girls say, two thirds of the college is going to move to Iowa City as soon as you come home to your wife. They plan to attend the "U" and live near us so they can study with me and admire my handsome husband. I'll have to mar your beauty, I can see that, if I keep you a tiny bit true to me. Some of our "children" were in the room last night discussing our marriage, and gradually the discussion drifted into an argument, and the argument into a quarrel. They combatted fiercely over which was the baby of the family. Ruby insisted on being the first born, and my Senior girls who were my Freshmen when I first came here, refused to acknowledge her as such. She turned up her nose and dropped out of the fight. Then it began to grow embarrassing.
