A NOVEL of Temperament.

Van 70 Posts Diana Ardway' is
a novel of temperament. 1t has some
good situations. it is full of fire and
it's tone is free from any of the re-
strictions of what is known as
drawing-room prudery. Indeed, those
who know the author will agree that
he could never be restrained by any
such old-fashioned ideas. many of
them only the offspring of prurient
fancy. Meanwhile, Diana Ardway''
is a love story of sufficient interest to
read ON a dull gray afternoon.

for the health of our troops. The Mexican soldiers have a way of aim- ing their rifles in battle at about the height of a second story win dow. The bulk of their shots will go wild. But the power of fever germs works bliildly against friend and foe.
 Certainly there has been progress in the United States army since the woeful record of 1898. Panama and Havana prove it. Anti-typhoid vac cination has reduced cases of that disease in the army to figure only one-twentieth what it was nine years ago. Let 1t be hoped that the scien- tific thoroughness which the blue jackets displayed in the brief bonl- bardment of Vera Cruz, would sim ilarly be shown by the land forces in hygienic campaign.

THE GRADUATION GOWNS.

The estimate is made that the usual cost for graduating girl in high school is $50 for gowns, flow CTS, gloves, etc. Many families spend a great deal more than that. Some spend less, but they are perhaps wealthy people who do not fear criti- cism if their daughters dress sim ply.
 For the working man with several girls to put through the public schools. this is an item of expense worth study. Parents who have am bitions for their children like to give them a good send-off. They feel obliged to play the game with the rest. The result is that many girls drop out of high schools before the last year, losing the cream of the course and of the social pleasures that go with it.
 In view of these facts. the move ment for simple gowns for school commencements seems to be gain ing ground. It meets with opposition from vain and thoughtless people. But our schools can not be truly Democratic so long as this heavy and, needless tax is imposed.
