graduates become teachers or ornament
homes. Many Of the preachers, being
good takers, do not undertake the regu-
lation three years course in theology,
but go right ahead and discourse from
the pulpits. learnedly or otherwise.
Women do not, on the whole. seem to
care to pursue a liberal college course
where they have definite professional
purpose In view. They become doctors
through practice as nurses and study
with physicians. They become preach
ers through feeling what they count as
inspiration" and lawyers through Of
flee service under prominent jurists.
Perhaps existing conditions will
change, but at the present is is fact
that outside Of the teaching profession
the women's colleges furnish small
proportion of those who are gifted and
successful in the professions.

a n unwarranted

growth, altogether unexpected, too.
First came slight extension Of tho
front into stole ends; little by little
this extension was aggravated and in
creased until they now reach the foot
of the skirt, and are Of generous width.
With such fur rig no other wrap is
needed even on the coolest days. The
huge muffs are feature of the in
creased size of all fur garments. The
muffs of moderate dimensions are not
to be thought of for moment. They
are utterly passe and out of date. If
your muff happens to be one of the I'M
fortunate small sort. it is a very easy
matter to adjust it, by arranging deep
frills of velvet, to match the costume,
around each opening, with full twist
of the velvet on top, arranged so as to
form a holding-on place for the big
choux Of grayish lace and the huge
bunch of posies and fur tails. Some

francs week up, and the board is as
low as the management can afford to
make it. There is large reception
room, a we'll equipped library and an
adjoining tea room, where daily fivo
o'clock is held. Once month the club
issues invitations for a dancing party,
and these social features are much ap-
preciated. particular function of the
club is the Christmas art sale, at which
the students may either enter their
work, with the restriction that no price
affixed shall exceed 100 francs. They
often depend on this sale to help them
out of present and impending difficult
ties

and the longing for small creature COM
forts is constant friction on a sensitive
nature that makes her irritable and
melancholy.
A Paris spring and an early summer
are. climaticaIly. a foretastc of Para
disc; but it is during the winter months
that the art schools flourish, and it is
winter that brings the hardships. The
Latin Quarter is lined with apartments,
studios and pensions for accommoda-
ton of students, and old buildings that
have stood a century are often put to
this use. These are naturally draughty
and damp, with French easement win
dows that have to be draped with blan-
kets to keep the snow from drifting in,
and doors with half-inch ventilation
all around, so that even with fire
the girls must sit on their feet and
blow their fingers TO keep them from
slowly congealirg. Some of them dis
pense with the fire. Coal is sixty cents
a bag, and bag does not last long.
1t, therefore, comes under the head OF
Injuries; but as the atelier is warm and
the day is spent there, they heroically
wrap themselves in shawls for an eve
ming at home and go to bed early.
The popular way of living is to rent
a studio and keep house on the CO.
operative plan, and the first idea is to
make the place artistic. The girl with
art in her soul would rather go without
her dinner than not have color and eff
feet in her surroundings. A fad of the
students is to decorate the walls of
the studio with the striking and often
startling Autographs that have made
theatrical billposting distinct branch
OF French art, and there is not studio
among them that is unadorned. 1t re-
uuires not little ingenuity to retain the
individuality of the studio when the
one room serves fer sleeping and eat
ing purposes but clever management
accomplishes it. Couches, ornamental

Labrador Is not considered desirable
place in which to live, yet the people
who live there seem to enjoy l.. One of
the advantages is that they do not have
to nay rent. Most of the people own u
summer house and winter house. The
summer house is on the coast. The
people live in these houses from June to
October. The good fishing season Is
during these months and this is the
principal industry Of the people. They
catch, dry and sell the fish to traders
and thus purchase their winter sup
plies. The winter houses are on the
shore of an island, lake or river and
built in the shelter of trees. In the win
ter the men hunt for rabbits, cartridges
and other small game and trap the fur
bearing animals. Wood cutting is also
an industry, but does not bring money.
The wood Is for their own use. Part OF
the time the weather is so severe that
there is no possibility for work or fun
out of doors.
Winter is the time of visiting The
dogs are harnessed and the whole fam
lily cross the lake or river for a visit.
Dancing is the evening amusement. The
people of Labrador are kindly, home

that have bathrooms are easily counted,
but to make up for the deficiency the
city is generously supplied with public
baths at prices from l franc to 8. This
means. of course, an extra expense to
the girls, and if they feel they cannot
afford it the only resource is hurried
and unsatisfactory session behind the
screen.
Those who make business of living
cheaply generally find 1t more pronta-
BILE to patronize the innumerable cares
restaurants and creameries that thrive
at the expense of the students in the
Latin Quarter. 1t is a proverD that
nothing goes to waste In French
kitchen, and this is the only way or ac-
counting for the low prices that pre-
vail in these places. With l franc
dinner from soup to coffee inclusive
may be eaten, and for half franc
very satisfactory meal, all Clearly
served and we'll cooked, may be had.
Studying at present in the Academic
Montparnasse, under MacMonnles,. COL
lin, Aman Jean and Merson, are many
American girls of whom their country
has already reason for being proud. one
who will he remembered in connection
with the worlds fair decorations is MISS
Zulime Taft, whose work has received
high ecomiums from art critics. we
are trying to accomplish something,
said Miss Taft. modestly, because,
somehow, our friends are expecting It."
Miss Janet Scudder of Terre Haute
is also in the public eye, and last year
received the distinction of being select

assistant, in whose atelier she is now at
work. Her wood carving decorated sew

and Indiana buildings. Maud HUM
phrey, Mrs. Madeline Smith, Miss Alice
Randall, now Mrs. Fred Marsh; MISS
Dodge, Miss King, all familiar Names
are Americans whose work was accept
ed at the last salon.
Another of his pupils of whom Mr..
MacMonnies is particularly proud, IL
Miss Carrie Brooks of Chicago. Per-
sonally she is piquant and charming, 70
years old, with record of small sue
cesses behind her that promise much
for the future. She began her studies
at the art institute in her own city,
and has been in Paris one year. Her
present work, still unfinished, is a stat
uette for Mrs. Cyrus Mccormick, rep
resentation of the foolish Virgin, which
Miss Brooks has named Too Late.
This will be exhibited at the next salon.
This artist also contributed to the
beauty of the fair, and worked under
Mr.. Taft in decorating the several
buildings, besides being represented IN
the art building.
Miss Brooks has taken child life for
her specially, and puts soul into the
clay models because she loves the pudgy
baby faces; all her heart is in her work,
and the Mecca of her hopes and ambi-
tons is the power of Dampt.

Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

It is somewhat remarkable fact that
out of the upward Of 1000 women Of
this country who are physicians, not
more than 200 have college training,
according to President Thwing Of the
Western Reserve University. OF the

fact that the colleges have contributed

phenomenon than any other city; but
if she has always had a good home,
with some one always near to take the
small worries off her shoulders, and
domestic economy has not been part
of her education, it is mistake to go
abroad to study If she has only little
money. There are hundreds of Amer
lean girls in Paris who, starting out
bravely to win laurels at any cost,
are paying the penalty OF poor living
in careworn looks, unhealthy complex
ions and wrecked digestions. For
girl who is not used to it, the petty
deprivations of an economical life are
a positive menace to health. The little
conveniences that she took as matter
of course at home amount to necessities

Fashion Notes.

Beautiful. finely woven, large, round
baskets now come cheap, ana after be-
ing gilded or painted a delicate color
are exceedingly pretty for holding
palms or large plants.
An attractive addition to children's
toys are animals made of wood and
decorated with poker-work. There are
cats, horses. pigs, dogs, camels and
tigers, and the meek and patient-look-
Ing mule is not forgotten.
A novelty in pin-cushions is tiny
stand upon which the cushion is placed
This stand Is about fourteen inches
long BY eight inches WIDE and rests on On
four round posts or balls. 1t is of woed
and is either carved or decorated in
poker-work, or it may be veneered in
different woods.
Funeral flowers are no longer al.
white, and set pieces are not desired.
Boxes ofloose flowers are most often
sent by friends. although small wreaths
are still used, but have become SO full
