WHY MARY BWGED.

Mary Kelley, giving an address in
East One Hundred and Twenty second
street, leaving a dry goods store on
Third avenue, New York. the other
afternoon, bulged considerably.
What did you steal here?" asked
the manager, stopping her.
"A lace handkerchief" admitted
Mary.
Mary walked to the East One Hun
dred and Twenty-sixth street station
with much difficulty and there the
matron solved the mystery of the
bulge. In a bag under Mary's skirts
she found four water glasses, four
saucers, brush, three handkerchiefs,
box of shoe blacking. a bottle of glue,
four side combs, a thimble, a paper of
pins, one doll, two pieces of silk, five
pairs of stockings, three hatpins, a
cook book, four mustard spoons, a
monkey wrench, a vase, two comts, a
bottle of mustard, bottle Of cologne
and a water pitcher.
The matron, in her surprise, advis
that Mary be locked up as. a shop

COLLEGE GIRLS
and
MATRiMON

- HAT less than half the young
women who graduate from Vas
i sar College marry is shown oy
Frances NJ. Abbott in recent article
in the Popular Monthly Miss Abbott
says:
THE statistics for 1ss7-1s96, which
show only twenty eight marriages per
100 graduates, with an average OF less
than one child per marriage, are OBJ
viously incomplete because half the
members were under 80 in 1900.
During the thirty years from 1867 to
1896, 1902 women have graduated from
vassar. OF these, including lis since
deceased, SAL were or had been mar
ried in 1900, being Az per cent. That
means that less than half adopted
matrimony as a profession. Taklns
only twenty years. all the graduates OF
which may be assumed to have reach
ed maria geable years (they would
average from SO to So, one finds that
out of 7O1, 372 were married, pro-
portion of SO per cent. This is stlII
only little over One-half.
THE number of children from these
372 marriages of fulI-grOwn graduates
was 500 in 1900, an average Of less than
two per family. But since 131 Of these
children were born in twenty-eight
families (an average Of over four, the
average for the bulk of the graduates
was only one and a half child per mar
riage.
such are the facts as to matrimony,
namely, that of the 700 women who left
Vassar previous to 1886 and who would
now show minimum age average of
40 years, only a few over one-half are
now married, and of those who are
married the average family is less than
two children
Miss Abbott comments as follows:
"Of graduates of the first ten classes.
whose average age now would be from
so to co. Sc per cent have never mar
ried. 1t is quite possible that some OF
the living members may marry yet, but
making allowance for sporadic cases, 80
per cent would probably include the
complete marriage record of graduates
Of this period.
These figures would seem TO confirm
( the worst fears of those who, forty
/ years ago, opposed the admission OF
( women to college. 1t is difficult to
I
circumstances enter into the question
/ of marriage. College women come from
all sections Of the country and from
most diverse social and pecuniary en-
vironment The rate here given is un-
doubtedly less than that for the whole
female population Of the country. but
! perhaps not less than might be ex-
/ pected for a specialized and highly ed
ucated class"
1t will be seen that the writer is put
on her defense even when the statis-
tics are stretched to so per cent. But
the statistics for thirty years lie be-
tween AZ and 50 per cent. None the less
the following arguments will be found
satisfactory:
The tendency Of civilization seems
to be toward comparatively late and
few marriages. One can almost judge
+ of the advancement Cd of a people as
a whole by the number Of single
women. Females among savage races,
as in the animal kingdom, are not al
lowed to remain minated. 1t is an
unusual thing in these days for we'll
bred girl to marry under 20. In our
mothers day such a course was emil
nently proper and in our grandmothers'
time girls married at Is or 16.

NEW HAIR BOW.

With the new fashion of dressing the
hair in Paris, the roll at the back, with
the long comb put in sideways and the
frightened sides, a new style of hair
ornament has come into being. This is
a broad bow of pink or blue velvet
made unusually into a stiff knot, the
two bows at one side and two wired
ends at the other, and almost covered
with glittering sequins. These new
bows are rather startling in effect at
first, though the eye soon becomes used
IN them

FIGURED GOODS

There is really no limit to the fig
ured goods that are seen, nor to the
lowered materials. One Of the hand
soonest materials looks like black satin.
Upon it are nouveau art roses. big
struggling things of heroic size, ragged
in outline and supplied with big green
leaves. This material looks more like
upholstery than dress goods. Yet lead
ers of fashion are ordering whole
gowns made out OF II.

FOR THE TALL WOMAN

The tall woman
Should never show that she is
conscious Of her height.
Should cultivate repose and a
dignified but rational carriage.
Should never allow herself to
stoop, because the result is awk-
ward and yet not an inch ap-
pears to be detracted from her
height.
Should avoid very small hats or
startling colors and plaids in
dresses.
Should above all things avoid
diminutive furniture, for a tall
woman In small seat Is abso-
lutely ridiculous, whereas a tall
Junoesque figure in high
ed chair is a joy to an artistic
eye.-Chicago Journal.

cOLORED WAISTS

After a season of black and white
waists Dame Fashion turns toward the
colored waists. The loveliest shirts are
made of Scottish plaid silk and of
plaid flannel and there are waists of
plaided satin. They are made in the
most fetching modes and for those who
are not too stout to wear plaids moth
ing prettier could be imagined.

The new shirt waists are lovely and
one pretty waist was trimmed down
the front in a lattice design. Narrow
strips of silk were stitched and lat

same lattice was employed upon the tops
Of the sleeves. The cuffs were also
latticed. And the stock was a white

THE PRESS OF THE NATION.

IT is a long time since a candidate
Of either party for the Presidency hesi-
tated TO meet the people on the pub
lie platform. Grover Cleveland was
no orator; but he never was afraid
TO speak and he never failed to get an
audience and attention. Judge Park
er's seclusion is going to be closer than
that of Mckinley in 1895, which was
rather noticeable. But the whole
country knew McKinley's person and
views. and Canton was a central point
for visiting delegations. Besides. we
believe he did make several important
speeches. Anyway, nobody ever accused
him OF disrusting his power to ad-
dress and persuade his countrymen.
We cannot wonder that the Democrat
&c leaders are a little disgusted with
the decision Of their candidate.-Min-

for the reason that they viii be citizens
eventually and educated citizens are
better than uneducated ones
During the ages prior to the discovery
of letters men had learned from exper-
fence much that was valuable and when
record began to be made of these
things the spread of this accumulated
wisdom was rapid. Some of it we find
in the Bible and more of it in the writ
ings of historians of other countries
than of those in the vicinity of Judea.
In the Bible however we find some
salutary laws which have proven so
valuable that they are embodied in the
constitutions of all civilized countries,
one of which is thou shalt keep the
Sabbath day holy To construe this
law and endeavor to discover the in
tent or the law-maker has afforded
bases for arguments during time i'm
memorial 1t is no wonder therefore
that there ire such diverse opinions as
to the manner in which the Sabbath
should be kept, although it is admitted
by the intelligent of all nations that
the observance of it is beneficial to the
race Napoleon, in his greatness, would
set aside every tenth day as a day of
rest but it would not work for the rea-
son that experience had taught men
that the seventh day was for some
occult reason the proper part of mans
life to devote to rest
1t is admitted that the teachings in
culcated during infancy go far to bias
mems thoughts in any line, witness
the 'sblue laws enacted in almost every
country. When travel has added to
mems experience they look on such
laws with horror and can not under
stand why they were enacted by fore
fathers whose wisdom they otherwise
respected. 1t is essential FOR the welfare
of mankind that the Sabbath should
be kept hut it does not follow that men
IS hould be dictated to as to how II
should be kept, other than refraining
from the customary labor. While each
Individual can keep it as he pleases he
is as much entitled to do SO without
being disturbed by others as he de-
mands in his daily avocations. One
great reason for the law is that it is
one of the bulwarks the laborer has
against the master who otherwise
would, in his cupidity, compel contin-
uous labor Therefore the law can be
called the poor mans friend, and should
be championed by him.
