One has kind of contempt for the col
lector who has no speciality and buys with
out discrimination and even without in
spection. Mr.. Heber, the brother of the
bishop, was a purchaser Of this class. "A
book is a book, he said, and he bought all
that came in his way by carloads and ship
loads and in whole libraries, on which, In
some cases, he never cast his eyes. The
most jealous lovers of books have smiled at
his duplicates, quadruplicates and multi
piled specimens of single edition.
Rawlinson, another English collector, had
the same insensate craving, and if he had ~
copies of "A book would always buy another.
"Ilis coyetousness increased as the mass OF
his library was multiplied, and ms he lived, ~
said Oldys, 80 he died among dust and cob
webs, ia his bundles, piles and bulwarks Of
paper"
or a similar disposition was the far more
famous Antonio Magliabecchi, who is said
TO have lived on titles and indexes, and
whose very pillow was folio. "The old
bibliomanias lived in kind of cave made
Of piles and masses of books, with hardly
any room for his cooking or for the wooden
cradle lined with pamphlets which he slung
between his shelves for a bed. He died in
l7l4, in his eighty-second year, dirty, ragged
and as happy as king" Another Floren
tine of that tcentury-Giovanni Lami-show

with manuscript in his arms. "'Tis hard

A writer of experience, whose motto is
"a place for everything and everything In
its place." suggests that instead of having
boots, shoes and slippers strewn about
closets a special bag should be provided
for them. l have tried this myself and
find 1t to be an excellent idea. Much Of
woman's hard work is due TO the fact that
she does not always take the easiest and

Tie College Woman.

In his sens ible and unprejudiced book

Thwing really tells the whole story and

which the college trains is the ultimate

1ege The type of character which it forms
and the influence Of this type are now be-
coming revealed. The early fears that
mannishness would supplant womanliness
In the graduate have been proved ground
less. The early fears, too, that educated
women would prefer TO enter professional
rather than domestic life have vanished.
So long as the family Is the unit of civil
lization SO long will most women prefer to
be at the head of "A home to being at the head
of any professional or commercial under
taking. And all the acquired knowledge,
all the force of disciplined strength, all
the enlarged nobility of character which
the college may have contributed will find
In the home lifting opportunities for use. "

Girls learn ut an early age to prefer

the duty of every mother who values the
real beauty of her children's feet to restrain
this tendency toward pointed toes, narrow
lasts and high heels Until girl reaches
the age of 10 she should wear spring heelcd
boots, and between that age and the time
when she becomes her own mistress in
dressing she should wear low heels. If she
cares to deform herself, then that is a mat
ter which concerns only herself.
Growing ankles need the support of
high shoes. Low shoes and slippers should
therefore be tabooed. Lace boots are bet.

WHAT TO DO WITH ONES MONEY!
Suggestions For Those who Do Not
"Spend as They Co"

"Spend as They Co"
A woman who probably voices the
question of a great many other women
writes to ask how she shall invest her
savings. She is working woman who
has accumulated small sum, which
she naturally wishes to use in accumu-
lating more. The amount she has saved
10 not large enough for her to invest in
real estate or in any large enterprise.
About two years ago this same ques-
ton was asked, and we put the problem
before the leading business men and
financiers. They answered the question
almost unanimously. They advocated
the saving of the money i'll savings
banks at small rate of interest until
such time as there should be sufficient
money to invest in good first mort
gage or in desirable real estate. The
veason for this decision was that wom
III are seldom fitted by education and
training to take part wisely in ventures.
They are likely to be the prey of design
ing spectators. They are almost inva-
riably incapable of taking care of them
selves properly in any sort of specula-
tive scheme. The savings banks offer
secure place for depositing money, and
the income from them, while small, is
certain. -Four p cent, assured and safe,
is better for most women than larger
profits and greater risks
When the small sum has grown to be
considerable one, first mortgages on
good property form an admirable invest
ment for women 5 savings. They yield
an income Of about per cent in most
states and are about as safe as saving
banks. Land has an agreeable quality
of remaining where it is, and improve
ments on land when mortgaged are al
ways insured, so that there is little dan
ger of loss to the holder of a first mort
gage By a first mortgage is meant the
one which, III case of failure of the own
er of the property to pay the interest or
the amount of the loan in due time,
will be paid first.
Investment in real estate is not so
satisfactory. Property in places where
the value Of land is not liable to be di-
unfinished costs a good deal, in the first
place. Then there are taxes, insurance
and constant repairs to decrease the
profits. Still land has an advantage of
other investments In Its comparative
stability. st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
