L
| One OF the academy young fellows became
desperately enamored of bright-eyed
seminary girl. The lady teachers never
permit boxes, from home or elsewhere, con.
tanning appetite-tempters to be received by
their fair charges. The young fellow was
| Ignorant of this rule, and with the gush-
| ing generosity of first love he sent the oh.
Ject of affection big box, crammed with
pies, cakes, confectionery, fruits and other
| goodies, enough TO set any schoolgirl wild
OF course the box was intercepted by the
Argus-eYed preceptresses, the young ladv
was informed that the box and its contents
must be returned, and one of the teachers
penned a curt aud pointed letter to the
young swain, enlarging upon the enor-
nifty of his offence and forbidding him
to so much as look in the direc-
ton of the seminary again. But
while she was thus performing
her righteous duty, those giddy
! girls, going about with every appearance
of meekness ard docility, managed to alb
stract every blessed "goody" out of the
box, which they filled up with old shoes
and fastened securely as before. That
night, while the august preceptreSs was
sleeping in the sweet consciousness of duty
| done, her submissive charges had splen-
| did layout" eaten on their beds with
! pillows for tables. But this was not all
the joke. Receiving the letter and the
box by express apparently unopened, the
young man thought it would be pity to
have so many good things wasted: so he
simply redirected itand shipped it off again
to an Older brother in distant college.
What the last recipient thought when he
; opened the box of female shoes and worn
out slippers, has not yet transpired.
II you want something nice and easily
prepared for supper or luncheon dish in
hot weather, try iellied chicken. 1t is
! made as follows: Boil a fowl until the
flesh WILL slip off the bones Cut it into
neat pieces, rejecting all bits of skin.
Prepare the Jelly from the soup liquor, in
the same manner as for gelatine. When
the layer in the bottom of the mold is
firm, arrange on it pieces of chicken, rings
OF hard-boiled eggs overlapping each other.
and if you wish, few mushrooms or stoned
olives. Pour in more jelly, and when that
is hard add another layer of chicken, pro-
ceeding thus until the materials are all
used. Dispose the olives, egg and mush
rooms along the sides of the mold. so that
the shape MAJ present ali inviting appear
ance when it is turned out on the platter.
Garnish both platter and jelly with cresses,
young lettuce, or nasturtion leaves and
blossoms, the latter preferred.
There is nothing better than potato
salad, and this is the best way to make it.
Three good sized potatoes, one teaspoonful
of salt, one salt-spoon full of black pep
per, nine tablespoonsful of olive oil, three
tablespoonsful of vinegar, one good sized
onion, three or four sprigs Of parsley.
While the potatoes are boiling prepare the
dressing. Put the salt and pepper into
bowl and add gradually the oil, stirring
until the salt is thoroughly dissolved:
then gradually add the vinegar, stirring
all the while. Chop the onion extremely
hne. When the potatoes are done, cut
them into thin slices, mix them carefully
with the onion, then add the dressing, and
turn them upside down without breaking
the potatoes. Dish, and stand away in a
cold place for an hour or two. Sprinkle
with the parsley, chopped very fine. Re-
member that the beauty Of salad is to
have it very cold when served.
Early in the coming October new law
school for women is to be established in
New York City, by Mrs. Emily Kempin,
Ii. D. The system of teaching will be
that of the European universities, all the
instruction being given in the form Of
lectures. Mrs. kempin is a graduate of
the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and
is lawyer of note.
The Theological Seminary ut Hartford,
Conn, has announced that hereafter
women will be admitted to all its courses
of instruction on the same terms as men.
At the last session the Western Unitarian
Conference passed a resolution petitioning
Harvard College to open its Theological
Seminary to women.
In 1888 number of young women in
Washington, D. c., who had been en-
gagged in charitable work, conceived the
idea of furnishing a suburban home for
those who otherwise could rot get out of
the city. A place near Tennallytown was
secured, and the "home" is now in a -four
ishing condition, over one hundred chill
dren being taken there every summer
The largest woman's club in the world
is the SeidI Society of New York, which
it present numbers nearly 500.
Miss Kate Stephens, of Cambridge, is
the author Of an article on "The Position
of American Women" in the American
supplement of the Encyclopedia Britain
Mica.
Miss Jane Harrison has volume in
press on archaeology"
Fanny Kemble, who half century ago
was the beauty of the stage, has written
novel in her old age. She always disliked
the stage, and left it early. She married
a Philadelphia man, and went with him
to Georgia to be mistress of plantation of
negroes. She soon quarrelIed with her
husband, and came to live at Lennox,
Mass, where she used to course through
the country on horseback, attired in mas
culine dress
As to fig leaves, it seems as if everyone
might have variety of pretty gowns this
summer, not only because dainty and in
expensive dress materials are SO cheap but
the prevailing styles require so very little
material and are therefore easily made up.
The old-fashioned lawns and dotted mus
Inns, made in quaint styles, with plenty of
ribbons at the waist and shoulders, are
suitable for home wear and for garden par
ties, while ginghams and piques are more
for the street. The latter has not been
worn much for several seasons, but is now
shown with a soft finish in pale colors,
such as blue, rose or dull mahogany, with
tiny white figures This material is very
serviceable, and exceedingly light and cool
for summer days. Skirts seem TO be ffatter
than ever, and with as little fullness as
possible at the back. The broad sashes give
pretty effect with a thin gown, but even
they are being put aside with the reeds
and other disagreeable additions with
which women have loaded themselves
selves down so long.

GRAND-DAUGHTER.
