CONVENTION

By K A T H E R I N E T O B I N M U L U N S

When the Beta at convention meets the brother Beta there,
When Kappa Sig or Zeta Psi "conventions" anywhere,
They smoke a cigarette or two, and tell a witty tale—
But the female at convention is more loyal than the male.

For she gathers in great numbers f r o m the east and f r o m the west
And her great judicial mind puts brand new theories to test;
She settles world-wide questions, and her judgments never f a i l ,
For the female at convention is much wiser than the male.

And when important things in her inimitable way
Are settled, and she closes up the business of the day,
She dances, sings, or acts a play, and sparkling words prevail,
For the female at convention is more clever than the male.

N . B.—We really don't believe these horrid things we say
But then they're surely just as wise as Rudyard's anyway.
He, cruel man, our pretty sex d i d foolishly assail—
Together, girls!—The female is much nicer than the male!

Yale chapter being always represented and the other chapter having a repre-
sentative about one-fifth of the time.

The third edition o f the Manual o f Phi Delta Theta is now in the hands of

A K E has only one official jeweler. S X had the same matter up at con-
vention and will probably adopt a similar provision.
