TIME: Association OF Collegiate
Alumnae, one of the oldest
and largest organizations OF
college women in the United
States has established national head
quarters in Washington and is to eel
ebrate the event next week by the
formal opening of the historic build
ing at 1907 Fl street. which has been
secured as a clubhouse.
The crowded condition OF the city
win make such building Of inesti
women. The history and the work of
the association have made an impera-
tive demand for the national head
quarters and clubhouse. The asso-
citation is entering upon its thirty
eighth year. 1t was organized In Bos-
ton in 1882 by seventeen woman grad
yates OF eight American colleges
Michigan. Oberlin. Vassar, Boston Uni
verslty. Wellesley. Wisconsin, Cornell
and Smith. Since that date repre-
sentatives from all the leading edu-
cational institutions OF Europe have
become affiliated. and eighty American
colleges have come into it. Associa-
tional branches have been established
in all sections of this country with
constituency OF many thousand NOM
bers Only women holding degrees in
arts. science, letters or philosophy from
institutions on a list acceptable to the
national association are eligible to full
membership. There is. however, an
associate membership to which women
may he elected who are not eligible to
fun membership, but who have had

From it's inception the list of women
who have made up the membership or
the association has been brilliant
one. Practically all the leading wom-
an educators of the country are mem
bers. besides innumerable other prom
inent college women who are engaged
in scientific. literary and kindred oc-
cupations. In addition to these there
is long membership list of college
women who are unknown in public
life, but who rank high among our
country's best homemakers and house
wives. The women who have filled
the offices of the association have
been women Of note in educational
circles. The nrfsent officers are Mrs.

The Washington branch Of the A c.
A., as the association is Familiarity
known by college women. was one OF
the earliest branches of the national
society and has had many local WON =

been noted for it's activities. but un-
der the leadership of Mrs. Raymond b.
Morgan. who held the presidency dur
ing the war period. the scope of Its
activities was greatly enlarged and
the need of national headquarters be-
came apparent. Mrs. Morgan led the
local branch in its war work. The at
tractive home for war workers, with
it's picturesque old garden in west
X street which is still filled with col
lege woman war workers, is one OF
the wartime accomplishments IN
which the association takes pride,
1t is to Mrs. Morgan that the asso-
citation women are most indebted for
their national clubhouse. The club
building is handsomely equipped and
ready for the formal opening.

Each day the same scene was re-

you are killing us with your verse
making. To think that at your age
you are still absorbed with such non.
sense! You would better think or
saving your soul!'
Then poor Sixte Bouvresse would
sink into the depths of his chair. and
whether Nirginie brought him the
book which she had maliciously hid
away or whether she remained obsti-
nate and swore that she had never
seen it. he would lift his trembling
finger and say.
''Virginie! Virginie! You take ad.
vantage OF me now. But 1 shall get
even with yor."
AS he had said that for sixty yea rs.
l supposed that he would never get
even. But in that I was mistaken.
sixte Bouvresse died. Or rather, no.
he didn't die: for dying IS a tragic
and violent act. which pre-supposes
serious struggle, a fierce and cruel
combat. One night he stopped breath
ing. That was all. His departure
caused much grief. for he was good,
gentle and patient. Virginie, espe-
cally. was in despair. At bottom she
really loved her husband. Besides, it
was the end Of everything for her.
She would never find anybody else to
persecute and tyrannize over.
Mme. Bouvresse belonged to an old
and prominent family in the town
the Galonards. This family owned in
the cemetery q magnificent vault, sur
mounted by an angel OF life. size-.f

pricked her, that her family could
offer her husband so luxurious q hos.

has branch organizations in many sec

work OF its own choosing but largely
through cooperation with one or more
Of the national committees. The work
Of the branches Is as varied AZ their

the finest achievements OF college
women in this country have been ini-

translated from the French 10y william L..
McPhersou.
ONCE knew an old poet.
His Name was Sxte Bouvresse
He was eiehty-two years: and
when | climbed 10 the fourth floor
OF his house in the Provencal city in
which l then lived | found there little
men, all dried up and shriveled his
flesh stretched like drum head over
his meager bones, his skin yellow and
covered with chestnut -colored blotches.
His black and still flashing eyes looked
like two drops of coffee. under his
scrawny brow. He wore an old cloth
cap. He held out to me a cold and un-
steady hand and greeted me in a fare
voice, shrll and cracked, like that OF a
music box of a century ago
My friend Sixte Bouvresse had meyer
achieved fame. His numerous poems
hadn't found readers beyond the circle
Of his personal friends. 1t wasn't that
he lacked talent. But he hadn't any
originality. Like so many others, he
initiated Victor Hugo or Victor de
I.aprade. But the obscurity in which he
lived and wrote was matter OF indiffer
ence to him. He sang for the pleasure
Of singing. In that respect he was a
true poet, or rather a cigale, one Of
those cigales Of the Midi, intoxica ed
with its warmth anu sunshine.
used to read to Sixte Bouvresse the
poets whom | loved. He didn't under
stand them very we'll. But he nodded
his head gently and admired them un-
Questioningly. II he didn't grasp the
meaning Of the pieces he at least recog
nized certain words. Crepuscule, aurore.
automne, melancolie. He had used
them himself in his time, and was glad
to hear them again.
Sixte Bouvresse might have been per-
fectly happy except for the fact that he
was married. And l am not sure that
he was altogether unhappy with his
wife. She had crossed him. plagued him
and tyrannized over him for sixty Ave
years. I suppose that he must have
been very weary Of her But he never
said word about It, She was a tall,
thin, overtalkative person with a mass
Of gray hair. She hadn't q positively
bad disposition and wasn't altogether
lacking In heart. But she was very
much occupied with household affairs
too much So in fact-and couldn' t
imagine that any one could be interested
in other things. Above all, she hated
books and poetry.
Sixte Bouvresss loved them to such a
degree that one of his passions was to
acquire . model library and then present
1t to the municipality Of some town or
borough In Provence. Since he was a
native Of Peynser. his first gift was to

PROTEST IS SUSTAINED.
Fart of Giants-PhiIs Game of July Must
 Be RepIased, 1t Is Decided.

New York, Aug. 1s.--President John A. Heydler, of the National League. yesterday sustained the protest of the Philadelphia club on the game played between the Giants and the Phillies at the Polo Grounds on the afternoon of July ,. The play which the protest was made occurred in the sev- enth inning, when Umpire Mccormick al- lowed double play infield fly. He declared this was misinterpretation of the rules.
 With one man out, Stengel on second and Fletcher on first, Wrightstone hit high fly back of short which Umpire Harrison ruled infeld fly and declared the bats out. Left-Fielder Burns, apparently not hearing the umpire, made attempt to trap the ball. Bancroft moving out of his way The ball fell to the ground, Stengel advancing to third. Fletcher was called out when the ball was fielded to Doyle second, Base Umpire Mccormick declaring the runner forced out.
 This decision was clearly the result of misinterpretatfon of the playing rules, says MT. Heydler, the force automatically lost when the infield fly was called.
