arms ring through the land even while
% made holiday in memory Of its dead
heroes.
To be sure, the veterans Of the Civil
War were there. IL was their parade.
Their ragged lines OF shutting, limp.
ing, bowed and age -gnarled men, per
haps a little more docrepit and fewer
than last year, perhaps a little more
pathetic, won their need Of applause
and softened hearts as they marched
with sll the sturdnoss there was in
them omblematically tho healed
wounds Of the nation from which its
lifeblood had once flowed.
But in the setting in which those
six or seven hundred veterans marched
they did not seem so much a reminder
OF the heroic past as of the need Of a
more heroic present. They recalled
the days of 81, when. if the nation
had been prepared with $4,000 men, the
Civil War might never have happened;
they recalled, also, the 100000 COM
radcs who were thrown into the bloody
maclstrom before the strife was
stopped.
Militia Not in Holiday Dress.

COLLEGE GIRLS SPEND
LITTLE FOR PLEASURE
Over 81 Per Cent Of Their Money
Goes for Necessities.

NORTHAMPTON. Mass. Feb. 49,.
In a report made public today. Miss
Ada Comstock, dean OF Smith College.
refutes what she says is the popular
idea that the college girl devotes a
large part of her time and money to
amusing herself.
Figures compiled from expense ac-
counts kept by all the students for
two months and by about one-fourth
OF the total for the school show the
average girl at Smith spends S7.4 per
cent of her money for necessities, s.2
per cent for pleasure, including dues,
recreation. contributions to church
ana charity, and 81 per cent for book 8
and stationery. Individual eNpendi-
lures ranged from $3.50 to 81. $50. the
average being S765
