By RUTH CAMERON

would be eaten up by fares.
I will tell you what 1 learned at
Yellowstone Park two years ago this
summer. The help that the govern
ment hires is nearly all college help.
The matron of one of the camps was
a teacher from a Pennsylvania col
lege, and she brought two of the COL
lege girls with her They made the
beds and took care of the tents-were
there at IL and had the rest of the
day to go over the interesting parts
of the camp. They were allowed to
transfer from QUE camp to another.
In this way they visited all the points
of interest. The lady help is paid from
$50 a month and board up. For particu-
lars write Wylie Camp. Gardner, yell
lowstone Park
Mothers Helper" is another position
which a reader thinks college girls
might fill during the summer to their
own and other peoples profit.
1T isn't easy for many of us moth
ers to get good servants-in fact, 1t
isn't always easy to get any. Now,
l believe that girl who would be
willing to do anything that came to
hand q will except the weekly wash
ing and ironing. That would be ask
ing too much). and whose pride would
not prevent her from waiting on table
when necessary, etc. will have nc
trouble in finding a good home for the
summer. and will be able to go back to
her studies much improved in health
and pocketbook.
of course, there are many college
girls whose pride would not let them
do this but they make me think of the
small boy who climbs a tree and then
! calmly yells, help. help"

In answer to my appeal for sugges-
tions a. to ways in which a college girl
vacation and yet not undermine her
health, several interesting ideas have
been sent in.
One occupation suggested is that
of companion to blind people. BY ap-
plying at institutions for the blind, po-
sitions of this sort may sometimes be
obtained.
Another possibility is that the col
lege girl might get an opportunity to
care for and live in a house where
people are away for the summer. The
subscribers who sent in this suggestion
says she knows a mother and daughter
who always find this work TO do
through their church affiliations.
Another woman says: Just this
morning 1 received a communication
from a large publishing house to act
as their travelling agent at SIS a week
and expenses, but as I am a mother
and a housewife. my duties are at
home Now it seemed to me that TO
an energetic college girl this travel
would give the needed rest, and also be
remunerative. 1 shall probably take
up the work at home on a smaller
scale. as 1t is a work my heart is in,
but / would be glad to put some one
in the way of obtaining this place as
1 suppose there are many just such
chances"
For a college girl who does not
have to earn much money. but who
cannot exactly afford to lay out money
in going away for the vacation
the following suggestion might he of
use. / say for girl who does not
need to earn much money" because

AN INDIRECT EXPRESSION OF CON
FIDENCE.

Some state newspapers have expressed
surprise that there should be as many
as seventy applications for licenses tc
sell liquor in Montpelier during the com
ing year; but the number ought to be
discounted by stating that many of the
applicants have entered double petitions
either for first class or second class H.
censes. That accounts for q consider
able percentage of the total But even
allowing that the remainder makes q
large application list for small city,
the situation looks rather favorable in
asmuch as it betokens that the granting
of licenses this year win be ION the
level" as one contemporary asserts. If
the seekers after licenses thought the
deal was all fixed beforehand they would
not go to the considerable trouble and
large expense connected with applying
for licenses. Therefore, the large num-
Der Of applications indicates faith in
the good purposes OF the license com
missioners of Montpelier and the conf
dence that the administration of the
year of license will be carried out with
honest intentions at least Messrs.
Boutwell,, Staples and Goodenough, who

HOBBLE. SKIRT
CUTS SWATH IN
OLD IRELAND

Mrs. Hugh Fitzsimmons of this city,
who is now visiting the land of her
birth in County Meath, Ireland, has
sent her friends several copies of the
Drogheda Independent, which furnish
es interesting reading especially as
showing the working Of the L. G.. B.
or Local Government Board, a town
council of local home rule slipped in
by the Conservatives to head off Ma
tional Home Rule, which has worked
two important results neither of which
is satisfactory to the conservatives.
One is that 1T works well and shows
great capability in the Irish for gov
eminent; the other is that instead of
satiating the home rule appetite it
has only intensified it. The L. G. B.
seems to deal with all sanitary mat
tiers, regulation of wells, stables, at
tending to diptheria cases and remov-
ing the causes. It also deals with mat
tiers of dairying as one report shows
a discussion on what caused COWS to
lose in milk in a certain week.

programme to furnish afternoon and
evening entertainment such as has
never been offered on an inland lake
west of Wisconsin. The evnt of wa
ter sport in the surf of the famous
Devils Lake, will mean a vast improve
ment along the beach, which on &C.
count of the fact that the water has re-
ceded to some extent, offers a sand
water front such as can not be sur
passed. The supporters of Chautau-
qua, interested particularly in water
sport, were greatly encouraged on &C.
count of the fact while other bodies
OF water were receding during the
past summer the condition here is re-
versed. After continually lowering for
twenty years, the water surface is
now three feet higher than last
spring.
The continued rise in the water level
has in a measure silenced the agita
ton of changing the course of the
Mouse river, diverting it to Devils
Lake, in order to perpetuate the in
land sea. 1t is apparent that nature
has cared for that, avoiding the ne
cessity Of constructing canal from
the western river.
