HER COLLEGE CAREER
By HELEN DEAN,

It was something unusual in our vil- lage for a girl to have aspirations for a college career, and then, too, that 1t should be Joe Millers plain. freckle- faced little Maggie, who had gradu- ated from high school with honors. but no flowers. Indeed, flowers had not entered largely into Maggie's life. After her mothers death she kept house for her crippled father until he died.
 If Maggie heard how she was criti- eised for thinking of spending her lit tie inheritance so foolishly, she did rot let it affect her. She went to college, and we did not see anything of her for four years. When she came back, we scarcely recognized Joe's girl in the tall, beautiful Joung lady who was so kind and sweet to all of us, that we began to think college might be pretty good thing for girl, after all. But it was as we feared, Maggie Margaret, as she called her self-had ideas; she couldn't settle down.
 Mrs. Stover said she came to her house one evening and told her that she was interested in domestic sci ence, and that after having given the servant-girl problem much study, she had come to the conclusion that if good, capable girls would take up the work, the standard would be raised and this noble profession lifted from the depths to which it had fallen. She then asked Mrs. Stover point blank whether she would let her daughters go out with her to service Mrs. Stover has a weak heart, and she had a spell right there.
 Maggie was not easily discouraged. She visited all her girl friends, but not one was sufficiently interested in the good work to sacrifice preeon- eeived ideas. Mrs. Ivan, however, said that she had presented the matter to her in such an attractive light that Il she really thought ofsencouraging her Anna Belle, but, as she argued, it might ruin her future prospeets-a young man fraom Spring Dale was calling at the Ivan home-and that Joe Miller's Maggie had nothing to lose in that way. We really felt sorry for Maggie. If she had stayed at home, she might have eventually married some plain, honest man, but now, we agreed, she was matrimo- nially dead. No man would stand for a woman with queer ideas.
 Maggie succeeded in getting posi- tion as cook with the Van Skiver's down on the River road. We heard through their nurse that when the eldest son came home for vacation he spent too much time in the kitchen to suit his mother, so she told her cook she didn't need her services longer.
 She went to the city in the fall and secured employment with a college professors family. We heard nothing of her for about two years, then Lit tleton had sensation. A marked copy of a city paper was sent on.
