Society at the University of Kan
SaS, which is a society with customs
all of its own, has been shocked and
surprised.
One K. u. coed has a maid.
This lis the first time in the his
tory of the institution, SO far as is
known, that a girl student has main
tanned a maid. This K U. girl comes
| from 'teffete'' Kansas City, Mo-, and
she lives in a suite of rooms in one
of the best houses in the student dis
trict. 1t is said among the students
| that she rented the rooms so that
| there would be no other co-eds liv-
ing in the same house with her.
When a young man calls on this
young woman he is met at the door
by the maid who takes his hat, coat
and stick and says in regular maid
fashion,:
''Ill tell Miss So and So that you
are waiting"
This form is making such a hit with
the K. Z. men that the girl will have
to hire secretary to keep track of
her dates pretty soon. The men are
just falling over themselves trying to
show the distinguished coed that
they approve of the style she sets.
| They send her flowers, take her out to
dinner, buy boxes for her at the foot
ball games, and take her motor riding.
Then, too, the girl is pretty, with
lovely titan hair and dark blue eyes.
Her maid keeps her faultlessly gowned
in the latest frocks, and her mani
curing is the pink of perfection. She's
quite, the class of Mount Dread, just
ask any K. U. man and he'll tell you.

The Phi Delta Theta men of Wash
burn college will give a smoker to-
night at the chapter house for the
alumni members.
Gossip at the parties still turns to
Washington and the matrimonial af-
fairs of the chief executive. One of
the pretty women at Saturdays party
gives out as the latest she knows, a
conversation she heard, something
like this: 81 wonder how the presi-
dent would feel if his wife should
appear again, as though she wasn't
dead, in dream, maybe"
Il think" the answer was, that
he would be dreadfully disappointed"
