1 read carefully her letter, and con- c1uded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg. etable Compound. After taking two bottles felt much better; but after using six bottles I was cured"
 "I went to chapel ill the nIoruiu.;. The girl was waiting for me Ill the vestibLIe. 1 was looked over inIperson- ally by 600 or more young women as they came ir, also when they went out. Then 1 was told to hurry away ike good boy and come back after dinner, say, about 5 O clock. l gently lntiinated that l2 hours in Northampton was 8 lonely prospect. She was awfully sorry, of course, but there was an especially important basket ball practice that aft ernoon. Ii she staid away, she wouldn 't be allowed to play ill the match game the next day. Might 1 come to watch the practice? Good gracious, no! Men were never allowed except at match games, and then only the very oldest and marriedest mem bers ot the faculty. II went over to Amherst and saw some fellows I knew over there. The man I knew best was going to have 8 beautiful time ill his rooms that night. The window seat bulged with beer bot tles He wanted me to stay, but re- gretfully broke away and went back to Northampton. I reached the cottage at 7:55. The girl was ill the reception room waiting for me.
 Goodness, but you are late! said she. I came very near going without waiting for you. Astronomy lecture this morning was postponed until tonight, %l~ ! you know. I'm sorry, but of course it | isn't my fault. l know you don't want to wander around town tonight, so have asked my roommate to come down and talk to you.
 "She went up into the hall and called her roommate, who was short and glob- ular and wanted to discuss Kant ill re- lation to the future of woman. She wanted to know also what that dear Professor James of Harvard was like and whether had ever heard him ex- plain what he meant by certain passages ill his blamed old textbook. She went to her room and brought down the text book to show exactly what she meant. After an hour and half I fled to the cafe of tho Norwood.
 Next morning I went to chapel | again, as had been ordained by the evanescent young woman before she | trotted away to look at the stars. Then she went away to the basket ball match game. She said that if wanted to walk down by the gymnasium could have lots of fun hearing them cheer. I thank ed her. She told me to come around at about 4 o'clock and we would go for a trolley ride to Florence. 1 didn't go down to the gymnasium to hear the girls yell, but my dropping spirits re- vived. l found that Florence wasn't t much of town, only a settlement real ly, and was five or six miles out in the country.
 "I was at the cottage promptly at o'clock, also at 4 o'clock. She came down very penitent at 4:15; said she was awfully put out, but the board of editors of some blamed magazine or other had had meeting, and she didn t dare to stay away a minute for fear they would vote to print an article by a girl she just simply hated. They had been trying to get it printed against her will for two months, and she didn't in- tend that they should take adv antage of the fact she had a man in town to slip it in, so there!
 "We got on the car. So did IS girls who seemed most interested ill us The car swung its rattling way out into the country We talked about scenery I saw lots of groves and shady lanes along the way. I spoke about them once or twice
 "'It's ever so much prettier near Florence, she said.
 "We ran off on a siding, and the IS girls climbed out and began seeking as- ters and things beside the track.
 "'Goodness r said the girl. 'They are getting their botany specimens. had forgotten all about mine. Won't you get some for me? That's a nice boyI
 "I did The car started and sailed away while I was picking the lovely things I chased quarter of 8 mile. The IS young ladies back near the sid- ing were amused.
 'Look at your watch, please, said much perturbed. I'm going to be late for dinner, she said, and it will be the third time this year.
 "'Why, said I, aren't we going to get otfP'
 I "GOodnesS no! we are going back on this car as fast as it can go.
 ":But I haven't seen Florence l walled
 "'silly goose, she said. this is Florence!
 We only stopped once on the way back. That once was at the siding, and all the IS girls piled on again. They remembered me. l saw.
 '' Phi Kappa meets tonight, said the girl as we hurried into the campus, and of course have to go Chapel to- morrow
 "She said lot more but confess didn't hear her. She was very much surprised when 1 told her couldn' possibly stay over
 "'Anyhow, perhaps it's just as we'll. she said, because you couldn' t come tc the house on Sunday. .
 "Yes, took her to the game. I be- lieve she had good time. I have seen her once or twice since But don't think as much of the higher education of women as did. New York Suu
