sit may not be complimentary to the
men, but there seems at least q semblanc0
of truth in the statement that the greater
the quantity and the better the quality OF
education among women the less the
chance of marriage" writes Professor D..
R. McAnally in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. sit has been shown co~nclusively
that college women must marry less than
others.
1.-The explanation of this apparently
anomalous condition may perhaps be
found in the fact that a large percentage
of college bred women educate themselves
foa the purpose of becoming eachers
Teachers have not so good an opportunity
of marriage as other women-in fact,
teachers in female seminaries have hardly
more prospect than nuns, their limited as
ISOLATION with the opposite sex and the re-
straints under which they are visited by
gentlemen fully explaining the situation.
sit is clear, however, from the figures
furnished, that the rate of marriage among
'coeducated- women is higher than among
women who attend female seminaries. 1t
is singular to notice that in the case OF
educated women the same geographic diff
ferences between the east and the west
may be observed as in the case of the oth-
ers. In the north Atlantic division-that
is, in New England-the marriage rate is
lowest. 1t gradually rises toward the
west, attaining its highest figure in the
mountain states, a fact which indicates
that the educated eastern woman who goes
west to teach has am excellent prospect OF
finding o husband there. !

Glasgow Girls.

The Glasgow girl, taking her for all in
all, is perhaps a more interesting type
than that presented by her sister of Edin-
burgh. She may not be as pretty or as
"stylish''-some times she is-but she is
more alive, more vivid, more intelligent,
more self reliant, less narrowly exclusive,
less morbidly ashamed if the necessity
arises for putting her shoulder TO the
wheel. l imagine, for instance, that a
Glasgow girl would lave less difficulty in
polishing off her angles, of acclilnatizing
herself to the broader, freer life that exists
for women outside Scotland thar her peer
of the capital. l know of one case indeed
where the daughter of one of the wealth.

Glasgow determined, after she left school,

SUITS. Almost all kinds absorb fiavors to
a greater or less degree. Tea, cocoa, choc-
olate, flour, eggs and cereals are almost as
susceptible to the influence of neighboring
foods as are milk and butter. Bananas,
for example, particularly the highly fla
vored Aspinwall variety, will spoil IN
open jar of tea or cocoa or a tin of flour.
Onions, sailed fish, smoked beef and scores
of other foods are similarly p~eryasive in
their flavor. This absorption of odors and
aroma is SO well understood that it is often
taken advantage of to produce a certain
condition. In English diaries freshly cut

.sThey All Stumbled and s-,r..-"

Years ago, when school readers were not
SO plentiful as now, it was the custom in
many homes to have the children read a
chapter or two in the New Testament as q
reading lesson. Little 6-year-old Jimmie
was noted for his ludicrous mistakes in
reading, and his older brother and sister
were equally noted for their tendency TO
laugh at his plumbers. The lesson was
the twenty-ffth chapter of Matthew. The
fifth verse reads, while the bridegroom
tarried they all ~slulnbered and slept"

strange how every little child holds to
the belief that to be a bride is he sum-
mum bonum of human existence.
I find that while speaking of elegant
evening costume 1 omitted to mention
two most beautiful dinner and recep-
ton dresses. One was confectionnee,
as the French nave it, for a new moth
er, and 1t is to be worn at her first re-
ception, which will be after the christen-
ing. When / last saw the happy moth
er of this sturdy young son, she was
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt. Now she
bears another well known name-Mrs.
Whitney.
Well, this dress is of brocade thick
enough to hang in massive folds al
most like cardboard. 1t is of a deli
cate slate color, with faint purplish
shades. All over 1t are enormou this

The skirt is in demitrain and has a

this, like a bertha, a two inch ruff1e. very

The other dress is of pink taffeta,
with a very pale blue printed silk u

duces a delicate faint purplish hue

crepe lisse made of pink and blue com

LADY LION KILLER.
Exciting Adventures Of Mrs.
Alan Gardner in New
Zealand.

an london is lionizing Mrs. Alan Card
ner, the lion killer. fer husband is,a
brother of Lord Onslow of New Zealand,
and himself a famous hunter. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gardner visited New Zealand and
together cut loose from civilization and
penetrated into the remotest regions in
the search for game. Thus far Mrs. Alan
Gardner has come through her encounters
with wild beasts without a scratch of claw
or mark Of teeth. That she will always be
as fortunate is not possible, for the stories
that have been told of her ~intrepidity in
the hunt show that she is absolutely fear
less when on a shooting expedition. From
the numerous hunting episodes related by
her admiring husband, for it is extremely
difficult to induce Mrs. Gardner to talk OF
her achievements, one is selected that is
especially thrilling.
The husband and wife were hunting in
Somsliland, a mountainous and, for the
most part, ~unexplored country in the east
ern part of the African continent. It is q
wild place, wild in the nature of it's in
habitants, besides being given up to q
large extent to wild beasts. This latter
feature of the country just suited Mr.. and
Mrs. Alan Gardner, and they penetrated
into the interior, killing small game as
they went and looking daily for lions.
One morning they came across the
tracks of an animal that they knew at
once could be none but the king of beasts.
All the morning and part of tn afternoon
they followed the trail through he densest
of African forests, until at last the odor
of decaying flesh poisoning the warm
bright day appraised them that the lions
lair was near.
A deep growl came threateningly from
the bush near by, and Mrs. Gardner shob
in the direction of the sound. The answer
was a terrific roar that crashed through
the forest in company with the noise Of
the rife. Next instant there came flying
through the air a huge lion, with eyes
ablaze, claws outstretched and snarling
jaws. 1t was a situation to ~paralyse the
nerves of a strong man, but Mrs. Gardner
never finched or wavered. In telling the
story afterward Mr.. Gardner said:
"My first impulse was to shoot at the
big brute, but a quick glance at my wife
showed that she was perfectly cool, and I

There are some of cashmere, which, of
course, are not SO expensive.
AS a rule, the skirts are made plain,
with very little characterization, and
what there is of that is simply in form
of very narrow black velvet ribbon to
outline or simulate a shawl tunic or
fiounce or narrow satin milliner's folds
for the same purpose.
The waists are trimmed about as any
other waists might be and are in blouse
shape. One design had an underwaist,
with the blouse waist outside, with
bretelles of the same neatly embroider-
ed in black silk.
A cape of silk warp henrietta had six
ruff1es of black satin ribbon, each mar
rover than the other, to the shoulder.
The bottom ruf1e extended up very full
both sides of the front to the neck. For
another were a crepon suit and a fine
whipcord jacket, tailor stitched. Pray
er books with embroidered and gilt
elasped velvet bindings are laid beside
these suits. Cunning little white hoods
made of tarlatan or fine swiss have
wells attached to them, and they fall
down to the waist at the back, not at
all in front. White gloves are to be
worn.
We have beer so accustomed to think
of the white gowns and long white wells
that it is not easy to change, and I am
afraid that in the dear little hearts
there is just the tiniest bit of vanity
about their looks, ard they may lose a
small amount of their religious fervor
when they look at those somber frocks.

Nine. Loubet, mother of the French
president, although a peasant, is among
the most intelligent and prosperous
class. Her position is much the same
as that of the wife of a well to do New

her advanced years she is robust, active

Ever since her son was chosen to his

The house in which Nine. Loubet lives
and in which the president himself was

ii VISITED TIBET.
Missionary's Wife ON Her Way Back
From the Forbidden Land.


The only alien woman to penetrate
any distance into T1be the forbidden
land, is Mrs. Lucie Rinji eart, an Amer
lean. When last heard from. she was
in China and or her way back from
the land of the lamas.
Mrs. Rinjnhart is a Detroit girl and is
only 90. Her maiden name was Lucie
Condo, her parents being French. When
the girl was but is, she moved with her
parents to Manitoba and there met the
mar whom she married three years
ago.
Peter Rinjnhart was a Belgian ex-
plorer and missionary. He was always
fanatical, and shortly after his mar
riage he became visionary. He felt
himself called" to Tibet, and upon his
shoulders a descended so much of
the mantle of the old crusade preach
ers that he managed to awaken his
wife to something of his own zeal
A child had just been born to the
couple, but Rinjnhart was not to be de-
tered in his work. He said they would
take the baby along. They did. No
missionary has ever been allowed to
live in Tibet, and those who nave tried
to preach there have all either been
killed or else tortured and transported
back to China.
But for awhile Peter Rinjnhart's fate
seemed to be more propitious. He pass
