A SARTORIAL NIGHTMARE.
The college Tosa" Sported by Har-
ward Students In 1886.

The old time college toga" worn by
the Harvard students back in 1896 was
an amusing sartorial creation. or may
be 1t would more properly be classi-
fed as the result of the dressmaker's
art OF course. no one now living
remembers it, but the ancient ''toga"
is described in the annals of the col
Iege, and the present Oxford cap and
gown are very simple and sober things
in comparison.
AS described by a writer whose
curiosity had been aroused by stories
concerning the gay festive college
toga." even the togas worn by the old
Roman senators were negligible guam
titles. In 1886. when Harvard cele-
brated her two hundredth anniversary,
this fanciful summer garment was
much in vogue. and for at least two
seasons it was in high fashion with the
undergraduates.
1t was made OF gingham and of
color and pattern to suit the taste of
the wearer. 1t was a loose fitting gar
ment reaching to the knees. was gath
cred at the neck and also at the waist,
behind. 1t had a turned over collar. a
small cape rounded in front and belt
of the material of the dress. The
sleeves were either hooked or buttened
at the wrist. 1t was trimmed with
long tasseled white fringe The accom-
paniments Of this dress were low
crowned. broad brimmed straw hat
secured by a broad ribbon under the
chin; trousers and silk or thread gloves
of color in harmony with that OF the
toga. and usually a heavy cane.
1t is not known to whom the distinc-
ton belongs of having first conceived
the college toga." Like Jupiter it
came into being complete in its match
less grace and adornments. 1t was
probably due to the creative genius
and skillful fingers Of "Ma'am" Dana
the college tailoress Of that day. who
was probably the sole manufacturer
of the strange garment

STRENUOUS LOVEHAKIMG.
Mn,e. LabIanc Fairly Flung Herself at
Maurice MaeterIinck.

OF the wooing of Maurice Maeter-
linck by Nine. Georgette Leblanc the
Gil Bias tells the story as given by
the lady herself. Nine. Leblanc, on
reading one of the poets volumes, said
be my husband and no other" She
communicated this resolution to her
friends. who made her believe that
Maeterinck was AN old man with one
foot in the grave. What was her sur
prise, when the long hoped for meet
ing took place, to find that he was
young and strong and beautiful"
The lady ran toward the poet with
a cry. But the poet bashfully re-
coiled, and little wonder. perhaps. for
listen to Nine. Leblanc's own words:
u was like little tgress. My heart
was terribly excited. my cheeks burn
ed. and my eyes were afiame." But
there is no armor against fate, es-
pecially when fate takes the bizarre
but alluring form of little tigress
In a tight black dress with long
train and on the forehead. between
the eyes. a simple blazing diamond"
So continues the story of the inter
view: Il took his hand"-thus Nine.
Leblanc-"and said to him, You are
mine; you are my husband He was
disconnected by my boldness, which
had the force Of storm in forest
He questioned me on myself and my
life. Sensitive as l am, | realized that
be doubted me. Give me the time,
l said, and | will gain your conf

STORIES AND THE DRAMA.
Harder Work to Write q Novel Than to
Construct a Play.

Construct = Play.
One reason why a play is easier to
write than a novel is that a play is
shorter than a novel On the average
one may say that it takes six plays TO
make the matter Of a novel. Other
things being equal. short work of art
presents fewer difficulties than a long.

the majority. but then the majority.
having never attempted 10 produce a
long work OF art. are unqualified to
offer an opinion.
1t is said that the most difficult form
OF poetry is the sonnet But the most
difficult form of poetry is the epic, The
proof that the sonnet is the most diff
ficult form is alleged TO be in the few
ness OF perfect sonnets. There are,
however. few more perfect sonnets
than perfect epics. perfect sonnet
may be Il heavenly accident But such
accidents can never happen to writers
of epics.
Some years ago we had an enormous
palaver about the art of the short
story" which numerous persons who
bad omitted TO write novels pronounc-
ed TO be more difficult than the novel.
But the fact remains that there are
scores OF perfect short stories, where
as it is doubtful whether anybody out
Turgenev ever did write perfect
novel
A short form is easier to manipulate
than long form because its construc-
tion is less complicated, because the
balance of its proportions can be more
easily corrected by means OF a rapid
survey, because it is lawful and even
necessary in it to leave undone many
things which are very hard to do and
because the emotional strain is less
prolonged. The most difficult thing in
all art is to maintain the imaginative
tension unslackened throughout a con,
siderable period.-Metropolitan Maga-
zine.

Deep and Shallow Diamonds,

In buying a diamond see to it that
your stone is neither too deep nor too
shallow If it be too deep the table"
at the top of the stone will have dead
look instead of showing as much color
and light as at the edge, where the
diamond is cut thin to receive the
light You are simply paying for ex-
ira weight that adds nothing to, but
rather detracts from the appearance of
the gem. The shallow stone. on the
other hand-whi2h is technically known
as fish eye-has a CLASSY look. Some
people buy them because they appear
bigger than they really are, but the
bargain is poor one and to be avoided
