WHAT POPULARITY
COSTS AT COLLEGE

'Helen had to leave for college
nearly a week earlier this year because
she's president of her class and must
be on hand to receive the freshmen
as they arrive" remarked a proud
mother.
And that class presidency has cost
me a thousand dollars already" in
terrupted the girls father dryly. How
much are you going to add to 1t this
year?"
Many a father of fair colleglan has
asked this same question. A class pres
ident frequently pays a round price in
good money for her popularity. This
does not mean that she actually buys
votes, but she becomes popular through
her attentions to other girls and her
social standing; in other words, she
achives popularity and the presidency
of her class through liberal expendl-
lures.
In the colleges for women where the
social life is strongly emphasized, the
president must be born leader. At
other colleges she may owe her posi-
ton to her intellectual attainments
or to her personal charm. A girl who
is in her junior year at a college of
more than national fame offers these
Illuminating suggestions:
Il have seen girls enter upon their
freshman year with only one ambition,
and that to become president. A
clever girl does not carry this fact
embroidered on her sleeve, but the
knowing ones recognize the symptoms
For instance, a girl makes some phe-
nomenal record either in the lecture
room or on the athletic field, or she
may have an article published in the
college magazine which attracts fav-
orable comment. Whatever her
achievement, the would-be president
sends her a congratulatory note with
perhaps a box of candy or some flow
ers. She also keeps birthday book
and remembers the natal day of every
girl whose influence is worth while.
She is usually a girl whose room is
most attractive. whose fudge dish Is
most prolific, whose afternoon teas
are daily affairs. She is soon recog-
nized as a hostess. She gives little
luncheons and dinners at the smart tea
rooms, which are now found in every
college town. She entertains her class
in instalments-slx or seven at time
and picks out each group Of guests
with the skill of a confirmed dinner
giver.
These tea rooms are conducted by
women Of taste and refinement, often
in reduced circumstances, and they
know how to give the little function
