FIRST TRIUMPH

Woman to the Front AS a
Debater in Cornell
University.
ON THE PRIZE EIGHT.
Miss Laughlin Tells How She
Accomplished a Feat in
Which Others Failed.

Miss Gail III. Laughlin, of the Law
department of Cornell University, has
distinguished herself beyond all others
of her sex in the particular line which
she has chosen. The line is not a usual
one among woman, for reasons which
Miss Laughlin herself fully explains.
Notwithstanding the fact that woman
enjoys the reputation of always having
the last word in any dispute, man has
universally declared that he invariably
yields the case out of politeness to the
fair sex,-but of course if it came to a
real debate, why there could be no
question but that he would get the best
of the argument
In this assumption, strange to say,
not many of her sex have cared or
dared to dispute the lords of creation,
but Miss Laughlin, who expects to earn
her living by beating those same
lords" in debate on points of law, has
shown in a perfectly fair contest that
one woman at least stands on an equal
footing with seven of the best male de-
baters among the two Thousand stu
dents at Cornell. That is, she is one
of the eight who have been chosen on
their merits to make the final test for
excellence in the argumentative branch
of the college curriculum; and in ac-
complishinG this feat she has done
what no woman has ever succeeded in
doing before. A number of young wo-
men have tried more than once to do
what Miss Laughlin has done, but for
various reasons they have always been
unsuccessful.
Proficiency in debate is almost the
only means, outside of athletics. by
which college students are able to bring
themselves before the general public
1t is all very we'll to have ones name

gramme with magma cum laude or

tion upon the preservation o. ealth
and beauty:
Take a wholesome delight in phys
ica1 exercise and out door sports. The
pale, delicate girl is no longer "inter-
esting."
Have freedom and comfort in dress
at all times.
Decide upon a definite aim in life, and
choose one that is worthy of an innmor-
tai soul.
Be superior to envy, jealousy, and
uncharitableness.
Control your temper for the sake of
your good looks as we'll as for your
health 1t is not enough, either, mere
ly to keep from giving anger it's out
ward expression. A srnouldering fire Is
far more dangerous to health than that
which comes to the surface and IS
quickly extinguished. A disposition
which continually "boils' within, often
finds physical expression in boils and
ulcers. Wrath has a natural tendency
to curdle the blood, and the continually
curdled condition is bound to show it
self on the surface sooner or later. 1t

HERE VIII be plaid underwear
next. The latest is a plaid cor
set, and after that the transition
to striped and cross-barred
chemises is very short. The cor
set is made of plaid ribbon and the
effect of this garment combined with a
plaid silk petticoar to match is exceed
ingly fetching-so much so, that the
disrobing soubrette is likely to adopt
1t as her next drawing card on the va
rlety stage.
Plaid slippers have also stepped into
line as the newest thing for dancing,
and not merely stage dancing either.
The up-to-date girl of the fashionable
set will trip through the labyrinths of
the most intricate cotillon in plaid foot
gear-including of course, the hose to
match. With slippers to go with the
plaid hose, the latter will be more popu-
lar than ever, and, to anticipate the
demand, shopkeepers have lined their
counters with plaid stockings by the
dozen in every design that can be de-
vised. Plaid footwear looks best when
worn with black tulle and gauze, be-
cause the dark color serves as an effec-
tive background. For the same reason

cross-bars in her dress goods, the dam
sci of the large foot should shun plaid
slippers, for the design is one which
inevitably magnifies the size of what
ever 1t covers.
Silk petticoats in plaid weaves have
become necessary adjunct to almost
any woman's wardrobe. One of the
prettiest variations on the much-worn
garment is to trim it with plain taffeta,
exactly reversing the original design
when plaids first came out A cross
bar with a decided blue note is trimmed
with plain blue ruffle, about twelve
inches wide, and with three narrow
plaid ruffles set on at intervals of two
inches, thus showing the plain blue be-
tween.
Velours plaids for waists and early
spring capes are very brilliant. They
will be extremely stylish for street
wear when heavy wraps begin to come
off.
Velours has been made up into all
sorts OF street wraps. In the form of q
cape it is rather passe. but it has taken
a final stand as material for the Rus
sian blouse, and here it seems to find
considerable favor. AS AN outside jack

A japanese NJ. E. Church.

The first Japanese Christian church
building in America was dedicated in
San Francisco a few years ago. The
church is of the Methodist Episcopal
denomination and has a membership of
over 800. The society was founded in
1877 by the late DR.. Otis Gibson, and a
memorial window in the edifice COM
memorates his services. The building
is a combination of church and mis-
sion, the main auditorium being IN the
upper story, while below are the chapel,
school room and offices. with the dor
mitories of the mission in the rear.

"As to drawbacks arising from the
fact that l am a woman: The debate
is open to all students on equal terms,
as I have said. The only drawback
which a woman would find would be
prejudice, due to the sole fact that she
is a woman. That there is much of
this prejudice at Cornell is true. But
prejudice is something which depends
on circumstances for its effectiveness.

An Indiana editor, whose mind must
be constructed on the morrow gauge
plan, recently attempted to cast some
unkind reflections upon the Toledo
Blade because the editors of that paper
give attention to the editorial columns
OF country exchanges. Such vaporings
of the Hoosier editor only emphasize
the dignity and greatness of the Blade
and magnify the littleness of his own
publication and himself. The Blade
publishes items of merit, only, and is
honest enough to give credit whore
credit is due, and it is therefore moth
ing to wondered at that the country
editors feel kindly toward the Blade.
That papers course not only encourages
better work among the country breth-
ren, by displaying true fraternal feel
ing, but also brightens its own columns
by plncking the best from their neigh,
bors and bringing home to their owr
columns. There is nothing small abou
the Blade on its editors.
