and we didn't think she'd come; only
two or three Of .'us girls" called upon hel
at the West hotel.
But the Delta Gamma sorority. Of Min
neapolls is now distressed to learn, never
theless, that the custard and the invita-
ton and the calls were thrown away last
winter upon Miss Marion Granger chorus
girl in 1.-THE Strollers'' comic opera COM
pany, and the daughter of a dancing mas
ter at Ann Arbor. Mich under the delu-
sion that she was a prima donna too i'll
to sing during the local engagement; that
she was a sophomore from Michigan uni
versity, and that she was pledged" a
Delta Gamma at Ann Arbor.
But the Minnesota boys Of Phi Kappa
Psi are really gratified to hear that they
entertained an angel unawares; that when
they thought they were lunching with
sister of Phi Psi of Michigan univer-
sity they were really providing chaperon
and the mildest of mild tea, at their
fraternity house, for mo. 3 in the front
row.
If they had nown she wasn't a prima
donna and a college girl as well, they
might have got her photograph in more
"
they'd have passed up that chaperon.
A senior asserts that he wouldn't have
ordered tea.
These afterthoughts, however, do not
diminish the young mems satisfaction.
They have sent a round robin to Miss
Granger congratulating 1.-The only show
girl ever entertained at our fraternity
a chaperon.'
1T was just this way" explained a
prominent Delta Gamma, whose personal
charms would have enabled her to eclipse
Miss Granger in her own profession. II
was Ill last winter shortly before Marguer-
tic Sylvia strolled into town.
I had a nurse. She was called to the
West to attend Miss Granger. Without
saying anything to her patient, the nurse
telephoned me the sick girl needed an
egg custard and couldn't get one from
the hotel kitchen. Would / send one
over! OF course I sent it, but I didn't
knowe who it was for.
Afterwards the nurse told me inciden-
tally that the patient was a Delta Gamma
like myself, but didn't say she was on the
stage. So two or three of the girls called
on her at the hotel. We sent her all invi-
tation when the next chapter meeting took
place at my sisters house. But It's all
q mistake to say that we gave the spe-.
cial entertainments for her. We didn't
rave aboue her-Delta Gammas never
rave. Maybe the boys raved; we didn't.
After she had gone away we got an
answer from the Ann Arbor chapter and
they said she had never been inside the
university, that her father kept dan
cling school ddown there that her name
was Luella Granger, and that she was
only a show girl in the chorus.
I must say, tho, that she seems to
have been led into the mistake by what
the nurse did and I'm sure Miss Granger
was a very intelligent, well hammered girl.
And the Delta Gamas are too broad
minded to think it's a, slam at any girl
to say that she sings In light OPERA
Meanwhile various managers have their
Eyes on Miss Granger as a Conner who
las discovered new way to get decently
before the public eye.
