College stories; Women college students -- Juvenile fiction
"Yes, and I've been thinking I'd invite Constance Huntington out for
the play and have a rabbit afterward. I haven't made anything but
fudge in my chafing-dish since I bought it, and it's about time I did.
We could have ten or twelve of the girls in after the play and get
permission to stay up a little later than usual. I think I'll write
Connie to-day and invite her out. Would you mind sleeping with Anne
Cockran that night so Connie could have your bed?"
"Why, of course not, Jean; I'd be glad to do it and anything else I
can to help you. Who's in the play?"
"I don't know many of them, but Peggy Allison is to be a man and Alice
Cunningham's got the star girl's part. They say she's a wonder when
it comes to acting. Then Bess Atherton and Joe Knight and Fliss White
and Mary Brownell are in it, but I don't know the rest very well. None
of the girls from my division are in the club, for you have to be at
least a soph, to be eligible and then only a small proportion of the
upper-class girls make it, for you have to get high rank in French. Oh
dear, I'd never make it if I studied a hundred years. I can't seem to
get it through this stupid old head of mine, and as for talking it and
acting it too--why, it's simply beyond my comprehension."
Jean wrote her letter to Constance and soon received word that she
would be delighted to accept the invitation and would be out early in
the afternoon, but she would have to take the first train back in the
morning as she had a lesson at noon.
