Women's Short Course Changes
Dates.

Two years ago the College of
Agriculture, in an effort to ex-
tend to young women of Missouri
the same advantages which have
been accorded to young men for
the past seventeen years, estab-
lise5 a seven week Short Course
for Women. Last winter the en-
rOllment increased to twenty-One.
The course is proving so practi-
cal and so popular that all midi
cations point to a continuation
of this growth in attendance.
With the increased enrolment
and the probability of still fur
Their increase, it has seemed de-
sira5le to change the dates of
this course. Instead of Jam
uary and February it will now
be given during November and
December. Next fall the course
will start October 31st and con-
tinue for seven weeks. This
change will give the women IN
this course a much better oppor-
tunity to select boarding and
rooming places by avoiding the
congestion caused by various
other short courses which are
held after the holidays.
Information in regard to the
Short Course for women ano
other short courses may be had

biscuits Is Biscuits" Is the Impression Abroad

VIZ HAT is biscuit? There has been
w an impression abroad that "bis-
cults is biscuits" and that that let
them out, but German customs Off
Gals have found biscuit is:
"a fine bakers product. sweetened
and favored, and should, therefore,
come under a particular heading for
import duty"
And, in consequence OF this epicu-
rean definition, importers of American
biscuits in the Fatherland are forced
to pay prohibitive duty. So high
has this duty been set that one i'm
porter has made a protest to Ambas-
sador G. A. Leishman at Berlin that
the matter be taken up by the state
department.
Many weighty problems have left
their indent on the massive brows of
the shippers of our ship of state. But
the latest problem is one that will
force them to get down on their knees
and scrub out the cellars of their in
tellects. What is beer?" What is a
Democrat?" What is whisky ?"-they
have all been answered. But now
comes a proposition of preponderant
pourousness, and it is up to the state
department officials either to substan-
tiate the good old Century diction-
airy, or to agree In the German YER
sion The Century dictionary gives
this press notice on biscuits:

Cavalry Club, London.

Wellington was stormed by furious
mob. The wedge has been driven in.
and the scaffolding, which announces
the erection of the new hotel, sounds
the death knell of Piccadilly as the
worlds greatest street of clubs.
The older clubs will be hard put to
find new quarters commensurate with
their dignity. Instead of looking out
upon a really magnificent park-the
section of Piccadilly / refer to is and
can be only built on one side Of the
street-they will have to retreat to
quieter streets, where the outlook only
is likely to be other peoples windows.
Even here they will find it hard to
pay the necessary rent. There is
some talk of turning Dorchester
House, rented by Whitelaw Reid, and
the Stafford and Spencer houses into
clubs, but this would probably prove
too expensive. Since the advent Of
the fashionable hotel restaurant the
popularity of club life has steadily de-
cnned. With a few notable excep-
tons, the average London club is in
rather low water financially. The old
days Of waiting ten years or more
for election have departed. Two or
three old clubs have broken up and
others have amalgamated.

Tall Trimmings on Millinery.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, tall trimmings continue the
rage and in some of the imported
models this idea is carried almost to
the point of absurdity. Among the
most effective models now being
shown in which the tall trimming idea
is employed is a black Milan sailor
with the brim gently rolled at the left
side. A tiny fringe of black goura
outlines the brim and from the edge
of the brim at the left shoots upward
a tan black goura aigrette bent at
the top in loop form. The tall trim
ming idea is also strongly emphasized
in this market. Question marks OF
feathers, ribbons, cords, etc., long
pointed sleeves, fat spear-like orna-
ments Of velvet and of various fancy
silks, aigrettes of small flowers close
ly packed together, and long spike
like jet ornaments are all utilized in
this fashion.

Caterers who previous to the COM
ing of Mrs. Taft had found the White
House their best patron, bewailed the
lost trade. No matter how perfect
their wares they had no sale at the
White House, where Mrs. Jaffray's
management made it possible for
''home cooking" to hold the boards
against all corners. The biggest fete
planned, as for instance. the silver
wedding celebration of the President
and Mrs. Taft. as well as the tiniest
luncheon served. were provided for
down in the big White House kitch-
ems. 1t was all done so easily that
1t looked like child's play. Mrs. Jaft-
ray worked out a tentative menu and
presented it to Mrs. Taft. Mrs. Taft
made whatever additions or elimina-
tions she wished and returned the
menu to Mrs Jaffray with the num-
Der of possible guests to be served.
