WOMAN'S WORLD.
COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITIES DECISION
TO NOT ADMIT WOMEN.

Life at Vassar CoIIege-A Girls Brave
Broke the DeadIock-Miss North's Ro-
mance-TimeIy Notes About Women.
The old discussion concerning the adj
visibility of wOman's acquiring the art
Of Galen and Hippocrates, of Aspasia
and Bucca, has been reopened by the re-
cent decision of the Columbian univer-
sity at Washington to no longer admit
women to its medical department. An
Sffer, financially backed by Gardiner
Hubbard, TO put up fine physiological
laboratory and give it to the college on
condition that the decision be withdrawn
has been fatty declined.
The argument advanced by the faculty
that the teaching of men and women
together in medical classes is demoraliz-
ing to both is rather weakened by the
fact that at all clinics women nurses are
present and assist at operations of every
kind, imparting an atmosphere of re-
hnement and seriousness quite percepti-
bic Immediately on their appearance.
The other theory, that women do not
possess a quality of intelligence that
fits them for study with men, has been
refuted by the higher average of women
in examinations and the greater number
of honors secured by them, due to the
fact that they are exceptional women,
inspired by serious ambition and interest.
eoDtending with the ordinary run of
l,;, h.
Consequently the faculty has fallen
back upon the old excuse that the adj
mission of women to the classes keeps
men away from the college, and that the
step was taken because it was not de-
sirable to turn that institution into a
female seminary"
However, this defeat is one which can
be we'll endured, considering the great
advance of the educational movement for
women along all lines, and particularlyin
the study of medicine. New York, Phila-
selphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Chi
sago have medical schools exclusively
fer women: the medical department of
Johns Hopkins is open to them; nearly
all the western colleges admit them, and
two other Washington colleges receive
them on equal terms with men. Paris
offers every facility to women. Germany
admits them to her institutions, though
not allowing them to sign their own pre-
seriptiOns.
1t is an interesting and pertinent fact
that though men students now treat
women with fair degree Of cOnsidera-
1on medical instructors the world over
and particularly in Germany, are still
hostile to the so called invaders, pre-
senting all subjects Of delicate nature
in the coarse and revolving manner most
liable to embarrass and disgust the
women, who have accepted the treat
nent with a heroic dignity, ignoring
those things which they could neither
tolerate nor condone.-New York Sun.

The inability of the average woman to
understand was again demonstrated in d
Fulton street shoe store one day last
week. A rather nice appearing woman
came in, and after seating herself on one
Of the broad leather sofas, asked the
salesman to show her certain kind of
shoe. 1--WE don't keep ladies' shoes
here" said the salesman, politely. The
woman's eyes snapped as she exclaimed:
Don't keep ladies' shoes? Why don't
you keep them?"
The salesman explained that the firm
only manufactured gentlemen's shoes,
and only sold that kind. "Oh," said the
woman rising, Il think women are just
as good as men; but it is very evident
that you don't think So" With these in.
dignant words the woman walked hur.
riedly out of the store. After catching
his breath the salesman had good
laugh all to himself. -Brookly Stand

Matinee girls reigned supreme Satur-
day afternoon at the food exposition in
Madison Square garden. The quantity
attired maids in attendance on the vari-
Gus booths, the demure country damsels
rounding out the festivities of the week
by a visit to the food show, and the So
ciety danes in their swell costumes, all
looked their prettiest and smiled their
sweetest, but the matinee girls outdid
them all. They swarmed into the gar
den boiling over with the pent up en-
thuslasm aroused by the great parades
and pageants of the past week, and fol
four or five hours they made the after
noon the liveliest which the gayly dec.
grated amphitheater had known since
the opening of the food exposition.
They poured into the lecture hall and
listened with suppressed giggles and an
outward show of intense interest to Miss
Parloa's dissertations on sCallOped OyS'
tiers, potato soup and maraschino ice
cream. They supplied themselves plen.
tifully with candies on entering the gar
den and then proceeded to Overwhelm
the attendants at the ice cream soda
fountain.
Having nearly exhausted the supply
of their favorite beverage they began
the round of all the dainty samples sup.
piled by the various exhibits. They
slipped chocolate, they tasted soups and
they munched pickles. From pickles
they went to tomato catchup, from
catchup to cocoa, and so on through the
entire list, winding up with appetizin&
slices of smoked beef. When they had
been all through the garden they were
a tired but happy medley of girls. They
had had great time and they knew 1t.

from rev days visit TO ManlJou. one
was accompanied home by two young
friends, and at S:45, when they reached
the house, they found it locked. The
young ladies were afraid to attempt to
enter the house by window, and Miss
Kinsey concluded to wake the coach
man, Arthur George, whose sleeping
room was in the barn. When she ap-
preached the window she was apprisSd
by the smell of smoke and the heat that
the barn was on fire.
Quickly the young lady recognized
the gravity of the situation. She thought
of the family horse-a valuable animal,
standing in his stall crazed with
fright, Will the smoke and flames were
nearly envclOping him. Giving the
alarm to her friends, the brave little
lady broke the window with her UNI
30 ~ and climbed in regardless of
wounded and bleeding fingers, She
rushed through the binding smoke to
the door. which she unbarred. Then
stripping off her jacket, she blindfolded
the frightened horse and led him to the
open air. By this time the screams of
the Young ladies had brought crowd
to the scene, and some one had turned
III an alarm. The fire department
quickly responded, and the flames were
subdued before the building was wholly
1estroyed.--Denver Republican.

TripIets si.ty-nfne Years Old.

Monday evening, at the residence OF
Mr.. Alden 7. Brown, Waltham, a re.
ception was rendered to three of Mrs.
Browns aunts, who are triplets and
sixty-nine years of age, the anniversary
of their birth occurring on the Goth OF
last June. Mr.. Browns mother, sister
of the triplets and herself twin, was
present. These four ladies were born IT,
Union, Me-, and are the survivors of a
family of thirteen children, seven OF
them being twins and triplets. The
triplets, when young girls, all worked in

She Broke the Deadlock,

Fortunate Josiah Hicks At Bedford,
Pa, Mr.. Hicks has just been named for
congress. This was not done hurriedly:
on the contrary, Mr.. Hicks was no1ni-
mated on the 2l3th ballot There had
been practically deadlock, which the
tricks and cunning of the shrewdest po-
litical workers had been unable to
break Mrs. Hicks, who had been
quietly staying at home attending to
her duties, began to wonder why Josiah
did not come home. Pretty soon she
made it her business to inquire. When
she heard Of the deadlock, in which the
Hicks aspirations were involved, she
packed her bag, put on her bonnet and
took the train for Bedford There she
determined TO find out who it was that
was opposing her husbands nominal
ton, and why.
This she did so successfully that a
Philadelphia paper, relating the details
of Hicks nomination, says that the
credit of breaking the deadlock, which
might have continued for weeks to come,
is due to the able manner in which Mrs.
Josiah Hicks championed her husbands
cause. Her pleasant, dignifed manner
and convincing arguments were able to
accomplish what no effort of politicians
could effect. Mr. Hicks was subse.
quently nominated by reclamation.

Those Dreadful Treckles.

They seem to trouble nine girls out Of
every ten, and am sure | do not know
why. In the first place, the girl who has a
freckle or two on her face announces to
the world at large that she uses neither
paint nor powder. Then, too, she tells that
she has been living in that best of all
things-the sunshine. But somehow the
freckles trouble her; her sweetheart
thinks they are rather pretty, but she
does not agree with him, and she is al
ways asking, what will take away the
freckles?" Well, my dear girl, if you
got them week ago, or a month ago,
or some time during the summer, the
juice of the lemon, with teaspoonful
of borax in it, dabbled on them will
cause them to disappear-that is, if you
apply this treatment regularly, not if
you put it on tonight and forget it the
three nights more to follow.
Sometimes, if they have only just
come, few drops of benzoin, put in the
water until it gives it a milky look, used
for few days, will cause them to dis
appear. And, by the bye, a very nice
woman wrote and told me that she could
not get benzoin at any drug shop in town.
Well, just let her tell the chemists them
selves that they keep very poor stock
of goods when they have not that. Five
or six drops of it in basin of water will
make it look like skimmilk, and make
it smell like the fir or cedar trees, while
it will cool sunburned face and give
what doctors call "tone" to the skin.
But, my dear girls, do.not want you to
bother about the freckles. They are
really not worth it. Instead, make up
your mind that they are sun spots, pat
on your face to tell the world of the
sunny disposition that you have, and of
the glad spot that you make at home.

Miss North's Romance.

A pretty love story where love stories
are least expected is revealed in the an
nouncement of the engagement of Miss
North, the nitrate kings daughter. Miss
North is young, very handsome and has
been an unquestioned success in the
great world 1t has been generally be
lieved that such young women when
they are posed advantageously against
the background of great fortune, as is
Miss North, are produced through sub
tie and indirect processes by nature for
the purpose of renewing the blood and
replenishing the Golfers of noblemen.
Miss North has been regarded so
widely to be the bride ultimately of GER
tainly duke that the announcement of
her engagement to George Croker, who
is not only without title, but is Liver
pool business man, has been a nine days
wonder. 1t appears that Miss North for
four years has desired to marry Mr..
Croker, but her father, Colonel North,
who doubtless felt that strawberry
leaves were somewhere to be found in
his shrubbery, refused his consent. But
love has found way; the father has
yielded, and now everybody is chipping
as if love had just been born into the
world.
