going TO remain the same. This old schoolmaster
was teaching the boys all the things that he had
learned himself and telling them to profit by ms
experience But my husband tells me that when this
old man got his experience you had no electric
buses in the streets and TO trains underground.
So it is quite impossible for the experience of
this old man 20 be any good to the boys who are
going to BE- the men OF the future, because the
conditions under which he got that experience are
all altered. We may be silly in Mars, but we are
not silly enough suppose that tomorrow will be
anything like to-day. We only teach the children
in schools what are called general principles.
The rest Of the time the children have to teach
themselves
don't think. though. that shall ever understand
your Earth schools. My husband must be right
grasp the question. The old schoomaster had about
two hundred boys at his school. They all live in a
large house with him. away from their fathers and
mothers and my husband said a place like this was
called a boarding school. and that there were a
great many schools OF the sort in this country. as
people usually sent their children away 10 be
brought up by somebody else
That. of course. is what 1 don't understand. be-
cause a day or two previously my husband
reading 10 out OF the paper some news to the
effect that in this part OF the Earth at least It
was necessary for children to be kept at home and
taught by their mothers, because home is a sacred
place, and it is right for children acquire love
of home. II home is so sacred why do you send
your children 10 boarding schools?
OF course, in Mars we don't have houses. as you
90 here. AS far as I can make it out you let a
mother bring up her son !n any way she pleases
and you say that the public not interfere with
her sacred right to him But If she brings him up
so that he ultimately develops into Ioafer or A
thief, or a lunatic the publc is called upon to
keep him either in a prison. or a hospital or an
asylum. II looks 10 me like wanting to eat the
cake and have it as well. my husband says in
his funny way.
IN Mars we shouldn't think of letting parents
prlhg their children up as they please The public
IN Mars has voice in the matter because II will
have to pay the bill If anything goes wrong. and
those who pay the piper have the right to call the
tune But on earth, it seems to me. people don't
bother TO think very much. Unless Of course If &c
as my husband says. that # is I who don't think

Wednesdays from until o'clock
No. 1922 Spring Garden street.

The first Wednesday arrived, and in charm
ing gown she sat expectant in her flower decked
drawing room.
But nobody came,
Three times the ring Of the bell stirred her,
but each time it turned out 10 be merely a re
porter in search Of a story Then Mrs Reybuin
arose and questioned 'Yhy?'-not privately, but
through the newspapers; and Philadelphia So
' ciety answered in a body.
I'VE can't call on Mrs Reyhurn, for she lives
north Of Market street"
It was true, and. in the eyes of Philadelphians,
an unanswerable argument.
North Of Market street lie wide, tree shaded
thoroughfares, roomy houses looking out over
quaint gardens, and many points of beauty and
interest But the social meridian lies Market
street, and not north Of it.
Society extends its bounds south among the
SIavs and negroes and cast into the very heart
of the Polish Jew section. But west it stops
as abruptly at the Schuylkir River the
north il stops short az Market street West

booed The 'unwrtten law is stronger than
money or brains beauty in the Quaker City.

delphlans" is that pertaining 10 the Assembly.

a successful stockbroking tip has been known
10 procure an invitation.
If a maiden whose ancestors did not dance
the minuet at the early assemblies contracts
marriage with a man who belongs" then she
also belongs" but even if her own lineage be
impeccabe, and though she may have gone To
Assembly cotillons year after year. if she is
married to a man outside the pale the Assem-
blys doors are forever barred to her. Usually
the week before the first Assembly is a time Of
exodus. when many women are prone to sud
den indspositiOns requiring a trip to Lakewood.
And when does attend Assembly ball
what is the reward? Private balls may abound
IN Indian dances, goldfish and butterflies,
but even the menu and the number of dances
at IT, Assembly are arranged by the laws OF
our great great grandfathers.
Especial public interest centres also III the
Charity Ban, which takes place on the third
Wednesday in January. Those invited put on
their smartest gowns and display themselves
IN the boxes at the Academy Of Music on that
night; but they do not dance except i'll the
opening quadrille. Here, again, social precedent
reigns. and there is much anxious fiuttering till
the list is announced. Then every one settles
down to satisfaction disappointment as the
case may be. The ball is always held in the
Academy Of Music which brings up the old
old law that the Academy is the only full
dress place in town. No matter what the
opera or who the stars, whatever the play or
how great the actors, any one may street

opera in Italian German at the Academy

custom, while all other events are from the
chin down.
Equally inviolate is the order that mo one

STANFORD BARS ALL
LIQUOR IN HOUSES
College Authorities to Revoke
Leases of Buildings in Which
Intoxicants Are Found

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 30.-
The most rigorous action yet taken by
the university authorities in their effort
to abolish the use Of liquors by the
students was announced today as a
resolution of the board of trustees,
stating that in the future the mere
presence of liquor upon premises leased
from the university will be q sufficient
cause for the revocation of the lease.
and that this rule will be enforced
against those leases already in exist
ence.
This action is a direct blow at the
fraternity houses, as in nearly every
case either the ground or the building,
or both are leased from the university
authorities. The enforcement of such
q rule as the one passed by the trus-
tees viii effectually put an end not
only 10 all beer busts" or other hilar-
ious parties. but will also taboo the
private and moderate use of liquor by
the residents Of the campus.
This is in line with the recent ruling
Of the student affairs committee which
made the possession of liquor a cause
for suspension, and also still further
carries out their idea of making the
whole membership OF an organization
responsible for the actions Of each in
dividual, even If the offense was COM
mitted without the knowledge of the
other members. AS the revocation of
q lease would force a fraternity TO
leave the campus, with the probable
resulting loss of its charter, viola
tion Of the dictum of the trustees would
end the existence Of the guilty organ
ization.
The last resolution of the trustees
goes still further in its application of
this rule and extends its provisions to
