Win Student Honors,
Of the 19 girls sent up from Isa
bella Thobiirn college, Lurknow, India,
for the government examinations, 18
passed. One of the girls stood second
In the province, ahead of lOiK) boys,
and another stood sixth in the list.
Both have won government scholar
ships, for at last a gr&nt-ln-ald has
been given of f COO a yenr. Miss

got the news the college girls ran up
Into the clock-tower and set the bell

Insuring Women.
Commenting on the well-known
aversion of life Insurance companies
to taking risks on the lives of women,
Dr. A. S. Knight, In a recent address
before the Harvard Medical associa
tion, gave a curious reason for the
circumstance. "It would seem, on the
surface, that women ought to be a bet
ter risk than men," be said. "They
re not exposed to so many dangers
an the latter, nor prone to so many
excesses, and It Is indisputable that
they attain a higher average age.
Tet experience has proved that the In
surance of women's lives Is a losing
business. The main reason for this,"
says Dr. Knight, "Is a moral one. The
majority of women have rot the same
reason for Insuring their lives as men,
and having much more frequently than
the latter an Intuitive premonition of
falling health, It has been Inferred that
they, or those Interested In tholr death,
seek, to profit by this knowledge.
Among self-supporting women, with
whom there is a real necessity for
Insurance, the case is different, and
such insurance has not been found a
loosing business.
Garnets Again in Vogue. '
Garnets, after a long eclipso, have
come into fashion with a rusJ, and
girls are ransacking their mothers'
Jewelry boxes for auclent garnet neck
laces, buckles and brooches, worn by
grandmamma long ago, and handed
down to descendants who proved rath
er nnappreclatlve of the blessing.
These semi-precious stones are ex
quisitely becoming for evening wear,
when they shine with a brilliant crim
son glow most flattering to the skin
of the wearer. Brunettes particularly
look extremoly well In these stones,
and nothing can be more becoming
than one of the old garnet tiaras still
to be found here and there worn in
a mass of waved dark locks. For day
wear they are rather disappointing,
being somewhat Jetty in effect.
Carbuncles are the uncut variety of
the same stone, large specimens being
ground and polished cabochon fashion.
The resulting gem is handsomer than
h cut garnet, and dearer. It is not,
owever, so fashionable as the masses
jf small brilliant cut stones which
ne generally sees. Garnet buckles
j sometimes used In black millinery
lth excellent effect '
Basketball Denounced.
Miss Lucille Eaton Hill of Wellesley
college startled the New England As
sociation of Colleges and Preparatory
schools by a spirited attack on basket
ball.
As the chairman of a committee of
the Boston Physical Education society,
rather than as a representative of
Wellesley, she pressed her attack on
the game from every approach.
. Basketball, she said, should be
stopped absolutely so for as girls under
the college age is concerned, and it
should be admitted only tentatively,
and under professional supervision, to
a place among the sports open to wo
men of a new age. The physical effects
upon young girls at a critical period of
their growth Into womanhood, the
chances of permanent Injury to beauty
and health, the evil Influence of such
excitement upon the emotional and
nervous feminine nature, and the ten
dency to unsex the player lor she de
clared that the competitive game, with
its traveling about, its exhibitions be
fore mixed audience, and Its cultiva
tion of the win-at-any-coet spirit, was
not womanly, and made neither for
character nor refinement were all
urged against the game for young
girls.
For Its vogue she blamed not so
much these who revelled In play as the
srhool boards and the principals' who
permit and, In some cases, encourage
1U
Petticoat Perfcctloiw
From time immemorial the pottl-
coat has been considered one of the
prettiest and most fascinating gar
ments In the feminine wardrobe, and
one of the articles to which the truly
refined woman gives as much atten
tion as to the gown which covers It
In the first place it must be immac
ulately clean, there must be no frayed
edges or torn rufiles, and It must be
strictly In keeping with the costumes
with which it Is worn. Notwithstand
ing the extravagance exhibited by wo
men who have developed a fad for
wearing expensive petticoats, there
never was a time when they could be
obtained as cheaply or were so well
made. Ranging In price from less than
a dollar to sums of such magnitude
that to the unlimited masculine under
standing of fabrics and workmanship
seem to be beyond all reason and an
additional proof that the average wo.
man should not be intrusted with
money, dainty, perfectly fitting petti
coats may now be purchased of almost
any color, size and material.
There are women a-plenty who d
not ' care for the silk petticoat for
every day wear, but prefer some ma
terial that may be laundered, says the
New York Telegram. Those are not
necessarily white, or any light color,
but of some shade that will harmonize
with the street costume. Forapettlcoat
of this kind black, strangely enough, li
the least desirable color, for the dust
seems to collect moro readily on it and
after a few days' wear the material
begins to look rusty. Madras and even
percales in striped effects are the best
materials for colored skirts, and these
made up with a deep flounce or a
succession of narrow ruffles are inex
pensive, and with a moderate supply
of them a woman may always rely on
having a fresh and dainty looking pet
ticoat on hand.
Old-fnshloned women cling to the
white cambric petticoat with its ruf
fles of line lawn or embroidery and
contend that It is the only skirt that
a gentlewoman should think of wear
ing. But white Is not serviceable for
walking about the streets of a large
city, even in fine weather; the nif
ties soon becomo solid and limp, and
It must be admitted that even a dingy
looking black petticoat is infinitely to
be preferred under those circumstances
to a bedraggled white one.
Fashion Notes.
Strappings of leather and kid are
used on tweed coats and skirts.
Tight, bonod waists, snugly belted in
by a broad girdle are set off by the
sloping shoulder.
The square, military shoulder for
women is no more, and in Its place Is
seen the sloping shoulder.
A silk knotted and chenille fringe,
Intermingled with beautiful furs and
lace, la quite the rage for trimming.
Many of the cloth gowns, especially
the white ones, are trimmed with a
mixture of sKk and chenille fringe In
the same shade.
Stitching Is used In profusion on all
the new costumes and stitched straps
either of the same material or of silk
or velvet In self or contrasting tint
are frequently employed for trimming.
Knitted golf jackets are being made
with revers held In place by large
flat metal buttons; the turned down
collars have pointed end and are fin
lshed with woolen cords and tassels to
fasten the jacket it desired.
Corduroy velvets In brown and deep
Ivory shades are popular because they
are light and yet warm. Suede Is used
for coats for the corduory suits. Par
ticularly becoming are the black,
brown and soft gray shades.
Don't forget that tucks are tremen
dously In vogue on both coats and
skirts. The tucks around the bottom
of the Bltlrts are almost necessary to
give the required flare. Flounces are
very much used on bodies, and rucb-
lngs have their place.
The pelerine Idea Is the dominant
one with regard to wraps for winter.
Low crowned felt bats for everyday
wear show pinked ruches or ribbon in
navy blue, emerald green and red en
circling the crown, the same tints be
ing repeated in the chou that rosU)
uuder the hrlu..
Brown is one of the color leaders of
the season, and it Is particularly ef
fective If combined with two other
shades, ivory being one of them;
mushroom, ivory and lettuce green is
a charming combination, and cboco
lac, Ivory and azalea yellow Is anoth
er artistio blending.

Silk sad Telveta.
Never were silks .more lovely or
more varied. There are a dozen new
weaves, some of the richest showing
disks and figures of velvet ombre of
the color of the ground or a contrast
ing shade. Many of the light-colored
silks are woven with velvet figures,
flowers and leaves of the natural col
ors. Mortele velvets resemble em
bossed velvets, but have gone through
a slightly different process, giving tho
pattern a vague, shudowy effect.
Tlie Flat Muff.
Muffs nre not out In full force until
later. The different styles, however,
aro to be seen. The flat tuuffs predom
