1t is a woman brave beyond her years

course OF study is planned 20 occupy

although she NAV attain the degree Of
Phi D. In her eighty-eighth year This
is another Illustration OF the democracy
of learning. II is no monopoly OF youth,
nor yet Of austere middle age. The fric-
ton OF practical life. outside the college
campus, may whet the mental appetite
for the library. The counting-room may
impart gusto for books other than
ledgers. and Il may encourage acquaint-
anco with figures or speech, as well as Of
accounts, Neither occupation nor years
should bar entrance 60 the road to learn
Ing. Perhaps neither is so serious an
obstacle as may be the possession OF
great wealth, although it should never be
forgotten that opuIence opens the way
70 the performance Of great duties TO self
and to others. even when It places ajar
the inviting gate TO the trivialitles OF
mere pleasure.
The example OF this venerable disciple
OF learning may stir ambition in others
advanced in years. Many are the pro-
fessional men. jaded with the contests
and cares Of the practical world. who
would gladly treat whole year as a
vacation IN browsing amid the recluse al
coves Of Libraries. There he VIII revive
forgotten lessons. as well as explore new
and welcoming fields. If every man who
has won a reasonable degree Of leisure
at forty should wish TO go back TO
school. the college campus and lecture
room would surely be crowded. But, OF
course. such retrospect embraces the
familiar view that all Of life is a school
and all Of its combat Is an education, TO
whose long pilgrimage the hall Of aca-
demic learning is but a vestibuIe.

BEAUTY IS RELIGION.
French Capital Retains Faith In
Ideal OF Feminine AIIurement.


Ideal OF Feminine AIIurement.
From the PittsburT Ga1ette-Times.
Femininity is not a cult In any city ex-
cept Paris. That is the secret Of the
Partisan supremacy In fashions. The cult
Of feminiuity has never been cultivated
so absolutely as Il has been cultivated
IN Paris Woman is the religion Of Paris.
The Parisians worship nothing but
woman. They worship her as a sub
sutute for every other form Of romance.
She represents for them the only remain
ing escape from reality. Paris is the city
Of cynics IL Is the metropolis of disiilu-
sion. II has lost faith In every ideal eX-
cept the ideal OF feminine allurement. il
has no illusions except the illusion OF
beauty. II clings 10 that last illusion with
pathetic obstinacy, and in orde- to keep
IL up # demands an everlastIll refine
ment OF refinement. The natural crudity
OF woman must be yelled with mystery,
and the whole art Of fashion is the
creation Of feminine mystery. Clothes
are used not as an envelope, but as an
evasion. TO be dOWdy is 90 be found
out. Paris Is the severest critic OF femi-
nine outline and poise and idiosyncrasy,
No sensitive woman can walk down the
Rue de In Paix without feeling anxious
about the hang of her skirt tho angle
Of her hat, the harmony OF her color
scheme, the NJ Of her gloves. the shape
of her shoes, the pr0prioty OF her hair
and the grace Of her gait Paris is the
only city which makes woman feaI
daylight.
IL IS the fierce glare Of criticism which
makes Paris the dictator OF the worlds

Paris she is an CyesOTe- London starez
at an elegant woman; Paris stares at a
dOwdy woman In London woman IS
either pretty or plain, In Paris even the
plain woman Is pretty. The Parisienne
as a rule Is not beautiful. and perhaps
that is why the cult OF elegance IS SO

woman gives herself up as "a bad Job

AN AMERICAN MATADoR.
College Bred Man Who Met His Fnte
I'm Mexican Bull Ring.

From the Rochester Democrt
The fate OF Harper T. Lee. the only
native Of the United States who has
achieved fame as a professional mat
ador, is a curious ending for a man
who was educated in an American uni
versity and took a post graduate course
IN civil engineering. After becoming the
idol Of Mexican patrons OF bull lighting,
and receiving the highest honors IN the
ring, he made a misstep in a fight at San
Luis Potasi, Cd was fatally gored by
the beast he had essayed to Kill.
The critics OF athletic training In col
lege and university viii doubtless hasten
to utilize the fate Of the American bull
tighter as a horrible example and pOinI
out the danger involved IN continuing
the strenuous sports Of the campus IN
post-university life. Even those who re-
gard college athletics most highly Will
regret that Lee became so enamored OF
sport as 10 make It a profession
The only redeeming feature IN Lees
case was his success, AZ winning Of
honors and emoluments I'm a Mexican
bull ring can be regarded as success.
Sad as Is his fate Il is difficult 20 In
dulge in genuine sympathy other than
for his surviving family. Ii is true that
he failed as an engineer and railway
builder but other avenues Of usefulness
were open % him. II he was unable 10
