I use to be the baby
 Fore the other baby came, I didn't know that maybe
 I'd have to change my name; But now I'm only "Brother,''
 He's mothers precious pet.'' q guess she's stayed my mother,
 But I haven't ast her yet.a thought, though he was tiny
 And he looked so very queer, He'd got over being whiny,
 When he found that I was here. I thought before we knew it
 We'd be chupny as could be; But ain't goin' to do it.
 'Caause he isn't nice to me. I musn't even hold him
 Less he drops onto the floor, An"it doesn't do to scold him;
 It just starts him into roar. I am goin' on to seven
 And I go to bed alone; But wisht he'd stayed in heaven
 Till he'd got a little grown P'r'haps some day there'n come
 another
 It would be a, funny joke; Then he'd have to be the brother,
 An be told his nose was broke.'' It would start him ye1lin', maybe,
 But I'd tell him, just the same, That he couldn't be the baby
 When the other baby came. Ethel M. Kelley in the September St. Nicholas.

If all the world and love were young some of these pleasures might not
 mean so much to those who live for having good times come what may. Young women and lively girls whose
 natures crave excitement when the
 summer gayeties are over look for
 ward with delight to the bright open
 ings of the gilded theatres. Young
 men who have been taking their gest
 girls on outings and dancing attend
 ance to their pretty companions from
 May to September find that if they
 would be popular with fsweethearts they must start in by taking them to
 theatres at least every week or two.
 The nigh-spirited young man likes
 to appear liberal that she may not
 look to any new suitor to take her
 where her fancy wills. But the drain upon his purse for nearly six months taking her out is more than he has made up when he stops to consider that he was obliged to borrow cash from all of his intimate fellow, chun1s to defray these gallant pastimes.
 It is a serious drawback to the man who i5 devoted, yes, deeply in love, with a sweet and charming young wo- man, whom he expects some day he might ask to be his wife, to hear her read off with gusto all the best plays she must certainly go with her best fellow to see. It sounds all right for her to tell him and her girl friends that there is not half a dozen fine dra- mas she has missed seeing in the diff ferent seasons.
 She even lets what she had intended to keep secret be known to him that she has trimmed over her lace theatre waist to wear soon. That is surely of interest to her, but he is almost at the point of unendurance when he inward ly specu1ates over what that will mean to him. He is willing to take her to places. of amusement now and then but there are the suppers afterward that she will go to. He has often heard in the midst of the music and reverly a terrible warning Of a, storm about to burst down in torrents His heart sinks. There's nothing to be theatre if the sidewalks are rain drenched, enough so as to spoil her dainty costume and slippers, but to hire a conveyance and take her home in princely fashion as if money was made for nothing but to spend
 Let me whisper a word of warning in girls ears about flirting with young men With a view of having them take them to anusements they have longed to see This is the worst of folly If are made through hirta- tons, Nnen never want that girl for wife. She does not seem asSweetheart He has no confidence in her; is aware that if he had not happened to attract her the good-1ooking fellow behind would have been signaled. He does not respect her. He feels different to- ward a home-1oving girl, who has com passion on his pocketbook and loves him for himself alone

GERMAN WOMEN
 SUPPLANT MEN AS
 UNIVERSITY PUPILS
Registration of Institutions of Learning DiscIoses Effect
 of War.

Berlin, Oct 5-wonen have taken advantage as never before of the ab- man universities to strive for the higher education that not, so many years ago was denied them.
 During the last semester which fell entirely in peace times 4,13O women were registered at the various instt- to 4,570 during the past half year, constituting a percentage increase: of women attending German universi- ties of from 6.74 to s.54. In the en- tire past six years the percentage had increased only 2.7.
 The actual increase in point of numbers is not as great in two earlier years. when the figures jumped by 680 and s478 resp pectively. The 1915 figures, however, has been held down somewhat by the absence of the Americans, Russians, English and rolled and who, during the war, have been absent.
 The nuslber of women studying medicine shows the largest increase, rising~from STA to 1,150. Five years ago there were but 512. There are. 2,258 studying philology and history, against 2,12O; 862 studying mathe- matics, against 761; ITO studying political science, againsct 132; 73 studying law, against 57; AZ study ing dentistry. against 51; 7~studying theology, against 16; and 12 study ing pharmacy, against IA.
 The southern German universities have suffered losses, and the Prussian institutions have gained, in number of women students. The attendance includes-1,o23 at Berlin; 492 at Bonn: 388 at Munich; PIT at Mer-I burg; 252 at Heidelberg; PAP at Goettfngen; 24O at Muenster; 23O at Leipsic; 225 at Breslau; I'll at the new University of Frankfort; 151 at Freiburg; 160 at Koenigsberg; 137 at Jena;f 122 at Ha1le;, 98 at Ke1; 78 at Greifswald; 50 at Tuebingen; 56 at 43 at Wferzburg; 32 at Geeissen; 2S at Erlangen,' and 34 at Rosstock.
 The number of women students at German technical schools has increas- ed this year to 119, as against S2 last year and 68 two years ago. Of these, 20 are taking architecture, 28 chem stry and pharmacy, two engineering, four electro-technic, and 65 lanz guages<

She will not go to amusement parks and excursions. I have no bad habits. Do not go with other girls. Am I not entitled to more pleasures than have with her? J.O.
 She is not a sensible turn of mind. Likes you, or would not call you to see what was the matter. At the same time. perhaps she fears amusement going and these places would take considerable of your money, which you could not afford, She would save amounts you would. throw away.
