DAD, HERE
To YOU

I'VE happened in a home the other
night, and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red,
What is home without mother?'
Across the room was another brief,
God bless our home.
Now, what's the matter with God
bless our dad? He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, and
wipes off the dew of the dawn with
his boots, while mother is sleeping.
He makes the weekly hand-out for th}
and baker, and his little pile is badly
worn before he has been home an
hour
"If there is a noise during the
night, dad is kicked in the back, and
made to go downstairs to find the
burglar and Kill him. Mother darns
the socks, but dad bought the socks
in the first place, and the needles
and the yarn afterward Mother doe

WHY WELLESLEY ISN'T FAIR
Brooklyn Girl Says Plain Girls

fB. Telegraph 20 The Tribune. /


Wellesley, Mass. Fec 26-Fair Welles-
ley is no longer fair. or at least that is the
opinion of Miss Imogene Kelly. q member
or the senior class. hailing from Brooklyn.
Miss Kelly unbushingly remarks that the
majority Of girls a Wellesley lack good
looks. She makes matters worse by charg
ing that plain looking girls, knowing their
chances of marrying are doubtful, enter a
college for an educa ton which will en-
doavor 70 help them keep the wolf from
the door during their natural life.
The unattractive girl in order to equal
ize her chances for a husband with the less
plain girl. must do so by getting an educa-
ton" says Miss Kelly. The girl who is
attractive and good looking need not Sc
cure a college training in order 10 fulh!

who come 10 college do so with an object
il view, namely, to educate themselves in
order better 10 make a living.
THE girls at Wellesley. as a rule, are NOT
beautiful. and for that reason these girls
must educate themselves for tho time when
they will go out into the world and be
obliged 10 support themselves. II they
were more attractive they would he mar

pressing need for a college education for
them.
When 7 say that Wellesley girls are not
beautiful this does not imply that all girls
here or at colleges generally are plain, for
there are many attractive college girls, but
