Cllve's departure led to more mir
tations by Ethel than old Lady
Kew could countenance, but Ethe
had found out how undesirable q
man Lord Kew was, and broke the
engagement so dear to her grand
mothers heart
When Give heard that the en-

and Ethel he set out in haste fol
London. I was installed as con-
fidant, and to me Give said: Mrs
Mackenzie bothers me so I hardly
know where to turn. and poor little
Rosey is made to write me a note
about something twice a day.
Pen! I'm up another tree now!"
Give met his cousin Ethel at a
party or two in the ensuing weeks
of the season. and at one of thelr
meetings Ethel told him that her
grandmother would not receive
him. 1t was then that Give thought
Ethel worldly, although much OF
her attitude was due to the keen

Meanwhile the Lady Clara was not
happy with her Bernes. All the life
and spirit had oeen crushed out OF
the girl consigned to cruel usage, lone

the past. Jack Belsize, now Lord
Highgate, could stand the strain nc

from her bullying but cowardly hus-
band. The elopement OF Clara opened
Ethel's eyes to the misery OF loveless
marriages, and the mama of her new
love, the Marquis of Farintosh, al

which set her son free.
Ethel then returned to the lonely
motherless children of her brother

CAP AND GOWN

The present-day custom of wearing
cap and gown at the comforting Of
degrees at American universities
harkens back to medieval days.
In the early days of the University
OF Paris the chancellor of the ca
thedral on the lie de la Cite Issued
the licenses 10 teach, and when the
student entered upon the performance
OF his duties as duly licensed
teacher. his emancipation from the
oachelorhood was symbolized by
placing OH his head a cap or birets,
which ceremony was performed by
his former instructor. The present
day custom of giving a hood when
an honorary degree is conferred is'
therefore. but an outgrowth of this
medieval ceremony. 1t was but natu-
raj that the early universities should
preserve as their academic dress all
adaptation of the monks robe with
It's cowl or hood Such gowns were
at first mark of profound learning
ana were worn by doctors of divinity
and graduates. but later, undergradu-
ates were entitled to wear them.
At oxford and Cambridge, where
the order OF things does not change
with each succeeding generation. the
same type of gowns has been worn
since the beginning of the seventh
century.
In America it has long been CUE
tomary for eminent jurists, doctors
OF divinity and presiding officers Of
universities to wear a black silk robe
OF ample dimensions. This move
ment, which was indefinite. originated
among the students themselves, and

When Mr.. Humphrey. the master Of

produced mechanically by a thing Of
steel and wood! 1t was preposterous.
When the first notes of the song
