MEN AND DANCING.
A Girls Estimate of Those Who Do
and Those Who Don't.

A Girls Estimate of Those Who Do
and Those Who Don't.
From the Chicago Record.
She had been to a party the night before,
and she was looking correspondingly pale,
tired and interesting. When I saw her she
had just eaten a hearty breakfast, consist
ing of one slice of cantaloupe and one cup Of
coffee.
did you have a coed time last night?' I
inquired, beam;ng at her with my best smile.
mo, didn't" she said shortly.
"Why, dear? Didn't you have plenty of
paItners?"
"Oh, yes, of course But I've discovered,
one thing docking very wise and importantly,
and that is that the incest men either can't
dance or won't dance. They stand around
and look bored, while we poor girls have to
waltz with the clowns. They are splendid
partners-oh, yes. but they're such dummi IS
time drags horribly. One says the same old
things to each man: DO you like to dance,
Mr.. STUPID? Really? How Interestingly
Nice floor isn't it? Yes, such 8 pretty
ball room. The hostess is sweet. isb't she?
Such delightful home, too-et cetera, ct
cetera, ad nauseum.
Then If a girl does get sensible bright
fellow to ask her to dance this is what hap
pers.'
She threw open her closet door and brought
out the ffnery which had been worn the night
before. The tulle ruff1e around the bolt ON
was torn into rags and the tips of the white
satin slippers had been trodden upon till
manned.
Did you go to the circus?" asked the girl,
irrelevantly.
Yes" responded I, wondering what that
led up to.
Then you saw the elephants dance quad
rifle. Didn't they do it we'll? 1 am sure
that half the partners 1 have don't dance
nalI as wen as those great big, silly looking
elephants. A man who walks on ones gown.
treads on ones toes, tears ones fiounces
and smashes ones fan is sure to be college
professor. And the fellow who waltzes ci-
certain to be brainless dolt; write that on
your boomers for future reference" and
this hippant young person began darning Ter
oall dress with seemingly needless force.

coeducation and Marriage.

From an Exchange
The president Of the Leland Stanford
University, David Starr Jordan, asks the
question: Does coeducation lead to matri-
mony?' then he proceeds to answer it as
follows: Most certainly it does; and this
fact need not be, and cannot be, denied
But such marriages are not usually pre-
mature And 1t is certainly true that no
better marriages can be made than those
founded on common interests and intellec-
tual friendships. A college man who has
known college women is not drawn to wo-
men of lower ideals and inferior training,
He is likely to be strongly drawn toward
the best he has known. A college woman
is not led by mere propinquity to accent
the attentions of inferior men. 1t is part
Of the legitimate function of higher educa-
ton to prepare women as well as men for
happy and successful lives

First Scientist-"Eureka! What a find!

Second Scientist-"It is unlike any rock

mighty iceberg in the ages that are gone"
Third Scientist-"There are mountains
near here. 1t may have come down in

Fourth Scentist-'.It is unlike any of the
rock on these mountains In fact it is I'M

In the new navy of the United States sew
eral classes of vessels are comprised. The
government has adopted the policy OF con-
structing one small model to represent each
type of warship in the service. Thus min
iature copies have been made of the armored
battle ship Texas, the monitor Miantonomoh,
the ram Katahdn and others. Seven men
at the Washington navy yard are constantly
employed in building these models. which
cost from 5000 to 5000 apiece. These
artisans are mechanics of the highest skill,
and the work they do is such as to require
special training. Workmanship of the
utmost difficulty Is needed, many Of the
parts being so little that an ordinary per-
son could not handle them or put them to-
gether. Everything must be reproduced
down to the smallest block for the running
rigging.
