New York is the girls boarding school
city of America There are in the neighbor-
hood of 80 boarding schools for girls, nom
sectarian In character, big and little, fashion,
able and plain, and they have about 1000
pupils, gathered together from every State
in the Union. The great Western, North
western and Southern cities send by far the
largest number
As rule the local schools in the large
cities are recruited from the smaller towns
in their particular vicinities. As, for
instance, those in Boston draw from the
New England States; those in Pittsburg
from Western Pennsylvania, and those in
Chicago from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wis-
consin and Michigan.
There are many reasons why New York
holds supremacy as a boarding school
center. The metropolis offers special ad-
vantsges to the girl who can afford to pay
ior them. II she wishes to study music
here are the great teachers, singers, players,
Conservatives, choirs, organs, concerts,
ofatorios and the opera If she intends to
make special study of art, here are the
great private picture collections, the exhi-
billions, art schools, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and the studios of the
greater painters.
French the Language of the Schools.
These advantages, not the schools them
selves, are what attract so many girls to
New York. A metropolitan boarding
school is very little different from WELL

Mills, Prof j. B. Halvley, Dr. Dudley
Buck, Harry Rowe Shelley, S. P. Warren,
Prof c. B. Rutenbet, Signor Belari, Rich
ard Hoffman, DR.. Bruno, Oscar Klein and
others of this class sometimes give lessons
in their studios to single pupils who are es.
corted thither by chaperons. The cost OF
these lessons is seldom less than s. each
and the lessons are only half an hour in
length.
Library Books and Lectures.
Most of the schools have excellent libra
ries of their own and give their pupils lee
lures from well-known special authorities
without extra expense. In music such au-
thorities as William j. Henderson, of Col
umbia College, Mr.. Krehbiel, Walter Dam
rosch and DR.. George William Warren are
among the lecturers.
A course in any of the laboratories OF the
great medical colleges or of Barnard Col
lege costs $50. An additional deposit of
$50 is required when desk is given to
pupil This sum is returned to pupil when
she gives up the desk and the apparatus
after deducting for breakage.
Drawing is taught in almost all of the
schools by a teacher who comes twice a
week and instructs the entire drawing class
at once. For this there is charge which
varies from 81 to S3 according to the
teacher Some schools have painting
teachers, who instruct advanced pupils in
the school building. The charges are from
SO to 81 lesson. Certain of the leading

ng had such special thought given to them
before, and she knows too surely that the
girls will all pass involuntary judgment
upon it, and that it will inevitably gauge
her taste with them.
There are no harder critics in the world
than schoolgirls. They are just becoming
sensitive to beauty and an ugly thing gives
them real pain. Also, they are yet without
the basis of experience that enables the rest
of us to palliate offenses against taste when
recognized. Moreover, the girl herself is
anxious to leave behind among her mates
an attractive memory of herself as one who
expressed beauty m her person. 1t is a
legitimate desire.
Simplicity the Best Form.
Simplicity is the approved ideal for the
graduating dress, and it is simple gowns
only that are provided for their daughters
by people of wealth and taste. There is of
course some difference to be allowed for be-
tween a college girl in the twenties and
younger girls in lower grade schools The
college girl usually wears her first train, and
there must be an adaptation of design to the
more fully developed figure, but simplicity
remains the ideal for all, with those who
follow the best form.
1t happens often that the girl herself, if
she is in the habit of selecting her own
clothes, without cultured guidance, thinks
that this is the time to blossom out in trills
and furbelows. She considers, too, that she
will be a woman from this on, and thinks
gown which she will wear through the sum-
mer should be as elaborate as those of
her older sisters. She wants bro

this girl consider further. If she does
this thing she will live to find that
she has made mistake. The gown she
will admire on commencement day will be
simple. oyer cut by frst-class private
modistes, beautiful in form, but without
any pretensions whatever. If one has any
money to spend on graduation dress it
should not be put into rich material or
labor. Give it to good modiste to cut
something artistic or girlish. Elaboration
only takes away elegance.
Material for Graduating Gowns.
The soft India silks are among the white
fabrics most popular for these gowns
Wool crepons will be much used They
are in great variety of weave. Nuns veil
ing has a charming texture, and there are
albatross cloth and the beautiful mixed wool
and silk fabrics with wool finish, that 60
under many names Also crepe de chine,
gauze, and the dotted organdies or Swiss
muslins. The trimmings are principally
ribbons and the inexpensive coarse laces so
much in vogue.
The charming gown of India silk, of
which we give picture, is made with a
full gathered skirt, as this fabric needs
wrinkled folds to show its beauty. Around
the bottom are four rows of gros grain rib
bon, satin edged. The waist is gathered to
a belt and confined by sash tied behind.
Round the shoulders is the fall of lace so
popular this season, and which is called
after Princess Mary the "Teck barbe." The

CEREMONY AMONG THE BIRDS
The Love Of Display That Exists in Specie
of the Feathered Tribe.

The Love Of Display That Exists in Species
of the Feathered Tribe.
Newcastle Courier.I
The singular wattied, wing-spurred and
long-toed jacanas have queer kind of
meeting. They usually go singly or in
pairs, but occasionally, in response to call
BY one of them, all who are within hearing
leave off feeding and fly to one spot, where
they walk about with their beau
titul wings erect or half open,
or waved up and down with q
slow and measured motion. What these

but that of the spur-winged lapwing is alto.
gether peculiar, inasmuch as it takes place
with three individuals only. These birds
live in pairs, and at intervals during the
day or on moonlight nights, one bird will
leave his mate and fly to another pair O
short distance off. These will receive the
visitor with signs of pleasure.
First going to meet him, they place them
selves behind him, and all three march rap
idly, uttering special notes Then they
stop; the leader stands erect with elevate
wings uttering loud notes, while the other
two, with puffed-out plumage, standing side
by side, stoop forward till the tips of their
beaks touch the ground, and with low
murmuring sound remain for some moments
in this strange posture. Then the visitor
goes back to his own mound and mate, and
later on they receive visitor whom they
treat in the same ceremonious manner
They are said to be so fond of this form of
visiting that they indulge in it all the year
round.

tion of a remarkable elevation, nothing to
show that they had ascended higher than

Broken Measures.

Life is full of broken measures,
objects unattained;
Sorrows intertwined with pleasures,
Losses of our costliest treasures,
EIe the height be gained.
Every soul has aspiration
Still unsatisfied;
Memories that wake vibration
OF the heart in quick pulsation,
At the gifts denied.
sWe are better for the longing,
Stronger for the pain;
Souls at ease are nature wrongfng;-
Through the narrowed soil come thronpino
Seeds in sun and rain!
Broken measures, fine completeness
In the perfect whole;
Life is but day in fleetness-
Richer in all strength and sweetness.

all passengers must get out or in of these

The windows of these compartments have
heavy blinds attached to them to keep out
the suns rays on hot days. Each compart-
ment is separated from its neighbors by a
partition of heavy wooden sheathing. The
noise which the train makes passing over
the rails is quite sufficient to deaden any
ordinary sound or even screams in one Of
these compartments. A passenger might
stand and hammer at the partition until his
knuckles were black without attracting the
attention of the other passengers in the next

Reaching a Great Height with Kites.

hcaChtHS u Win hltCos
The actual height of kites above the
earth is difficult to measure, because an
object floating alone in the air looks far
Their away than it really is. When a kite
is flying at height of 1880 feet it has
reached about as high a point as is possible
without the assistance of other kites Such
a kite will seem to have reached an alti-
tude of half a mile; yet careful measure,
ment of the string and its steepneSs will
show that the kite rs not over one-third of
a mile above the ground. Ordinarily the
kite will go no higher even if more string
is let out, because the wind presses against
the great length of string with increasing
force as the kite recedes and rises.
If more than one kite be used remark
able heights are attainable. The kites can
be fastened along a single string, but this
method requires quickness in attaching
the right amount of tail to each kite;
otherwise so much time may be wasted in
preparing the successive kites for flight
that the daylight will wane before the ex-
pertinent can be concluded. However,
when one kite is up and the amount of tail
for it is determined, it becomes possible,
after long experience, to at once estimate
the amount of tail necessary for each addi-
tiopal kite, according to its siZe.-William
