French Women Students.

"Frenchwomen," said professional
woman, furnish occasional instances
Of intellectual greatness or artistic
genius, but as a rule the Frenchwom-
an is slightly interested in serious
subjects. Official statistics for the
student year just ended show that Of
the 1924 students in the various
colleges only BIT are women, and OF
these only a small proportion are
French.
"Of the 325 women in the Univers-
ity of Paris (which has a total of H.
S27 students) 1919 are foreigners.
'The incident of the young man in
Paris who broke his engagement be-
cause his fancee persisted in having
opinions on the Dreyfus case furnishes
an interesting commentary. Evident
ly women who think are not popular
with Frenchmen en- masse."

Some of the largest and most valu.
able inventions are due to women.
Mrs. Harriet Strong, who began by
inventiug a corset, ended by taking
out patents for dams and reservoirs.
Although now an old woman, she has
but recently patented a device for
storing water. Mrs. Ada al Pelt in
vented a FORMULATION lock with three
thousand combinations; also . letter
DO. for the outside Of houses that
throws up a signal to the postman
when there is a letter to collect.
A little girl by an ingenious inven-
ton revolutionized the making of
screws. A woman invented satchel-
bottomed paper bags an d was offered
$50, 900 for her patent before she left
Washington. A woman invented the
Burden process of making horseshoes,
which turns out such rapid work that
it has saved the country s., 500, 900 in
fourteen years. Anumber of women's
inventions are known to have been
patented under the names of their
husbands, fathers or br others.
The lecturer eyempiifed her WON
ans wit by an anecdote. Sbe was out
driving with an old Vermont farmer,
and he said to her sameRJt testify:
'You women may talk u Your rights,
but why don't you invent something's"
to which Mrs. Bowles Immediately re-
piled: "Your horses feedbag and
the shade over his head were both of
them invented by a woman"
"Do tell" was the astonished re-
joinder.
The bright woman remarked in her
lecturer, II do tell, aud I think it
is good to tell these things"

Mourning Periods.

The different periods adopted by
many for the wearing Of mourning are
as follows:
A widow should wear mourning for
two years-one year deep Grape, six
months black, with less Grape, and six
months plain black.
Mourning of children for parents,
or parents for children, must be OF
one years duration-that is, six
months Grape, six months black, Or
four months black, and the two
months black and white. gray or
mauve.
A sister should wear mourning for
a brother n year-six months Grape,
three months black, with or without
Grape, and three months black with a
little white introduced.
For. grandparents the mourning
should be as for q sister or brother.
For an aunt or uncle the mourning
should be of six months Duration
three months black with Grape trim
mings, two months black, and one
month black and white.
For great aunts " u~ncies, cousins,
nieces or nephews, three months
black, with or without Grape, as de-
sired.
A variety of styles in mourning wells
are now seen. A veil made entirely
Of Grape has a scalloped silk edge
with embroidered corners. Others,
less heavy, are shown in fine Brussels
or Russian net. One of the simplest
has a band of Grape an inch and a half
wide all around, edged with tiny braid.
Another is edged and trimmed with
inch wide bands OF the Grape across
the corner, while a third has q seal
edge with an embossed Grape
and silk corner The length Of these
wells varies from forty-one inches to
inches.
The many little accessories OF the
toilet should help to carry out the ef-
feet of the mourning gown and veil.
Handkerchief of Irish linen, plain
or hem-stitched, have a band of black
just inside the hem.
Folds, rulings and pleatings are
found in great variety. They are
made of silk, Grape OF chiffon.
Jet brooches, usually Of simple de-
are worn with mourning cos

A new veil has been invented as a

which serves to cover the faeS is
studded with spots, while the otsssr

Tho ALE led Treasures Were "Eaked' in
Corral Asia,

Orientalists will do well TO be on
their guard in connection with Central
Asian manuscripts, which have of late
provided them with such an endless
subject Of discussion. says the Scots
man. 1t was Capt. Bower who first
discovered the existence OF some ex-
trenely ancient manuscripts during
bis great journey across central Asia,
and DR.. Sven Hedin brought back a
rich collection for the edtfcation and
modification Of o~rientalists. Since
then the supply OF ancient manuscripts
has been very great, but 1t Is stated
that the gravest suspicion Is nov cast
upon the authenticity Of a very largs
proportion Of these so-called relics of
antiquity.
An English officer who Ia now en-
gagged IN some exploring work in Cen
trail Asia has discovered that there
exists In Khotan a regular manufac-
tory Of the manuscript relics. and so
large Is the output that he believes
that at least IS Per cent OF the manu-
scripts which lave reached Europe
from central Asia during recent years
are spurious. The process of manu-
facture has been explained to him, and
so impressed Is he with the difficulty
Of distinguishing between the genuine
and the counterfeit that he has him
self adopted a rule Of never under any
circumstances buying any ancient book
offered to him for sale. Meanwhile
there is much searching Of hearts
among the owners Of the manuscripts
which have already found their way
into collections.

Endless Procession Of Necktie Ideas.

We are in process Of varying our
shirtwaist carer with an endless pro-
cession of necktie ideas, some of which
are pretty enough to be carried over
into next season and used as light
touches on our sombre WOODEN frocks.
For instance, writes Mary Dean, num-
bers of women wear high straight
stocks with their white skirts and
round the bare stock wind twice a
length of cream malines net. When
on the second winding the net is
brought back to the front, instead of
fastening its lace trimmed ends in q
big bow close beneath the chin, they
are brought down to o point midway
between throat and waist, there
pinned with a bright brooch and tied
in a bow. By so simple q scheme, to
the plainest silk or muslin waist an
air Of sweet ornamentation is given
hard to derive by as inexpensive
means.
Another noble invention is that Of
passing a broad satin ribbon of soft
texture twice around the high collar.
When drawn to the front, its ends are
put through q small buckle of paste
Jewels, and this is pushed close to the
throat, while from it futter uncon-
fined two long scarf ends OF ribbon.
Women who do not take to these
devices love to bury their chins.in the
cloudy masses of q wide-winged bow

wisp OF white silk muslin, edged with
