That 'Varsity Girl.

Dear "Smad,"—

As an ex-student of Wikitoria and as a present student of that Faculty of a larger University where degrees are harder to come by—meaning I'm a humble wage-earner—I venture to offer these few comments on the only subject which never fails to intrigue the male student—The 'Varsity Girl.

Now, sir, while one is at 'Varsity, they probably seem all that could be desired and then some, and its not till one gets away from 'Varsity and gets a new slant on these creatures that the flaws in them become apparent. I am well aware that in the present day women are demanding "equality. So be it! But let her consider this equality. By low cunning and by playing on man's generosity women have gained a position of eminence where a man must for ever be the bread winner and the strap-hanger, must even plead on bended knees for the privilege of doing these things. And still they claim equality.

Either they think that with all this clamouring for equality they can still further blind suffering man to the state things have got into, or else they have not sufficient brains to realise that real equality would be tantamount to devotion. Tell us, you females, which is it?

The diseases to which the flesh is heir to are bad enough, but I say let 'em all come, but Lord preserve me from the 'Varsity woman.
