dressed meeting OF college girls on the iber-

college women to the life Of the time. Mrs.
Palmer urges that it is not the brilliant or es-

The self-centred nature is half dead" she
said. and the words hold condensed truth.
Boston is largely given over to meetings OF
women addressed by women.
There is u current Of discussion in Boston
Just now to whether the public support OF

journal that should hold itself exclusively to
the representation of the best public senti-
ment. and exclude all sensational appeal to
lower faculties.
The experim emit will soon be tried In Boston
of a journal conducted on high moral and in
basis. and the degree OF success IL
achieves will be n very interesting thing to OBJ
serve. and the result will register some Of tho
way marks OF progress. Lillian WHITING.
