AFTER GIRLS GRADUATE.
Forty-one Brides Out of Possible

Record of One Class.
 What becomes of the college girls? Why, nothing very unusual happens to them,' said a college president. They scatter all over the country and do nothing particularly sensational.
 I've just been looking over the class book of class that has been out of college 10 years and the statistics show strong tendency toward teach ing and travel. There were about 145 in the class when it graduated and up to date only fl husbands have been acquired.
 ''One-third of the class has travelled abroad. while all but 30 mention teach ing and tutoring. About 55 have done graduate work at other schools and colleges.
 What the girls themselves regard as the most important incident or spot in the 10 years since their graduation varies as much as the girls themselves. Married on the hottest day you ever saw to the best fellow records one. Married a lieutenant in the United States Navy and since then have lived in trunk in various places as near the sea coast as possible writes an- other.
 'One young woman writes tersely: My native town can boast of but one sane college woman and my family questions that Another records; Had an attack of typhoid fever at Constantinople, which necessitated a French hospital Greek physician, a nurse who spoke German and Turks to carry Sedan chairs
 "A model aunt endeavoring to show four sisters how, to bring up children, frankly. records another graduate. Last two years occupied with clerical work Household cares and an ad- vanced course in measles is another record. Bookbinding has been the | occupation of one young woman. Here's a young woman whose spe- cialty has been surgery and she has performed a difficulty operation on the Maharani at the palace of the ,Maharajah of Oormea. And here is girl who has evidently made up her mind that she is going to be spinster for she's adopted a little girl.
 
 Spent last 10 years in having surgical operations, writing books and music and learning to ride a bucking bron- cho.' The girl who writes this has a keen sense of humor: After two years of nervous exhaustion got mar 1 ried and am now emulating The Com muters Wife in building a house and garden. And look at this girl, after acquiring various degrees on deep sub- i jects and writing learned thesis, she says her present occupation is nurse | maid and housekeeping
 "I defy anyone to make a thrilling tale out of 10 years in a private school writes one young woman, and another gives evidence that teaching has not been an unmixed joy by writ ing: For a year taught everything under heaven, and now my specialties have simmered down to Greek and physical culture
 ( Packed and unpacked,' is the brief history of another.
 "The most enthusiastic naturalist in the State of Vermont is another record Been doing little illus trating, bear shooting and chaperon- ing modestly writes one young woman who has really achieved considerable fame as an artist.
 | "The pathetic record of another is: Have achieved neither fame nor matrimony but belong to many SO cieties, most of them respectable
 But there is one feature about the /. history of this class that is worth not ing. Nearly every member of it has been busy in one way or another. If they have not been earning their liv- ing or studying they have interested themselves in settlement work, church work. etc.'-Chicago Chronicle.
