ELSIE JANIS, As

Her Charming Personality Over

Just before the final curtain. in time
to give a triumphant baa at an au-

Cynthia, the coed. enjoys the bliss
full distinction of being the only girl in
Bingham College. OF all her rah-rah
suitors she prefers one Davy Dicker-
son, who for six years has been almost
trying to get a degree. attending classes
only when he has no other engagement.
One day Cynthia's guardian appears-
He reads a. section of the will of Gym
thia's father, in which he expresses the
hope that Cynthia will marry a man
who has obtained a degree at Bling
ham. Cynthia resolves to do his bid
ding, and Davy is plunged into the
depths of despair, for a degree looks as
doubtful to him as Cooks pole looks
to Peary. In high dudgeon he packs
his college rags" in two suit cases
and starts on the trail of the second
hand clothes man, after which he pro-
poses to run a trolley car at IS per
