doubtful If there is any place in the
world so close to a great city as Salt
Lake City is where so many hundreds
OF thousands of birds can be seen. Ever
and anon the older pelicans can be seen
bringing IN huge quantities Of fish
which they carry in their pouches, and
which have been caught in the Bear
river, which empties into the north
end of the lake, forty miles distant.
''The sight in the early morning of
on the waters of the lake catching the
small fish as they come through the

What a COLLEGE Girl Can Do.

The college girl who lives in a small
town has perhaps the greatest power
for influence Her education and eX-
perience raise her to a position which
commands the respect of those others
who have not had her advantages, and
this position she should use, not as an
excuse for egotism or self sutticiency,
but as a means Of accomplishing re-
forms in the life of the community.
Starting a village improvement society
is an excellent way of interesting peo-
pie in their surroundings and opens
to many an entirely new world-a
world which teaches that the useful is
not necessarily the ugly and that en-
vironment is the inspiration of action.
BeautifyinE the village or town is
bound To bring the citizens together
I'm a new and more intimate associa-
ton and does much to abolish those
dens of vice which disfgure not only
the aspect, but the moral life of a
town.
OF course this is but one phase Of
civic Improvement; there are many
others. In the factory town especially
there is a wide scope for the college
bred woman's activity. There is no
reason why the factory town should
be unsightly or why the employees Of
the factory should live I'm ugly. in
sanitary dwellings; no reason why the
women Of the town should not be
reused TO interest I'm their surround
iogs and, above all. to self respect.
The woman Of education owes it to
her less fortunate sister TO encourage
that feeling Of self respect which lies
dormant in the breasts Of so many fac
tory women. Give them the vision OF
something broader and higher than
Is comprehended in their own horizon
and they will try to conform their
lives TO II.

ance which his liberal and dear fu-
ture papa" had decided to confer upon
them, from whichE1 gather that papa
had, as Jim terms it, ''coughed up to
a considerable amount. Still, no one
could blame him for sacrificing some
thing to such an alliance. After all
though 1 wouldn't own it to the
Kays-papa used to serve in the store.
Well, the news didn't take long to
travel round Pawtucket, and the next
day the papers were filed with it,
and a whole host of congratulatory
visitors poured in. We were the SEN
sation of Pawtucket, and it was an
hour Of unalloyed triumph. Mamma
sat in state in her best satin dress, and
the count handed round tea and de-
lighted every one by his affability.
Many people who had patronized us
before and had only honored us by a
call once a year looked in to see ''the

the way of the world.
When every one except the Kay girls
had gone and we were feeling quite
tired out some one proposed a stroll in
the garden. The suggestion was eager
ly welcomed. We had to pass through
our little sitting room, where Miss
Croft was fixing an evening frock of
Laura's, for the count was going with

N that we had spent it to great
~ advantage. Besides the enjoy
ment we had derived from a trip to
France, we secured the acquaintance
ship-I might say the friendship-of
the count. This fact acted like match
applied to the touchwood of local es-
TEEN. But l must explain.
Every year about the end of July,
when Pawtucket begins to pail upon
us, we breach the subject of "going
away" to papa. He always makes the
same scene and says the same things
namely, business has been so bad and
he's not going away; we've got a gar
den and might almost imagine our
selves in the country; what's good
enough for him Is good enough for us.
Then, having let off steam, as my
brother Jim calls it, while we sit
around patiently, he quiets down, and
we make plans as to where we shall
go.
1t was arranged on this occasion that
we should forsake Lakewood and the
Adirondacks and our other favorite
haunts and go to Boulogne, in France.
The fact was that Mr. Kay had met
papa in the city and had Dragged so
much about taking his family to Eu-

the moment declared that he had the
same plan in view. The Rays live
