RAGS AND NIGER.

| thought you would like to hear
about my coon cat. Perhaps you
don't know what coon cat is. Ours
is yellow and his hair is about four
inches long all over his body. The
hair on his legs looks like little pant
aloons and the hair around his neck
is just like a muff. We have got an
old black cat, too, and we call him
Niger, and the coon cats name is
Rags. Perhaps you think Rags a
funny name, but when we first got
him he had been among the burdocks
and got his fur stuck full of them.
We had to cut big spots of his hair
off, so that is the. reason we called
him Rags. We have an old rocking
chair and an old Morris chair. The
rocking chair is Rags and the Nor
ris chair is Myers Each lies in his
own chair in the daytime, but at
night they both lie in one chair.

driving is one of her chief pleasures,
her father recently pres ented her
with a spirited horse, which unfor-

strhte its spiritedness one day when
itsI young mistress had taken friend
to idrive.
A fire, in the centre of the town
made the occasion additionally mop
perfume. The principal street of the
tdwn was full of people, and a num-
beer of motor cars stood side by side,
with barely enough room between
them for aNyehicle to pass That the
girl driver guided her runaway be-
tween two of these cars, without a
collision, and without running down

Iaer horsemanship.

vancement had been promised to her.
A man called for a number and
endeavored to engage Miss Monk in
conversation while she was getting it
for him. She replied courteously un-
til he began to make insulting re-
marks to her. Miss Monk resented
them at once. She told him he ought
to be ashamed of himself, and that
he had better go about his business.
To compel him to do so she cut him
off on the wire.
1t is asserted the girls chief did
not understand the situation and
heard only few of the words she
had uttered. Their import was mis-
construed. ~
Your language is a violation OF
the rules of the Office, and you will
be called upon for an explanation to-
morrow morning" it is asserted the
chief operator said. "You know it is
against the rules to hold conyersa-
ton in business hours.
Miss Monk endeavored to explain,
but her explanation was not accepted.
She was directed to go ito the front"
in the morning. Throughout the
long night on duty in the exchange
she brooded over the trouble When
morning finally came she went to
the front" and told Of the insults to
which she had been subjected.

philadelphia, Pa.-Insulting re-
marks addressed to girl employed
in the Bell telephone exchange here
and a reprimand from the chief
operator when she told the man who
had insulted her by wire what she
thought of him, caused her to commit
suicide by drinking carbolic acid. She
was Miss Elizabeth Monk, seventeen
years old, of No. 1922 Passayunk
avenue. When the chief operator
reprimanded Miss Monk the chief did
not understand the situation, and
thought the girl was flirting. Miss
Monk, when called upon afterward TO
explain her conduct, experienced no
difficulty in clearing herself Of the
imputation which had been cast upon
her. Notwithstanding that, she went
home, determined to die rather than
face her comrades in the exchange.
Before she drank the acid she wrote
a note. In it she called attention to
the fact that, she had been repri-
manded publicly by her chief for act
ing as any girl should do when in
suited by man.
II am too ashamed to go back and
face the other girls" she wrote.
Rather than have the stigma of be-
ing flirt cast upon me, shall kill
myself"
Miss Monk was almost dead when
she was discovered! In the hope OF
saving her life she was hurried to the
Methodist Episcopal Hospital, where
she died an hour afterward without
regaining consciousness. Before the
trouble arose in the exchange she had

were having a good time she re-
manned in her room studying. She
was graduated with high honors, and
when I was bidding her goodbye I
told her that she had "a task before
her.
"She thought / would say some
thing in regard to work, but, contrary
to her anticipations, l told her that
she would have to flirt good and hard
to make up for lost time, and she said
that she would.
'Of course, it makes a good deal of
difference who does the flirting,
where and with whom. The time,
the place and the boy and girl have
good deal to do with it. If all could
see the tired-out boys and girls that |
see, all would, know, admit that a
little bit of flirting now and then
would be a real vacation for them.
II have three lectures a week at
Radcliffe, and it is surprising how
many young girls are letting the very
best part of their lives go by without
having the least bit Of enjoyment.
There are many boys here at Harvard
who do not know what social life
means. They study from the time
they enter school until they graduate.
"Of course, there are some who do
nothing but fool away their time; I
do not mean to say that that is what
I uphold, for it is not. What I mean
is to mix things up bit, sprinkle a
little flirting into the studies. One
can have a little of both and still
come out all right at the end"

NOTED EDUCATOR URGES COLLEGE GIRLS TO FLIRT.
Adds Spice Study Professor Palmer Of Harvard ThinkSGeS Proper
knowledge Of Social LeWarRS Radcliffe GrISTOO Much Time
Given Up to Books Must Be Made Up by Hard inq AIePWaPd

Boston, Mass - Professor George
Herbert Palmer, of Harvard, sixty
seven years old, twice we'd and re-
ported to be contemplating a third
venture in matrimony, his next bride
to be a Wellesley professor, has come
forward with the statement that a lit
tie flirting, properly conducted, of
course, is not only advisable, but
lege boy and girl.
Flirting is the surest road toward
the proper knowledge of social life, :"
says the professor, who has the dis
tinction OF being the oldest member
of the Harvard faculty, and whose
second wife, Alice Freeman Palmer,
was president of Wellesley College
from 1881 to 1887.
Il think the girls of Radcliffe and
the boys of Harvard devote too much
of their time to study. They actually
bury themselves in their books, and
the result is that when they get
through college they don't know a
thing about social life.
They should mingle little frivol-
ity with their studies - in other
words, they should flirt little. Were
to advise the boys of Harvard or
the girls of Radcliffe, | would tell
them to go around and see things
more than they do.
Il am always reminded of girl
graduate of Radcliffe, who studied so
hard that she got the reputation of
being over-studious. She never went
anywhere. While the other girls

would reply, "No, it's mine" Then
he turned the tables and began claim

which she, in turn, denied Finally
he pointed to aunty's best man, who
hadn't proposed yet. ''This is my

A little flirting now and then is good

was asked her opinion of this advice
from the Oldest member of the Har-

GAY SWISS CUSTOM.
Festive Day Dates Back to the
Romans.


March Is a day of joyful festivity
among the school children in most
of the Engadine communes. At Al
o'clock in the morning a party Of
schoogboys march through the village
changing cowbells, big and little, with
all their might, to proclaim the dawn
OF boisterous day to their slumber-
Ing schoolmates still abed.
AS the day grows bright the boys
gather, each one with huge bell
hung round his neck, on the village
square, where they form in ranks
according to their size When the!
preparations, always conducted amid
great excitement and Juvenile jubila-
ton, have been completed, the pro-
cession starts on tour through the
streets to the accompaniment of furi-
Gus bell ringing and noisy yodelling.
One Of the eldest of the demonstra-
tors, with@ milk pail on his shoulder,
in the costume OF dairyman, with
yellow brooches, white stockings, low
shoes, finally embroidered braces over
shirt of spotless white, turned up
sleeves displaying gbrawny arm, the
dairyman's hat perchsd jauntfly on
the back of his head, marches proud
ly at the head of the herd. At the
end of the procession is another big
boy with a big staff in his hand, like
