his removal
to Seattle. Adieu, ELEANOR.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7. 1901.
