MUSIC: STUDENT LIFE.
Stories of Unconventional Ways OF

How the college girl lives has often been de-
scribed and pictured. The everyday existence
of young women musical students in large city

IT is one that hasn't often been truthfully
told without overlap of fiction. No subject

may not be admitted, not because the manage

the average writer feeling that students of
music and the fine arts must necessarily be
lheroughgoing Bohemians, proceeds to invent
oil manner of facts and fancies which he hasn't
actually seen in half hours inspection.
But the plain truth is that everybody who IS
at all familiar with student life in New York
or any other large American city knows that
the stories of rollicking. unconventional ways of
living which occasionally get into print are al
most invariably gross exaggerations, or, even
more often, inventions There are thousands of
music students in this city, and while they pass
pleasant enough and abundanty profitable
years of study they don't economic hair
