Little German Teacher Cared Moth
ing for Personal Adjournment.
In the recent admirable biography
Of Prof Carla Wenckebach OF Weles-
ley, her close friend and successor,
Margarethe Muller, has introduced to
the general public a figure long hon
ored for scholarship, loved for k1ndll-
ness and smiled at for quaint and de-
liehtful oddities Of character and as
pect within the bounds of the college
Beautiful"
Little Bismarck" the girls some
times nicknamed the genial but mas
terful German professor, with her
short hair and serviceable clothes of
unconsciously mannish effect. Man
nish by intention she never was, but
she had, from her tomboy childhood,
a curious Impotence of friperies and
lack of personal vanity. She was a
girl of fifteen when she wrote home
casually from school:
"By the way, I wear my hair short
now; got rid of braids, hairpins and
appendages six months ago; feel very
free and light without them. My
friends vail about the loss of my
beautiful thick hair but what is the
use of beauty if it causes continual
annCyance?"s
Some years later. in New York. she
received a comically apt reply to this
youthfuIly philosophic query. She
had applied to an agent to secure her
position as governess, and was
promptly assured that If she wished
a recommendation she must wear
more stylish clothes and change her
way of doing her hair.
The essential consideration is,
the agent said, not what's in your
head, but what's on it.. So l went to
little Partisan, who knew what the
matter was even before l explained.
If YOU don't want to take the trouble
to dress your hair every day. she said,
why don't you wear a false front?
I was just about to shout deter
mined Never! when she dextrously
put one of those curly things on my
head. And really-the little curls
framed my face quite pleasingly, and
looked exactly as if they had grown
on my own scalp. Now If fortune
comes my way, you will know what
has attracted the tickle thing"
Quite certainly, after fortune was
attracted, the commercially inspired
curls disappeared forever. All her
girls and her friends remember well
what one of them describes as that
wonderful square head of hers, with
its crown of short blonde hair, which
bristled up over her fine brow like
tho crest of an alert bird"
For details of costume or couture
she never learned to care. although on

A philosopher Of the open road pre-
diets that before the end of the Tween
tieth century a legless race of men
will squat upon motor car cushions and
the hard seats of aeroplanes like the
pathetic figures that appeal to us on
street corners with musical boxes and
contribution baskets. Every human
organ shrivels and finally disappears
in default of healthy exercise to keep
it nourished and expanded. Only a
tiny bone at the end of the spine re-
minds us by occasional friction upon
hard seat of the gratefully waving tail
by which our ancestors swung in the
ante-g glacial treetops. From the same
period of primitive pastoral existence
some of us retain the wider space be-
tween the first and second toe which
we boastfully ascribe to the post of
the classic sandal instead of the bough
our ancestor grasped with prehenSile
feet The classic example of useless
survival Of an ancient additional d.
geStive pouch was the human appen-
dix, until we discovered for it the high
er function of keeping the wolf from
the door of an ancient and honorable
profession. Why should not the hui
man legs follow tail and second stom-
ach into the limbo of inutility with
the amazing multiplication of vehicles

and poor, from street car to automo-

Wan freaks, like takers of snuff and

blessed children keep up the good old
fashion of leg exercise, though each
successive generation abandons it at
an earlier age Even the bicycle, which
once helped to keep the human leg
round and firm and well-blooded with
its novel exercise, has been corrupted
by a smelly gasoline addition. With

1t has frequently been commented
upon that young women of to-day are
larger than their mothers and grand
mothers. 1t is interesting to note that
the gain in physique has its industrial
advantages. The telephone companies
now require that the girls they engage
for central station work shall not be
less than five feet tall, and large ones
are preferred. The tall girl can reach
more plugs.
