naise colored pale green or pink.

Dean Talbot of the Chicago Univer-
sity asked as to advice she would give
to a young woman just graduated says:
THAT would depend greatly on her tenn
fl-ai min
of thing. Nearly every one, / find, has
an inclination towards some particular
work. with plans formulated by the
time she is ready to leave school. Every
young woman should set about some
thing that is certain; not necessarily a
profession. 1t may be she is needed at
home. In that case her duties are clear
ay there. To my mind women are much
behind what they could be and ought to
be in their own special field. House
keeping is considered drudgery, when in
reality it is one of the most complicated
and difficult professions. 1t often in

of different foods, or the way in which
they may be utilized to the best ad-
vantage. The recent discoveries along
that line have been made by men when
they should have been made by women
long ago."

Young carrots make an excellent

In a new game similar to that OF a
circulating library the guests each rep

given to those making the greatest
number of guesses, as well as to those
