The time seems to be rapidly passing
when the girls of well-to-do families
are content to devote themselves e1-
cIusively to society. With the hlghef
education comes the desire to make
use of it. So many of the girls have
taken up occupations outside OF fancy
work, golf and bridge, and are teach
ing, doing settlement work, nursing,
taxing up music as career, ana
heading domestic science schools, that
the butterfly existence is fast hutter-
in6 out of our fashionable circles
Another girl to take up the work OF
teaching is Miss Guenn GODDARD, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. GODDARD.
She will leave in September for Ash
ton, Illinois, and will take a position
in the High Sschool as instructor IN
Latin, music, and history. Miss GODDARD
was graduated from Vassar- college IN
the class of 1911, and spent the fol-
lowing summer in Europe.

TWENTY-FIVE MEN
DROWNED At SEA

DRIVEN ON THE ROCKS IN GALE
Furness Line Ship Florence Wrecked
OF Canadian Shore-Second Mate
Reaches Safety With Four
Companions.

St. Johns, N. F., Dec 23.-Twenty'
two of the twenty-seven members OF
the crew of the Furness line steamer
Florence. from Halifax, n s., for st
Johns, lost their lives in the wrec;
OF the vessel on the lodges west OF
St Shots during a northwest gale
Five exhausted survivors who reached
land in boat brought the news to
Trepassey The steamer carried no
passengers.
Captain Barr of the steamer and all
his men reached shore after the YES
sci struck but the lofty. inaccessible
cliffs of st. Shots prevented their
escape. The big tide, backed up BY
the northwest gale. made it impos'
sible to remain there, and all hands
were obliged to put back to the ship,
which was pounding heavily.
Captain Barr felt confident the wind
would go down, but Second Mate j.
Hedley volunteered to take four men
in one of the ships boats and seek a
more favorable landing place further
along the coast. In the heavy seas
then running the captain was unwill-
ing to risk more lives and gave his
consent to the second mates eXpedi-
tion with reluctance.
With great difficulty Hedley piloted
his small boat along the coast until
he saw break in the rugged line of
cliffs. Pointing the nose of the boat
directly into the surf, avoided the
outlying rocks and on the crest of a
great breaker, ran his craft in with
out being upset. Trembling out
hastily to avoid being sucked back
by the undertow, the mate and his
four men dragged their boat up the
beach out of reach of the sea and
made their way back along the cliff
to where the steamer lay.
The wind and sea in the meantime
had increased. The combers broke
continually over the decks of the YES
sci. which was grinding heavily on
the Jagged rocks Hedley and his
men searched in vain for some path
by which the cliff might be scaled or
the crew of the Florence helped. The
coast in that vicinity was uninhabit-
ed. The new fshermen's huts were
deserted for the winter, and Hedley
had to take refuge for the night in
on of these abandoned shacks.
