The ball was a triumph. The ladies

that the king had bought up; the grain,

AS soon as he got well he kicked

To retain her influence, Pompadour
started q series of private theatricals,

.Really, I don't know" was the
reply, land have seen them every
year for nine years"
II COLLEGE men do not know what
the various gowns and hoods stand
for. the person who is not college
bred is likely to know less, and the
increase in the number Of students
in our universities makes things
academic of wider and wider i'm
portance.
University gowns are different in
different institutions, but all over
the country and indeed all over the
English world certain dis
tinctions hold. Most OF these funda-
mental distinctions may be pointed
out as follows:
The ordinary bachelors gown. the
first that the college youth owns. is
of unadorned black with pointed
sleeves and Is usually of serge or
some other simple black stun, Tho
masters gown is like it in that 1t Is
plain black. but the sleeves are diff
ferent, being made with long pen
dants shaped not unlike fishtails and
hanging from the elbow nearly to
the bottom of the gown. It may be
made Of silk, as also may be the
bachelors gown. It may be worn by
a man of long academic standing who
has happened to receive no higher
degree, but the ordinary youth would
not display himself in silk.
Many doctors gowns, especially in
England and Scotland. have hoods
which give them distinction and
mark. In the difference OF color. one
kind Of a doctorate from another.
Some years ago q commission was
formed to establish q regular system
in American universities. The ef-
fort was somewhat successful. and
this in -general il the result of their
attempt to codify the different hoods.
The department OF faculty OF learn
ing IS shown by trimming of color
round the hood. Arts and letters are
represented by white. theology by
scarlet, law by purple. philosophy by
blue. science by gofd.yeliow. fine arts
by brown. music BY pink. and medi-
cine by green. In some institutions

TT may interest the general public
to know that the ground along the
water front was in litigation for
about twenty years, and it was finally
decided by the Supreme Court that it
belonged to the government. The
findings of the court, however. gave
almost universal satisfaction, and
practically all tho people who claimed
! ground were recompensed in some
manner. As it is now, the water
front from the north side of NJ street
north is set aside for commercial pur-
poses, and south Of that boundary for
general use, under the jurisdiction Of
the head of public buildings and
grounds.

For some time we had been miss

on any of the culprits. had noticed
from time to time that when these
youngsters were out fishing they
would make it point to draw close
to a launch now and then. One day
I noticed that two of them were pad

struck me as rather odd and I gave
chase, when the youngsters dug in for
the arsenal grounds. The first two
we captured refused to give any in
formation, but the third boy, when
confronted by a strong-armed and
irate parent. gave away the whole
thing. This broke up the Capt. Kidd

below the office of the harbor

some Of the steamers that go to the
Virginia and Maryland summer re-
sorts. Just to the south is the dock
where the Rartholdi is moored. This
boat last year was used to transport
golf enthusiasts and others across
the river. A step southwark brings
one to the headquarters Of the naval
reserve forces of the District. Here
the future Farraguts, Deweys and
Perrys gather for Instructions. The
reserve is provided with subchaser
and an Eagle boat, and during the
summer season the men Of the Dis
trict naval forces indulge in practice
cruises and other forms of instruc-
ton. Then comes the Army pier. at
which docks the steamer that con-
veys the men to and from the Army
stations along the Potomac.
South of this are the beautiful
grounds of the arsenal, containing
the officers quarters and historic
buildings, while at the point is the
War College, where the majpr and
the colonel and sometimes the gen.
eral, too, go to school to work on
those mysterious something's known
as war plans.
