Rushing among the sororities at
Washburn, which began Monday of
this week, is going on under very try
ing circumstances. There must be not
more than four guests at any indoor
affair given and only twenty may be
asked when the party is held in the
open air. A number of open air
parties have been planned by the diff
ferent groups of girls, but the weather
of the past few days is not exactly
conducive to the most cheerful gather
ings in the gardens. They say, how
ever, that it is exciting for the mem
bers of the sororities," who have to
plan just what they may do to make
the freshmen see that they are sppre-
ciated.

JIM WHALEY'S MOTHER.
Old Bill, the postman on our street,
declares he'd like to change his beat,
because of Mrs. Whaley. She's living
just across the way-a little woman,
old and gray, who asks for letters
daily. She'll follow him with pleading
glance, and begs for just one note
from France; Bill tries to grin and
tries to scold her. Jim Whaley was
on Pershing's list last month"; list
his mother missed-and no one ever
| nj oh
Will VOW, but in my throat a lump,
somehow, comes up each time she
greets me, and when I laugh and say,
| I'll bet stack of letters soon she'll
| get, her hopefulness plumb beats me-"
| Jim Whaley'S dead and in a hole, he
: did his work, God rest his soul, with
out faint of yeller.' His tragedy is
history But there's one more that's
bound to be, it's coming when they
tell her. N.S.A.
Mr.. Fred Worley, the youngest son

for the past ten weeks been attending
the ground school for naval aviation

course in flying. From Miami he will
probably be sent to Pensacola, Fla

Whadayu know about that trip in a
| large touring car which a little group
of five took last week without inform
| ing the wife of the fifth member, who,
by the way, was the host? I know
what some people would think about
it and am sure the injured wife would
be sorry for the sympathy wasted on
her husband On account of the long
office hours she thought he was put
ting in these days (and nights.
