DRESS AT OLD HARVARD.
TFrom the BOSTON Herald !

LFrOm the Boston Herald
Several waistcoats which were worn
by Harvard undergraduates in the mid
die and latter half of the eighteenth
century, and which have recently been
added to the unique collection of Ameri
can costumes at the Museum of Fine
Arts in Boston, have the special inter
est of recalling the strict rules regard
ing dress which prevailed at Harvard
during the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, and fingered on Well into the
nineteenth. a modest uniformity of
dress apparently was as much required
of the college student of a century ago,
at Harvard and elsewhere, as becoming
department and regular attendance, but
that the rule was at least partly found
ed on natural and reasonable argu-
ment, and was not wholly dependent on
the traditions of the English schools
and colleges or on the manners of less
democratic age, is perhaps shown by
the natural revival, during the last ten
years, of the Oxford cap and gown for
formal academic occasions.
AS late as 1928 the dress of the Har-
ward student, as one may read in the
Laws of the college, consisted of a
black mixed coat. single breasted, with
a rolling cape square at the end. and
with pocket flaps: the waist reaching to
the natural waist, with lapels of the
same length 1t is explained that
black mixed" called also Oxford mix
ed, is black with not more than one
twentieth nor less than one twenty
fifth part of white. The senior was al
lowed part of white The senior was al
crows feet of black silk cord ON the
lower part of his coat sleeve. Two
crows feet were permitted to the Junior,
one to the sophomore, and none at all
to the freshman. The waistcoat-in in
teresting contrast to. the waistcoats of
the present year of grace-was of black
mixed, or of black. or, when of cotton
or linen fabric, of white; single breast
ed, with a standing collar. The panta-
looms were of black mixed. OF buttons,
which were to be fiat and covered with
the same cloth as the garment to which
they were attached, the student might
have not more than eight nor less than
six on the front of his coat, with four
behind.
No "surtout" or overcoat might be
substituted for the coat. but a black
gown was permitted. His neckcloth
was plain black or white, his hat Of
the common form and black. his cap
of an approved form and black also.
Shoes and boots were black. The senior,
however, was allowed a black dress coat
and, if occasion arose. to wear emblemS
of mourning. a 'nightgown," or dress
ing gown-tne reader will remember the
stage direction, Enter Lady Macbeth
in her night gown''-wa permitted, ''ex

on other occasions when undress would

awake at night and pondering difficult
problems, One morning-it was the day
before the wedding-I was sitting on a
garden seat reading review OF my
new book when she came across che
lawn and sat quietly down at the other
end of the bench.
"At that moment servant came
across the grass with the white square
of a letter distinct on a little silver tray
which glistened in the sun. Even from
a distance the sight of that letter af-
fected Minnesota strangely. She rose
up and stood expectant, her face red as
rose one moment and white as
mooncloud the next. Her eyes were
very wide open as she took her letter
mechanically and opened it, She could
only have read a few lines when she
dropped on the seat and let the paper
fall in her lap. She raised her eyes and
met mine fixed on her inquiringly. I
felt that there was crisis. In her eyes
l saw an appeal.
sWell?' I said.
Tt has all been such a bad mistake
she said This is from Kenneth
. Indeed! May I know who is Ken
meth? What does he say?'
He says, What can you think of
my long silence? I have had a strange
adventure but 1 have got back my lib
erty at last, and shall leave for home
by the mail following the one that takes
this letter.
There are four Sheets said.
Yes; but the first explains. I had
heard things, and 1 Thought
I nodded.
That is why 1 did not care what
became of me. I can't be married to-
morrow. Oh, poor Jack! 1 am going to
treat him badly. VIII you try to con-
sole him.
I will try 1 said, looking on the
ground but when 1 raised my eyes
again they saw a radiant Minnesota
whom they had never before behe1d. I
left her with her letter and hurried
away to inform Jack of his release
And that is how the engagement
was broken off"

To Keen a Coal Fire over Night.

Anthracite coal being nearly solid
carbon, the fire may be arranged to
keep" over night. To accomplish this
lift the lid on the top of the stove, OF
open the little draft at the top of the
fire box: this will allow cold air to en-
ter, pass over the upper surface of the
coal, chill it and prevent rapid burn
ing As this is imperfect combustion
great care must be taken to have the
chimney f1ue open, that the products Of
combustion may not come out into the
room. Carbon-monoXide, the product
of imperfect combustion is a colorless,
odorless poisonous gas. Being an ac-
cumulative poison it is still more dan
gerous. AS hard coal contains little
sulphur, when the drafts are imperfect
the odor of the sulphur is noticed, which
is like the sounding of an alarm bell,
for carbon monoxide is found in its
company.-Ladies' Home Journal.

has been unsuccessful, though time and
again she has made request for that
which was hers.
Hemsley met these requests sullenly.
He did not care to have the woman
coming around to his house for any
thing This he told her when she re-
peated her requests for her belongings
Each time thsy met there was q quar-

Today she invoked the aid of the

Mrs. Hemsley this morning had Dep

Hemsley saw them approaching from
an upstairs window
Without word or warning, he quickly
got and loaded a doubebarreled shot
gun, which he always kept In the
house. Then he came forward to the
window again. raised the gun and shot
his wife. lie then turned the gun upon
