Who masters best himself best serves the State
This wisdom is thy corner: next the stone
OF bounty: thou hast given all: thy store.

That no man lives who takes not priceless gifts

A childhood title shared with all who grew
His brethren % the hearth: whence no man lifts
Above the common right his claim nor dares
To fence his pastures Of the common good.
For common are thy fields: common the toll:
Common the charter of prosperity.
That gives 10 each that all may blessed be.
This Is the very counsel of thy soil.

The UndOmestic Harvard Man.

Confidence in the veracity of figures is
very much impaired nowadays, and when
we are told that statistics prove. read
the statistics AND reserve our judgment.
But statistics indicate, if they do not prove.
and often they amuse even when they fail
TO convince. The class secretaries of the
class Of 1876 i'm Harvard and in Princeton
lately Exchanged the reports which each
had made up for the twenty-fifth anniver-
Sary of graduation. Comparison of these
reports shows some interesting differences.
The Princeton class had 157 members. of
whom 123 married and had $40 children. The
Harvard class had 203 members. OF whom
136 married and have had 1913 children. That
is to say, IS per cent of the Princeton men
married and only 81 per cent. of the Har
ward men. Harvard graduates of twenty
five years ago seem TO have been less
readily domesticated than their Princeton
coevals, or possibly they were less success
full i'm making a living. or less ready to set
tie down on such living as they could
make. At any rate. comparison OF these
groups of statistics leaves the adj
VantageS with Princeton.

HOW HE HIT IT.

Occasionally a man and woman will
arrive at the same conclusion, but by
widely different processes of reasoning.
This was illustrated last week in the
experience of a young suburban ma
tron who had arranged to give some
girls luncheon at downtown restau-
rant. They were former school chums,
and she was very anxious that her
husband should meet them. AS he was
leaving to come down town in the
morning she asked him to step in and
order the luncheon. But, for good
ness sake, WILL she said, don't order
some of those vast steaks with
fried potatoes and things, that you
always call for when / am with you"
The husband promised to be careful
and departed. His wife almost i'm
mediately regretted leaving such an
important matter in his charge. but
she simply could not get down town
that morning. and so hoped for the
best.

Even the usually unmoved Modishes
are aghast.
1t seems that this attractive woman
wore a wonderful evening gown of

territorial carelessness, utterly ruined

The lace alone-the handmade
hounce-the damage to which is irrep-
arabic, cest two thousand dollars, and
took many poor women and girls
working. into the night and at the low
est possible wages-six months to COM
plete.
This is the chief burden of the chat
ter one hears on the subject.
The entire costume. including su-
perb boa. cost about five thousand dol
lars.
The other women present agree that
its destruction was simply wicked.
believe the wearer of the gown con-
fided to a friend that she did not like
IL after all her trouble-that it was not
becoming-and therefore she did not
care what became of il.
The train was extremely long. and,
as she did not gather it up at all dur
ing the dances. the inevitable hap
pened.
What with all the handmade lace
and embroidery on the new spring out
fits. it will be a marvel il even the most
economical and modest Of the Modishes
do not get reputation for extrava-
gance
The batistes, dimities and foulards
shown in advance of the season are
scarcely recognized under these modest
names, SO literally submerged is the
material in its all-important trim
mings.
For instance, a dimity Of a delicate
cream color has SO much lace of two
varieties appliqued upon it-with the
dimity cut out beneath-that one only
sees an inch or two of it at intervals;
and yet it is described as a simple lit
tie dimity" by the saleswoman. and is
very reasonable at two hundred dol
lars.
