THE INTELLECTUAL
SNOB.

There are many kinds of snobs.
Those of US who have read our Thack-
cray have literary familiary with
them in their interesting variety.
Those who haven't read "The Book of
Snobs" have missed a treat, albeit
they may know snobs just the same,
for the world abounds in them, says
an exchange.
At this season Of the year there ap-
pears in the busy marts of the cities
a type of snob the coming Of which
is always a matter for pity and
amusement rather than for the right
eous indignation which most snobs
cause to surge within the breasts
of observant ones.
This is the young intellectual snob,
the jejune college graduate who has
pinned her hopes to her sheepskin,
often to discover that it is made only
of imitation parchment paper. With
eyes glistening enthusiastically be-
hand her pince-nez, she fares forth
into buzzing and totally unfamiliar
world to look for a Job, Of course.
Heaven forbid! Why she stood first
in her class in biology and way up
at the top in trigonometry.
She wants something worth while,
something that shall at once call in
to play the exercise of her executive
talents and also give free play to
her creative faculty. She has thought,
not merely wondered, as have so
many girls of her age. She fairly
bristles with views. She has fornu-
lated an opinion on everything from
transcendentalism to the care of the
insane. There is no subject which
she does not feel qualified to discuss,
and her manner in presenting her
merits to the employer that she would
like to make her own puts that gen
tleman at once in his proper place
which is among the ignorant ones.
Great surprise not unmixed with q
little anger suffuses her being and
sometimes, punctures her cocksure-

SWAIM-BRADLEY
WEDDING.

Mrs. Leverett Bradley, of 20
Brfmmer street, Boston, Mass, an
nounces the marriage, on June rs,
1916, of her daughter, Margaret
Hinckley Bradley, to Capt Roger
Dyer Swain, of the 1st Massachusetts
Field Artillery. The marriage was
to have taken place at the cana2 in
birmingham, and plans for the we'd
ding there were hastily arranged, but
because of the unfavorable weather
conditions, it was decided to have the
ceremony at st. Johns Episcopal
Church in birmingham Center. The
ceremony was performed by the
bridegroom's father, Rev. Joseph S.
Swain, d. D., of Cambridge, who
was assisted by Rev. Murray Dewart,
of Winchester, chaplain of the LIST
Field Artillery. The bride was es.
corted into the church by one of her
brothers, Leverett Bradley, who gave
her in marriage and two other. broth
ers, Walter H. Bradley and Ralph
Bradley, the latter a member of Bat
terry A, also acted as her escorts. The
bridegroom had as his best man his
brother, DR.. Loring Swain, and a
dozen or more fellow officers. Fol-
lowing the service at the church
there was reception at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Harvey. The
bride had intended to have a large
wedding in September, at Trinity
Church. Mrs. Swain will be for the
present at birmingham, where a cot
tage has been taken and her mother,
Mrs. Bradley, also is to remain tire
for a time.

GIRLS SCOUTS
ORGANIZED.

All over the country Girl Scouts
are being organized. From Phila-
delphia comes an account Of a squad
just formed in that city:
1t really is remarkable how won
derfully the CRY Scout idea, which
has been taken up here by Ellen Mary
Cassatt, has caught hold, so to speak,
and at least 400 girls have joined the
ranks, numbering among their menu
beers girls in Miss Cassatt's own
walk of life, wageearners, teacheds,
playground instructors, secretaries
and women in various other profess
lsions. To me it seems very delight
full that there should be this sort Of
lcamaraderie among all classes, and
IL congratulate the girls who have
gotten together and started this
nd-to-be-healthfu exercise. I'M
agine, the society was only inaugua-
rated on June Is, and so great has
been the demand for membership it
has been necessary TO open an Office
and see people by appointment.
The girls appeared yesterday for
the first time in public and looked
most attractive intheir khaki camp
suits ssthe Y marched and drilled out
at Lawndale. They are planning to
go to camp later in the summer, and
there are certain tests which each
must pass through before receiving
a badge from headquarters.
The motto of the Girl Scouts is
s'Be Prepared" They are not, / I'M
derstand, affiliated with the Boy
Scouts in any way, but are a sort
of sister organization.

concentrated here, and drilling by
the regiment is fine.

NET AND ORGANDIE FASHION
ABLE THIS SUMMER.

Organdie is perhaps the only really
close rival to net this summer, and
organdie is used both alone and in
combination with net and with silk.
A very charming frock and at the
same time vedy simple one shows
a gathered skirt of the organdie fin
ished only with a wide hem and
tucks, a blouse with bell shaped
sleeves, and a V-shaped neck that is
edged with pretty lace and a little
sleeveless over blouse of white taft
eta. 1t is finished at the neck, arm
hole and lower edge with a narrow
trimming of white beads that are
sewed over simple conventional de-
sign. It is a very lovely costume
and at the same tins a very girlish
costume, essentially youthful in its
lines and in its treatment. Lace of
simple sort always is used for the
young girls dress and lace is very
lovely as trimming for net and as
trimming for organdie. There is a
new Valenciennes that givessome-
thing of the fillet suggestion that Is
much liked and there are various nov
elites in the way Of lace that are
quite simple and girhsh enough for
such use. A very charming costurns

ness when the ignorant, uncultured
brute whose Office, or library, or news
pepper, or sociological department she
wants to run tells her, that Miss
Smith, who hasn't had the applicants
advantages in the way of the highest
kind of education, it is true, is en-
tirely capable. Shei baffled. She
can't understand that a little theore-
teal knowledge until it is supple
mened with great deal of the prac-
teal kind isn't salable at a very
high price.
Certainly I hold no brief against
a college education. On the con-
trary, I believe every girl should
beg, borrow or work for one if she
can get it in no other way. But in
college a girl rubs shoulders with
only the very tiniest portion of life.
The girl who has ben out in the
world working for those four years
that her more fortunate sister has
been familiarizing herself with books
and crucibles and tennis rackets is
miles ahead of her in her practical
knowledge of working conditions.
The advantage to the college girl
comes in the application that she
makes of the theory that she has
imbibed at her alma mater. If she
ueses her colleg training as a stepp-
ing stone, or as the solid foundation
upon which she is going to erect the
edifice of her commercial or profess
ional success, she will ultimately ar
rive at the goal toward which She is
striving. If, on the contrary, she as
sumes an air of "T know more than
you do" and uses her A. B. or M. A.
as a sort of shillalh with which to
bash her associates over the head,
she is sailing toward the rocks. De-
spite the handicap of the lack of a
higher education, the other type of
girl, she who approaches her chosen
work with an open mind and a de-
termination to learn from those high
er up and upon whom the college
"grad" is won't to look with a pity
that is akin to contempt, will reap the
richer rewards.
