It is told that after Professor Ay- toun had made proposals Of marriage to Miss Emily Jane Wilson, daughter of Christopher North. he was, as a matter of course. referred to her ia ther. As the professor was uncom. monly diffldent, he said to her: Emily. my dear, you must speak to him for me. could not summon courage to speak to the professor on this subject"
 Papa is in the library said the lady.
 Then you had better go to him, :" said the professor. and l will wait sere."
 There being apparently no help for it, the lady proceeded to the library.
 "Papa's answer Is pinned to the back of my dress" said Miss Wilson. as she re-entered the room.

At the height of Washington's fame there wore those who carped and crit icfsed to some extent. warning him that being a celebrity was a precari ous thing and that he should be most careful, lest he do or say something that would turn the tide of popular favor against him. To these admoni tons Washington merely smiled.

However the latest leaning seems to be toward Greek plays, original or otherwise Undoubtedly the flowing costumes of the Grecian mode lend themselves to graceful posing and the current popularity of classical dancing has helped some. Among the women prominent in the produc tion of Greek spectacles.-an almost all the pro- lects for open-air theatrcals are in the hands of women.-is Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney of Gin cinnati and Washington.
