HOW BOSTON GIRL JCsr ADogEs THE con
CORD school.
4 few days ago Boston girl who had
been attending the School Of Philosophy at
CoTaaTd asSvcd IN BROOKLYN on a visit TO a
seminary chum. After canyassing the fun
and gum-drops that made up their cduca-
ton in the seat OF learning at which their
early scholastic efforts were made. the
BROOKLYN girl began to inquire into the ma
turc of the Concord entertainments
And 50 YOU are taking lessons in philo-
sophy. How d. you Ike i, ?"
"Oh III perfectly lovely l,'s about sci
cncr. you know, and We all jus, dotc on sci
rncr"
Il, must be nice What is /, ahout2
ITS about molecules a. much as any
thug else. and molecules are jus; too awiully
nice for ANYTHING. Ii therrs anything |
really enjoy. IL molecules.
Tel. the about them. nv dear. What
are molecules ?"
Oh molecules. They are little wee
things and i takes ever 50 many Of them,
They are splendid things DO you Know
there amt ANYTHING bat wha,'s eoy molecules
N r. And Mr.. Cook j. just a. sweet a. he
can Be. and Mr.. Emerson too. They cX-
PLAIN ever, thing 80 beautifully"
How III like to 20 there :" aid the
Brooklyn gir., eHyiously.
YOU'D ENJOY Il ever 50 much. They
teach proiopla,m, too, and If there i, one
thing perfectly heavenly h's protopiasm or
molecules
Tell me about pro;opIasm; know |
should adore it.
Deed YOU would IT. Just too ,wec, to
l.,e. YOU know its about how things got
started. Or something Of that Kind. You
ought 70 hear Mr.. Emerson tell abou, H.
II would STIR your very soul. The FRS, time
he explained about protoplasm there wasn't
a dry eve IN the house Ne named our hats
after hun. This is an Emerson hat. You
sec the uhhon i drawn over the crown. and
caught with buckle and bunch Of flowers
Then YOU turn up the side with a spray OF
fnrgei-mc- Amt il jus, too sweet ?
All the girls 10 the school have them"
"lio~ cxquisiteIy lovely Tell me some
more science"
'.Oh almost forge, about diFerentia-
uon. am really and truly positively in
love with differentiation. IL Is different
from molecules and prOtoplasm, but It's every
bi, As nice And Mr. Cook You should
hear him 90 on about IL really believe he's
perfect, bound up in Il. This scarf is the
Cook scarf. All the girls wear them, and
We named them after him just on account OF
the interest he takes in differentiation"
Nv hat is il, anyway n
This i null, trimmed with Languedoc-
lace"
- don't moan thu, ngkar
'Oh differentiation amt il sweet2 It's
20, something to do with species. It's the
way YOU tell one hat from another. So
you'll know which Is becoming. And We
learn all about ascidians. too. They are the
disinest things. I'm absolutely enraptured
wiih ascidians. II only had an ascidian Of
my own wouldn't ASK anything else in the
world"
What DO they look like, dear Did you
ever see one r asked the Brooklyn glrl.
deeply Interested.
''Oh, no nobody ever saw one except
Mr.. Cook and Mr. Emerson; but they are
something like all oyster with a reticule
hung on its belt. think they are just hea-
yenly."
DO you learn anything else besides all
these p
.Oh. yes. We learn all about common
philosophy and logic and those common
things like metaphysics but the girls don't
care anything about those. We are just in
ecstasies over differentiation and molecules
and Mr.. Cook and protoplasms and asci-
dians and Mr. Emerson, and really don't
see why they put in those vulgar branches
If anybody besides Mr.. Cook and Mr. En-
had Hnp,a ShntttA baxa t.lI
to his face that he was too terribly awfullv
mean"
And the Brooklyn girl went to bed that
night in the dumps because fortune had not
souchsafed her the advantages enjoyed by
her friend, while the Boston girl dreamed
of seeing an ascidian chasing a molecule
over differentiated back fence with club
for telling protoplasm. that his youngest
sister had so many freckles on her nose that
they made her cockeyed.-Brooklyn EayIe
