slaves of their husbands and fathers, they were not humiliated in any way. A woman's person was sacred. She might not be touched or harmed and could pass alone through the widest parts of the country without fear. The stranger was given woman or girl for guide as a sign that he was a friend and might be trusted to. go anywhere.
 During the ten years that have elaps- ed since the war things have been rap idly changing. The fear of the Otto man has passed away and with it the everpresent necessity that imposed up- on Montenegro the duty of remaining nation in arms. Defective harves.s can no longer be remedied by predatory raids, and Prince Nicholas has turned his attention to educating his people in the ways of civilization. Formerly learning was little thought of in Mon tenegro, and even now many of the older warriors and statesmen can neither read nor write. But the prince has changed all that. He is great lover of education and has covered his prin- cipality with elementary schools for the
 benefit of boys and girls alike, while at >Cettinje is the Russian institute, where a certain number of Montenegrin girls receive more or less European educa- tion and are initiated into civilized

we'll poised, regards the college as the end and the aim of her existence. Too often, when she has to earn her own living, she is helpless. Very little Greek literature is needed to take a dictation on the typewriter, manage a set of books or sell yard of ribbon. "Ah. but" says the college girl, If I need to earn my living T. shah teach Creek" How many Greek teachers are demand ed for this entire country? And how many women applying for such posi- tions are likely to gain them when they make their requests in badly written, badly spelled and badly worded letters?
 I firmly believe that the more a wo- man knows about everything, the more capable she Is. But she's got to get her brain set at level first of all. She's got to put everything at it's right valuation. and she's got to realize that a thorough knowledge of the three R's means more than all the Greek litera- ture that ever was taught or studied.

Patti'S Voice.

A story is told about Mime. Patti which explains why that lady takes such ten- der care of her voice. A few years ago Sir Morell Mackenzie asked out of curi- osity to examine her throat. Mme. Patti was frightened and thought that some- thing must be wrong. Eventually she was persuaded to consent to the experi- ment. Mackenzie made her open her mouth wide and asked her to ejaculate "Oh!" and 'Ahi" in various keys and times. At the end of the examination he told her that she had a throat of a girl of 20, that she would be able to sing without the slightest trace of failing power for another ten years and that at the end of that time, if she was still as particular with herself, she might pro- long her career for ten years more. flor it all depends not so much on the voice as on the care you take of it."

ways and customs. Every year educa- tion is spreading; the girls are learning to read and write and finding out more of the position of their sisters in the great countries of Europe.
 Soon Montenegro will be face to face with the awkward question, Who is to do the work of the principality? Will these educated girls be content to go back to their villages and resume their peasant life? Will they be content to lapse into what their mothers afe to forget useless education which has led to nothing. and to resume the heredita- ry tasks of digging in the fields and staggering under heavy loads, while the men smoke cigarettes in the sun or swagger down the narrow street in gay coat, with belt full of revolvers and yataghans?

talk about her college, her foolish idea that woman couldn't be intelligent un- less she was college taught and her continually going to various alumnn meetings-all over the country. He hoped she would get tired of this. Now she is the mothers of two dear little children, and she proposes leaving her home in the charge of young, pretty cousin, while she, wife and mother, goes back to her college to take special course in Greek literature.
 Properly enough this man asked, "Can my wife blame me if drift from her, since her college, her college chums and the benefits to be gained from her college are more to her than her hus- band. her home and her children?" Do I blame him? I only blame him for one thing, and that is for not putting a stop to this college business when it first began. The place of the average woman is at home. I don't want her to be slave to a man-no woman is un- less she chooses-but I fail to see that any good is gained by chasing around the country, making speeches at diff ferent alumne meetings and being call ed Mrs. Adelaide Simmons Brown" when as a married woman she ought to be proud to be known as Mrs. James Brown
 The college girl rises up and says, "Do you want women to be ignorant?' and say very positively. that I fail to see the value of good many things that are taught at college. Too many girls learn to be ashamed of their homes; too many girls learn to be ashamed of everything but the college and its in- habitantS. se

 years.
 For nearly 800 years the black moun- taineers watched with their arms in their hands to repel Turkish attack or supplemented their own scanty harvests by frequent raids on the rich plains of Albania and Herzegovina. Every man was warrior from his boyhood to his old age, and when he was not fighting was perfecting himself in the use of his weapons. As natural consequence, all work done in Montenegro had to be done by the women. They worked in the fields, made gardens out of barren angles of rock and grew the corn and vegetables for the family's use. They were the beasts of burden, for man with an arsenal of weapons in his belt and who might at any turn of the road come across deadly enemy could not afford to be encumbered with a load, but was forced to keep his hands free to defend himself and his property at moments notice.
 Therefore, if anything had to be car ried to or from market, the good wife strapped It across her shoulders, and with bent back and laborious footsteps plodded after her lord and master who. for his part, strode over the rocks with head erect and with his hand resting on his arms, proud in the consciousness that he had cut off so many Turks heads in the last foray and in the fact that his patient wife could carry a cer- tain number of pounds weight more than the wives of his ncighbors. If he was forced to speak of her, he apolo- gized for her existence in the Arabfash- ion and politely asked pardon for men, tioning such Q subject

She has learned what she ought not to learn, and left unlearned that which would have been of advan- tage to her. But she is a very common type. And she is making men and wo- men realize the value of thoroughness in education.
 A superficial knowledge of Greek and Latin is worth nothing to the average woman. A thorough knowledge of the English language, thorough knowl- edge of her own country and of the needs in life of both men and women, Is the knowledge that we want for our girls. .le .ae...-. ,i4
 know you are laughing, but even Bab grows serious once in while when she sees sweet, young, ambitious girls l--ade dissatisfied and swretched for the rest of their lives by the four years spent at college. Let your girl learn all that she can, but be sure that sheknows some things well. Be sure that your daughter spells well. Be sure that your daughter writes a good, clear, sensible letter. Be sure that your daughter is we'll posted, not only in the history of her own country but in the history of the world. Be sure that your daughter is good arithmetician.

It is not necessary that sheishould be stroke oar in the famous crew of 1897. It is not necessary that her picture be published all over the country as the best gymnast in her year.

The New Skirt.

One of the distinctive features of the new skirt is that it is cut very long in front. The feet must be completely hid- den and the front breadth must be as narrow as possible. Most skirts made of double width material will have one narrow front breadth and a widely gor- ed one at each side to give the requisite fullness at the back. Plainly made skirts will be favored, such trimmings as are used being almost exclusively flat ones and applied either to the lower part or running up each side of the front breadth. Flounces will only be used for evening dresses and will not reach much above the knee. sfi

 Sometimes the college girl of this type does not learn what an idiot she is un- til her lesson has been an ultra severe one. What can sensible people think of the value of college education to a girl when such a story as this is by no means uncommon:
 An intelligent man wrote to me, ask ing my advice. He had married charming girl who was graduated from one of the well known colleges for wo- men. He loved her devotedly. During the early years of their married life he sometimes grew weary of her continual

"Yes, ma'am," re- piled the officer, I'm very sorry" So pretty Miss Adams opened the box and the inspector went to work and was blushing among silk stock ings, daintiest f1eshings and snowy lin- gerie, and beneath all he found slowed away bicycle. The officer would not have been more surprised if he had found a man. but Miss Adams pre- served her sang froid' and shrugged her shoulders when told that she must pay $2250 duty on the wheel.
