A Legend of Laughter.

There Is a poetic legend that Psyche, troubled at heart, went to consult a wise woman about e trait in the char acter of Eros which caused her un- easiness. Faiteringly she told the story of how the ambrosiai plumed boy had entered her window in the dark ness, related how winged love had nightly companioned her, how he had stopped from his high estate to court her. simple maiden though she was, and yet-that was the crux Of the whole plaint--yet he laughed at her: laughed at her simple maiden moods, laughed at her trembling joy. laughted at her wish to see his face, laughed at her love.
 Those of you who know the story will remember that affectionate chid- ing of the old mother: remember how she told poor, fearful Psyche that the littleness which made the god laugh was the very thing which bound him in the bonds of love; told her that he must ever love her the more the more she made him laugh. Love and 1aush- ter! Have they not been coupled since the world began? The heart beats faster, the blood courses merrily through the veins, the world shows fairest, the beloved one shows fairest of all. and, catching a hint of the infinite joyousness of things, the ulti- mate happiness of a one day to be perfected creation, the lover laughs. Laugh like the gods, the laugh of one who is supreme and knows himself to be so, the laugh of one who is young with the ichor of immortality in his veins, of one who is changeless, time less insatiate.

 In a womanly way she called the at- tention of her hearers to the useless lives so many women were living, and verified her statements by indisputable evidence from personal knowledge. Full of energy herself and conscientiously desiring to do good and not evil. Mrs. Gilman has made some wonderful dis coveries through original and unique methods: hence the value of her state ments and suggestions.
 That as rule American women are the most extravagant in the whole world there Is no denying. In all countries where Americans sojourn even temporarily the natives are ap- palled at their extravaganza. often in- sisting that native families twice as large as the American ones could live luxuriously on what we throw away or allow to be wasted.
 We cannot deny that the women who preside over our homes are directly responsible for this wilful waste. The majority of young women of the United States are educated by example and indulgence to despise small things. They confound economy with parsi- mony and pride themselves on what they call their generosity without for a moment realizing that i've eat and dring and wear and waste money we never earned as if wealth dropped from the heavens"
 Almost criminally neglecting to look after the expenditures of the members of our family and the reckless waste of the servants of most households, we excuse ourselves by saying, well, whatever else We may be, we are not mean and stingy." Our carelessness and indifference not only allow unpar- donable extravaganza, but seriously de- moraiixe servants. They feel that what they destroy and allow to become unit for use through neglect costs them nothing. Not infrequently to carry on their high-handed waste they object to their mistresses coming into their kitchens. If they are reprimanded they threaten departure, and remind their employers that Mir. and Mrs. So and So did this. that and the other thing, or that their former employers did not look after little things or care what their servants did, so long as they performed their duties. Many men and women who have luxurious homes quietly submit to such dictation from their employees because 1t Is too much trouble to give their personal attention to domestic or economic affairs; there fore, in most homes of the wealthy or even well-to-do. high life below stairs" is the rule, and not the excep- tion,

and coaching preceded the game and the beligerent women wore counten- ances burdened with the importance of the occasion. No Yale or Princeton youths could have felt the weight of the issue more. The game showed both
 sides to have become quite proficient
 in the game. The score was to o in favor of the Calhoun Chamberlain girls. The play of the game was made by Miss Katherine Liddell when she put the ball in the basket from the twenty. foot line. In speaking of basket ball writer in the Outing for this month says:
 The pastime is unique in that young
 men play 1t without fear of being call. ed eneminate. while young women in school and college fight out their cham. pionships without being called masou- line. It Is the only prominent and
 widely popular field of school and col- legs activity adapted to the physical
 skill of both sexes. On. the Pacific Coast, as among the woman's colleges of the East. basketball is a feminine diversion. In the former territory, the young women's league includes teams
 from Stanford, California and Nevada
 universities. Mills and the San Jose Normal School. This combination boasts league executive board which
 meets annually in January to arrange
 the schedule of the seasons game. At
 such leading oo-educational universities
 as Michigan. the girls play series of
 class games. pretty feature to en-
 liven the grind of winter on the cam pus.
 "As an admirable stimulus to draw
 young men and women to the gymna-
 sium, as a training ground for oars
 men and baseball player, and as an in- | tefesting and varied sport, basketball deserves It's high esteem. But, absurd | as 1t sounds, the game has been al- | ready invaded by the professional coach, for the American collegian is
 never content to let his athletics re-
 main pastime, so long as there is the
 spur of rivalry with other teams. The college world has seen football made a I species of hard labor. and baseball
 turned over to professional handlers,
 and knows that the results have been
 demoraliEing to the spirit of play. As | soon as a new branch of wholesome | sport becomes established, the profess
 sional coach is sure to be in demand
 and basketball will go the way of its
 fellow pastimes, and become a burden
 to the athletic finances of the colleges
 with paid coaches and trainers and
 costly training stables"
