of bother and worry over the col
lege girl. The one cries: 80, she does
not care for marriage" Another one
complains: athletics are making her
rough" Still another objects: Her
education makes her much less com
panionable." And there is a chorus Of
voices declaring: "She won't make a
good wife," relates the Springfield
(Mass.) Union.
Why can't the college girl be left
alone to work out her own saliva
ton? While at college she thinks Of
anything but marriage, and after
graduating matrimony is not her
chief aim in life. she has a purpose
in life, and tries to carry it out, and
if she falls in love and marries it is
because it happened SO, and not be-
cause she planned it.
Athletics have made her strong
and well. She has learned the value
for her health. While at college she
may indulge in some boisterous
games, but when she goes out into
the world she carries the best part
of her athletic training with her, and
leaves behind the rougher part.
1t is difficult for a girl to adjust
herself to home life the first year
after leaving college, but her educa-

the opinion of others. so that she is
made more companionable rather
than less so.

than her own are worth considering.
She has learned to adapt herself to
all sorts and conditions of men, and
is of much more benefit to society
than the girl with one idea. Maybe
she has stopped magnifying the little
things, has less patience with small
complainings, but this should be put
down to her credit.
There is little reason to fuss over
whether college girls will make good
wives or not. Some will MAKE good
wives and some will not, as with
their noncollege sisters. If they hap

they will make snug housekeepers,
but if they dislike homework they

and doughnut fryers.
The advantage is on their side,
however, for if they are skilled in do
arts they have their educa-
ton back of them to help make them
attractive to their husbands, while

stereoscopic study of the Moon.
1t has been observed that on account
of the absence of an atmosphere on the
moon and the consequent lack of gra-
dation in shadows, the eye of the OBJ
server is seriously misled in judging
the actual relief of objects forming !
the lunar landscapes. Prof. Prinz, Of
Brussels, has recently developed ii
