chaeology at Philadelphia paper con-
corning her Cretan work. Mrs. Corne-
Illus Stevenson, secretary of the Amer
lean Exploration society, heard the pa
per. At the close of the meeting Mrs.
Stevenson asked Miss Boyd if she
would not like to go back to Crete and
explore further. The young lady's
heart bounded for gladness. Some
wealthy Philadelphians who belonged
to the exploration society aided Mrs.
Stevenson in getting money for the
expenses of this new enterprise and
early in 1901 Miss Boyd, accompanied
by a Smith college classmate, Miss
Blanche E. Wheeler. started on her
second exploring expedition to Crete
1t is to be noted that this is the first
time the leadership of an important
public archaeological expedition has
been intrusted to a woman. The wo-
man gave rich return for the trust re-
posed in her Through her researches
more knowledge has been gained of the
true conditions of that strange epoch
which is called the Mycenaean civiliza-
ton period than was ever ascertained
before.
Briefly. with 100 workmen under her
charge, Miss Boyd excavated a hill
near Gournia. in eastern Crete. The
hill was overgrown with a forest of
carob trees. When it was dug into,
whole town was discovered. 1mple-
ments showed it to belong to the bronze
age, before the use of iron was common.
1t must be 3,400 years old, yet here it
was, manifestly more civilized than
some American towns today, having
streets paved and drained. There was
beautiful pottery. there were seven
room houses two stories high, the lower
one of stone, the upper one of brick,
pressed and fire baked. Articles made
of copper and even of iron were found,
showing a higher state of civilization

There are some girls who would at

in an entirely strange place. There are
others who might live years in a place
before any one would care whether
they were there or not. And the reason

simply amounts to a question of self
ishness and unselfshness. No girl need
be without friends if she has a CHEEKY
nature and a lively manner, and every
girl can have that if she stops being
self centered and self plying.
However, in my opinion there is a
class of girls that positively enjoy dis
NAL solitude and the possession of
grievances. All such a girl needs is an
occasional audience to hear all this
misery. But you can be sure of one
