PERFECT ARMS.
Society and Stage Boast Many Who
Own Beautiful Ones.

From the N. Y. Commercial-Advertise
There are numerous women who are
noted for their beautiful and graceful
arms, which artists claim are the
least common of all points of beauty
Some of them are society women and
some of them are stage queens. The
divine Sara's" arms are almost as
noted as her golden voice.
Emma Eames has more classically
perfect arms than even most beautiful
women. Miss Morris, of Baltimore,
the sister of Mrs. Gebhardt, is noted
for the grace and beauty of her arms.
And there are numerous other lesser
lights both on the stage and in society
who boast remarkable arms.
But unless these ladies find upon
careful measurement that their arms
are nodded in the following proper
tions they may not claim to be clas-
sically correct, One celebrated statue
of Venus show these DrODOrtiOns.

THE SAME ADVANTAGES

Will be Accorded the Young Women of
the College as is Given the Young Men.
AT the meeting of the Trustees of
Marietta College held Tuesday at the
home of General Dawes, the Board re.
solved upon departure from the pre-
sent plan of operations, in that they
will consolidate the two branches into
one. This is done because the idea OF
economy and efficiency suggest it; for
though the present arrangement is
satisfactory in many respects, it is an
expensive one.
The resolution in recittng the present
distressed condition of the treasury of
the College, has to say in part:
70 the Trustees of Marietta College
is therefore presented the alternative
either of abandoning the higher educa-
tion of women, or OF permitting them
to enter the same classes with the
young men. 70 take the former course
would seem now TO be unwise, when
the tendency of the times is undoubt-
edlv in the direction of educating the
sexes toge ther. There are but three
importa institutions and these insti-
tutions have an aggregate enrolment
of less than 600 students in the West
that continue as Colleges exclusively
for young men, and many of the East
are opening their doors to young
women. 1t would also seem to be in Il
sense wrong, for responsibility once
assumed by an educational institution
can never be abandoned without in.
jury, and perhaps injustice to many.
The College undertook the education
of women in 1898 and has continued it
honora bly, and successfully ever since
To abandon it now would be to remove
the one opportunity offered to young
women in all the country naturally
tributary to this center to acquire the
higher education, and it would be a
amounting to an injustice to
the large number of young women
now in the institution. Accordingly
Marietta College can not now afford to
run the risk of abandoning this great
undertaking. While the giving up of
the Marietta College for Women is on
many accounts to be deplored, yet the
loss to its students can be fully COM
pensated by the additional facilities
and opportunities which may be en-
joyed by throwing all departments of
Marietta College open to them.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED, That after
the close of the present College year,
the instruction in the Marietta College
for Women be given in connection with
the classes of Marietta College where
practicable; that all departments of
Marietta College and Academy be
opened alike to men and women.
1t is also ordered that the buildings
now occupied by the Marietta College
for Women be retained for the Music
and Art departments and as home for
the young women.

THE ANrIsrITTING CRUSADE.

The stand taken by various cities
against the ungenteel habit of eXpecto-
rating on the sidewalks and in public
conveyances is an encouraging sign OF
the times The medical fraternity is
still discussing the question whether or
not this promiscuous splitting actually
carries and spreads diseases such as
consumption, diphtheria and other
throat and lung troubles, but entirely
aside from this question, the one OF
mere cleanliness is to be considered.
If eXpectorations were necessary in
public conyeyances, or on the sidewalk,
the problem wonld have two sides, but
this is not the case.
Cincinnati, always alert in the ques-
tions of the hour, is already at work on
the matter. Health Officer Pendergast
is looking up all the points involved,
and will prepare some statistics of
them which he will submit to the B. of
A, which will doubtless take action
promptly in making a it punishable Of
fense 10 spit on the sidewalks or floors
of cars. The street car company has
signited its intention of aiding the
breaking up of the disgusting habit,

itself rid of an ever present nuisance
