made many Of the participants and on

by-gonc days was by far prettier and
more graceful than the up-to-date round
dance of to-day. There were about
twonty-five young couples on the floor
and four couples Of more advanced years
who have never before appeared In the
ballroom at the Sweet Analybeate. al
though they have spent many summers
here since their childhood days.
The girls were dressed as country lassics.
with pretty little bonnets and aprons,
while the boys appeared as country lads
In overalls. All the girls were positively
beautiful, while the effect produced on
the boys was exactly the opposite. a
hay-stack In the center of the ballroom,
on WHlcn were scared several couples,
made a very pretty scene.
Some OF those who danced were Misses

RHODES SCHOLARS AT OXFORD.
rom The Iondon Athenaum.

From The London Athen8um.
The seventy-nine Rhodes scholars who
main to us from last year have been reinforced
by another Sixty-Seven. This brings the num-
Der in residence to something like thirty short
of the total for whom provision is made under
the terms of the Will South Africa and some
been subjected to the oxford responsions test
other hand, the States of the American Union
have from the first borne the brunt of that
fiery ordeal; and, sad to relate, whilst only
couple failed in 1904, this year the victims, for
the most part from the newer Western States
number half a score
Meanwhile, if it may be said without prejudice
to the pioneer year. whose path was strewn with
difficulties since removed, the fresh batch is in
the opinion of college tutors, of superior
intellectual calibre while all the tutors
agreed that the new scholars have at any rate
a much better idea of what line of study they
wish to pursue The RhodeSians are well spread
out among the colleges OF the present year
Christ church takes Z; Balliol and Oriel, 5; Ex-
eter, st. Johns Queens and Magdalen, 4 and
the other colleges 3 less Ultimately the
larger colleges will have from twelve to eighteen
in residence, the smaller nine or ten. They
average about two years above the English
dergraduateS, most of them having had some
previous experience of university life. Educa-
tionally, however, they find themselves pretty
well on par with the better class of public
school boy, and socially they are altogether
success participating freely in the life of the
place. Assuredly the dream OF Cecil Rhodes is
coming true

suggest that the American working girl only
works because she has to- that she doesn't like
to- and, what is worse that she rarely knows
how to- In fact, as a rule she does not work,
"she Is simply worked" The author speaks
plainly:
To work is a privilege and a boon to either man
woman, and properly regulated it ought TO be a
pleasure To be worked" is degrading. To work
is dignifying and enrolling for to work means the
exercise of the mental, quite much the physi
cal self But the average working girl puts neither
heart mind into her labor; she is merely a ma
chine. though the comparison is a libel the
functions of first class machinery The harsh truth
is that, hard the working girl is worked, and
miserable her remuneration is, she is usually
paid quite much as she is worth.
The author is frank however, to relieve the
working girl of the main responsibility for these
conditions and to place it on 'our present socio-
economic SYSTEM" and on the lack of proper
directive education in the public schools She
observed that those young who had
ceived the benefits of kindergarten training were
able to work with far more intelligence and
economy of effort than their fellows The vol
ume is full of interest; it contains material for
reflection and incentive to action.

great companies for romantic treatment. The
stories cleverly told and entertaining in
character, though not little of the matter is
familiar to any one who has been the object of
the personal attentions of solicitOus solicitor
The present agitation the subject of insur-
ance is likely to promote interest in a volume
which is quite capable of maintaining it on its
merits.
The experiences of young, unframed country
girl seeking employment in New-York, as re-
lated by the heroine in 1.-The Long Day" can
only be regarded as fiction in far as the au-
thor acknowledges that while the incidents de-
have been somewhat rearranged in sequence, and
made to cover a somewhat shorter period than
they purport to represent, in order to heighten
the interest in the narrative The story is more
mentors and investigators who have temporarily
engaged in factory work and life in order to
market the results of their experiences, since the
authors adventures are those of one who was
forced into the ranks by necessity, and only
forced herself out of them by determined effort.
The revelations of conditions prevailing in many
of the occupations employing female labor, and
of the lives led by those who engage in them,
are not encouraging to the public who are
customed to hearing of the proudly independent,
who works for her living and is glad of it They
