 Ramsey and Fred had arranged to room together at Greenfield, the seat of the state university, and they made the short journey in company the fol- lowing September. They arrived hi- larious, anticipating pleasurable ex- elements in the way of fraternity" pledgings and limitations, encounters with sophomores, class meetings, and elections; and, also, they were not ab solutely without interest in the matter of Girls, for the state university was co-educatienal, and 1t was but natural to expect in so broad a field, all new to them, a possible vision of something rather thrilling. They whispered. cheerfully of all these things during the process of matriculation, and signed the registrars book on fresh page; but when Fred had written his name under Ramsey's and plotted it, he took the liberty of turning over the leaf to examine some of the auto graphs of their future classmates, written on the other side. Then he ut- tered an exclamation, more droll than dolorous, though 1t affected to be who'll ly the latter; for the shock to Fred was by no means so painful as 1t was to his friend.
 Ramsey leaned forward and read the name indicated by Fred's fore finger.

He was tired of having to look at her Gas he stated it) and he thanked the Lord that the time wouldn't be so long now until he'd be out of that ole school, and then all he'd have to do he'd just take care never to walk by her house. it was easy enough to use some other street when he had to go down town.
 "The good ole class of Nineteen Fourteen is about gone," he said to Fred Mitchell, who was still his most intimate friend when they reached the senior year. "Yes, sir; it's held to- gether a good many years, Fred, but after June it'll be busted plum up, and hope nobody starts a move to have any reunions. There's a good many members of the ole. class that I can stand and there's some I can't, but there's one I just won't If we ever did call reunion, that ole Yo- cum girl would start in right away and run the whole shebang, and that's where I'd resignl You know.

 This was again his theme as he sat by the same friends side, in the rear row of the class at Commencement, listening to the delivery of the Vale dictory. Thinks she's just sooblime, don't sheI" he whispered morosely. "She wouldn't trade with the Presi-

One of the. most curious illustrations of the working of intelligence in plants is offered by the mistletoe, whose sticky berry, finding lodgment on a tree branch, throws out tiny rOotlet, which tries to pierce the bark and thus obtain a roOthOld. If the bark is too tough, the roOtlet swings the berry over to a fresh spot, and makes an- other trial. In this way such berry has been known to make five jumps in two nights and three days.

DORA YocUM.

Synopsis.-With his grandfather, small Ramsey Milholland is watch ing the Decoration Day Parade" in the home town. The. old gentle man. a veteran of the Civil war. endeavors to impress the young ster with the significance of the great conflict, and many years aft erward the boy was to remember his words with startling vividness. In the schoolroom, a few years afteFwRrd, Ramsey is not distin- guished for remarkable ability, though his pronounced dislikes are arithmetic, 'Recitations" and Ger man. In sharp contrast to Ram sey's backwardness is the precocity of little Dora Yocum. young iady whom in his bitterness he denomi- mates Teachers Pet" In high school, where he and Dora are classmates, Ramsey continues to feel that the girl delights to mani- |. fest her superiority, and the vim dictiveness he generates becomes alarming, eliminating in the reso- lution that some day he will show" her. At class picnic Ram sey is captured bag and baggage by Milla Rust, the class beauty. and endures the agonies of his first love. Ramsey's parents object to Milla and wish he'd taken up with Dora cum. Ramsey kisses Milla. Then MilIa suddenly leaves town.

sole him of great avail, though Fred did become serious enough to point out that university was different from high school.
 "It's not like havin' to use one big room as a headquarters, you know, Ramsey. Everything's all split up, and she might happen not be in a single one of your classes"
 "You don't know my luck Y the af- f1icted boy protested. 'I wish I'd gone to Harvard, the way my father wanted me to. Why, this is just the worst nuisance I ever struckI You'll see 1 She'll be in everything there is, just the way she was back home"
 He appeared to be corrobOrated by the events of the next day, when they attended the first meeting to organize the new class. The masculine ele- ment predominated, but Dora Yocum was elected vice president. "You see?" Ramsey said. Didn't tell you? You see what happens?"
 But after that she ceased for a time to intrude upon his life, and he admit ted that his harassment was less grave than he had anticipated. There were about five hundred students in the freshman class; he seldom saw her, and when he did it was not more than a distant glimpse of her on one of the campus paths, her thoughtful head bent over book as she hurried to classroom. This was bearable; and in the fiattering agitations of being sought, and even hunted, by several 'fraternities" simultaneously desirous of his becoming a sworn Brother, he almost forgot her. After a hazardous month the roommates fell into the arms of the last ''frat" to seek them, and having undergone an evening of outrage which concluded with touch ing rhetoric and an oath taken at midnight, they proudly wore jeweled symbols on their breasts and were free to turn part of their attention to other affairs, especially the affairs of the Eleven.
 However, they were instructed by
 
 whose duty it was to assist in the proper maneuvering of their. young ca reers, that, although support of the varsity teams was important, they must neglect neither the spiritual nor the intellectual by-products of under graduate doings. Therefore they be- came members of the college Y. M. c. A. and of the "Lumen Society"
 According to the charter which 1t had granted itself, the 'Lumen Soci- ety. was an Organization of male and female students"-s advanced" was this university-'for the develop ment of the powers of debate and or atory, intellectual and sociological progress, and the discussion of all mat ters relating to philosophy, metaphys- ics, literature, art, and current events" A statement so formidable was not without a, flushing effect upon Messrs. Milholland and Mitchell; they went to their first "Lumen" meeting in a state of fear and came away little treasured.
 q couldn't get up there," Ramsey declared, q couldn't stand up there before all that crowd and make speech, or debate in a debate, to save my soul and gizzardI Why, I'd just keel right over and haf to be carried out"
 "WeIl, the way understand it," said Fred, i've can't get out of It.. The seniors in the frat said we had to join, and they said we couldn't resign, either, after we had joined. They said we just had to go through 1t, and

after a while we'd get used to 1t and not mind it so much"
 "I willI" Ramsey insisted. q couldn't any more stand up there on my feet and get to spoutin' about sociology and the radical metempsy- 'horus of the metaphysical bazoozum than could fly fyin' machine. Why; D"
 "Oh, that wasn't anything" Fred interrupted. ''The only one that talked like that, he was that Blickens; he's a tutor, or something, and really member of the faculty. Most O the others just kind of blah-blahhed around, and what any of lem tried to get off their chests hardly amount ed to terribly much"

 "Well, the way 1t looks to me-" Fred observed, i've simply got toI From what they tell me, the freshmen got to do more than anybody. Every oth- CT Friday night, it's all freshmen and nothin' else. You get a postal card on Monday morning in your mall, and it says Assignment on it and-and- then it's got written underneath what you haf to do the next Friday night -oration or debate, or maybe just read from some old book or something. I guess we got to stand up there and try, anyway"
 "All right" said Ramsey. "If they want me to commit suicide they can send me one O their ole Assignments I won't need to commit suicide, though, I guess. All I'll do, I'll just fall over in a fit, and stay in it."
 And, in truth, when he received his first Assignment" one Monday morn- ing, a month later, he seemed in fair way to fulfill his prophecy. The attention of his roommate, who sat at a window of their study, was att tracted by sounds of strangulation. "What on earth's the matter, Ram sey?"
 Look! Look at this 1"
 Fred took the card and examined it with an amazement gradually merg- ing into a pleasure altogether too per- ceptible:

again. color 10 rampant; one rarely
sees an all black evening dress. Elabo-
rate evening gowns are certainly out
of place; they are too conventional
for the strange air Of nonchalance that
pervades the city. 1t Is strange enough
but true. however, that metal lame ma
terials are very much worn during the
summer. and In Paris one sees a con-
siderable number of beaded and en-
broidered dresses with crystal beads
and bugles on chiffon. evidently the
last midsummer flair for the unusual
and the ornate. The few that are seen
here distinguish the woman who has
just returned from Paris from the one
who has bought her clothes here. A
lace gown, however. either OF black
lace over white slip or over any other
color for that matter. or of a COM
bination OF chiffon and crepe with
lace. Is always the most attractive
frock for the evening In town.
To touch on the matter of ornament,
earrings are among the tremendous
trifies that possess slender grace
which brings beauty to any costume.
They are feature of the mode, how
ever. which lends itself to abuse.
Pleats are particularly good note
this season. and the use Of them makes
an excellent way Of achieving the ia
vored fullness of skirt without forsaking
too radically the equally approved slim
silhouette. One pretty frock Is Of lark
spur blue mirrorkrepe and Is OF the
straight-lined chemise type and may be
worn without the flounces II preferred.
The wide sleeves and cut steel girdle are
noteworthy.

AIDES of ribbon and small, square steel
beads are the very effective decoration.
Steel beads are much noted just now,
particularly on dark blue crepe de chine
frocks.
One of the most radical differences
between this seasons general fashion
appearance and last years Is the grow
ing tendency for elaboration In after
noon frocks. At the races this year 1t
was noted that American women were
dressed in large majority in elaborately
trimmed and colorful afternoon frocks
rather than in the sports costume OF
last year.
