Wanted-OId Textbooks.

The government wants gifts of old

eminent bureau Of education does
Government bureaus are so in the
habit of giving away documents in
stead of receiving them that re-
guest like this warrants attention.
The point is that the United States
Bureau of Education is endeavoring
to get together the finest possible
collection of textbooks in English,
French, German, Spanish, Italian.

centuries, and hopes that possibly

In the meantime, the bureau con-
tllurs to be generous in its Uppo',

world, containing about 10000 bound

Society to Greet Miss Cleveland.

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 1S.-Miss
Esther, the eldest daughter of Mrs
Grover Cleveland, will be presented
to society this afternoon at recep-
ton to be given by her mother. So
ciety from several New Jersey cities,
also New York and Buffalo, will be
represented at the reception. Miss
Cleveland is twenty-one years old
and is fond of outdoor sports, partic-
ularly tennis and automobiling.
A year ago it was rumored that
she was engaged to Randolph d.
West, son of Dean Andrew West, OF
Princeton university. The report
emanated from Tamworth, n. H.,
where the summer home of the Cleve-
land family is located. Mrs. Cleve E
land at that time refused either TO
confirm or deny the rumor. Mr..
West is one year older than Miss
Cleveland.
The engagement of Mrs. Cleveland
to Professor Preston of Wellesley
was recently announced.

1t is OF interest to note that women

call to the attention OF those cap

that here is demonstrative proof that
giving woman the ballot does not
necessarily mean that she Is going

going to hire It done, when It be-

this might meet the approval Of that
