And another girl who was not used
to the rushing plan couldn't under
stand why these older girls were being
so kind to her and was worried about
all the money they were spending on
her and insisted on doing rushing
stunts-luncheons, football games,
etc.-dutchi
And there was the girl several years
ago who sent two acceptances, ex-
planning to one group that she must
be late to pledge service because she
had to go to the other place and be
pledged there first. Such charming
naiveity is harder to find these days.
And there IS the story about two
sorority representations that lined up
opposite one another at a girls home
and argued and plead openly. But
that is not a story to tell. Neither is
the one about the girl who was literal

Miss Peggy Hagar, who Is remem-
bered by many Topeka people, is
breaking into print in many of the
California papers and in the movie
magazines. At present Miss Hagar is
secretary to the famous Madam Ma
zimova. Prior to this she helped to
