The following is from st. Louis pa
per. Can it be that such depredations
as are recorded actually occur?
1T has came to such a pass that no
woman who gives functions often feels
like putting any unusual outlay of ex-
pense into her affairs, since the depreda-
tions which she discovers after the even-
ing is over are so numerous and SO cost
ly as to absolutely discourage her. And
such depredations are, too, from her
guests, whom she considers gentlemen
and ladies, and as such has invited into
her house.
Let me give you an example: j gave
an evening card party in January, short

snowy, cold week. Wishing to present
some kind of novelty in the supper,
finally decided to serve the ices in tiny
red sleighs. These I obtained from my
caterer, who ordered them especially
from New York, and. as they were quite
expensive, he agreed to take back all
those that were not spoiled.

PROFESSIONAL MOURNERS.
Yale Students Hire Out as PaIlbear-
ers-Other Vacations Pursued.
New York Press.

New York Press.
Many and devious are the means by which
needy students have worked their way
through Yale University, but the most strik-
ing by far is that of a group of six or eight
young men who recently have been earning
money by acting as pallbearers at New
Haven funerals. These professional mourn
ers are prepossessing in appearance. and as
their presence is thought to add dignity to
the last sad rites for the dear departed
their services have been much in demand
Another new way of earning living while
receiving an education has just been opened
to students in New Haven. This is that of
acting as professional chauffeurs. Already
Yale's self-help bureau has found work for
five students as drivers of the blithesome
auto. while many more are employed direct:
ly by the misunderstanding agencies. The
majority OF the student chauffeurs attend
the Sheffield Scientific School, and their new
work enables them to make practical use of
their knowledge of mechanics.
Altogether places We're found for about $50
students by the self-help bureau last year.
it is estimated that these young men and
the others who obtained employment
through their own efforts earned about $780,
600. Tutoring and waiting on tables are the
most popular ways among students of earn
ing money, and then comes the organizing
of eating clubs, whereby the student who
looks out for the stomach of six of his fell
lows gets his own board free. Then there
is clerical work, typewriting and stenog-
raphy. Canvassing. running trolley cars and
teaching night school are the next popular
vocations.
The miscellaneous occupations cover a
wide and interesting range. Here they are
in great numbers, all of which have been
reported as tried by students.
Acting as guides about college buildings
distributing ballots and pastors at election
time, delivering college papers, etc. selling
violets at junior promenade and other fes-
tive occasions, doing police duty at football
games. acting as referees and timekeepers
in athletic contests. experimenting boys
clubs, soliciting for railroad companies and
trucking farms, operating stereopticon Ian
tern and slides. draughting, soliciting ad-
vertisements and subscriptions, publishing
programmes, driving milk wagons letting
tennis courts. soliciting for laundries, car
rying mail, carpenters work. painting

Scottish Literature.

Philadelphia Press.
What after all, constitutes Scottish liter
ature? The question, after perusal Of
Mr.. Hendersons and Mr.. Millar's recent
volumes on Scotch achievement in prose
and verse, naturally suggests itself to the
Glasgow Herald-and the Glasgow Herald
answers it with the conclusion that the
constituent elements are all English in
origin and character.
At first glance the question seems to
hinge upon just what writer's one is per-
mtted to include in the phrase Scottish"
Mr.. Henderson, on the one hand, has kept
severely to Scottish vernacular lltera-
ture," and will consider no author of Scot
fish birth and training since the Reforma-
ton save such as follow, in more or less
degree the linguistic fashion Of Burns,
Ferguson and Allan Ramsay. But Mr..
Millar is more liberal, and includes such
"Anglifed Scots as the author of Ivan
hoe" Francis Jeffrey, the Blackwood set,
David Hume and Drummond of Hawthorn
den. The difference, you will then say,
lies in the division.
But does it? THE real truth" says the
Glasgow Herald seems to be that the
Scottish language. from the earliest date
of our knowledge of IL, is genuine English,
differing only trivially in vocabulary and
specifically in pronunciation and spelling"
1t is true, as the Herald" says. that mot
only did the literary vernacuIar of Scot
land spring from an English source, II also
continued under English linguistic influence
and may almost be said to have kept pace
with English development. The golden age
of Scottish medieval literature-that of Dun
bar and Henryson-was essentially Chau-
cerian, so that virtually every word and
phrase in the vocabulary of their serious
poems may be found in Chaucer, Lydgate
or Mallory. English mot always indeed
quite perfecO and not broad Scots has been
spoken in the pulpits and on the platforms
in Scotland since the latter part of the
seventeenth century. English, too, has
been the language employed by the great
majority of Scottish writer's since that date
who have distinguished themselves
All this-since the lost Gaelic is barred
from the discussion--there is no denying.
But there is one phase of the question that
has so far been overlooked. There is not
only one requirement, but pair of require
ments, for the making of a dstinctively
national literature; a distinctively national
language, or vernacular, and the production
of a collection of writing of the first order
which mirrors the essential elements Of
the distinctly national character. The
Herald has shown that, in Scotland. the
former of these requirements is lacking,
but it has completely disregarded the latter
and more important one. AS a matter of
face. there are instances where the former

Do Students Reads

From Scribner's point of view II Is GER
tainly not only in college that the race of
the bibliophagi has seemed bent on sui
eide. What with the multiplication of those
who, with Disraeli, do not read books be-
cause they are so busy writing 'em, and the
diminished power Of attention which results
in the reign OF the big newspaper headline
and in the demand for literature only in
the form of predigested pemmican, it does
sometimes seem as If the habit of reading
would have to be painfully acquired by our
descendants. The student without reading
is as much a consequence as he is a cause
of the tendency to surrender abjectly in the
battle. OF the books.
There can be, however no possible doubt
ing the best of his college course. The
testimony OF men who graduated any
where from twenty-five to forty years ago
Is unanimous on that head. 1t is aston
fishing. they tell US, how routine studies,
and even all but their most virile instruct
ors, fade In the memory. But the world
OF letters first dawning upon them-that
earliest glimpse of Heine. that Introduction
to the critical spirit through Sainte-Beuve
and Arnold, that eager watching for the
next poem of Tennyson or Browning-there
Is something that abides. To be taught to
read. and then to be turned loose in the
library, is not a bad definition of the best
that college can do for generous-minded
boy. His reading in those SUSCEPTIBLE and
formative days is the best index not only
of his taste but of his ideals. What do
the students read nowadays?" is the ques-
ton which a philosophical observer always
puts to the young collegians of his chance
acquaintance. He can ascertain nothing
more significant. Is 1t still Stevenson and
Kipling. even Churchill and Harrington
So far, good But is IL the latest tawdry
novelist? Is it merely the flaming sensation
of the hour? Then, alas for the jaded and
unhappy middle life and old age which is
in the making! Jowett once advised a
weakly student to attack some large work,
lasting for years, as the best means to
health and content. The feeble boy lived
to point, forty years later. to monumental
volume on an Oriental language. All COL
lege students cannot do that, but all may
form habit of reading which will bring
them into lifelong intercourse with the
master spirits of mankind, and prove for
themselves an endless refreshment and an
unfailing resource.

story About Edith Wharton.

Washington Post.
Speaking of people who write books,
heard perfectly lovely story the other
day about Mrs. Edith Wharton. 1t came
to me confidentially from somebody who
had 1t confidentially from a friend who
heard 1t from somebody who had promised
never to tell it, so naturally am at liberty
to repeat it. Mrs. Wharton, as everybody
knows, spends a great deal of her time in
the Italian country she has written so
much about, and some time last year she
received an invitation TO visit Henry James
in England and from her Italian retreat
she accepted. Mr.. James made ready for
his distinguished guest, and everybody said
TO everybody else that nobody earth
was more fitted to eat Mr.. Jamess salt
than Mrs. Wharton. Mr.. James's salt,
however was not eaten, for there came one
day letter from Mrs. Wharton announc-
ing her inability to come. 1t seems that
the British Board of Trade has seen fit to

visit Henry James. Mr.. James was greatly
disappointed, and he said, though, of
course, he didn't put 1t into quite such
simple. unillumined English that he was
sorry Mrs. Wharton preferred dogs So
ciety to his. For my part 1t always de-
lights me to find out that even the greatest
of women have feminine foibles.
