Anyway, it:will be most interesting to wait and see to what account she turns the brain a® muscle of her higher education. . —T C f2£C8 SVXiVESTHS young women the physical training is ho longer an elective but a compulsory feature of the curriculnm. It is also one of the most popular. The time which the mothers of the college girls of to day-spent in eating chocolate creams and reading forbidden French novels toe latter employ in playing basket ball, in doing lOO yard dashes or prac ticing the giant swing on the horizontal bar. Her mother made .fancy work” and plastered the furniture in her room with tidies. The. daughter adorns the wall* of her * ‘den** with trophies of hard won victories ou the tennis court or the grid-' iron. Her mother took an occasional carriage ride or a desultory walk. - She thinks nothing of . taking a 50 mile spin on her bicycle. Her mother wore silks and linen, and every draft of chilly ai» meant a cold, site wears a sweater and stout boots, and the cold, wet days of spring have no terrors for her. I had heard much abont the athletic college girl, but 1 had rather suspected that she merely played at being mus cular. Yon see, the girl graduates that 1 had known were of the old type. But one visit to a field day carnival held at a prominent woman’s college swept away all my prejudiced doubtinga. There was no mere pretense, abont the young woman who madedhe 100 yard dash in 15>£ seconds. There was no doubt, either, about the muscularity of the young women who pulled the oars in the college shells and made the long, narrow boats sboot through the water at amazing speed. The girls who took part in the hurdle racing, Jn the jumping and in the basket ball contest evidently were not the kind who would think it fashionable to appear perfectly helpless in society. But still I had to have a suspicion of some kind, so I asked of an undergrad uate:- ' “Bo these athletic champions of yours ever amount to much iu the classroom?” She looked at me over her glasses in a superior sort of way and then proceed ed to crush me: 4 ‘That depends ou your point of view. You saw the girLwho just won the bas ket ball event?” “ Yes. She made a splendid throw- over 50 feet, wasn’t it?” “It was 62 feet 6 inches. She is also entefed in the 220 yard ruu. Well, she stands No. 1 in languages, with 118 be low her, and she took one of the honors in Greek.” “An exception, perhaps, suggested. 4 4 Out of the nine girls in the senior boat crew five are honor girls iu various departments of study. That girl who came in second in the hurdle race has captured one of the fellowships and is going to take an advanced course in comparative biology. The young lady who won the pole vaulting is one"of. the best . astronomers in her class, and the one who was third in the broad stand ing jump will probably stay here as in structor of mathematics. Oh, no, they’re not all dunces.” • If .any more Suspicions had occurred to my mind, I should have hidden them deep, but I*was too thoroughly squelch ed to have any farther doubts concern ing the absolute perfection of one of those college girls. Yet they are not masculine, these college girls. When their sweaters, their short skirls and their bloomers are hung ug* they appear in costumes which at® delightfully feminine.

Dear Sir—Wo hasten to inform you that the rule was made absolute this day in court, and that, therefore, the case is now finished in your favor. We are, deax eir, yours faithfully, Clarke & Bussell. Clarence Armitage, Esq. “Oh, my poor wife! My darling Kate!” he cried ont to himself. “Why did I go to these lengths?. What is my life worth to me now? Why did you leave me?. Why did you leave me?” Perhaps these questions are isked more often than one would suppose. Perhaps the dreary silence of the reply to them tells as strongly upon the nerves of others as it did upon those of Clarence Armitage. He boro it all, though silently and apparently unmoved. His life was very methodical. He saw »fter everything himself. In the morning be was down early dnough to see that the ‘ hree younger children had their breakfast properly and tu nffcCTWaawt speeds thorn on tl- -ir'Way to school and then to greet- his elder boys as they set out for Uni versify college. He was a reserved man, and yet there was a world of affection for his four boys and little girl, youngest and daintiest of them all. The children seemed to recognize it,, for they loved their father. After settling with the housekeeper the necessary details of the day he proceeded to his office, and then, at 6 o’clock, upon his return he had high tea with his ^children,. helped them in their lessons, sometimes saw them in their- bath and always at tbei last, whon all the house was quiet, went up to oheir bedside and saw that they were comfortable for the night. Once, about three months after Mrs* Armitage had bpcome free from the ties of wifehood, he had said good night and had gone to his study, when up stairs there arose a screaming from little voices and harsh, angry notes from the lips of boys who were nob Controlled yet by the world’s heavy hand of repression. M»* Armitage flung his cigarette-down and rose to go tip stairs, when the door was thrown open and Ralph Armitage stood there panting and , raging in his youthful heat. “Father,” he cried but, “you have not forbidden Katie and”-- The poor. boy burst, into tears. Some thing bad turned his first flash of indig nant defiance of his father into a burst of heartfelt grief. ~ » “Well, Ralph, what does all this mean and what are all the crying and noise up stairs about?” “ Oh, father, dear little Katie was say ing her prayers, and slio said—she said, : God bless dear mother, ’ and—and’ !— The boy stopped abruptly,' and Mr. Armitage turned deadly pale. 1 ‘UWell, Ralph,” he"said kindly, “tell me all about it, my boy. Forbidden her to pray for her mother? No, certainly not. ” “Oh, I thought not, but Mrs. Cookton said she mustn’t do so, and that it was tricked to think anything more about mother, and . that Katie nor any of them laps at the front and backto within square- yoke depth.

THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE OF TUE PAST. and fiction and is generally accepted as the true one, but as a matter of fact 'there is really a great deal less of non sense and frivolity about berthan she is generally credited with. Probably it used to be so. There mnst have been some foundation iu fact on which to es tablish the romantic notions that wc cling to so tenaciously. , But just consider. The young woman whom we see only as a rosy vision has an A. B. or an A. ’M. tacked to her name now. She has wrestled with logarithms and calculus and the dead languages for four longyears. She has struggled for the higher education, and she has cap tured it. Under those soft masses of hair which crown her shapely head there are plans—deep, serious plans—for the future. True, they will probably be lost sight of at the first sparkle of an engagement ring, but for the present they are there. This is where the girl graduate of to day differs from her prototype of a score of years ago. Iu days gone by the heroiagr- bf commencement day was a creature of frills and fancies. She knew a little table French, a little music and had a nodding acquaintance with the classics. A few other elements went to make up the 4 ’finish” which the semi naries of that day gave their graduates. Her ambition was to “shine” in society and to marry after her second . season. She was frail and spirituelle. A surplus of confectionery and pastry had ruined her digestion, and lacked exercise had ntqde matters worse. It was not so jaach brain fag as indigestion which made a year’s rest necessary for her. to recuperate. No wonder she had roman tic notions and was called sweet in a half sarcastic way. The average girl graduato of today deserves a better adjective. She has few frills and fewer fancies. Not only does she possess a better mental development than her sister of 20 years ago, but die has muscles that the other neyer dream ed of. She has biceps and triceps. They are part of the higher education. It is likely that the girl who stood, highest in political economy was the same who pulled stroke oar in the senior boat crew, fcast arear the i>es.t running high jump In a sketch cf Sir William Martin Conway, the mountain climber and ex plorer of the Himalayas, The English Illustrated Magazine says that he has the “climber’s walk”—-that is, a gen tle roll of the body, with no unequal steps, but swinging his legs with rhyth mic precision. He is a slim man, hut tough, full of energy and with iro®. will be inharmonious. ~ Plain chiffon, cKiffonette—also familiar as glace chiffon—and mott stltne de aoie are ex tensively worn. at. cqtiUens and other Me- tions. Silk or satin is the invariable choice as a foundation for such goods, and frequently they are made up-in combination with em- broidefed fnowsseilne de soie. A rarely beautiful specimen of the latter in white shows large daisies wrought with white silk and gold forthe centers, the flowers being ‘ strewn asby a careless hand upon thesnowy, diaphanous Surface. Silk Brussels net in white, black and light colors is largely used for evenuig wear over plaid or .figured taffeta. Yhe net is- rather newer 'than chiffon and kindred fabrics. In woollen dress- goods, taste inclines to just as she had left them. Finally, after a night of such painful joy as is not known to any but such as these, he let her say a prayer over her sleeping children. L' And then he once more folded her in his arms, Ted her down stairs to the study; where of old they generally sat, and talked of-the practical side of the question that remained to them: She had assumed the position of a domestic servant ■ next door because she wanted to be near.

A few days after the thirteenth Ven demaire I happened to be at the ofiSee of the general staff- in the Rue Neuve deg Gapucin'es, when General -Bonaparte, who was lodgingLin the house, came in. I can still see his little hat, surmounted by a chance plume badly fastened on, his tri color sash more than carelessly tied, his coat cuto anyhow, and a sword which, in truth, did not seem the sort of weapon, to make his fortune. Flinging his hat on a large table in the middle of the room, he went up to an old general named Kriegg, a man with a wonderful knowledge of de tail and the author of a very good soldier’s manual. He made him take a seat beside him at the table, and began questioning him, pen in hand, about a host of facts connected with the service and discipline. Some of his questions showed such a com plete ignorance of the mostrbrdinary things. Picturesque and delicate effects are achived in the silk costumes now in'vogue by the judicious use of contrasting fabrics and the disposal of trimming.

I remember some girl graduates of ten years ago whom i knew very well and most of wlTom I have kept track of since. There was the literary one. Her friends all ex pected her to become famous at once. But she didn’t. She ran away from home and married her music teacher, and now they live by giving music and dancing lessons,' for her parents disinherited her. There was the sensible, matter of fact girl who read an essay iu which she claimed for her sex a fair chance in the business world. She married a well to do manufacturer and is now something that several of my comrades smiled. I was myself struck by the number of his ques tions, their order and their rapidity.
