L Through ill Triumph met this darling member who knew me from a party at the beach last vear. She couldn't believe that I wvas the one who created such ex -itement over losing my charm bracelet in the ocean that night. Oh, well, I guess not enough people met me to get an over-all opinion. I tell you, they really go all out for these parties. We always sang lots of songs, and they put on dLarling little skits. At one party I told this girl she looked like Vanessa on "Love f Life." And she paid me the sweetest compliment back. She said I looked exactly like Eliza beth Taylor in "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof." That same night, however, I dropped my gum on the rug in -he sorority room and accidentally itepped on it. Needless to say, I idn't get invited back. But honestly, I simply adore the worority I pledged. The girls are great, and they all hang around *eth the sharpest boys. One of the girls dates Harvey Blanchard - you remember Hiar fey, don't you. He used to play he banjo for the Snell Grove lombo. He's still as precious as wver, and he's cut off his long side urns and grown a goatee. Harry's etting me a date with one of his raternity brothers next week. His ame is Howard Starr, and he's iupposed to be a distant cousin fone of the "Beatles." Well, I've got to go now. I'm go ng to the library with some of my orority sisters. They say that's he greatest place to meet boys ~rater'nity boys. By the way, D)addy, send me a check for $10.00.

I made it-I'm a member of a sorority. I just wish you could have shared every wonderful min ute of it with me. Why, do you know I received seven invitations to the first preferential parties? I'm sorry, but I had to cut Aunt Dilly's sorority the first night. There was this girl in it who met Aunt Dilly in California last sum mer-you know, the time she was there for that nudist convention. Aunt Dilly has changed a lot since her college days. So, I selected five out of the seven invitations. By the way, Daddy, I had to buy a hat for the afternoon teas. I guess $25 is a lot to pay for a hat, but I found one that went perfectly with that char treuse suit I bought in New York this year. I'm sorry. Mother, but your so rority cut me the second time around. I can't imagine why. I The most walked about Slacks on Campus contain "DACRON"*.
