st is estimated that $1,000 deaths are
traceabIe every year in the United
kingdom to trailing skirts The
long suffering Britons make no serious
effort to set rid OF the evil; but in Ger
many the danger OF the trailing skirt
as a spreader OF disease Is so thor
oughly understood that several towns
have made bylaws forbidding the
wearing of such skirts in any public
place. The offense is punishable by a
fine.
In Berlin a couple OF weeks ago a
new skirt, worn only once and traiIed
along a quarter OF mile OF one of
the cleanest streets in the city was
lnicroscopically examined. Il was
found to contain several thousand OF
bacilli. five distinct diseases being rep
resented. consumption being most in
evidence.
The wearers OF such skirts are not
the only ones. OF course. who contract

How Barnard College Girls Earn Money Pay Their Way

denly thrown on her own resources De
cause of family troubles actually or
ganized a dancing school of her own,
and she made money. She succeeded
in this way: She learned that the
nurses in one of the large New York
hospitals were anxious to learn to
dance and could take the necessary les
sons on their free evenings.
The young lady accordingly opened
her classes and. though the moderate
sum OF 10 cents a pupil was all that
the nurses were able to pay. this
plucky Barnard girl undertook the job
and was successful. She found the work
agreeable and had the advantage of
having large classes, and thus she re-
ceived handsome remuneration for a
small expenditure OF her time.
The hardest and most ambitious kind
OF work undertaken by the college is
teaching in the night schools. 1t is
extremely difficult TO continue for any
length OF time and very wearing on the
constitution, because the girl under
taking the task finds very little time
for sleep. After a day of lectures and
an evening OF teaching she must go to
her room and prepare her own work
and study her lessons for the follow
ing day at the college
Because OF this exacting and toll
some labor undergraduates rarely have
the courage to accept a position in 4
night school. Only those In the best
OF health, with a rugged and persis-
tent nature. have been successful at 1t.
Not only night school teaching, but
all outside work is difiicult for a girl
who is pursuing college course. A
foreign visitor who was studying our
American institutions once remarked:
TO q Barnard girl. II don't see
where the American college woman
finds time to accomplish 80 much. In
Europe they think they are doing quite
enough when they manage to keep up
with their studies"
1t is precisely this problem which
the Barnard girl prides herself on
that she has solved it. Her success
lies in organization.
To everything. to every duty is as
signed a place in the carefully pre-
pared day schedule and 1t receives abb
solute attention at the time appointed.
Nothing Is allowed to interfere with
the course marked out. Thus it is pos
sible for the Barnard girl to attend
to her lectures, teas, plays and dances
and at the same time earn money sufh-

to meet the larger part of her college

the main Office OF this organization
happens to be al Columbia University.
But clerical work OF this kind is not
nearly SO interesting to college stu
dent as a position which calls for
thought and originality.
This IL why we find many girls en-
ploye6 as teachers In the summer
schools, where they have chance to
learn something themselves while In
structing others. and so they enlarge
their minds in various directions. Dur
ing July and August about fifty OF the
girls were doing this kind OF work.
either as teachers, principals or SUI
perintendents. some OF them with the
New York City Department of Educa-
ton, others with the Federation OF
Churches and a few with the Baptist
&ciety.
Among the best paying positions are
those OF governess and travelling COM
panion or secretary; people who desire
college girls 10 act in such capacities
are usually wealthy and quite willing
TO pay a high salary II they are sure
OF getting some one competent and
Trustworthy and who suits their fancy.
Particularly fortunate girls have been
known TO receive as much as a hun
dred dollars a month for taking charge
Of two children end others who became
social secretaries have been equally
well remunerated.
Easy as IL seems during the summer
months while at college, the students
are rarely able to find steady employ
ment which they can do satisfactorily
and at the same time keep up their
studies. Consequently, the girls con-
tent themselves with picking up odd
jobs as they come along. without at
tempting to ind more satisfactory po-
sitions.
@'Commonest of all methods OF max
ing money during the winter months
are tutoring and giving piano lessons.
Both these employments pay well--as
much az one or two dollars an hour,
but, unfortunately. the number OF such
positions is rather limited, and so the
girls are thrown upon their resources

"A good word should be said for the
college exchange. 1t has proved very

T is frequently observed by foreign
ers that. while the conversation OF
American women is full OF vivacity,
they make hardly any use OF their
hands when talking. Rather along with
their animation they retain strict
English repose of manner. In so doing,
1t is thought by many, they completely
lose the charm of gesture making. In
deed, in America there are no national
gestures except the hard and mechani-
cal ones OF nodding and shaking the
head and the use OF the fingers for
reckoning. To reprove another or to
affirm the conversation by shaking the
index finger OF the right hand is re-
garded as extremely bad form These
few are gestures, moreover, lacking in
either charm or beauty.
On the contrary, the French woman ;

are at once picture and a volume of
oratory. The slight backward move
mcnt she at times gives her head, the
more than slight elevation of her body,
lends command to her pose and ex-
presses negative as infiexible as the
laws of tho Modes and PeTsians. The
acts of her life. in fact, are expressed
by a French woman with her hands.
and in such a way that he who looks
on her gestures may read their mean
ing. BY one slight movement she can
reanimate or keep from tagging con-
versation. AS q rule. however. the
French womans hands are not as
beautiful as those OF American women.
They are more thick set, less flexible.
It is in the grace OF their use that she
creates charm.
But in the use of gestures the French
woman is outdone by the ladies of
Spain, who from infancy are taught to
regard their gestures as the practice
of q fine art. The grace a Spanish
woman wields with her fan is proven

A Is true that the Barnard girls can
earn more during vacation months
fn doing outside work than the boys
OF Columbia. though when inquiries
were made at the Office those in author
ity at Barnard said that they knew
nothing about II and doubted - there
was any wsy OF sscertaining particu-
lsrs.
However one OF the brightest Of the
young women about TO be graduated
undertook to interview the girls, and
here is her report:
When ] read that girls at Barnard
beat their brothers in Columbia 1
doubted it, especially the information
that twonty-seven girls acting SIS
clerks, stencgraphers, private secreta-
.ries. travelling companions and gov
iernesses averaged sIl7Io to the Column

i had known ali the Barnard stu
dents Tor four wears, but ] rarely heard

senior class and TO my surprise almost
every girl answered, Yes. have earned

.peared. had done the most marvellous
and interesting work and yet had never
thought It worth while talking OF 10
their classmates. Further investiga-
tion proved this TO be the rule through
out the college. Almost every girl from
senior 10 freshman ] found was doing
something in the way OF earning money,
snd yet the others were not aware OF It.
This secrecy find is not due to false
pride. but IS rather the result OF a
very prevalent ides that every college
girl ought 70 work ~ she gets a chance:
and so It excites no feeling OF exuita-
tion, nor is It considered a matter OF
gossip or publication.
Summer. OF course. offers the great
eat opportunity for students TO earn
money. particularly for Barnard girls,
because they live in New York City.
where work may always be had for the
asking. providing the applicant is COM
potent and really wants 70 work.
During the month OF May many Of
the girls IND employment with the Col
