WELzEsLEY's BOATING CREWS.
Benents 20 Fair Students from Rowing and
Other Physical TRAILING.


This winter all tho class boating crews at
Wellesley go into tho gymnasium for regular
training preparatory to the summer boat race
on the lake within the college grounds. Tho
first attempt at scientific training In oarsman
ship was made on the lake last autumn and
with marked success. 1t was not until the
fall OF 1891 that physical training was made q
full and regular course In the college. Now
every freshman that enters Wellesley receives
q thorough physical examination. including
measurements and strength tests. and from
each three hours work are required each

an increased capacity for mental application.
1t is an Interesting fact that while the records
show an increase In strength Of 100 or 100
pounds In the back in six months. the strength
OF the legs sometimes declines rather than In
ereases. indicating that the young women
entered college than to exercising other menu
hers OF the body than the locomotive extremi-
ties. A woman examiner and q woman In
structor have charge OF this department. but
their work is much hindered by the inefficient
room and appliances Of the gymnasium, which
can Accommodate only the freshman class at
ono time In the regular drill.

FEMININE GUESTS At HOTELS.

Their troublesome CaprIc.s. and Also the
Undesirable Things They Don't DO.
A woman IN a hotel Is like q live wire on a
frolic or q runaway horse at a funeral. She
can give and countermand more orders in If
teon minutes after her trunks come up than q
man could think OF in a week. She writes half
o dozen letters . day. using three or four
sheets OF tho hotel paper In ench one. and
calls up q bell boy to mail each one separate
ly. She puts all sorts OF things In the safe.
and no one minds that SO much as the things
she doesn't put there. but is perfectly sure she
did. or course she finds them up stairs under
the pillow. and apologies so prettlly one
can't help but be glad she made the mistake.
She never makes out q wash list. but she
knows" exactly what she had. and ono pair
