ficient for her ransom beneath the roots
of a tree, but she decided to remain
the wife of Thymr and goes down in
history as one of the famous women of
Iceland.
The next step in the evolution of En-
nestine was Arnthora. and later Annora,
who was the wife of Bernard de st,
Valeyr. Her name was carried into
the family of Braose by King Johns
victim Maude de st. Nalery who
called one of her daughter Annora.
The masculine Ernesto, which pre-
coded Ernestine directly, appeared first
in I4ombardy in the year 752, through
Markgraff of Austria, Ernst spread all
over Germany after the reformation,
and it was Germany which finally
formed the feminine Ernestine. Though
still in great vogue there, it has of late
years been contracted to Slime, or Tine,
or sometimes Erna.
Bohemia calls her by the elaborate Ar
nostinka. but England and America
took her over as Ernestine, and pre-
serve her as such

Have girls changed in the past few
years? Well, l should say the types are
the same, They always will be, but they
are doing different things nowadays"
Thus spoke the professor of English in
a Western college, to some of the older
graduates She went on to tell just
what were the differences between the
modern college girl and the one of a
few years back.
Among other things she told how
many more girls were taking political
science and economics than heretofore
Gymnasium classes aesthetic dancing
courses in public speaking, seCTetarial
courses, business or administration
courses, and financial courses are all
much more popular in women's colleges
than they ever were before. The girls
who used 70 take Greek, Latin, essay
and poetry courses are turning to these
more modern subjects.
The most interesting observation that
the professor made, however, was con-
corning the frivolous, the butterfly type
Of girl who only went to college to pass
the time until she could take up her
place in society. She admitted that the
type still existed. although there were
fewer such girls than ever before. They,
too, it seems, have changed their choice
of subjects. They used to take the easy
courses. And when those gave out they

AS Woman Thinks
GIRLS HAVE CHANGED.

took music, French. art and other fin
ishiug school subjects.
Today they are surprising the older
professors by taking household economy
and domestic science. Colleges which
are offering these courses find the
classes in them oyercrowded. The Eng
fish professor stated that in her particu
lar institution almost without exception
the girls who We're taking the house
hold sciences were those who did not
have to make their own way in the
world. The courses were usually known
as rather "stiff' and there were many
afternoon laboratories and other fea-
tures which never used to appeal to the
girls. but yet they flock to them now.
Whatever the reason for this change,
1t certainly deals a blow to the pessi-
mistic people who claim that the mod
eTn woman. particularly the college
woman, is growing away from the home
and home duties.
This is a bit of information for those
people who claim THAI college does not
fit girl for marriage and often spoils
her for it, making her too Independent
and self-satisfied The head of the do
mestic science department in that col
ege is bewailing the fact that of her
graduates SO many are married that she
can not fill the demand for teachers,
cafeteria managers and aeticians.
