Here is a story, says the New York
Journal, with a moral. In Queens Col
] lege, London, twelve years ago there was
1 a maid with mind for mathematics. Her
friends used to say to her: wait until
\ you marry and you viii wish you knew
more of Group and cookery and less of
/ calculus" But the mathematical maid
/ laughed them to seorn. Il shall never
/ marry" she said. Il shall be a senior
| wrangler and then a professor and the
/ first mathematician in all England" The
/ young woman is now Mrs. Beerbom Tree.
I The moral of the story is that mathemati-
| cal pursuits are not necessarily fatal to
1 marriage.
