affair, and that for the future thev aro
going to do something entirely different?
the Idea that a holiday necewarlly

in the mlndj of many people. They leave
their buty cty life, with Ita continued

A famous actor gives his views on this

mlsslble. But the average town-dweller
should try to obtain a certain amount of
rest as well as recreation from the sum
mer vacation and the average gay and
giddy watering-place Is certainly not the
spot to obtain It In these days.
Miss Mabel Russell, the English actress,
gives her opinion. "A real country holi
day Is my Idea of perfect rest," she says.
"I lovs tho country, and the farther I
can get from noisy, smoky towns the bet
ter I am pleased. My Idea of nn Ideal
holiday Is an old-world farmhouse, far
from a railroad station, with a garden, an
orchard and lots of animals. I like to ride
every morning, and not over a Conven
tional road, In conventional riding-dress
but Just anywhere, nrraed In loose, com
fortable clothes and a soft hat. Then In
the afternoons a hammock slung between
two shady trees Is my Ideal of a happy
resting-place."

FOR WOMEN RESUMES
Largest Class in History of
Unique Institution Despite
More Rigid Requirements
The Women's Medical College, the only
Institution of Its kind In the country,
formally win open Its 67th year at 4
o'clock this afternoon with appropriate
exercises In tho college gymnasium at 22d
street and North College avenue.
The class Is thn largest matriculating
since the requirements of the State Ex
amining Board maCe the entrance re
quirements more severe. The college still
further raised the requirements. Lost
year but bno year of collegiate work was
required for admission and this has now
been flxed at two years of collegiate work,
with special work In chemistry, physics
and other sciences required.
The fact that the clans this afternoon
will bo the biggest In the history of the
Institution Is of special significance since
tho American Medical Association made
public figures showing a decrease of SO
per cent. In tho medical students In this
country during the last decade. The
number Is still decreasing. As large as

shown in today's Illustra

able georgette crepes. Such
are the vagaries of fash
ionable deslgners-anythlng
for novelty, and novelty at
any cost!
A smart and decidedly
odd little gown for after
noon occasions comes from
New York, made up by one
or our most successful Im
porters. The fabric Is the
new striped goods Just de
scribed. In a wonderf ul new
shade of deepest midnight
blue. It la adorably simple,
relying on the richness of
the material Itself and soft
bands of Russian squirrel
to give the right effect. The
plain crepe Is evident on
the long sleeves and on
the wide flounce which is
shown at the bottom of the
skirt. The velvet stripes
are combined in such a
way aa to glvo the effect of
a solid piece of velvet at
the sides of the skirt on
tho hips. This Is confined
by means of a plain band
of the velvet, drawn tightly
in to accentuate the new
fitted tendency. Buttons of
the velvet trim the front of
(the blouse, and the cuffs
are edged with the same.
A tunic effect is supplied
by means of the narrow
band of velvet which serves
as a hem at tho bottom of
the skirt, as this tunic line
Is going to be very much In
vogue this winter. Many of
the newest French dresses
show very-much-draped-up
skirts, with panniers, pol

and satins. Colorings are

blouses. Some are striped,
some are checked and some
are like bits of dreams of

roses in pastel shades.
For early fall hats for

proper caper and they are

Mr. Snalt couldn't help laughing at

THE DAILY STORY
Deaf and Dumb Delia
Delia was neither deaf nor dumb. She
possessed, however, a great lack of con
centration which was beginning to an
noy her, as well aa her friends.
"You positively make me tired, Delia,"
her best clrl friend had remarked. "I
have to repeat everything I say to you
and It Is simply because your wits are
wool-gathering and you fall to pay any
attention to what people say."
"Genius," Delia had laughingly told
her. "I must be a real genius."
"If you are," the disgruntled friend hsd
added, "you have no other earmarks ex
cept absentmlndedness. If you wrote weird
tales, painted cubist pictures or did any
thing else to distinguish yourself from
the rest of us ordinary mortals you would
have a right to make people repeat alt
their sallies to your unheeding cars but
you don't,"
At the time Delia had laughed, but
somehow It really had hurt her to know
that she was fast becoming a dreamer
who did nothing. The habit of meditating
and living among the clouds was getting
on the nerves of her friends,
"I need concentration," mused Delia,
"and I need It badly It I am to retain
mv friends."
In consequence, Delia found herself re
flecting on ways and means for acquir
ing concentration. She was not anxious
to try the accepted method of sitting
down and keeping her gazo flxed Intermin
ably at a black disk; It was neither ex-

Of course that made Tommy whirl
around to se who was talking; and thero

time," he said apologetically;" "but I
didn't dare speak while tho ants were
near!"
"Ants were near!" exclaimed Tommy In
surprise. "Would the ants hurt youT"
"Indeed they would!" cried Mr. Spider
fervently. "They would kill met"
Mr. Snail heard the talking and crept
up to see what the matter might be. What
cared he about Introductions when infor
mation was at stake?
"But ants are so little to eat a great
spider person like you," said the snail.
"They like my size." said the spider.
"I'm Just the' creature to do them the
most good. And I saw ants near hero this
morning. If you'll help me look around
and seo that they are gone, we may be
able to talk a minute." Of course Tommy
and the snail looked carefully and were
glad to report no ants In sight. Then Mr.
Spider crept out a bit and talked to them.
"They want to carry mo to their nest
and lay their eggs on me," explained the
spider; "then my body will nourish the
ant babies and "

citing nor appealln to her. Neither did
she care to go about, aa she had been
dolrig, with a frlrfd fixed, on one especial
thing In order to practice concentration.
"I will assume" ah affliction," thought
Delia, "arid try to kesp It In my mind, I
hope, however, t won't make myitH have
anything In consequence. The mind Is ft
powerful agerit In these matters,' She
jondered on the allmepta she mlRht as
sume without damsee to her physical
being, and decided that to be deaf and
dumb would take much control of thought
and yet she could not bring upon herself
the affliction in reality.. Therefore, she
decided to be deaf and aumo.
It would be a trifle aifltcult because
n.ll. -u- rather fond of talking. ' I
will have, to change my boarding house,
she mused, "and go where no on knows
me" .
She gave notice that very day and
looked up another room, where she hoped
there would be plenty of people on whom
she could experiment "I hope they will
not be too nwfully Interesting,'.', sighed
Delia. "It will be dreadful to sit at a
table full of laughing, gabbing people and
be unable to Join them." ....
The place she found was certainly
filled with congenial boarders. When
Delia first took her place at tho table
her new Ideas were on the verge of
falling from her. but she resolutely re
membered the remarks of her friends and
determined to acquire concentration. The
landlady with whom she had arranged
for her room by letter received her In
the dining room and Introduced her to
the other guests.
She was concentrating with atl her
power when the man beside her turned
to the man on his other side and said
under his breath: "Isn't she a peach?
I would like to have a wife who could
be so altogether beautiful and yet one
who would not talk from morning until
nlghf" Ho laughed and glanced quickly
at Delia.
Tho blush that mounted steadily and
surely Into Delia's face brought a quls-
leal light In his eyes. He, however,
turned again to the other man and left
Delia alone to wrestle with her anger
and her most becoming blushes. She
ato so quickly that she felt a trifle sorry
for her digestion, yet It was the only
possible salvation since each moment at
the table was becoming more unbear
able, and she knew that In another fen
moments she would have Jollied that
hnppy chatter and her effort at concen
tration would be forever lost.
When she had bowed her excuses si
lently and hurriedly left the dining room
she heaved a sigh of relief. Delia real
ized that the first meal was the most
trying ordeal. Her afflictions once firmly
established In the minds of the other
boarders, her task would provo. easy.
She wondered Just what they were all
saying about her now, and especially
sho pondered on the young man who
had sat next to her. She knew that
could, she but speak she would endeavor
to make him sorry for the words he had
given utterance to. That way In which
she would mako him sorry brought a
smile In Delia's eyes.
"If he fancies me when I am deaf and
dumb," she mused, "what could I mako
htm feel-lf I wanted to?" Delia real
I 1zed that she was going to want to make
