tial family, poppy, a good student,
athletic, a good dancer, possessed of
some gift or talent, easy to meet,
good natured, interesting and with
fat pocketbook. Are you all of these
things, girl-about-to-enter col
lege? Then 1 can guarantee you will
be bid by some desirable sorority. But
II you are not, do not despair. For
listen: the most rushed girl at K. U.
one year was earning part of her own
way and had only steamer trunk of
clothes. At Washburn once long ago
the worst fight of the year was over
a girl whom everyone conceded was
very homely and the best loved girl
of a prominent x. S. A. c. sorority
was lame and unable to do any of the
active things most girls excel in. So
there is no hard and fast rule. A
very pretty girl. bright. clever. APP
parently pleasant was the despair of
a Baker chapter for four long years.
She just didn't fit. And that is the
points after all: Will she fit? Let her
clothes be serge or satin and her
mind quick or slow. 1t doesn't mat
ter specially, but does she have that
quality that makes her belong?
And the pathetic thing about 1t is
no one knows whether she will fit I'M
til she is tried and then it is too late.
It's like getting married-you never
can tell. So again there is no hard
until the pin is yours. And even then
the worry may just be begun.

LIZZIE, PLEASE BE REASONABLE.
I notice in the paper that Lizzie
will cut capers, is going to try to can
those cigarets. She'll call upon the
law, in methods mild and raw, but
she'll find she's grabbed the hardest
sob, as yet. She's going to fire all
men. who smoke the paper yen, and
can high school and college guys; she's
going to get real gay, and like booze,
she'll lay away the poor down-trodden
pill we love to fly. Now, I'm only
penny there are thousands who will
think the same as I, that if Lizzie
would get busy, and stop this foolish
quizzy, she'd spend more time on the
job she holds SO high. N. S. A.
