considerably behind the times in
accepting the new type Of brainy
woman for its heroine. Fiction
writer's have stuck her Napologetical-
ly in side role, heroic but un-
happy one. Take the lady who did
not marry the wonderful hero in
"The Crisis" She was brilliant; she
read poetry, And she was gildenly
self-sacriticial. But the heroine was
brilliant and beautiful too, even
though the book behind her ready
wit was hidden from the public gaze
of the reader. The book was only
in the mind of the authors eye.
Young Robert Nathan, one OF the
newest noveltiest, has created a
college heroine in his book. Peter
Kindred" She is the cold intellect
ual heroine, with candid eyes calcu-
lated to frighten of any young man
except the earnest student hero
who falls in with her evident plans
for matrimony. They fall furiously
in love with each other, as should
all good heroes and heroines, and
lead precisely the happy, unhappy
life ever after they should, accord
ing TO age-old fiction that tells of
lovers.
The heroine of "The Story of
Lover" whose brilliant author hides
behind a veil Of anonymity, is cold
woman, whose slow
flame makes her more vividly and
dangerously desirable to her hus
band than the laguid, inactive ladies
of the amorous east. 1t is her very
intellect and Clever understanding
that enhances her power and her
charm over her husband. Power is
to the wise woman, says the fiction
and the fact of today.
Who are the Sarah Blackstones OF
actual life? Who are the women that,
like this heroine, live their life freely,
impelled by desire to do their
best work, without restraining fear
of outworn scruples of maidenly re-
tirement and anonymity? One has
but to look through the rosters Of
active movements for civil, artistic
and intellectual betterment to find.
these women. For the most part
they are finely modelled, capable, in
tel!igent women, whose home lives
are vivihed by their alert sensibili-
ties. Tenderness is not banished,
it is increased by intelligence.

Fiction Gives New Type
Of Heroine In Brainy,
LOvable Woman.

OF 1879 women college grad
yates, only 6544 were married, ac-
cording to a report of the Associa-
ton of Collegiate Alumnae. These
figures are the result Of an investi-
cation conducted by eight leading
women colleges and one co-educa-
ton college. That this seems to
bear out the popular notion to the
effect that college women are cold
and dry and incapable of affection is
disproven by the testimony of mod
ern literature.
For the heroine Of fiction is no
longer the pretty. long-lashed, inca
pable little woman who is serious
only in her loveliness. She has been
slowly supplanted by the attractive
and active heroine who loves sin-
cerely and whole-heartedly because
she can work and play earnestly
and intelligently and buoyantly.
The latest heroine of fiction, Sarah
Blackstone, is a champion of the
cause of college women, put forth
by NJ. H. Hedges in his new novel,
Iron City" At the hands Of Mr..
Hedges she becomes the champion
Of clever women's right to love. He
makes her an eloquent example of all
that stands in the way of her easily
giving herself in love to a man. And
a neloquent example of the richness
of her affection and understanding
when once it has been given.
Sarah Blackstone is pretty, for
obviously even college women are
pretty. She has all the apparent
vices of the grind ex-
cept horn goggles. She is a social
worker, she is a teacher, expelled
from college staff for showing an
in the distribution of liter
ature on the limitation of offspring.
She does any number of bold and in
conceivable things. But, like her
sister in real life, is lovable, and
shy in love.
Fiction has, on the whole, been

The former Empress Eugene of
France, widow of Napoleon III,
will shortly celebrate her ninety
third birthday. She was taken prIs-
oner by the Germans in 1870, later
living in exile in England. The aged
Eugene now spends most Of her
time in the flower gardens which
used to be part Of her palace
grounds in Paris. This photograph
of the ex-empress is one of her ia

the gay and elegant social days Of

Heart Beats

A queen there was
Who said
What she thought -
And said 1t
Whenever
She thought 1t.
Sometimes she met
Sometimes she missed
The trend
OF approved opinion.
She was usually kind
Though she spoke her mind
On any
And every subject
Her humor was keen
And highly developed
Her wits
Were flashes Of FIRE.
She lived
And loved
By the soul of things
And she followed
Her hearts desire.>
Many there were
Who criticised
Some hated
And some despised-
But the valiant friends
That her candor won
Were the worth-whiles-
The staunch
And the fine.
They fought and defended
Her mode of life
They knew her
And understood
A queen there was ...
Who guarded her speech
Till tact
Became her watchword-
She felt the pulse
Of each audience
Ere she voiced
The slightest view.
No enemy evei
Disturbed her peace
Nor ruffled
Her dignifed pose
But when the crisis
Came in her life
There was none to offer aid
Her diplomacy counted
For little indeed
When courageous allies
Were needed.
It seems to be
The law Of life
That enemies are inevitable
By-products of friends.

CLUBDOM
TT is = significant fact that the
three women who have been ap-


three women who have been ap-
pointed to high positions in the
republican national organization are
conspicuously prominent in Ne
braska club life. Mrs. M. D. Cam
eron, Mrs. Harry Keefe and Mrs. E.
6. Drake are names known to every
member of the N. r. w. c. Aside
from the naturally fine qualities of
the mind and character in these
women, this conclusion seems ap-
parent: Women's clubs are a great
training school. They develop lead
ers, broaden ideas, make for democ-
racy and compel women to have a
more generous regard Of life and
people. Just how much woman's
progress in the last century can be
credited to women's clubs is an in
teresting speculation.
