Washburn college play, 1.-The ANA
IONS" to be given next week at the
Grand. She will take the part of Lady
Cast1ejordan, the English noblewo-
skirt than they did ball, and so they
refused to wear the skirts. Once more
| the teacher asked her pupils to wear
tbloomers. With them basketball prac-
Itice went along beautifully and the day
| for game with another girls team
approached. Then in misguided mo-
ment the instructor invited the boys of
| a neighboring school over as guests at
| the game.
The afternoon of the event arrived
| and the star player failed to appear.
EShe had found out that the boys were
| to be in the audience and simply could
mot appear before them wearing
ibloomers. The teacher pleaded, the
girl wept, the other girls tried their
Inland at persuading, cajoling and in
turn wept, but no use, the girl wouldn't
tcome out. So the poor half distracted
teacher tactfully explained the delicate
tsubject to the dozens of boys who were
lensconsed very comfortably about the
Gymnasium and asked if they wouldn't
kindly go on home, which they bluntly
srefustd to do. But says the story
1.-THE young men finally departed
ssauntering off down the campus grum-
8bling to themselves about the change
AabIeness of womankind.
"And yet" comments reader of
1.-The story, "if We remember correctly
Nnot so many ages ago, the little girls,
lIbig girls and all wore panta1ets, hang
hing below their skirts. Who of US
nowadays would walk down the street
lIwith even the ruffle on our petubock-
Iers shining from beneath our skirts ?
II ooh. well, it's all in the way one
