question of degrees fer women. Though
only of the Ia members appointed on
the committee were believed TO be in IA
vor of the university's granting degrees
to women, the report is unanimous on
the main point, the only difference of
opinion being as to the form of degree
to be bestowed.
The syndicate admits that women
studying at Cambridge labor under dis
abilities that should be removed; it ad-
mits that the inconvenience of coedu-
Cation are not serious, as it is carried
on at present, and it takes the ground
that Cambridge should act at once re-
gardless of what Oxford may do. Nine
of the ii members, including the vice
chancellor of the university, propose
that titular degrees of bachelor OF arts,
master of arts and doctor of science and
literature be given to women on passing
the same examinations that men pass.
This would confer on them all the mys-
terious rights conferred by these de-
grees save those of membership of the
university and of sharing in its govern
ment. 1t would give them the substance
that they ask for, the stamp of the uni
versity on the work they have done,
and what commercial advantages at
tach to a university degree.
The minority would substitute fan
cy degree like mistress of letters or of
science for the degrees hitherto confer
red only upon men. But it agrees that
degrees of some kind should be granted
to women.
The syndicate's report must still be
acted upon by the senate-that is, the
body of the graduates-and possibly
may be rejected by that body. The sub
stantially unanimous conclusion reached
by committee many Of whose mem
bers when appointed were known to be
opposed to any concessions to women
must carry weight. 1t is evident that
the "sweet girl graduate" will soon be
reality at the English Cambridge
New York Sun.

A Lively Roman Sauce.

Garum, the black green sauce of the
Romans, was a species of universal cou-
dlment, but its principal use was for
fish. The recipe is as follows: Let the
cook take several fishes, it matters not
much which, but mackerel are the best
for the purpose. Let him take out their
entrails and put them in vinegar and
leave them there for ten days. Then let
them be taken out and dried and pow
dered i'll mortar with pepper, frumen=
ty, roots of dandelion, mint, thyme,
sage and little ginger, and well mix
ed after which the powder must be put
IN jars, together with honey, and left
to terment during several weeks When
ready for the table, it must be mixed
with Falernian wine. New York Post.

The wheclwoman of 1897.

What shall I get for wheeling? is the
cry Of every girl who rides a wheel Of
course she wishes to look well, and just
what to get is of more Importance than
a spring gown.
There are number of improvements
in this years cycling costume. In the
first place, boomers of the dress mate
rial have been found to be too heavy.
Black pongee boomers are worn, or, if
their expense is too great, black cambria.
Nor will leggings of the dress material
be worn. They stretch too much and
look ugly. High shoes that reach to the
knee will be used, i'll tan if the gown is
in any shade of brown, i'll black if it is
of any other color. Mixed tweed in the
various shades of brown is the best
material to use for the gown. 1t is made
in two pieces-jacket and short skirt.
Every person learns by experience that
the skirt wears out much more quickly
than the jacket, and the wise girls get
enough extra material for a walking
skirt. She will then have cycling suit
and walking costume with one jacket
common to them both.
Skirts should be gored, not circular,
fashion plates to the contrary. They
should be ankle length. Jackets are all
single breasted. In shape there are two
from which to select-one, a belted nor
folk, with long, rather tight, skirts; the
other, short jacket that extends about
three inches below the waist and has no
fullness whatever around the hips and
back.
The best hat to select is an alpine
trimmed with few quilts. 1t is pretti-
est if made to order of the dress mate
rial. New Orleans Times Democrat.

WHEN WE CRiTlClSE FRIENDS
The Kindness of Ignoring Trivial Mis-
takes In Our Daily Life.

The Kindness of Ignoring Trivial Mis-
takes In Our Daily Life.
"There are two kinds of mistakes,
mistakes of moment and trivial mis-
takes" writes Edward W. Box in The
Ladies Home Journal. Undoubtedly
the best service which one friend can
render another is to save him from a
mistake liable to be serious in its re-
suits, In such an act lies true friend
ship. But i'll these days of criticism,
when we are apt to criticise everything
and everybody, we are all too apt to
correct mistakes which are absolutely
trivial and not worth correcting. And
yet in calling attention to them we Of
ten hurt the feelings of our best friends.
Not one Of us, even the most good ma
tured, likes to have his mistakes point
ed out We may appear not to mind cor
rections and accept them with a smile,
but 1T is human nature to smart under
correction, although some Of us may be
clever enough to conceal the smart;
hence the fewer mistakes we call atten-
ton to i'll others the better.
"Twothirds Of the mistakes we make
are trivial. Their correction is unim-
portant Why then notice them? Yet
some people do, and do so constantly. A
person speaks Of having done a certain
thing on Thursday, when in reality it
was done Oh Wednesday, If no i1npor-
tant point is involved, why call atten-
ton to the mistake? What good does it
do to have the exact day set right? 1t is
matter of no Importance, SO why in
slst upon correcting the trivial error?
Stanch friendships have often been
prlcked by this needle of useless correc-
ton. 1t is great art-this art of learn
ing to allow others to be mistaken when
the mistake is unimportant Few learn
It, but those who do are among the
most comfortable friends one can have.

"Furs are easy enough to keep during
warm weather." said storer of furs
the other day when approached on the
subject. eff ladies would only use a
few simple preventives, they could keep
them at home as well as we can i'll our
storerooms. Of course fur garment is
better hung up than folded away in a
box or trunE--first, because there is
less danger of crushing and wrinkles;
second, because moths can be more
readily seen at their work. The best
plan is to select dark closet and have
it papered all over, top and bottom,
with tar paper. AS its surface is sticky,
it should be covered with second coat
of paper to prevent the clothes coming
III direct contact with the tar. For this
second coat find newspapers as good as
anything that can be used. Perhaps the
smell of printers ink helps the tar do
its work, or it may be because newspa-
per is porous and allows the tar odor to
come through more readily. Before
hanging in this closet all garments,
both fur and wool, should be carefully
beaten with n slender cane.
Here is the great secret of keeping
furs-it is III cleaning them before they
are put away If moth or moth egg
goes into the closet with them the dam
age is only partially prevented. While
the egg will hatch the moth only lives
for a short while and cannot increase,
but during that brief life 1 have known
these little insects to spoil the beauty
of an elegant garment. Sc the greatest
care should be taken to beat and comb
furs clean before storing them away.
For this purpose a fur comb should be
used, or a slender, strong cane, that
will reach the skin itself. The safest
plan is to remove the garments from
the closet about once month and give
them thorough beating. Some persons
hang them in the sun on these occa-
sions, believing that the sun destroys
moths and moth eggs, while, as a mat
ter of fact, it matches the eggs, and,
like any other heat, makes the moth
thrive.
where only a chest or trunk or, as
is sometimes the case, only pasteboard
bo&>is to be had, then the management
is different. After the cleaning process,
which is always the same, it is best for
the chest, box or trunk to be lined with
tar paper, after the same manner as the
