Russian ballet girls are being per mitted to enter the learned profes sions. A special commission to pre pare reforms in the former “imperial,” now state, theaters, has pronounced for abolition of the sys Lem under which a ballet pupil could never be anything but a ballet dancer. At the age of nine years many girls enter the ballet school of the Marln sky theater and spent their childhood learning to dance, receiving scarcely any general education, and were or dered to go on the ballet stage. If they refused they were excluded from r all except the lowest occupations. In the future, girls who have passed through the ballet school will be con sidered as having received a complete six-class secondary schooling, and will thus be qualified to matriculate in a weman’s university and become doc tors, lawyers, engineers and techni cians.

An Irishman employed in a large factory had taken a day off without permission and seemed likely to lose his job In consequence. When asked by his foreman the next day why he had not turned up the day before, he replied: “I was so ill, sir, that I could not come to work to save me life.” “How was it, then, Pat, that I saw I you pass the factory on your bicycle during the morning?” asked the fore man. Pat was slightly taken aback, then regaining his presence of mind, he re plied : “Sure, sir, that must have been wheji I was going for the doctor.” —Pitts- burgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Sublime Orders.
