had made up his mind-poor Miss
| Witherly began to despair. She had
wasted two years upon a clergyman
which she might have spent more
profitably, for she had driven from her
a very respectable farmer with serious
intensions, and he had married some
one else.
This morning false report that MIR.
Stariine was counting Rosa Rhubarb,
the doctors daughter, had reach ed her,
and she was very cross. Moreover, her
dear crony, the Widow Lane, had come
to stay all day. Every woman has one
crony In the world before whom she
plays no part. Over a late lunch, Miss
Witherly was talking to Mrs. Lane as
she talked to no one else, when the
clergyman arrived. and a new servant,
who was not acquainted with the gen.
tleman, thus announced him:
"A man wants you, Miss witherly."
"Old Hopper, l suppose" said Miss
Witherly, Il promised to send his wife

lunch, for I don't disturb myself for
any one to-day"
And Jane, returning to Mr.. Starline,
escorted him to the parlor. where every
word that was spoken in the dining
room was plainly audible
The clergyman seated himself in-the
largest armchair, which was near the
communicating door, and folded his
hands and waited. He was composing
an ornate proposition. He had got as
far as: MY dear and respected Miss
Witherly. you may have remarked"
when suddenly sharp voice smote his
ear with these words, "Old Starline."

lleve his ears. Involuntarily he leaned
a little nearer the door and heard the
words repeated.

same name. I'm not DID," said Mr..

HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMAN.
It Makes Them More Independent and
Self-Supporting.

1t Makes Them More Independent and
Seh-Supporting.
The higher education of women
marks the greatest social advance
that this country has made during the
last half century. During that time
we have come to make general APP
plication of the Delphic Inscription:
Know myself" We are giving both
sexes the benefit of It. It is not the
least but one of the greatest advan-
tages Of this higher education that the
woman of to-day does know herself
much better than did her mother or
grandmother, and with that self
knowledge comes a better under
standing Of her relations to the world
about her.
The college girl of to-day is health
Ter, stronger. saner, more Independent,
more resolute and more useful than
were the social butterflies or the
household drudges of her grandmoth-
er's time. In the experimental stages
of this new development there may
have been danger. but the education
of the body as well as of the mind is
now well looked after in all our girls
colleges, indeed, much better than in
colleges for the other sex. Their ex-
ercise is regular and not carried to
excess, and the percentage of illness
in these institutions is generally
much less than 1t is among the same
number of girls Of equal condition out
side of them.
We don't know whether as large a
proportion of college girls marry as
of those who finish their education
earlier. Perhaps not. They don't
have to. That very independence of
which we have spoken gives them
more latitude. Moreover, as rule. it
takes more of man to marry the
educated than the uneducated girl.
but when the right one applies there
is no danger that she will be afraid
of him, while, other things being
equal, he is especially fortunate in his
choice. If there is any-o one thing that
has come to stay and broaden in its
application, it is the higher education
of women.
