Woman and the College.

Despite the many beautiful and
prosperous colleges for women all
over this country, 1t is still a question
In many parental minds whether or
not a college education is a woman's
best preparation for life. There is a
fairly prevalent idea that college
women too often develop the intellect
at the expense of the ~sympathies,
that they set mental standards which
are higher than their husbands have
leisure to reach, or, worse, that,
wanting better bread than can be
n1ade out Of wheats they refrain from
marriage altogether. The higher ed
ueation too often leadsthem to choose
a life Of self-exploitation, and to pur-
sue callings which ultimately may,
and very likely will, play them false,
and leave them lonely and embittered
in a world where the fullest happi-
ness is to be found in benehcent hui
man relations.
While all this is, on the face OF It,
possible, there Is a great deal to be
said On the other side. y is true thai

Mime. Marchesi.

In my opinion, the greatest living
teacher Of singing Is Nine. Mathilde
Marchesi, Of Paris. I think her a
marvel of scientific method, and when
The goes from US we shall have lost a
personality impossible to replace.
The spirit Of her method-derived in
turn from old Manuel Garcia, and di-
rectly through him from the long line
Of Italian masters-may be crudely
summarized as follows: Change to
the middle notes on F. Begin the
headnotes or F sharp, and once on
the headnotes, always sings pianissi-
no." While with her I took only
three short lessons every week, but I
worked eight hours a day studying
theory, tradition and technic-the old
Italian technic that tells a pupil how
to "flar Ill tuono"-to spin a tone as
subtly and d%elicately as a spider spins

WHY MISS MURIEL CRIED.

Hiss Muriel Million was sitting alone,
With a very disconsolate air;
Her fluffy blue tea gown was fastened
And frowsy and rumpled her hair.
sOh, what is the matter?" I said in alarm,

But she buried her face in her kerchief
And she e. cried, and she cried, and she
cried.
sCome out for a spin in the automobile,
The motor boat waits at the pier,
Or let's take a drive in the sunshiny park
Or a canter on horseback, my dear"

tones
As l tenderly knelt at her side,
But refusing all comfort she pushed me
While she cried, and she cried, and she

Forced to Wear False Hair.

Even though a woman's own hair
Is heavy and beautiful, the milliners
are in league with the hairdressers
to force her to wear the store kind.
The latest creation in headgear from
Paris, called the haystack hat, re-
quires the hair to be dressed high. A
thick pad must be pinned on the
crown Of the head and over that. the
hair must be rolled. Then the hair is
arranged in little curls. On this mass
the hat is poised and fastened with
two long pins. The hair then is loos-
ened in front and pinned up to the
brim Of the hat "This new wrinkle"
a woman says, may require a girl
from the milliner's shop as maid, to
place the hat properly and drive in
the hatpins where they will do the
most good."-New York Press.

a thorough education disclpllnes the
emotions. If It discipline them away
altogether it does an irremed1able IN
Jury. If, however, it merely controls
the sentimentality of youth by train
ing Judgment, it is an effective force
for good. Life will bring out the
sympathies of those who have them
sooner or later, and to be delivered
from the sentimental ebullitlons OF
girlhood Is not so appalling a matter
after all.
There seems to be no doubt that
the chief weakness of the feminine
mind, as differentiated from the a
culine, is to see life personally. A
woman more than a man, Is encum-
bered by herself and hedged by l1mi-
tations. She cannot, by the inherent
nature of things, take so many risks
or lead so experimental a life as a
man, and her education is, therefore,
a matter not Of less but of greater
moment. She must have thorough
going knowledge, because, less than
a man, can she afford a wrong reac-
ton. Her interests must>be widened,
even more carefully than a mans, be-
cause she is less likely to be broad
ened by life.
College if it does nothing else
should lay the foundation for more
| abstract interests and Intelligent
| judgments. # it hardens the sympa-
| thies it cannot be because 1t Is too
high or too thorough, but because 1t
is too slight and too superficial. Any
| education that puffs a person up
| about his own attainments is a poor
| education. : Any education that al
lows a person to think he can really
| gain by another's loss, or aggrandize
himself by another's fall, or in any
way separate his interests from the
general interests of the race, is a SUI
perficial and inadequate education,
whether it be gotten at a finishing
| school or at a college. If colleges
turn out women of defective sympa-
thies and selfish instincts it is not
their pursuit of learning that effects
this. Intellectual training in and for
itself cannot be other than beneficial.
The freedom, the Independence, the
fact of being thrown upon her own
resources at a critical age should all
prepare a girl for wise government
of her own. household and intelligent
civic helpfulness.
1t is difficult to believe that higher
education units a woman for house
hold management Of motherhood
since to these two functions the most
highly trained faculties are necessary
especially in+hese days when socia
conditions are changing rapidly, ane
when the domestic problem Is in {
state of uncomfortable upheaval. 1
is not less intelligence and training
but more and wiser, that is needed tt
meet the new conditions.
1t is, therefore, a cause for rejoic
.>g rather than doubt, that the WON
ems colleges of this country are to b.
multiplied and more heavily endowed

The Worst Climates

A harsh, raw wind was blowing.
Now and then a furry Of Icy rain fell.
The streets were ankle-deep in slush.
Speaking Of rank climates" said
a globe-trotter, as he laid on a fresh
log, II have experienced the three
worst.
"Of these three unspeakable cli-
mates I give the palm to the Straits
of Magellan. There it rains, on an
average, $50 days in the year. The
wind blows a hurricane from Janu-
airy to December. The thermometer
never rises much above the freezing
point. A year round Of raw, bitter
days of rain and snow.
"Next comes Sierra Leone, on the
African west coast. That low-lying,
marshy region has an average tenn
perature of eighty-one degrees, and
the annual rainfall is 189 inches
enormous. There are, too, the
smokes These. are mists, smelling
like oyster mud, that rise continually
from the marshes, giving marsh fever
to nine. out OF ten of the white men
that breathe them. A year round of
hot and sticky days, with vile-smell-
ing clouds of, mist am whirrins
clouds of mosquitoes. J..
Last come the, high tableIands OF

American Women in Hotels.

IN Harper's Bazaar the manners of

Says the Boston Transcript: eft is
safe to presume that as many of the
problems that have barred the way
to mans fight Ire solved and
the remainder are being eagerly at
