circumstances; he thinks that the req son of this state of affairs is that women of today love with their minds rather than, as formerly, with their emotional, silly hearts.
 That is what say" Mir Buchanan re- marked, that man may feel nightly compimented if a woman says she will marry him, because the woman of today makes a study of men and their ways and is rather wary of them when it comes to saying for better or for Worse.'
 The day has passed, this clever writer declares when a man can send his pock- etbook a-wooing for him, for the mod ern self-supporting woman has a pocket book of her own; if man attracts woman nowadays his brain must be as to be.
 'I'm not speaking of the frivlous so- ciety butterfly" says MT. Buchanan, "who has nothing to do but spend the money somebody else has made for her. they are not representative women of this country; but I'm speaking of the woman of fine mind and good business sense, who considers marriage so serious a proposi- tion that she finds it her duty to stay unmarried until she is pretty certain of the step she is taking; so, when the woman of today lays aside her work long enough to think of a man and mar ry. you may be pretty certain that she loves him and she will handle the situa- tion with all her fine buisness acumen and all the love that comes from a fine brain and heart that is steady and truew

short, the woman who thinks for herselI instead of simply feeling with her emotions.
 It is this type that Nnows what she wants these days, and more, she knows what she doesn't want.
 Mir Buchanan is willing to concede that maybe some of the women of today are becoming loveless, but the vast majority of them have just arrived at that state oe living where they can assert the thlnSs that women have thought and felt TOT generations, but have never before been in position to declare.
 We are hearing to be sure, lot these days about things that women have here tofore never dared to declare; the de- lectable gentlemen referred to conceds that they never give thought to the at- fections; also he admits that he thinks many modern women have taken to suf- frage just exactly as the "old maid" used to take to missionary work; suffrage and tn many modern issues and interests supply the place that woman only found once by marrying.
 In former times, women married often to escape an old age in some charitable institution; she made herself a slave to the household and worked nine times as hard as those of today who are un- married for today th- woman who has been brought up to work generally has a bank account.
 Men are not used to this change our young New York playwright declared, and according to his observation they don't know what to make of women who are not glad to marry them under any

There are some things that seem to come out of a clear sky and strike us down like thunderbolts because we are unsuspecting and unprepared- Their very force bowls us over. We give up. We relax. We cannot fight such things. They are too much for us. But by and by we recover.
 Then there are things, like the pass ing of our friends and kinfolks O. the loss of property, or employment, or some kindred misfortune. They are the sorrows we usually see coming and are more or Jess prepared for and become reconciled to- We fight, We gather ourselves together, take fresh courage and go on again.
 But there is a sort of thing that comes to us sometimes that we can- not quite classify. It is not a shock Nor a calamity. Nor misfortune, It comes gradually, as a sort of realiza- tion rather than a sorrow. First it is only a hint; something half imagined half real Then 1t grows more per sistent. Until finally we know that change has come. We miss something but can't quite put a finger on it. There is a change. We have something else, perhaps, but it doesn't take the place of what we've lost And it seems to have no cure.
 This change or whatever 1t was came to Cora Temple. It was long while before she was able to give 1t name It was not jealousy of David's work. For she loved his work and sympa- thized with 1t fully, helping him in a thousand ways.
 It was not neglect. David adored his wife and made companion of her

whenever he could. That was it-- whenever he could But there were many evenings when he could not Whole weeks sometimes when they scarcely had an hours talk.
 It was not that Cora was left alone For David was always at home unless he was chugging about in high Investigating, suggesting, planning for the disposal of condemned tenements, the making of play parks, the build : ing of sanitary homes
 But Cora Temple was lonely, never theless. Oftentimes a vast and terrify- ing loneliness enveloped her. She never spoke of it to David, for the simple reason that she knew in her heart of hearts it was inevitable. There was no help for it. David had his work. She had her charming home. There was planty of money. There were mutual interests
 Ahl there was one special mutual interest. as Cora always suddenly re- membered with warming spirit and dimming eyes. She would wait patient ly for that What of it if she was lit tie lonely now?
 And when it came it would fill her life and cheer her heart and illum- mate her home. The long days and silent evenings would be forgotten.
 Surely there'll be no loneliness then" she would tell herself. hugging to her breast some little down blanket she was hemming or some wee fluff of four letters beginning with "B." "One must learn to live

The Solemn Undergraduate

From the New Republic.
 Why is the undergraduate theme so steadily devoid of humor in expression? Intelligence, indefatigability, are mat ters of course here: but where shall we find lightness of phrase and spirit? Of course if it be humor to comment in a public print upon the physical peculiar ities of named young women, for ours is coeducational institution. we have 1t; or to steal stone owls from unfinished buildings. But that is heavy humor; of such innate and deep-rooted yet per- haps somewhat earthly comicality, I do not speak; nor of that funny story. which so many freshmen know and tell nor
 the frank enjoyment of life, which is olten and delightfully."- voiced. I mean the sort of thing that finds amusement in the perception of the unexpected, in- terest in the turn of phrase that pro- volSes though it does not challenge the intelligence, picturesque point of view as far from vulgarity and cynicism on the one hand as it is, if you please, from real wisdom on the other. Why is the undergraduate theme so cataclysmically serious? His is the ltany of the literal; or else, his hand on humors very throat he bids him stand and deliver, joke or even a college opera"

 This is the gist of what a distinguished ex-newspaper man, now a writer of clever plays, has to say. showing himself not in utter darkness on the subject of feminine psychology. even though he is bachelor
 The person is Thompson Buchanan, the playwright, his best known play perhaps being "A Womans Way" which was a Broadway success some two or three sea- sons ago.
 MT, Buchanan seems to know a lot about women folk, and he pays some pretty tributes to the modern girl who prefers to support herself and keep her self-respect. rather than marry a man she doesn't love just to be supported.
 Tn the calculations of the modern woman,' says MT. Buchanan, man Is very small figure. He seems to be- long on the right-hand side of the decimal left-hand side, that he used to occupy. In fact, woman is so independent of man these days, as far as money is concerned, that if she marries him at all, it is be- cause she loves him-not because she needs his support"
