Discover Leak in System of
Dance Invitations and
Fraternity Affairs.

The girls of George Washington
are up in arms. The fair goods have
declared war on the male sex in gen
eral and on the members OF certain
university fraternity in particular.
Clustered in groups OF from six to
twenty, they are discussing the latest
outrage. .
Mere men walking along the street
no longer receive the fair smiles OF
good fellowship from the ladies.
Chances of hate and superiority in
stead are shot from. cleaning eyes
seen from between close-shut lids.
Arose on Recent Action.
And II all arose over recent action
of one OF the fraternities. j seemed
some OF the girls weren't being asked
20 all the dances. To avoid compiled,
tions arising over such situations, the
boys got their heads together 'and
thought.

one high-browed bespecktacled young
man. And straightway efficiency was
inaugurated.
The name OF each girl was put. on

And then I'll show them the hles.

And here she stamped her. foot.
The reporter was q mere man. He
hadn't ever filed anybody. but slow

he went forward.
And the feelings OF this certain
lady II manifest among the other co-
