Gflrfuzqiolz SH Now, across the Hill on Iewell Street, the next stop was that beautiful southern man- sion, the home of Kappa Al- pha men until the war, Ar- lington Hall. Set back on a spacious lawn, surrounded by evergreens and tall poplars, Arlington has served as a dormitory for girls the past few years. When we arrived a few minutes after our stop at Melrose, the lights from the long windows greeted us as we rang the bell. Inside, we ,,..-f-.q...-.......-- ,--.-- ,.......- ...,... -.,,.....--.,,,,.1- ....,....- ,...1...---.-Q. v Q f fjyff ,ff I 61 , f f f aa 4 4 found Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Davidson, Pop and Davy to the I9 girls who live here, sitting by the long shelves of books, trying to decide which one to select for reading until more pressing duties called. Arlington has been the scene of many good times for both faculty and students. Teas, and parties, with a roaring Hre in the fireplace, music around the piano, hours of talk and fun, have given it an air of gracious hospitality. Even the two dogs who greeted us languidly on the veranda were, if not exactly hospitable, at least tolerant and let us approach the door without any obvious signs of hostility. We were introduced later to these self- elected protectors of the Arlingtonlites, and found their names were L'George and Charlie.' It is only natural that the southern gentlemeni' should want to reclaim once more their Georgian mansion as soon as con- ditions permit, but the 1 20 . ,. i 1 girls who have lived . there will always re- if member the fun and good times they had there in the Arlington,' days.

First on the list was Mel- rose Hall. We climbed the long flight of steps leading to the entrance, rang the bell and were greeted by Mrs. Fristoe, the gracious house-mother. It was just after dinner and sev- eral of the girls were sitting in the reception hall reading. Mrs. Stanley, the dietician and superintendent of the dining hall had just opened her maga- zine to show an article to the girls who looked over her shoulder. The evening paper was the object of attention for the other three girls and Mrs. Fristoe. We took the picture, thanked the girls, Mrs. Fristoe and Mrs. Stanley, threw away the used flash bulb, and started off on a tour of the on our way down the sloping drive. Melrose houses more than seventy lively co-eds who find time for study, midnight snacks, bull- sessions, and sometimes, even sleep, in the regular 24-hour day. f Ali, 6 4 , 1 A4 Q? , Q 2 ag Q . 19

We trudged on up the hill then, toward the Sigma Nu House, which like other fraternity houses has been turned over to the women for the duration. This year Hilltop has been home for about fifteen girls living there with Mrs. Nellie our picture, we thought, so we took it there. Hilltop is far from the campus but if this is a disad- vantage, there are other things to make up for it, its superb view from the second story porch, for instance, with the Missouri River visible on a clear day. lt's close to town, too, and that helps when the curfew is at eight o'clock and you just have to run down- town for a coke before you be- gin to study algebra or Greek. With a quick glance at our synchronized watches, we knew we must go on to our next assignment. We took two shots just to be sure, slipped the used bulbs into the vase on the piano, shook hands all around, wondered a little at the stunned expressions this caused and left. We were halfway across the hill to Parker before we realized that the combined force of the onions had been a little staggering. No wonder the invitation to return which we ac- cepted so heartily was given rather faintly. Oh well, the breeze was stiff and blew away the offensive onions, and there was Parker not far away. . .
