critic. had always been bitterly op-
posed to the progressive woman until
he was persuaded, while in this coun-
try, to lecture to the college girls at
Bryn Mawr. He was introduced to
three hundred girls and promptly con-
verted. His speedy conversion was the
result of making the following discov-
cries: That higher education does not
necessarily mean lesser physical BEAU

bright eyes can all dwell together in
unity in one pretty head; that Euclid
and Redeem can go hand in hand, and
that philosophy and frivolity are fire.

not look very different from ordinary
umbrellas, but unfolded and raised the
distinction is apparent. Extreme light
ness characterizes them. The handles
are very artistic and decorative, OF
lightweight and light-colored woods.
The silks used are very thin and are of
two different shades of black, arranged
in stripes, this effect being very pleas
ing under a broiling sun. These UNI
brellas are also made in blue and green,
