We Feel Like Apologizing.

Last week we were extraordinarily
late getting out the Expositor. We
feel like apologizing to our readers 1--WE
didn't even have the energy to write an
apology last week. and we trust that
we will not be so late again, but you
don't know and never can tell what
may happen, and so we will not pro-
mise.
The first of last week we started out
with a lot of job work intending to
rush things along that we might be
able to accept that invitation we had
to the Banquet Friday evening. We'd
nesday morning we got up with asmall-
sized grumbling toothache, which in.
creased as the hours went by until
night we had bowling, raging, tor
menting pain in our mouth and in our
mind little satisfaction over the days
work. Moreover our better half was
in the burned T.. M. wreck and we
couldn't find out for sure whether she
was alive or dead until near midnight.
We were pretty near wreck ourselves
by morning and the Office saw not our
beloved form all day Thursday. Even
on Friday we loathed ourself for the
predominance of flesh which protruded
from our right cheek but the dentist
must be visited so we plucked up
courage and the lance descended, and
after little we efound ourself and dis
covered that we were still living and
thinking it were better late than never,
we went to work cheerfully making up
the forms for our paper on Friday
afternoon when another jar came. The
engine refused, utterly refused to
bulge. We argued with the thing un-
til nearly midnight but twas no use
and Saturday morning we sadly called
in the services of Porter Harris, whose
maneuverings brought results in two
hours work and we were able to see
our papers off the press about noon.
We hope such strenuous week passes
not our way again.

Millinery Openings.

A look through Yale's fine millinery
parlors, three in number, this week re-
veals the fact that the woman who
cannot find something to suit her GER
tainly will be hard one to please.
The shapes, the styles, and the sizes of
the hats are so many and so various,
with all colOrs being worn that it will
be no trouble at all to frame any sort
of face.
The new Milan straws are very effec.
tive and the fancy braids are much in
evidence.
Mushroom shapes, bowl.shaped tur.
bans, toques and bonnets are all the
thing and different shades of one color
are often seen for trimmings. Old rose,
wisteria, browns and navy blues are
largely the colors used, while black is
always in style. Flowers are used with
lavish hand, both small ones and the
biggest kind of roses, hydrangeas and
Others. Feather novelties are seen and
also wings.
Each one of our milliners, Mrs. Eva
j. Black, Miss Pearce and Miss Ross
has an abundant and beautiful line of
Easter millinery and if you haven't
called yet don't delay as the prettiest
hats are going fast.

GIRL GOOD LAWYER
PRETTY YOUNG FRENCH WOMAN
WINS IMPORTANT CASE.
Mile. MlropoIsty Is only p Years oIc
believes In Marriage, But
Doesn't Want II to Inter
fere with Career.

Paris.-The youngest woman lawyer
in the world has just been defending q
woman accused Of trying to kill her
self and her baby by inhaling the
fumes OF a charcoal stove. Mile.
Helene Miropolsky is only 21 and was
sworn in as a lawyer before the court
Of appeals in this city last October.
Her appearance as counsel for the de-
Tense in a criminal trial attracted a
large number Of old lawyers to the
courtroom, though the case itself was
nothing out of the ordinary. Her
client had been abandoned by the IA
ther OF her child; finding herself on
the verge Of starvation she had tried
to end her miseries. The baby had
died, but she had been saved.
"Portia come to life!" cried an old
jurist as he watched the beautiful girl
and listened to the eloqueace OF her
soft voice pleading for mercy for the
unfortunate sister on whom inexorable
justice had laid her heavy hand. And
SO moving was her plea that the jury
acquitted her client.
Mile. Mlropolsky was born In Paris
OF parents who were Poles by birth.
Both father and pother are doctors Of
medicine, 80 Il Is only fair to say that
some Of the young womaD's talent is
inherited. She has nothing about her
that suggests the new Woman
Handsome, graceful, elegant in cos
tune, she looks like a young woman
OF the fashionable world-until she
dons her gown and cap; then indeed
she seems what the old lawyer called
her-"Portia come to lifs."
Before she was IL she had taken
her degree Of B. A., and it should be
