girls were bent ON judicious mixture
OF missionary work with our fun this
year. Our college 10 establishsd on The
co-education basis, and the boys car
tainly did "cut up last Halloween
disgracefully. making 1t uncomfortable
Tor professors and students for . long
time afterward. So this year. you ses.
We girls made mp our minds to do
something to entertain them and keep
them from indulging their mischiev-
ous proclivities. OF course, We can't
understand where the fun comes In Of
the stupid things boy students do ON
Halloween, but We do want to stop
1t II We can. and that was the reason
why We made up our minds to csls-
brate it with masquerade this year.
The boys were In raptures at the
idea. and set about hiring costumes for
the great event. Some Of the richer
girls did the same. but - for us-well,
We had NO money. and 1t first sight It
simply meant being shut out from the
whole thing.
OF course. a. misery loves company,
We all met diseonsolate in Loeta's
room. If any one could console NJ n
would be Leota. but to our surprise
she did not attempt anything Of the
sort. She and Addie, the bright Kan
sas girl. looked ~ gay ~ robins. and
What are you going to be?' became .
mutual interchange.
We sat round the room. Leota smil-

glances in her direction. Al they said,
1T was worse for them than for the

had only one purse between them: the
contents Of said purse when raked fore

Kitty Pringle. however. was worss
on still. for she laughingly produced
nve cents - her all for immediate

"One can hardly 90 far astray On I've
cents." was her somewhat rusful ~
mark.
Kitty. like the rest Of ~, vas work
ing her way through college: 20 whsn
this IL considered It viii b readily un-
derstood that the time to spare for gst-
ting mp . ball costume ON odds and
ends was scant enough. I can tell
you. We girls who work our way
through college want education!
But TO 60 back to Leota's room. Ad-
die. our inspiration. was not the least
put out 1t the empty purses displayed
before her.
"Of course We shall all 70 to the
ball. and Of course We shall get up
dresses somehow" said she cheerily.
