SOUTHERN MAID(NS
STOP CAR SERVICE
Students of Radnor College In
wade City Under Leadership
of President Eshman
Tour of City Accomplished Un-
der General Direction That
They "Must Be Good"

Two hundred little maids from Rad
nor college, Nashville, Tenn, who are
touring the west under the leadership
of their college president, A. N. Eshs
man, stopped the car service in lower
Market street yesterday morning when
they landed from the ferry boat.
Distinguished by their mortarboards
the collegians marched in double flle
to the five special cars awaiting them
and President Eshman ushered them
across the outer loop of the car track
with orders of Double quick" Keep
STEP" Look out for the cars His
anxious air attracted the attention OF
the car inspectors and policemen in the
vicinity and they rallied to the aid of
! their fellow man. The cars were
stopped until the last blue clad, soft
voiced Tennessee maid reached a place
of safety.
FIVE CARS FILLED BY GIRLS
! The five cars were filled with the
party, eager to see the Cliff house and
| Golden Gate park, and the question
as to which was to be visited first
nearly caused disturbance. Over the
sightseeing route they went, but the
wise men who should have explained
the significance of everything seen on
the way had forgotten their mega
phones and gave up the task after
brief addresses in their natural tones,
one confding to his motorman that he
couldn't make himself heard, so he
thought he might as we'll take a rest.
| After a stroll on the beach and
through Sutro gardens the party re-
turned to town, going in the afternoon
| to the park and other points of in
terest in the city.
4 NO TEACHERS WITH PARTY
| There are no teachers with the party,
but President Eshman is accompanied
| by his wife and the matron of the col
| llege, Mrs. S. s. Adams. In travelling
each senior has charge of a party of
six or eight girls, receiving her direc-
tions from the president.
One handsome leader confessed
that her party did get left behind some
times and she had a great deal of
] trouble with one Mary" two persons
being required to take care of her, one
to show her what she ought to see
and the other to remind her when TO
move on.
! The outsiders as the collegians
call the few relatives and older friends
who are permitted to enjoy the privi-
!
with leaders.
There are no elaborate rules gov
erning the girls those established in
! college prevailing on the trip. Col
| Ilege yells are strictly forbidden, but
otherwise the regulations seem to be
embodied in the remark of a little
black eyed Texan who said to an in
quirer. We must just be good girls
that's all
THIRD ANNUAL EXCURSION
The students are all clad in blue
serge tailor suits with dark blue silk
4 blouses and black mortarboards 1t
was said that IA states have contrib
uted girls to Radnor college, but all
| who did not come from the south must
have been silent yesterday Soft
voiced modest hammered lassies are
the Radnor college girls and all of
their fun is found in their own circle.
/ They have a special train of seven cars
and in these they remain throughout
the trip, save when sightseeing.
This is the third annual trip on
which President Eshman has taken his
collegians and they are enthusiastic
over their tours. Some of them have
travelled more than 10000 miles in the
last three years. but they say that the
western journey has been the best of
all. They left Oakland last night for
Salt Lake City, to journey thence
through Colorado on their homeward
way.
