What most impresses the impartial

parents do come they are apt to think
that the president of the university

her own affairs Her goings and com
iugs, her hours, her companions, are
all at her own disposal.

The girls who come to the university
for amusement rather than for study
are without doubt greatly in the minor
ity, but because they are here at all
there should be some system of guard

ton of life things happen that ought

girl who is guarded during her years
of responsibility may live long life
and go to her grave without suspi-
cion of what might have been her own
capabilities in the way of folly if she
had been left to herself at that time.

W omen buyers.

About dozen years ago women be-
gan to act as professional buyers. They
proved themselves so capable that their
numbers have greatly increased. Ac-
c0rding to the Brooklyn Eagle, many
influential firms that frowned upon the
idea ut first now employ women alto
gether. There is marked increase
in the number of women buyers who
go to New York to purchase goods for
their employers, so much so that many
hotels which for years refused ac-
commodations to women travelling
alone have changed their custom and
now solicit the patronage of women
buyers.
The women buyers represent many
different trades. The first break was
made many years ago, when women
were sent abroad or to New York by
large firms to buy millinery, dress
goods and women's wear generally.
Still such buyers were a different class
from those of the present. The buyer
of today represents the firm, its credit
its standing in every particular. Ev-
cry buyer knows that her firm expects
her to get better bargain than other
firms do, and if she fails her livelihood
is in danger. That women buyers are
keen and clever is proved by the fact
that their numbers increase with every
year.

Peril In the CeIIuIofd Comb.

deal of advice in the newspapers on the
care of the hair, but very few warnings
against wearing celluloid combs. Most
shell combs that are not bona fide
tortoise shell, and therefore expensive,
frail and easily broken. are made of
colored celluloid, and one may assume
that eight women out of every ten
wear at least one of these dangerous
things in their hair The doctor in
question calls attention to the fact that
celluloid is so inflammabe that it may
at any time ignite, even at several feet
from an open fire, and that in any case
it will do so in a temperature of few
degrees hotter than boiling water. The
obvious deduction is that if we cannot
afford to purchase shell combs for our
hair then this highly convenient and
useful ornament should be left severely
alone. On the whole. it is better to be
without n ccluloid comb than to run
the risk of losing even six square inches
of ones scalp, as recently happened in
