OF the relay races, the one and two
mile events for the intercollegiate

lures. IL both the fight will be inter-
sectional in character. In the one-mile

they will win the two-mile event, and
If they do they will take eight gold

Last night this remarkable little

of the wrestler, who demonstrated her
skill against a much heavier opponent.
The fearlessness of Mfss Livingston

skill and the science of the game of
wrestling, and no woman is barred
from the mat when she appears.
Miss O'Hara is the only in

Ladies must have something to talk
about. They talk when they get out of

Well. she admits that women like to
talk. If they don't talk about their
looks and dress they are telling how
Alice or Jennie looked at the game.
Mister Stallings knows this. That
why he has made every Friday Ladies'
Day. Give the ladies something for
nothing and you arc a Hobson. Mark
down a hot IS cents from the regular
price and you get a rush.
Give the ladies a free pass to a base
ball game and you get what? Wen,
you were there yesterday and you saw
the turnout. / saw women there who
didn't look ten times at the players
These were munching candies, peanuts
or chewing gum and nudging each
other telling them, There's Miss So

that Jimmy Welsh? l thought so. Did
you hear about his quarrel with the
Lynch family. No, he isn't going with
Kittie any more. Oh, look over there!
That fellow with the white Stetson hat
is Joe Farrell. He is a detective. That
other man with the natty hat Is Paddy
Ryan. The crooks are afraid of him.
Isn't he a nice fellow? You know hc
would make a good catch for a young
girl. oh, mercy. he isn't married, and
he has money"
Now, Boss, don't think [ am stretch
ing this any. That's how half of the
women passed away their time at the
game yesterday. But Stallings don't
care a rap whether they watch the
game or not. He knows women talk,
and he knows they'll talk baseball from
now on. When you have the women

Bert Keyes had all the best Of the six
round fight here last nigh with Kid
Goodman, of Boston. Reyes forced the
fighting all the way. but Goodman
stood up to him, and they would slam
at each other for all they were worth.
On several occasions Reyes made
Goodman break ground, landing hard
right swings to the jaw. Reyes re-
peatedly jabbed Goodman in the face
with hard lefts. cnd these blows took
some of the steam out of the Boston
scrapper. Reyes had the best of the
second, fourth, fifth and last rounds.
The first and third were about even.
Goodman was not in much distress at
any time, however.

Concerning Women.

Miss Ethel Roosevelt is to have her
first experience as bridesmaid on June
10 at the wedding of her friend, Miss
Farr, to Fletcher Harper Sibiey, in
West Orange, N. j. Miss Ethel is now
enjoying all the privileges of Il young
woman fairly launched in society.
Miss Helen Gould is anxious to get
larger amount of money than An
drew Carnegie has promised her Tar
rytown school conditionally upon the
raising of like amount and has been
assisting other ladies in an entertain
ment for that purpose. She gave her
dolls to be exhibited and they attracted
much attention. Not only the dolls
she had as child, but dolls she has
collected from every part of the world,
were shown.
The new style of dress is said to be
more Greek than directoire and was
originally copied on the draped figur-
ines of Tanagra. so we'll known to all
lovers of art. There are only two gar
ments worn in this style, the close-fit-
ting jersey attached to an underskirt
and over this the robe. There is no
corset, the elastic jersey and bonned
necessary. 1t will be seen that only
women with perfect figures can wear
such gowns and they are not expected
to be worn on the street, but will no
doubt be in demand for the privacy of
home. 1t may be the first step in the
dress reform that is so much talked of
and, at any rate, it simplifies the prob
lem.
A German doctor lays it down as a
well-established fact based on close OBJ
servation, that women who do not mar

achieve matrimonial success. Why wo-
| men of this particular age should make
more successful marriages than those
who fall victims to loves young dream
is fairly obvious When woman mar
ries between 30 and 40 she either does
SO for companionship, choosing her
mate accordingly, or from need, in
which case she also chooses with a GER
tain amount of care. She has no wild
dreams of unalloyed bliss.

Trees for Various Soils.

The amount of money wasted and
the disappointment felt owing to trees
doing badly when planted on soils un-
suited to them is very great, and a
little more care in selection of trees Cor
various purposes and soils would be a
good thing generally. 1t is fairly well
''nown and universally acknowledged
"a: h., tree men that the sturdy oaks
hickories and walnuts among deciduous
trees delight in clay soil and even
where this is strongly impergnated
with lime will thrive well. The
spruces of the harder kinds, hemlocKs
many pines and arbor-vitaes also do
well in such positions. while beeches,
chestnuts, and rhododendrons dislike
clay or lime, thriving best in sandy or
peaty soils. The red oaks, naples,
birches and others like a sandy SOIL
well drained, while where the drainage
is not quite So good but where there is
not actually swampy conditions, lines,
passwords and ash trees thrive. 1t is
well to take notice when in the woods
or in the country what trees thrive
best in certain positions and soils, as
many useful lessons in planting may
be cleaned thereby.

Do Your Best.

Girls and women who are starting
out on a business, professional or in
dustrial career. each and every one of
them would do well to embroider a
motto in large letters upon their inner
consciousness, says the New Idea
Woman's Magazine for August. The
words to be deliberately emblazcned
where none else may see. are these:
whatever comes to you to be done,
do it with the best within you
There comes a time to all when we
have to perform big and little tasks
that are distasteful to us.
The girl who has a college or even a
High school education in starting out
upon a business life will frequently be
called upon to do things that she may
consider beneath her dignity. But
that is no excuse for not doing them
well. The stenogra pher often may be
asked to do the errands of the Office
boy; the teacher may find that she
will have to sweep the schoolroom
floor-a duty that the janitor has care
lessly failed to do: or the girl in the Ii
brary may have to carry a large arm
full of books, d work which obviously
belongs to the porter. None of these
duties were included in the bargain
when the girl or woman sought en-
ployment. For this reason the per-
Torrance Of the hated task is done
with a careless hand and no interested
thought. But whenever a task comes
to your hand to be done. no matter
what it is, do it with the best that is
in you, for every task has it's useful
lesson
1t is just as honorable to wash dish
es well as to run bank successfully,
The girl who can paint a beautiful pic
ture should be as proud of her ability
to dust room thoroughly as to por-
tray sunset in brilliant colors. The
prophets of the Bible told us to do all
things to the glory of God. 1t does not
matter whether disher are to be
washed, floors to he scrubbed, dinner
cooked, a poem written, or Il marble
chiSeled. One act of service is as
good as another All depends on its
performance.

A Summer ParIor,

A girl who looks forward to the
whole summer in the city, has forti-
fed herself by making what she calls
her Summer parlor," and it is a
question as to whether she or her
masculine friends get the greatest en-
joyment out Of it. Like most other
city jewellers, this girl has no garden
worthy Of the name, but she has a
balcony porch as have many others.
Recently she sent for the carpenter,
who was commissioned to build a box,
having bottom and sides, but no
top and to be made a foot wide, a
foot deep and SO arranged that it
would fit in allaround the porch
against the railing, that is, only on
three sides. This was then given a
coat of Gull, green paint, the porch
floor and railing being likewise fresh
ened. y gardener filed the long, mar
row box with earth, and the fOunda-
ton of the Summer parlOr had been
laid. Seeds of quick-growing vines
were then planted, and geraniums and
other bright, hardy flowers put in. A
mating rug in lovely green tones. was
laid on the floor, a hammock in colors
to match swung in one corner. several
cool-looking wicker chairs, and low,
square table, completed the furnish
ings Some japanese lanterns were
strung up for use at night, and the
parlor was ready for house warm
ing.
Several days later, just a few choice
friends received envelopes in which
were slips of birch bark, with spray
of pressed clovers in one corner.
Scrawled on the bark were words to
the effect that the receiver of this card
was invited to the "house-cooling" of
the Summer parlor of Miss So-and-So.
The evening Of the affair came. and
the arriving guests were shown to the
porch. which was gay with hugh
uuncneS OF wild flowers and japanese
lanterns Every one made themselves
as cool as possible, collars, coats, etc,
being prohibited. Later lemonade, ice
cream and all manner Of cooling re-
freshments were served, and the
friends notified that from that time
on, the Summer parlor would be glad
to welcome them as often as they
pleased to come. Needless to say, the
mistress of the parlor is rarely with
out masculine visitors, even when
other people could not coax them to
come.
