ee oranges, a lemon, three of gin, to one of
vermouth, with a dash of bitters. Serve cold.
The Ritz. Take taxicab and fifty dollars. If you have only fifty dollars
the filet of sole Marguery is very good.
Brooklyn Bridge. Terrible. And their auction is worse.
When you have visited all these places, it will probably be time to take
the train to your school.
THE FIRST DAYS IN THE NEW SCHOOL
The first week of school life is apt to be quite discouraging, and we
can not too emphatically warn the young girl not to do anything rash
under the influence of homesickness. It is in this initial period that
many girls, feeling utterly alone and friendless, write those letters to
boys back home which are later so difficult to pass off with a laugh.
It is during this first attack of homesickness also that many girls,
in their loneliness, recklessly accept the friendship of other strange
girls, only to find out later that their new acquaintance's mother was a
Miss Gundlefinger of Council Bluffs, or that she lives on the south side
of Chicago. We advise: Go slow at first.
BECOMING ACCLIMATIZED
In your first day at school you will be shown your room; in your room
you will find a sad-eyed fat girl. You will be told that this will be
your room mate for the year. You will find that you have drawn a blank,
that she comes from Topeka, Kan., that her paw made his money in oil,
and that she is religious. You will be nice to her for the first week,
because you aren't taking any chances at the start; you will tolerate
her for the rest of the year, because she will do your lessons for you
every night.
Across the hall from you there will be two older girls who are back for
their second year. One of them will remind you of the angel painted on
the ceiling of the Victory Theatre back home, until she starts telling
about her summer at Narragansett; from the other you will learn how to
inhale.
A VISITOR FROM PRINCETON
About the middle of the first term your cousin Charley Waldron, that
freshman at Princeton, will write and say that he would like to come
up and see you. You go to Miss French and ask her if you can have your
cousin visit you. She sniffs at the "cousin" and tell's you that she
must have a letter from Charley's father, one from Charley's minister,
one from the governor of your state, and one from some disinterested
party certifying that Charley has never been in the penitentiary, has
never committed arson, and
