Princeton is strong. Dewitt has all his
old skill, force and accuracy in kicking.
no team is safe from field goal with the
ball within forty yards OF her line when
this handy man with his feet Is In the
game. Practice has almost corrected the
Tigers tendency to tumble, which has
been the weakest point in her game so
far. Her players are aggressive, the
team work Is good and getting better.
and it can be safely said that Old Mas
sau's hope for first place this year is not
without solid basis.
Another team which has reason to hope
for the premiership Is University OF Penn
sylvania. No team on the gridiron is
present time. Team work Is well-nisn

STRENGTH OF SOCIETY WOMEN
She Defies Every Rule Of Health and Taxes
Brain and Emotions to
the Utmost


I often think that the society woman
IS the strongest OF all creatures God has
made, writes Ella Morris Kretschmar in
Good Housekeeping. Her sister who tills
the field, or rubs at the washtub, cannot
compare with her in tensile strength.
What is normal, muscular fatigue that a
nights rest will cure; compared to en-
durance, that fine endurance that taxes
the brain in all it's subtle wfndings, the
emotions in every tone of their gamut,
and finally the body at every point where
a rule Of health may be dehed? It would
be interesting to know how a university
boat crew or football team would look in
the spring, after winter Of wearing heavy
velvets and furs over chests and arms thru
the days, and gauze or bare neck and
arms of evenings; of alternating between
thick walking boots and satin slippers; Of
eating perhaps one rational meal day,
and for the rest "nibbling at fancy.
Possibly they might harden themselves
to every change Of bodily temperature,
but they would never, never rise superior
to the pitfalls and consequences of sea-
Sson of afternoon teas and receptions.
Nor in strictest reality do women-that
is, ''in the long rum; for at last the fine
substance breaks, or at least shows such
wear that it needs all sorts of artificial
props and embellishments to give it an
appearance 1t Is really a pity that
women do not realize what a part In the
loss of youthful looks the afternoon tea
and reception menu plays. OF course the
truly clever woman, or she who has learned
the fine art Of dining, evades those menus,
with inconspicuous tact, and so does nc
damage to good looks or appetite by her
afternoon designations.

a woMAN,s CRAZE.

The prevailing tendency toward bright trim.
ming on gowns, ETC.. recalls curious craze OF
the women Of the eighteenth century. Bright
metal threads, usually Of much higher intrinsic
value than those used in manufacture now, were
seen In trimmings for gowns, wraps, ETC.; also
in making up fancy work. The women Of the
court were possessed Of an intense desire to pro-
cure gold threads for the manufacture of costly
bagatelles, and neglected all other work for
'.parflage," as the working up Of gold rawlings
came to be called. Even in a round of visits
women would carry with them two work bags
one for pair of scissors and odds and ends of
any materials from which gold thread could be
UNFINISHED and pulled out; the other for the pre-.
ctous threads themselves. Economical court
women made this a source of revenue some gain.

REVIVAL OF THE BUTTON

on the New

AS summer dawns in the not-far-dis-
tant sky there comes note of announce
ment which tells of the revival Of the but
ton This is coming in. not only as an
ornament, but as a worker. The button
which has been used merely as a sentinel
upon the gown, to mark trimming or to
denote the style, is now to be used for
buttoning purposes. This is a style that
will not win as much approval as some
Of the other modes, for buttons are hard
to button and buttonholes do not look well
when frayed out, but Dame Fashion says
they must be actually buttoned
The button mold, all covered with silk
threads, worked in and out and round and
round, with French knots decorating the
top, is seen upon shirtwaists. So also
is the big round white pearl button. The
large flat mold which is covered with silk
to match the waist is also in evidence.
And there are button molds that show a
big glass bead on top, Of Persian variety
or an expensive carved wood Chinese
bead.
The Chinese beads of red wood, bright
as a firecracker, a glowing Chinese red
are used upon the tops Of the button molds
that are covered with deep blue silk This
forms the most violent of contrasts and
will please the woman who likes novelties
Such buttons are used upon the bright
spring plaids that are now being tossed
upon the counters and piled in the win
dows.

LIVED FOR OTHERS
Brownlng's Sister Gave Her Life In Turn
for Parents, Brother and
NepheW,

Sarianna Browning, sister OF Robert
Browning, died recently in Florence, Italy,
in her ninetieth year. Her vigor Of mind
lasted to the end. The poet wrote Of her
in 1866: "All her life has been spent in
caring for my mother, and seventeen years
after for my father After that fathers
death she remained with her brother and
his son, and in PENS" house she died.
The Athenaeum says of her: Mother,
father, brother, nephew-her life was given
to each in turn with devotion SO per-
feet that 1t seemed natural. and was, in
deed. the expression of a nature in which
there was no thought Of self. Not that
there was any want of individuality in her
character-far from it. Her friends have
said that during her brothers life she
was content somewhat to efface herself
behind mis- vigorous and vivacious per-
sonality; but certainly in her latter years
she had vigor and vivacity of her own
which heightened the charm of her sweet
and most unsel1sh disposition.

AMATEUR IRON WORKERS..

Some years ago English woman with landed
interests conceived the idea of helping her poorer
neighbors by having them taught some handicraft
In their eyering hours. At first she had diff
entity in fixing upou the work, but finally decided
on bent iron work. All sorts of workmen attend
ed the classes in their spare time, and soon some
creditable work was turned out. Ambitious as
she was for her iron workers the founder had at
first no idea of the venture bringing more than
occasional pittance to her people. But the
number of customers became so large that soon
the best men were taken on in the daytime. In
few years five FORCES were kept busy and the
work is now much in demand that sixteen or
seventeen are alw avs on hand. besides spe-
cial artists and photographers being employed
Everything that be made in iron or copper
