WOMEN IN VIR8IFI<.
The Matter OF Higher Education for
Them.

The subject OF higher education for
women has awakened more interest IN
Virginia In the year past than at any
previous time. The question, where shall
the necessary advantages be foundf has
been discussed: and some applications for
admission 10 the University OF Virginia
have been made.
Az this date, our women so 20 other
States 10 find the needed aid The uni
versities Of other States offer more I'D
eral terms, and to those fields our women
turn; but why should our own state re-
fuse such help as is needed 10 NJ her

advantages offered by that Institution
are satisfactory. The terms coihpaie
favorably with those OF other UNIVERSE
ties, and the conditions OF climate anu
environment are better suited TO our
women than are the surroundings VI
Northern or Western universities.
There is a prejudice against granting
these privileges. a sentiment that our
landmarks must not be invaded. our pui-
warks Of safety must be guarded, the
pride Of the State in our time honored
institutions must not be touched; but
Virginia cannot shut her eyes TO the fact
that educational advantages Of the high

said. The Iaces and frills that once
adorned It now trim the corset alone, and
its cover fits closely without wrinkle,
occupying as little space as possible.
The dressing sacque and the robe din
terieur are not less fascinating than
the pretty skirt or night dress. OF
course, more liberty is given in the mat
ter OF material. Silk, challie, cashmere,
crepe. dotted muslin, and the finer linens
and lawns are all used. The sacqus Is
made loosely and comfortably. with big
sleeves, and a shoulder ruffe that may

teau effects are given 10 almost all or
the morning robes, and the plain tea
gowns have fronts OF single color. with
back and sides OF fancy chaiiie or
other printed material. The all-white
wrapper is most suitable for summer,
and nothing can be cooler OF more re-
freshing on a hot day than to slip into
one OF them.

rate, is made Of a pale old rose satin,

gether at the belt by a wide ribbon.
At the neck a surplice effect is given by
a wide band of broad guipure insertion
that cross es in a long slant, running
down to the armhoes. The same cross
effect IS added to the sleeves as well.
The edge of the skirt turns up in deep
hem. All of the morning robes have no
trimming at their edge. A hem is all
sufficient.
In the matter OF small things, the side
garter Is the more satisfactory. Although
there is not such an opportunity for
dainty ornamentation as in the knee

DO the men who sit UP In forily dis

in the matter Of styles realize that they
don't know what they are saying? Not
one Of them has ever seen a picture OF a
woman OF any period whose draperies
were not more or less like the draperies
of to-day. Skirts have varied In widths
but there have always been skirts,
sleeves have been enormous or scant. but
there have always been some sort OF dra-
peries over the arms. Bodices have been
tight or loose. but there have always
been bodices.
On the other hand, mems fashions have
changed In marked degree from time 20

not feel so hopelessly out OF place In a

The Railroad Talk.

The Boston News Bureau remarks: 1.-THE
key to the present situation will probably
be found In the fact that the New Haven
realizes that 1t has not yet secured the
New York and New England or broken
the power of the Reading Railroad COM
pany. The Boston and Maine railroad, we
understand, now gives to the Old Colony
railroad traffic amounting to more than
s., 900, 600 per annum. If the New Haven
road, now probably to control the Old
Colony, becomes aggressive 1t may enter
New Hampshire and Maine, but would, of
course, sacrifice the present business now
had from that territory through the Bos-
ton and Maine. This business would then
probably go to the New York and New
England, and If the New England became
aggressive, it could put on boat line
from Providence that would be q sharp
competitor 70 the Fall River and Provf-
denee boat business Of the Old Colony, If
1t did not altogether smash the sound line
