struotors manage to look after the girls
who need certain work more han others.
Although far from an individual system, a
considerable amount of time is devoted to
each one. The college has about 970
students. The gymnasium classes are there
fore large, ranging all the way from SO to
$50 members.
The girls go to the gymnasium through
the fall n winter three times a week.
There is a good sized tank in the gymnasium
and almost all the girls use it. The gym
nasium. which was presented by the alumns,
was built in 1889. At that time there were
less than 400 students in the college. Now,
with more thar twice that number OF stu
dents, the building is hardly large enough.
Plans have been drawn for a new one.
The main exercising room, the locker
rooms and baths and the swimming tank
are OF the main floor. The tank Is 4S
feet by "a feet and is kept at a proper tenn
perature. 1t is lighted direct from the
pen air, and on warm days the windows
above can be opened so as to give draughts
of fresh air.
Upstairs in the gymnasium building
is the Philalathean Hall, which is used
mainly for the giving Of plays. There are
four hall plays each year given up there.

there is only a sort Of feeble interclass
tournament. which never assumes big
proport ions. At Vassar we are fond Of
the athletic idea, and we want to have it de-
veloped as far as we can without danger
to those concerned"
The gymnasium side Of the physical edu-
cation system is not so important as at most
colleges, There are required from each
girl four years Of work in physical educa-
ton; but the gymnasium closes at the end
of March and the required work shifts to
out OF doors thereafter. The gymnasium is
a busy place in the fall and winter. Some-
times in the regular gymnasium session the
girls get out for a run around the athletic
circle.
The hoor work Is conducted under the
direction Of Miss Ballintine, who Is assisted
by Eva G. May and Florence S. Dali. Miss
Ballintine Is a graduate of DR.. Sargent's
Normal School of Gymnastics and has been
at Vassar for fourteen years. She does
not apply the Swedish system OF gymnas-
tics, %oontenting herself with ordinary floor
drills. The gymnasium at Vassar is we'll
stocked with apparatus. In fact there seems
to be more than can easily be used.
Upon entrance, as in the other colleges,
the girls go through the usual physical ex-
animation. They are measured and all
statistics recorded. On the basis Of the
examination they are recommended to do

Uptown in the heart of the fashionable
retail neighborhood there is a most hos.
pitable tailor. His kindness to the stranger
in town is not confined to telling him just
what he should wear and making him pay
very high prices for it.. He shows him how
he should live. A suite Of rooms is so ar
ranged that they display exactly the man
ner Of living that the patrons Of such a high
priced place should follow. Not a detail of
a gentleman's life as it should be In ac-
nordance with this tailor's ideas is omitted.
"We have fitted up this bachelor SUITE
the salesman says, -to show our customers
who may just have arrived in New York
how a gentleman ought to live. We have
here a typical bachelor suite OF two rooms
and a bath. We show every convenience Of
the bath and the toilet. You car learn from
inspecting this room how the valet should
arrange your clothes, just how many OF
every garment a gentleman requires and
just how he should have them kept when
they are not in use. His hats are In their
places, his gloves are on stretohers or folded
in their boxes, his boots are on trees and
his coats hang on their shoulder hooks.
IAN this simplifes matters very con-
siderably for men from the West. They

however, all the compositions being out on

So a. far a straight gymnasium work

Vassar favors the girl athlete and
heartily believes that athletic sports are
good for women. Smith is against The
idea, and Miss Berenson, who has charge
at Smith, says that the athlete is not
normal.
To tell the truth, they are apparently a
normal lot Of girls at yassar. They look
very much like the girls in other colleges,
They have the hatless habit, and through
the winter months the girls walk about with
no other protection on their heads than
nature provides.
OF course, most OF the girls wear sweaters.
Il Is a great fad apparently at Vassar to
wear q sweater with class numerals earned
in some branch Of athletic sport. One young
woman appeared through the winter with
her sweater reversed, after the fashion

The idea Of intercollegiate competition
always has been discouraged at vassar.
The teams that are formed are interclass
teams solely and simply. They compete
among themselves, and there is no desire

There are other tips that this
dating shop will distribute to Its customers.
There are always highly recommended
brands Of cigarettes which are cordially
forced on the patrons OF the place, and
there are also various brands Of whiskey
which are said to be the very best pro-
durable. There are even certain stocks that
the brokers' Office in the building handles
but that Is another story.
There Is no limit to the hospitality Of the
broker who happens to get the account Of
a rich stranger. 1t used to be regarded as
a popularity of New York that It's business
and social life we're entirely distinct. Wives
might move in utterly different social
circles although their husbands were part
ners. This same state Of affairs exists still,
in all probability, where native New Workers.
are concerned, but the rule has been re-
Taxed in favor OF the strangers.
One man has been especially successful
on the Stock Exchange during the last five
years chiefly through the large accounts he
has with the rich men who have come to
New York. This lucky broker has an ex-
cellent position in society, and people are
glad to be invited to his house. especially
il they are strangers who have come here
and want to form a circle Of acquaintance.
This man uses his position as a kind Of
capital that has 80 far proved an excellent

She calls on the new arrivals just as
promptly as il she were in a small Southern
town and has them around to dinner
promptly. That lie her way Of getting
business for her husband. and it works
very we'll. They are. OF course, criticised
for this by some people who are rich enough
not to have to think how they are going
to make money.
There are many ways in which q New
York woman can show very grateful! atten-
tions to strangers from out Of town. She
can invite themto Join bridge clubs, become
pa~tronesses' Of societies, and make their
position very pleasant as strangers here,
There are other persons willing to make
it very pleasant for the newcomer who has
money and is willing to spend 1t. He will
be very cordially received by young men
who are touting for q brand Of ohampa gne,
and he may have the pleasure Of knowing
that the guests at most Of the houses he
would like to visit also drink the brand from
which this young man draws a part Of the
income on which he and his wife keep up
their beautiful home.
1t pays him, therefore, to be kind to the
visiting stranger, Just as it nays most Of
the natives whose hospitality has been de-

broad jump and the running high jump,
are national records for women.
Besides these sports, there is an interclass
relay race. The interclass basketball
championship also takes place out on the
open field. the gymnasium being used for
pra ctioe alone.
Miss Harriet Isabel Ballintine Is director
Of the gymnasium, and incidentally athletic
trainer, as far as training is done. Natu-
rally, not every girl is permitted to go in for
athletic sports. Not all Of them are strong
enough to undergo the real strain that Is
a part of the training; but as a general
thing the Vassar idea is to welcome athletic
competition
I'VE want the girls to go out for the
games" says Miss Ballintine, "we think
it is a good thing for them. There is no
harm in running and jumping, and, in fact,
the girls like to get out and see how close
they can come to doing what their brothers
do, They really enjoy the work, and from
the time the gymnasium closes and the
field is in fit shape the girls are out there.
THE field is used for other sports, too.
Basketball outdoors is one Of the best
things up here, and the girls play a great
deal. There is also a field hockey team.
It is the first of its kind in the country.
The girls take a great deal Of interest in
the game. and they play all through the
spring. Tennis is played here, too, but
