Some mutrous will tell their daugli-
tors that it is highly improper for them
to dance with any but the 6aucc. In
this case it is perhaps better to defer to
the older lady's opinion, but there is
certainly nothing improper in permit
ting your fiuncee to dance with other
gentlemen whom you know and who
are your friends.
There is a certain reserve in court
ship to which u married couple looks
back with particular pride. 1t is the
woman, as II rule, who sees that this re-
serve is maintained, but it ought to be
a mutual matter.
After you have placed the engage
ment ring upon the hand of your fan
Gee, it is Il question whether you should
continue to shower valuable gifts upon
the young lady. Flowers, as costly as
you can afford them, can be sent as
parents should have say as to the ac-
ceptancc or refusal of jewelry by the
young lady; and in this matter it is
best to obey the father and mother, for
you will soon have the young lady all
to yourself, and it is barely possible
that you will yourself object as strenu-
ously to the opportunities for jewels
which will undoubtedly come from the
young wife.
You should always be with your fan
Gee in public places TO which you are
invited; at the opera, mt thcatcrs, at
balls, at receptions where gentlemen
attend. If YOU are alone at the ball or
ut the opera the fashionable world
will believe that you have quarreled,
and the fashionable world knows, as n
rule, what it is talking about. Right
here it must be said that the first quar-
rel is as unnecessary and vulgar rs the
last, which usually ends in Il broken
engagement, or, if deferred until after
marriage, in the divorce court | use
the word vulgar adviscdly, for no gen.
tleman will allow petty and uncalled-
for jealousy to bring him to the point of
Il quarrel. No lady will give the gentle
man actual cause for such action.
1t is lady's privilege to fix the we'd
ding day On this point the cdict of
fashion is absolute, but there is no in
stance on record in fashionable society
where the young lady who was really
in love failed to take suggestion in
the matter from her prospective hus-
band. In other words, the gentleman
can suggest, but the lady fixes the day.
1t is said by those who know Tom How
ard very well that he made any number
of suggestions on this point to popular
Mrs. Howard, nee "Spriggic Post, and it
was only when Il friend told her that
Toms heart was breaking that she ac-
ceptcd his final suggestion. 1t is no
longera secret that Tom put the friend
up to the "heart- breaking story.
They tell this story on Duncan Elliott.
His fair fiancce was at Newport mt the
time, and while Mr.. Elliott was visiting
her one day She rather nadvisedly re-
quested Il suggestion or two on the sub
ject of n time for their marriage. AS
Duncan had been doing nothing but
suggesting ever since the engagement

presentation of lanterns to the fresh.
men by the second year students at
the beginning of every year. At first,
suggestive merely of the light that the
new student will require for her guild
ance through her college course, the
lantern has finally taken its place as
the college symbol. The gift is always
accompanied by words of advice and
the ceremonies of presentation are
very ingenious and interesting.
Though founded by one of the Society
of Friends, the college is no sense sec
tartan. Attendance at the devotional
exercises held every morning and on
one evening during the week is not com
pulsory.
Like the Johns Hopkins university,
to which Bryn Mawr college owes much,
SO much indeed, that it has been ir-
revcrently nicknamcd the Jane Hop
kins" university, it especially cmpha-
sizes the graduate department And,
indeed, there is more of the university
then the college about it. To encour-
age postgraduate study, the college Of
fers five fcllowships to graduates OF
Bryn Mawr or other colleges of good

Greek, English, mathematics and his
tory, and cntitlo the holder to free tut
ton, furnished room in the college
buildings and the sum of $3.50. A Eu-
ropean fclowshipis also awarded annu-
ally to Il member of the graduating class,
on the ground of excellence in schol-
arship The holder receives the sum of
$500, applicable to the expenses of one
years study and residence at some for
eign university, either English or CONT
mental.
There are now ut the college $50 stu
dents between the ages of l6 and 81
years. Twenty of these are graduate
students. The average age for enter
ing the college is from &c to 90" saws
Dr. James f. Rhoads, tic pre- idcnt of

about cover all the necessary college

sweetest face you have ever looked
upon and the most devoted of ways,
you want to let her know Just rs soon
as possible al that your heart prompts
you to tell. Remember that there is
an unhappy time in the life of many
Il man. which. if YOU could read his
story, YOU would find dates back to that
moment when some young lady intro
6luccd the best girl in the world to him
as some one clsc's fianccc.
There are duties, of course, which
the young lady owes to the young gen
tlcman; duties which it will not be nee
essary to go into detail about here, but
of which | would like to say one word
No woman, unless she be Il heartless
coqucttc, will allow gentleman to
continue his attentions to her when she
knows she will never accept him, for
no man likes to be refused, and it is
often this feeling which keeps the man
of fashion from proposing when he has
the least doubt as to the possibility OF
an acceptance.
On the other hand, 4 man must al
ways be made to understand that he is
the petitioner and she the judge who
sits with the utmost dignity and deco
rum upon the proposition he tenders.
1t is Il moment when mans life ought
to lie before woman like mirror,
one in which his real character glasses
itself.
The custom inauguratcd by our fore
fathers which held it en- regle always to
ask the consent OF the parents before
even intimating the engagement to
friends is as much in effect now as then.
There are men of fashion who go even
further in their obedience to the old
time law. They make it point to Sc
cure the consent of the parents even
before they put that hardest of ques-
tions to the girl they love. On this
point, however, there is difference of
opinion, and it must be said that in nine
cases out of ten the society man is
pretty certain of an acceptance by the
young lady-in fact, absolutely certain
parents es sutton for the daughters
hand.
Then comes the happy moment when
the story of love has been told, when the
first faiths and trusts have been cX-
changed, when you can court in earnest
| cannot give you many details on how
to court, because that altogether de-
ponds upon the conditions, dispositions,
and the prospective mothcr-in-law. The
conduct of a society man to his fiancee
must be tender, assiduous and unobtru-
sivc. He must avoid all airs Of master

occupy single rooms, and others have
each bedroom and a sittinr-room.
The pretty oak furniture supplied
by the college often serves mere
ly as a background for the clabor-
ate refurnishing of the students.
No room is complete without its
dainty tea table; soft pillows are
heaped in the deep, coy window seats,
a bright fire burns in the open CRATE,

down in coverless notebooks, consisting
OF about twenty blank pages stitched
together, modelled after the "hefts" of
the German students and called by their
German name.
4 During these morning hours the Ii
brary is full of students seated around
the long tables, reading on their vari-
Gus lines of study. In the broad win
dow seats and in the corridors groups
of students collect to discuss in low, an
dmatcd tones the lecture just heard, or
the one about to come. Talk about the
mornings work also adds an intel
1ectual flavor to the luncheon at one

meal of the day. Evening dress is worn,
and college matters are excluded from
the conversation. The tables in the
dining-rooms hold about fifteen each,
and one of the number is often appoint
ed to read up the news of the day and
bring it forward for discussion at din
ner.

the students are based on ideas recently
developed. There is no crowding. The
three residence houses, Merton Hall,
Radnor Hall and Denbigh Hall, are
large, handsome structures of Port De-

DRUNK IN THE STREET.

Ii was in 1872 when the late Dennis Nc
Carthy was city editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle, that young reporter named Dan
OConnell sought employment in the Office.
One morning, Mccarthy said to Dan, "Go up
to the Police Court and note what is going on
there Dan obeyed orders reluctantly, and
the following, which appeared in next morn
inR's Chronicle, made the Young Bohemian
famous
Drunk, yonr HONOR the officer said;
"Drunk in the street, sir" she rateed her
head;
A lingering trace OF the olden grace
Still softened the lines of her woe-worn face.
Unkempt and tangled her rich brown hair;
Yet, with all the furrows and stains of care,
The years Of anguish, and sin, and despair;
The child OF the city was passing fair;
The ripe, red mouth, with lips compressed,
The rise and fall of the heaving breast,
The taper fingers so slender and small,
That crumple the fringe of the tattered shawl
As she stands In her place at the officers call.
Seem good and fair, seem tender and sweet.
Though this fallen woman was drunk In the
street.
Does the hand that once smOothed the ripple
wave
OF that golden hair lie still in the grayef
are the lips that pressed her lips TO their
own,
Dead TO the pain OF that sthed moang
Has the voice that once chimed with the
lisping prayer
No accent of hope for the lost one there
Bearing her burden of shame and dispairs
Drunk In the street-in the gutter found
From passionate longing to crush and
drowa
The soul Of the woman she might have been;
To cast off the weight of a fearful dream,
And awake once more in the homestead hard
by,
The wooded mountain that kissed the sky;
To pause awhile on the path to school
And catch by the depths Of the limpid pool,
Under the willow-shade, green and cool,
A dimpled face aud laughing eye.
And the pleasant words of the passers by.
Ye men with sisters and mothers and wives.
Have We no care for these women's liyesy
Must they siarye for the comfort ye neve1

Must they ever be sinful and eIring and

Tottering onward with weary feet.
