It wa in the fascinating study of family genealogy, seeing that her family tree grew Htrai'ht and true, that Miss Koues became ineoinlly interested in Anierionn history and well posted in it. She became onoof the competitors when the society decided to offer the scholar ship to its members. ' The examination was conducted by Professor Herbert L. Osgood of Columbia university, who last Julio mailed a list of books, which wonld be tho basin of the examination, to each member t the chapter. Nine questions were asked nt the examination, and tho answers, which were made in writing, were handed in at the end of three hours. Tho questions were search ing, extending fur back into the history of England. Professor Osgood has charge of tho course, of study, which is for two years, and tho student will receive a certificate at the close if the examina tions are successfully passed. The course is equivalent to the junior and senior years in the sumo study at Columbia.

In a tiny new house in the northeast ern section of tho city a charming set of college girls huve taken up their abode for the winter. They aro all Johns Hop kin medical students, two having en tered this year, the other having spent their first wiuter in Baltimore lust year. Not curing for the homeless life of a boarding house, they deoiilod to try the experiment of keeping house for them selves, and so far the experiment has . been a most pleasing success. The luuding spirit of this little co terio is Mis Margaret Long, the eldest daughter of the secretary of the navy, tier chum at Smith college, Miss Reed, Is with her, and the other member of the quartet are Mis Siiuia of the olus of '07 of Cornell and Miss Austin, a member of the class of '04 of the Uni versity of Minnesota. The girl are for tunate in having for their chaperon Mrs, Reed from Leyden, N. Y., and Mis Hawley, who rolieve the students from planning how the house shall be carried on. Each of the girls has her owu room famished in her owu pet fusliion. The most of the furniture in the bouse has Nome pleusaut association connected with it through its having beou part of one or another of the girls' room while t college. The Smith college flag ha a prominent pluoe lu Mia Reed's room, and Mis Loug enjoys an armchuir uuu a tea labia which wore part of her room furui'.uro at the same oollege. Tlte dining room, a bright, cheery apartment, especially at mealtime, serves tho don Mo purpose of dining room cm 'I rtnrty. Its floor is stained and is covered with a heavy rug. There i bookcase in on corner and a china ebest in another. Miss Long and Miss Reed have contributed most of the chi na nsed in the establishment. Miss Long's home at Hingham, Mass., is I closed for tho winter, and so is Miss RckI's in the Adirondack nt lyden, N. Y. The home china closets have bci.li robbed of n ine of their choicest contents to adorn the table nt this do lf.lit.'Kl little home. The dainty chii:a mi:) the homo cooking aro two features which contribute Very largely to the hnprincs of tho girls. The pnvniling tones of the parlor draperies and furnishings are olive nnd dnll reds nnd yellows. An inviting conch, piled high with pillows, awaits the girls when they come in from the hospital. A roFiweod desk, a graceful bronze lamp, a tea table, an artistic screen and seine comfortable chairs aro some of the other furnishings. Tho pio tores and ornaments are souvenirs of winters spent abroad. Miss Loug has a pleasant reminder of a year in (iermany in n copy of a Murillo Madonna and in a copy of a picture from tho art gallery nt Munich. Miss Reed's copy of Napo leon ns a lieutenant hangs over tho mantel. A littlo water color, a picture in a carved Florentine frame and a Ty rolean rosnry are other evidences of the artistic tastes of the girls. Baltimore Sun. Woman' Right to Bo t'lT. "Bennty and the Beast; -or, A Worn sn's Right to lie I'gly, " was the title of a paper read by Mrs. Cclia B. White head before tho Rainy Day club of New York recently. "I heard a man say the other day that woman's dress is as inartistic as it is undesirable," tho speaker began, "and it is nn indisputable fact that wo men are dissatisfied with the clothing imposed by fashion in civilized coun tries Tho vast majority of women who are doing roiiio useful work in the world aro crying Oct more und more against it. "Niiw wliil there is little dissent from Iho statement that beauty is a de sirable ; tin 1 i t y in women's clothing, it is true thut if wo have usefulness in dress it will blossom into beauty. "The beast wonld never hnve been beautiful if be bad not first been accept ed for bis goutiness, so it is my belief that woman's dress will never bo beau tiful nntil loved and accepted for its in trinsic merit "hhall not we, my dear Rainy Day sic, learn a lesson from the fable? Let ns find a dress adapted to our wants uud let the question of beauty remain un answered until the more important and fundamental points have been attended to. "But baa won an a right to be ugly? Is beauty her transcendent duty, and is beauty a matter of dress?" Then with scorn: "What an ignoble scramble J. (1. Holland has sot women by saying, 'No wife should allow any woman to appear better dressed in her husband's eyes than herself.' Ho didn't state by what means a wife should prevent the other woman. Think of the awful strain I "There is Judge Tourgee, too, who thinks abont the same. He talked to tho girls of Mount Holyoke on tho immense influence personal adornment had to ward the charm of a woman's manner. Both men emphasize that it is the duty of woman to be beautiful or beautifully dressed, but I firmly believe in woman's right to l.o ugly at certain times and places and under certain circumstances. "I can't prove it, nor can I prove that a woman ha a soul, hut I believe both." Her final advice was: "Lot woman devise a dress that will not hinder her from becoming strong, wise, grand and good. Let it be ever so much of a beast at first, beauty will fiuully murry it, and they'll live happy ever after." A Famous Training Xurso. Miss Linda Riohnrds, who recently resigned Iron the superiutendeucy of the training school of Hartford hospital, has just gone to Philadelphia to take charge of tho University of Pennsylva nia Medical College Hospital Training school. Miss Richards has probably had the broadest experience of uny womun iu tho United States iu establishing train ing schools, both in this uud other lands. She was graduated from the New Englund Hospital Training School For Nurses in IK 7 II, with the first class for nurses organized in this country. Immediately uitur her graduation she was called upon to take charge of tho training school of the Mussuchusotts Ceuerul hospital iu Boston, where she remained four years. At the end of that time she resigued for the purpose of making a geuerul foreign tour and studying foreign hospital uud training suhoul mcthodri. Duriug this trip she became acquaint ed with Florence Nightingale, the fa mous fouuder of truiuiug schools for nurses, uud wus greatly aided by her iu ber investigations, thus obtaining ad mission to many otherwise closed doors. Upon her return to America she assist ed in orguuiziug the Boston City Hos pitul Training school, where she re tuuiued iu oburge until 1884. The American board of commissioners for foreign mission (the Congregational board) theu secured her services, and she wus seut to Kioto, where she organ ized the first training school for nurses bstubliuliud iu Jupuu. Hur work there was eminently successful, and as a re sult thure ure uow severul excellent training schools in that country. Hur health did not permit her to re main in Jupuu, und she returned to this country, since which time she bus been oouiiected with the Peunsylvuuiu Hospi tul For the Insane, the Methodist Epis copal hospital of Philadelphia, the Vis iting Nurse society, the New England buspitul at Bostou, the Homeoputhio hospital of Bostou and the ilurtford botnitul.

Notwith standing that it was stated early in tho season thnt brilliant effects would not be iu vogue, ninny of the handsomest gowns are not only bright, but they aro combined with trimmings which con trast strongly. For example, a gown worn by one of our handsome matrons is built of plum cloth, elaborately embellished with French knots iu the mine tone. Tho bodice is of mirror velvet, embroidered with steel and jet. A yoke is composed of muslin insertion and cherry taffetu. The stock is alsoof the taffeta.

Glass Hats and Uonuets. In contrast to the effects secured by the uso of furs, and ns more in keeping with freaks of the mercury at their ud vent were the glass hats and bonnets which were brought out last month. These absolutely transparent headdress es nro n inon g the most decided novelties which have ever appeared in our mil linery market and while glass wa the substantial material, as in the case of the cloth woven in Venice of spun glass, may seem doubtful, the effect is ns of tho thinnest sheet of the finest plate glass, and there is therefore to need to cavil at the term applied or to question the fabric A large hat of the now shape, with the brim wide, upspriug ing and rounding at the front and the crown medium tall and slightly taper ing, has tho brim formed of leaflike piece of- the glass, terminating in a triple scallop, the pieces joined with a close tucked niching of chiffon in deli cate rose pink, the inching edging the brim and the crown, galloon of pail lettes in tones of rose color encircling the crown and a double Amazon ostrich plume in pink sweeping from each side around to the buck. A glass bonnet is made of three picoes, which joined form a diamond, the greater width passing across the heud from sido to sido, and each point curled bark, the effect of the shape be ing after that of the Dutch bonnets. The pieces are joined under narrow pas semeuttrio of gold bullion studded with pearls and w ide passementerie binds the brim. A rosetto of satin ribbon iu fresh rose color posed at tho left of tho front holds an upright aigrot bunch of curled ends of tho glass, a twist from this rosetto rnnuiufi to n rosette at tho left sido of the buck and a rosetto posod at the right side.
