.HONORS ARE AWAITING
MISS HELEN KELLER
No Truth in Story That She Is Rot to
Receive Friends, and
Is Angry.

BOSTON. June 25.-Some irresponsi-
bic person has started the story that
Miss Helen Keller, the noted blind stu
dent. has refused TO participate in the
commencement festivities at Radcliffe
because she IS disappointed at not re-
ceiving high honors for her four years
work at the Harvard Annex.
The story doubtless originated in the
fact that Miss Keller did not receive her
friends at the Radcliffe class night Oh
Wednesday. The truth OF the matter is
that the young woman was not present
because she feared TO slight some of her
many friends by not sending them cards
for the reception Each member Of the
graduating class had only thirty tickets,
and as this number would not begin to
90 around among her most intimate
friends, Miss Keller remained away.
4 close friend Of Miss Keller Is au-
thority for the statement that the story
IS entirely without foundation. Miss
Keller she says. instead OF harboring
any disappointment. Is looking forward
with much eagerness 10 being made the
recipient Of unusual honOTs next week
IL Is believed that the young woman
will receive a cum laude with her degree,
and possibly magma cum laude.

THE HOME ITS PROBLEMS AVD INTERESTS
d q OBSERVATIONS of peQqu D. D.

1t is claimed by some of our wise
acres that women have not much en-
durance
Here IS one woman's social record for
the past fifteen months: She has been
present at 271 receptions. 4OS dinners,
$50 teas, III dances; has made 1.643 calls,
shaken hands with $1,000 persons-and
she still lives and is apparently healthy.
This wonderful person e. Miss Alice
Roosevelt.
But, after all, women have an extra
amount of endurance to compensate
for their lack of the strength which
men possess.
While the middle class man works
seven or eight hours a day. the woman
works the whole day through, from
early morning till dewy eve. In addi-
ton to this. IL she is married she looks
after her children and answers their
mulitudinous questions. makes and
mends their clothes, perhaps. and hears
their lessons.
II she is unmarried and is a business

l wonder where the term weaker
Sex comes in? And l often wonder Just
why woman has been endowed with d
weaker frame than man, seeing that
she has so much more work to accom-
plish.
This. to me. is one of the weak points
In the question of woman in the com

he has the rest for leiaure.
A woman, on the contrary, finds her

Few Women Stammer.

How many women have you ever
known who stammered? a few Of US. If
this question were put. could remember
one or possibly two. but the great ma
jorfty would have difficulty in recalling
a single case.
And how many men?
Most persons at even a moments
notice can recall cases ranging in num-
Der from one to five.
This divergence is due not to any trick
Of a defective memory, but TO one OF
the most curious OF actual facts.
The truth is that the proportion Of
those afflicted with stammering or slut
ering is 100 men 10 l woman. II Is
one Of the most remarkable things in
the science OF pathology. Even the
specialists in nervous diseases seem ut
terry at loss to account for it.
An eminent medical authority IS quot
ed as saying that IN all his experience
ne had known of only one woman that
stammered. When asked how he ac-
counted for the immunity OF the fair
sex from this affection he replied:
'Stammering Is an epnepuc onecion
Of the organs Of speech, and the victim
is usually person OF high-strung,
eXcitable temperament. At the last
analysis the cause lies in the mind;
cause he fears he Will Stammer and
thus make himself ridiculous.
''Stammering Is due 10 self-consciOus-
ness. and IT has been my experience
that women seldom suffer from self
consciousness. Social success is more
necessary TO their happiness than IL is
to mems, and II as girls they have
tendency TO shyness or timidity they
set about overcoming II at an early
age. and concentrate their attention
upon doing so until they succeed.
Il do not mean 10 say that ell women
are totally void of self-COnsCiOuSneSs
L Is curious. however. that II they have
Il tendency TO shyness or timidity that
is so deeply rooted as to make II diff
cult to overcome. their confusion must
often manifest itself IN blushing rather
than stammering. l have known girls
who were victims of the blushing habit,
and 1 discovered that they blushed for
the same reason that 1 stammercd-fear

JAPANESE DOLLS
As Essential as the Jap Baby's Clothes
Are Its Toys.

When a daughter is born in the home
Of japanese family a pair OF images,
called hina, are purchased for her. and
with these dolls she plays till she is
grown to an age when it is not con-
sidered necessary for her to play with
dolls any longer. When she Is mar
ried these dolls are carried with her TO
her husbands house, and are religiously
saved. so that her own daughters may
have them afterward, and add TO the
collection as she grows up.
These dolls are made OF carved wood
or enameled clay, and are made in
the image of the Mikado and his wife
or some Of the mobiles of the province
The greatest day for the little boys
is the fifth OF the fifth month This Is
the feast of flags Previous TO this day
there are great displays Of images Of
heroes, warriors. commanders, generals
soldiers, famous wresters, etc.
4 set Of these toys is bought for every
boy born into a Japanese family, and
with the little girls collection the Japa-
nesc children have a curious collection
OF images that bring 10 their minds the
stories OF the heroes OF the ancient
Japan.
