And is superb issue in every re.

interesting reading matter being
largely increased. The article in
the college series describes a girls
life and work at Smith, and is writ
ten by a recent and brilliant gradu-
ate. There is also a very suggestive
and entertaining paper on grammar
school commencement. Nursing
as an employment for women is ably
treated by Louise Darche, Superin-
tendent of the New York City Train
ing school for Nurses. An appropri-
ate ''pattern' article, in addition to
the regular monthly issue, is on
Dress for Summer sports, and an
other, equally suitable to the time,
gives information on trunks and
trunk packing. The opening chap
ter on vocal culture, by the author
of Delsarte Physical culture, is in
this number, and should prove as
beneficial as the series just closed.
The papers on Hygienic Living are
continued; and the confidence that
should exist between mother and
daughter is the theme of tie article
bearing that title. A Rosebud
party is described, and other contri-
buttons are how to serve small fruits,
Daintiness in the Home, the ever
popular ea-table gossip, and among
the Newest books. The articles on
knitting, tatting, netting and crochet
