In the first almost any course adopt

s:rls Is difficult. In one of the high
schools here the student must have

up four regular subjects each year,
and during the four years must take
enough o; the extras, counting one
third of a point each 90 make the
eighteen. At the opening of the year
the student is told that each of the
regular subjects require one hour a
day and each of the extras one hour a
week. Naturally this can be done or
the faculty would not demand ii. The
school day consists of about six hours
divided into eight periods. The first
period lasts from eight-thirty till nine,
the second from nine fifteen to ten
and so on. Four of the periods, of the
day are given over to the regular sub
jects while there is an average OF one
period a day given over to some ona
OF the extra subjects. This leaves
about two hours for study I'm school
and out of the school hours time for
the perusal of the other two studies
must be found. Then there must be
found an hour week for each OF the
extras. After the studying Is COM
.pleted there Is little time for reerea-
ton. II the school work Is done dur
ing the day there is left only the night
for exercising and night exercise n
not very profitable.
II is necessary. for the school girl
to have enough mental recreation and
physical labor to insure her deyelop-
ment physically Ind mentally. II is
really wise for as many Of the gi:ls
who feel that they can take part IN
all or the school athletes. Each year
the GRID may r. they wish take 4p,
hockey, basket ball, swimhine 4 and
tennis. All of these recret tiohs ere
muscle developers and are healthy
Exercise should be INDUCED In by the
girls and the forms of exercise proyid-
ed by the schools are as profitable as
any other.
Many of the girls take no interest
inllthe school athletics because their
parents, ,dot not urge them to do so.
Some mothers are inclined to think
that their daughters are only wasting
their enersy when spending their tirfe
in these sports. But as the girl must
exercise some time during the day it
is well that she take interest In school
sports. and in this way, for the hours
are neither too long nor too short but
are long enough to make the student
feel fresh when taking up her books
to prepare the lessons for the follow
ing day.

School WORK
NOW The POINT

After a summer OF glorious recrea.
tons and pleasurable exercise the
school. children, both old and young,
have put aside play for work.
The absolute putting away OF friyo-
Titles however Is done most conscienti-
oGsly by the college student who dur.
ing the four years Of his course has
little time for recreation. The gram.
mar school student has too much, or
rather makes TOD much time for play
and In many instances the studies are
neglected. .-.. ...-.@.
The preparatory schools convene at
nine O'Clock have two recesses curing
the day and close at two. These are
easy hours for the child. Too easy
possibly. for It pays little heed to its
eighth grades. Many of the subjects
are not comprehended by the student
who Is usually inclined to leave the
hard work to the teacher, taking little
of the burden upon himself. Tie mo-
ment the two o'clock bell rings, books
ere cast aside and not taken up until
the morrow. The only way to remedy
this condition Is for the mother to
take her child In hand and to make
him study. This is not 90 easily done
as said, but nevertheless can be done

pocketed the money, forgetting 70 40
count to the owners for the sums they
brought. The dealers demanded resti-
tuition or a settlement and Underwood,
dreading exposure, had to hustle
around to raise enough money to
make up the deficiency in order to
avoid prosecution. In this way he
lived from day to day borrowing from
Peter to settle with Paul, and on one
or two occasions he had not been
ashamed to borrow from Mrs. Jeffries
herself.
Alicia lent the money more because
she feared ridicule than from any real
desire to oblige Underwood. She had
long since become disguised with him.
The mans real character was now
plainly revealed to her. He was an
adventurer. little better than q COM
mon crook. She congratulated her
self on her narrow escape. Suppose
she had married him-the horror OF
It! Yet the next instant she was
filed with CONSERVATION. She had
allowed him to become so intimate
that it was difficult to break OF with
him all at once. She realized that
with a man of that character the in
eyitable must come. There would be
a disgraceful scandal. She would be
mixed up in it, her husbands eyes
would be opened to her folly. it might
ruin her entire life. She must end it
now-once for ALL She had already
given him to understand that their
intimacy must cease. Now he must
stop his visits to her house and de-
sist from trapping her friends into his
many schemes She had written him
that morning forbidding him to come
to the house this evening. She was
done with him forever.
These thoughts were responsible for
the frown on the beautiful Mrs. JEFF
fries bejeweled brow that particular
Saturday evening. Alicia gave a sigh
and was drawing on her long kid
gloves before the glass, when sudden
ly a maid entered and rendered her
mistress a note Alicia knew the
handwriting only too well. She tore
the letter open and read:
Dear Mrs. Jeffries: I received your let
ter telling me that my presence at your
house tonight would be distasteful to
you. AS you can imagine. it was great
shock Don't you understand the harm
this will do me? Everybody will notice
my absence. They will jump to the con-
clusion that there has been a rupture,
and my credit will suffer Immediately

this happen now. My affairs are in such
condition that it will be fatal to me.

guessed how unhappy she was. She
knew that by her own indiscretion she
was in danger of losing all she had
won, her position in society, her place
in the affections Of her husband,
everything.
When she married Mr.. Jeffries it
was with deliberate calculation. She
did not love him, but, being ambitious.
she did not hesitate to deceive him.
He was rich, he could give her that
prominent position in society for
which she yearned. The fact that
she was already engaged to man for
whom she did care did not deter her
for a moment from her set purpose.
She had met Robert Underwood years
before. He was then a college boy,
tall, handsome, clever. She fell in
love with him and they became en-
gagged. AS she grew more sophisticat-
ed she saw the folly of their youthful
infatuation. Underwood was without
fortune, his future uncertain. While
in this uncertain state of mind she
met Mr.. Jeffries, then widOwer, at
a reception. The banker was attract
ed to her and being business man
he did things quickly. He proposed
and was accepted, all in the brief
time Olive minutes. Robert Under
wood and the romance of her girlhOOd
were sacrificed without question when
it came to reaching prompt decision.
She wrote Underwood brief letter
of farewell, telling him that the action
she had taken was really for the best
interests of them both. Underwood
made no reply and for months did not
attempt to go near her. Then he met
her in public. There was reconcilia-
ton. He exerted the old spell-On the
married woman. Cold and Indifferent
to her husband, Alicia found it anus
ing to have her old lover paying her
court and the danger of discovery only

gave the intrigue additional zest and
charm. She did not lead Underwood
to believe that he could induce her to
forget her duty to Mr.. Jeffries, but
she was foolish enough to encourage
a dangerous intimacy. She thought
she was strong enough to be able to
call a halt whenever she would be so
disposed, but as is often the case she
overestimated her powers. The in
timacy grew. Underwood became
holder, claiming and obtaining special
privileges. He soon realized that he
had the upper hand and he traded on
it. Under her patronage he was in
vited everywhere. He practically lived
on her friends. He borrowed their
money and cheated them at cards.
His real character was soon known to
all, but no one dared expose him for
fear Of offending the influential Mrs
Jenries. Realizing this, Underwood
continued his depredations until he
became q sort of social highwayman.
