The CnIIeEe woman.

President Hyde Of Bowdoin college has
embodied in q book Just published the sub
stance Of lectures which he has given on
the subject OF college men and women. and
especially the women part Of It is interest
ing. He thinks that II is possible for a
college woman to be happy II she will go
into the world forgetting that she is diff
ferent from other women and not try to
bring the world to her
you college women" ne says, "have
something that the world has not Forget
II. Think OF the farmer, the mechanic, the
clerk as your brothers, the seamstress the
shop girl, the factory hand, as your sisters;
respect and reverence their contribution to
the world as your own; look forward to the
time when, after years of apprenticeship
to real life, you may do your little part
with something Of the patient, modest,
cheerful unpretentiousness and genuineness
with which they are doing theirs"
President Hyde seems to think that most
college women graduate with feeling Of
superiority over their less fortunate sisters.
They do not aspire to the common every
day duties we'll fulfilled Of life. They would
shine down II possible upon the lesser
world with the light OF literature. OF music,
of art, or, failing that, they would aid less
fortunate mortals In the gentle ministry
of the social settlement or the charity
organization. These college women would
have nothing to do with common. homely
interests, or take up their burdens among
the workers Of the world. You must bear
on your backs your share OF the world
burden" he admonishes them. and feel
in your heart your part in the worid-sorrow,
in normal experiences within the home,
the shop, the market, before you have the
slightest possibility Of being able profitably
to shine down upon IT from above with
artistic radiance or social reformation. All

tocracy, whether Of birth, wealth, beauty,

Her manner Is that of the cultured gentle

many friends from the years OF her past
social triumphs, and they are all attentive
to her. Her room in the Louise house Is
usually fragrant with fresh flowers But
with all these attentions 1t is lonely

The Louise Home is a large, roomy in

OF childish footsteps and prattle. All the
boarders in this big house are between

loneliness OF advanced age and reduced
circumstances.
Mrs. Semple in her youth was her
fathers constant companion. She was
good musician and was the life and spirit
of his household She was gay and loving
and beautiful She played for him In his
leisure moments and sang him to- sleep
when he was tired. His favorite sOAg was
an old-fashioned one called Rome" the
words of which she now repeats to herself
every day, in faI.cy recalling the many
times her father listened to them with de-
light At the age OF 10 she became the
wife Of Mr.. Semple. When the death of
William Henry Harrison made Tyler presI-
dent he brought large and interesting
family to the White House. Mrs Tyler
was an invalid and could never discharge
the duties as mistress OF the White House.
During the first few months Of Tylers ad-
ministratlon Mrs. Robert Tyler, wife Of
son OF the president, acted as his hostess,
while the presidents beloved daughter,
Letitta, remained at their Virginia home
with her mother. Some months later Mrs.
Tyler made the trip to Washington, ae-
companied by her daughter. now Mrs,
Semple, but succumbed to her malady very
shortly afterward and was buried from
the White House, OF which she had never
been able to assume the duties OF mis-
tress.
After the death of her mother Mrs. Sem
! pie assumed the duties Of mistress OF the
| White House, which she discharged with
grace and tact until her fathers second
marriage only a few months before his
term Of once expired.

Profession to Ala shoppers.


A new profession. with meny special
branches. all particularly adapted to
women, has arisen gradually and quietly
until now It occupies a highly important
relation to oil trades that have to do with
house furnishing and womens attire. Call
II ''consultant" and you have a name
that fits without clearly defining the pro-
fession.
Its aim is to assist those women who
are not remarkably gifted in decorative
taste in selecting their furniture, wall
paper garments. etc. 1t follows, therefore,
that every branch OF the general consulting
profession requires a specialist.
