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.

Clrl Student at Horns.
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

a tea labia which wore part of her room
furui'.uro at the same oollege.

apartment, especially at mealtime,
serves tho don Mo purpose of dining

Reed have contributed most of the chi

Long's home at Hingham, Mass., is I
closed for tho winter, and so is Miss

contents to adorn the table nt this do

which contribute Very largely to the

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

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. During the latter term she or
ganized the Lou ( Island hospital of

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. Another
chic creation is of navy blue benguliue
cut princess. It is without trimming
except ou the bodlco, which opens on
one side and is finished with a baud of
velvet and a rich fall of luce. Charming

cut low, opening over a gnimpeof white
chiffon elaborately made of shirred

dowu the side of the bodice and con

ele;:i.nt gray velvet costume has a plain
skin cut a trifle loug. The coat is long
and t ut in tabs, which are embroidered
with jet nail bends. A high collar of
baby lumb is lined with cream colored
luce, which hangs down in front in a

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

It is ono of the weaknesses of many
nice girls that they do uot fool sure
enough of themselves iu tukiug np em
ployment outsido their homes, but they
must needs otter some excuse or reiterate
the fact thut they are accustomed to
something better. It is a weakness
which brings them little credit from
their confidant. A girl entering a
school for typewriting and stenography
was asked by the other students why
she tiad come to the school. "Are you
taking np stenography and going to
take a position just for fun?" they usk
d. "Why, certainly not," she replied.
"It is too hard work. 1 do uot do hurd
work for the pleasure of it " " We ure
so glud," answered her querists. "The
greater number of tho girls hero say
they huve come 'just for fuu' und will
take positions to 'puss away the time.' "
