The beautiful girls, she affirms, know

while the other kind, feeling that their
personal unattractiveness will bar them
from matrimony. sigh much over the
situation in private, but make up their
minds to, so to college as a means of
fitting themselves for earning their own
living. A college degree against happy
marriage stands no show at all with
most girls, so Miss Wellesley says, which
is natural and proper; but how many
can count on a happy marriage? How
rying seems to have been settled quite
differently, in spite of Miss Wellesley,
it having been proved that most of
them do marry, and that they make
full as good, if not better, wives than
girls not SO well educated.

PASSING OF THE STANDARD OIL
COMPANY,

The Standard Oil Company, OF New
Jersey, the corporation which has been
the storm center of antitrust agitation
throughout the country for years, yes
terday passed out of existence, so far as
its present form and functions are con-
cerned. This famous corporation bas
ceased officially to carry OH its opera
tions as the head Of vast organization,
whose activities extend into almost
every part o: the world. In obedience
to the decree OF dissolution of the SUI
preme Court, it is to relinquish its con.
troll OF the subsidiary concerns, and
yesterday was the date set for the end
ing of the old regime. With the end
Of the business day the company's
transfer books, containing the list OF
stockholders, closed and the stock OF
it's subsidiaries will be distributed among
the stockholders in the parent organi-
cation as on record at that time. The
work Of apportioning the cotnpany's
holdings OF the stock of more than 80
subsidiaries affected will occupy at
least three months. 1t Is expected, so
that the reimbursement will not be COM
pleted prior to December l.
Standard Oil stock was traded in New
York yesterday at about $625 per
share, transactions being restricted to
cash dealings on account of the ne
cessity Of affecting transfers.
An official of the company says that
the only element OF doubt as to the
general effect of reorganization upon
the present stockholders lay in the
ability of the constituent companies:
operating independently, to produce as
large total Of profits as has been pos
sib:e under the present form OF manage
ment. As to whether this can be done,
be said, only the future will disclose.
