Wellesley Rushing" Party.
February "a

That today is Wellesley day, you
could not doubt had you peeked in
on the lively scene this afternoon at
the Wellesley club meeting at the
home of Mrs. Ralph Kiewit. Loyal
college alumnae find time amidst the
many lectures, musicales and social
duties to keep up their college spirit
and incidentally do a little boosting
for their alma mater. Consequently,
fifteen young girls from Brownell
Hall and Central High school were
invited TO the meeting and were en-
Hghtened upon all phases of college
life, which were so attractively pre-
scented that the prospectives went
home with their hearts overfiowing
with true college spirit and will
spend the rest OF the winter pouring
over catalogues.
Each member brought her memory
book and song book and one might
have thought she was on college
campus had she CHANGED to meander
past the home and heard the rousing
sounds.
A skit, in which Miss Halcyon Cot
ten took the part of the homesick
freshman, who is pictured as falling
asleep in her room while reading
letter from home, was given during
the afternoon. While she dreams vari-
GUS types of girls representing all the
college activities pass before her. Miss
Gretchen Mcconnell was the society
girl and represented the Barnswal-
lows organization; Miss May Som
ers, the student government; Miss
Ora Amber, athletics and sports
Miss Lydia McCague, the dread
academic; Mrs. Ralph Hewitt the
glee club and choir; Miss Mona
Bridge, the frolcs, such as May day
and tree day, and Mrs. James C.,
Dahlman, who, if she had finished her
course, would have graduated with
the first graduating class OF the COL
lege, represented memories.
The parlors were decorated with
yellow jonquils, daffodils and tulips,
while pink roses furnished the cen
terpiece for the dining room table.
Miniature flags and George Washing
ton hatchets were used in the refresh
ments as a reminder of the day.
Thirty members were present and
the guests at this little rushing"
party we're:
Misses Muses.
Charlotte Rosewater, Mary Thomas.
Josephine Platner, Margaretta Shaffer,
Eleanor Carpenter Ruth Parker,

Historic Boundaries Changed.

Beginning with two stipulations, that
the total number of Scottish members
of parliament should remain seventy
member should represent as nearly as
convenient 10000 people, the commits
sioners proceeded to WELD the carving
knife. They found that their task fell
into three parts-the cities, the burghs
and the counties. Under the present
arrangement there are many absurd
anomalies. most of all in connection
with the burghs. These were formed
into groups at some period in history
which most people have completely
forgotten. and the system of groupin 6
has become more and more ridiculous.
Burghs are associated for electoral
purposes in several scattered widely
apart. located in several different
counties. and having nothing what
ever in the way of common interests.
In the case of one beautiful example,
the group known as the Kilmarnock
burghs-the farmers of Kilmarnock,
the fishermen of Campbelltown. the
Burns enthusiasts of Ayr, and the
Highlanders of Oban are expected to
agree on the choice of a member. al
though the places are almost inaccessi-
BILE to each other.
In another group-the Wick burghs-
Kirkwall, away up in the Orkney Is
lands. is supposed to agree with Wick
in Caithnesshire. Dornock in Suther-
landshire and Dingwall Tain. Cromarty
and Invergordon in Ross and Gro

Glasgow Has Over 1000, 900.

In the FIVE cities of Glasgow, Edin-
burgh. Dundee. Aberdeen and Perth the
only glaring anachronism is the COM
paratively small representation of Glas-
gov. The great city of the west has
completely outgrown the seven mem-
bers allocated to it. It has now consid-
erably over 100000 Inhabitants and
practically the whole of what were pre-
viously two county constituencies
those of Govan and Patrick. Greater
Glasgow has. therefore. at present real
ly nine members. although two of them
do not count as city men. The COM
missioners have dealt with Glasgow
on the simple basis of population, CIV
ing it fifteen members instead of these
nine. In the cases of Edinburgh, Dun
dee and Aberdeen no changes were
found necessary in numbers of mem
Dundee and Aberdeen two each. In Ed
inburgh, however, some changes in
boundaries have been made in order to
make the constituencies representative
of the city as it now is, and to make
the number of members harmonize with
the population.
Edinburgh and Dundee are both some
what aggrieved because each of them
expected to get one more member, but
their grievance is nothing to that of
Perth. which has been wiped out alto
gether as political entity. and merged
in one of the divisions of it's own coun-
ty. 1t does not come up to the popula-
tion standard. and SO even although it
is city. and entitled to call it's chief
magistrate lord provost, instead of
simply provost, it will have no indi-
vidual parliamentary representation
under the new scheme.

GLASGOW, Scotland. August 24.-If
the present government outlives the
war and If there is no general election
before the war Is over Scotland will
be very different country, politically,
from what it was before the war be-
gan. Already much of the former party
animosity has died out and the tragic
experiences through which the people
have passed have led them to the con-
clusfon that, after all, there is very
little in the differences of politicians,
and that 1t is hardly worth while quar-
reling over whether the members of
parliament are liberals or conserva-
tives. But apart from this change Of
feeling there will be another change
a change of a geographical character.
Scotland will be cut up into entirely
new sections for the purpose of parlia-
mentary representation, and it is high
ly probable that far more of the in
misunderstanding many of the
women-will be enfranchised.
Provision for these far reaching re-
forms is made in a bill which is now
before parliament. intended to apply
to the whole of the United Kingdom,
and already the Scottish boundary
commissioners, who were appointed to
report on the redivtsion of the country,
have submitted their recommen endationS
