Strange, indeed!

Bishop Rowe. now of South DAKOTA.
was upon a certain occasion obliged
to start out afoot to reach church in
an eastern state. The August day
was close and hot and the road was
dusty. so that after half an hours pc
destrianism the reverend gentleman
was well pleased when man drew
along In spring wagon and offered
q lift. His reverence wore no clericai
garb and the state of his apparel after
the tramping gave small indication OF
his calling.
The team logged into deep wood
The churchman deemed the time and
the place fit for the broaching of spir-
itual things. Accordingly he opened
the subject-rather abruptly, he con-
fesses.

jumped Off the seat, and. before l
could say word, he had gone crash

do you suppose he did that?"

COLLEGE, Girls,

First of all the girl who goes to col
lege must remember that the initial
impression that she makes determines
very largely her happiness or unhappi-
ness for the first few weeks Above
Ill things. she should not arrive IN an
elaborately triRmed suit beplumed
hat and pumps. Such things may be
suitable for rare occasions at home.
but they find practically no place in
the outdoor wardrobe of the we'll
bred college woman. The plain tail
ored suit cut on good lines, tailored
hat to match and neat shoes create an
impression of quiet good taste and ap-
pre- eriateness. This keynote Of sim
plicity should be recognized through
cut her wardrobe. Elaborate chiffon
or net waists and fussy neckwear are
of little use. for college girls room
was never designed for clothes which
require careful treatment and pro-
tection from dust.-Leslie's.

ls Letter Writing Lost Art?

1t is a welI-known fact that In the
present rush of life the art of letter
writing is dying rapidly, especially
among women. There is no time lost
IN long-winded sentences and needless
fancy comments. The up-to-date
mondaine in question expresses her
self in a short, precise, crisp manner
and merely betrays her frame OF
mind, while corresponding, in the Sc
lection of her ink. II the lady means

Of all is the use OF white ink upon

Shall Women Be Parasites?

II women remain at home depen-

II they leave the home they lose the
enormous influence they now possess
IN consequence OF their monopoly of
the care of children. In America there
IS frequent suggestion that the sclu-
lion of the difficulty may lie in elevat-
ing the status Of domestic service so
IS to make II attractive to college
rc lined women of the same social rank
as the employer. The solution does
not seem to appeal 10 English women
strongly. A writer in the English

bout the real liberty Of women
whether wives or daughters, in their
husbands or fathers house. and that
the college woman may find it as
pleasant and profitable to care for her
