REUBEN WHITES
ESCAPE
By DUKE CUYLER.

r HE mountain tourists, as they fol-
low along the banks of the winding
Saco toward the place of its birth in
the Great Notch, have their attention
attracted by huge rock by the road
side that bears the name of the Bart
lett bowlder.
1t is not so much the size of the
rock as its strange position that at
tracts the notice of the passer-by. 1t
seems almost as though it was placed
there through the agency Of human
hands, standing, as 1t does, on the sum-
NIT of small knoll, with number Of
SMALLER stones placed under it in such
a careful manner as to cleverly bal
ance it.
Could man have had the power to
Go it, it could not have been done
more effectively.
Connected with this stone is leg
end of the early settlers, which l will
endeavor to relate, it having been
handed down from generation to gen.
grafton among the residents of the
mountain region.
Among the first settlers of Conway
was a man by the name of Reuben
White. His cabin stood upon the high
bank overlooking the fertile region
that lies along the Saco, where he had
made quite a clearing and got the
most of it into a good state of culti-
walton. He had been subjected to the
usual drawbacks incident to the set
tiers of that region, but thus far had
triumphed over them all.
The wild beasts had given him much
trouble, and the savages. when they
came sometimes from the wilderness

Girls Beat the Boys.

Cocducation is resulting in the intel
lectual humiliation of men. In the
class rooms of almost every college and
university where the joint instruction
of both sexes is permanent feature the
feminine students have been excelling
their masculine rivals, and at a majority
of the commencement day ceremonies
which are now close at hand the girl
graduate will practically monopolize
the honors in scholarship. The superb
ority of the young woman student over
her athletic brother in the duties for
which colleges are endowed seems now
to be an established fact. In order that
the question might not be considered
from any limited local point Of view or
judged by isolated instances, the Chi
cage Record Herald has collected statis-
tics relating to the comparative scholar
ship of men and women in the under
graduate liberal arts departments OF IL
prominent coeducational institutions,
north, south, east and west. The result
is truly surprising. In one graduating
clasj alone have the men excelled the
women-and this event caused gener-
al surprise among the faculty of that
particular university. In two or three
of the others the data we're not yet avail
able, but everything pointed toward the
usual victory of the women. In all 9TH
ers the eternal feminine was overwhelm-
ingly triumphant.

ADVICE TO STOUT WOMEN
Be Careful to Avoid the Very Tight
Skirts and Never Wear Any
thing Save with Long Lines.

For the stout woman the great
Worth insisted on flowing lines and
quite regardless of the prevailing fash
ions-absolutely refused to trim their
gowns with horizontal effects. The
stout woman will therefore be wise II
she accepts as cardinal points in the
study of her wardrobe these two essen
tials.
1t is wonderful. too, what a straight
line will do for the stout figure, while
curves merely accentuate its embon-
point and become unsightly instead OF
beautiful. All gowns should be OF some
soft material that can be put on ex-
tremely full over closely fitted lining
of silk This lining clings to the fig-
ure and adds nothing to its bulk, while
the voluminous skirt, draped upon it,
is too soft to take up space over the
hips and yet is full enough to give
broad, sweeping lines.
Many stout women are appalled, at
the suggestion of q full skirt. But II
they will try on skirt that lies snugly
around the hips and waist and flares
well out from the hips down, they will
see how slender their figures will ap-
pear in contrast to the fullness of the
skirt. The fullness should appear to
spring from the belt, and the outline
of the hips should never be accentu-
ated by having the skirt fitted to them.
The fitted yoke, with gagged or fittec
skirt springing from the yoke, is alsi
an error of judgment.
There is no fashion worse suited to
the stout woman, as such skirt cute
the figure and gives short, Dump
appearance. The top of the skirt should
have fullness laid in plaits and tucka
extensively gagged skirts should neve.
be worn except by tall women, and
even by them with discretion.
In the matter of trimming great caro-
should be taken. Long panels some
times appear to reduce the size of the
figure. but the horizontal trimmings
whether put on in wavy lines or seal
lops, always reduce the height and APP
pear to increase the breadth of the
woman who wears them. Trimming on
the hens gives breadth to the bottom
of the skirt and seems to give be
coming length to the wearer.
The stout woman who dresses to hel
figure rather than to fashionable mod
els is always more smartly gowned
than she who wears what is fashion
able in itself rather than what is suit
able.
Don't use frills of any kind on a
gown if you are stout. Use fiat trim
rings.
Don't wear wide belts. :
Don't trim skirt except at the bot
tom.
Don't wear a sleeve that is full below
the elbow.
Don't wear an Elton coat. Always
have the coat line extend as far be,
low the waist line as possible
Don't wear tight-fitting coat.
Don't wear bow ties. Wear some.
thing small and narrow If tie is re-
quired.
Don't wear fluffy things around the
neck. Let the neck finishing be as fiat
as possible.
Don't wear a high-cut decolletage
Have the low bodice cut to an extrem-
ity of decollete. and build up the top
with patchy effects to the required
| height.

HABIT OF GOOD MANNERS.
There Is Nothing Truer Than That
They Cannot Be Put On and
Of at Ones Will.

A gay society for you or for me or
for anyone to practice and perfect our
selves in all the lovely arts that make
for popularity.
The best school for manners is al
ways ones home, which may be great
or a ghumble house, set in the fashion
able district of a large city or in the
country or in the back woods. Where
ever it is you can perfectly easily and
most advantageously pursue there your
own course of study of the deeds and
words that express and that win love
and liking
A little air of gayety is one of the
most attractive qualities that house
companion can display. A languid
melancholy mood creates a depressing
atmosphere. If you are subject to low
spirits make haste to realize they must
be controlled or thrown of entirely;
much more frequently than is thought
they are just lazy indifference or in
diligence.
Simply because you are not within
eyeshot of strangers, because some
thing has happened to annoy or dis
tress you and only the family is to be
assembled at dinner, don't assume that
you have the right to bring to the table
a long and woeful countenance on
which 1t would seem that smile would
never again dawn Come in to break.
fast with shining morning manner
and give your greetings all around with
a look and in tone that compliment

see your relatives again and that you
are ready to take a most prompt and
affectionate interest in them.
