in looking like an hourglasS.
There are many designs which really
make n stout woman look graceful and
far more slender than the tightest lacing
possibly can. One such design is given
in gown which was made for very

under her instruction. When she wss
made president her splendid executive
ability became evident. 1t was heavy
burden that she had to assume, but,
though not strong physically, she stood
the strain well. She laughingly says
that her college life accustomed her tc
the hardest kind Of work.
In 1883 Michigan university conferred
upon her the degree of Phi. D., and in
1887 Columbia college added Lift. D.
In January. 1883, her work as Welles
leys president was laid aside and her
marriage with Professor George Her
bert Palmer, of the department of phi
losophy at Harvard college, took place.
But her educational labors are by nc
means ended. She is trustee of Wei
lesley, an active member of the Massa-
chusetts state board of education, ap-
pointed thereto in 1890, and has recently
been made one of the boa&l of five edu-
cational representatives of Massachusetts
at the Worlds Columbian exposition.
From 1876 until 1888 Miss Shafer had
been quietly and constantly building
up the department of mathematics at
Wellesley. until it was second TO none
in strength and Importance. In the lat
ter year she laid the work down to as
sumo the presidents duties.
A native of Newark, N. j., Miss Sha
fer is nevertheless to be considered a
western woman, for her family moved
west when she was but child. She
was fitted AT home and at private schools
for Oberlin college, the first, or one of
the first, to open its doors to women. She
was graduated from there in 1863. and
| later received the degree of M. A. from
the same institution. She was known
at Oberlin as a brilliant student ir
mathematics and a superior writer OF
fine essays. She taught ten years in St
Louis, where her excellent work gave
her n reputation and associated hei
with such educators as DR.. William Il
Harris and Professor &. H. Howison.
A short rest followed this labor ant
