STUDENT SELF-HELP.
COLLEGE GIRLS EARN MONEY IN
MANY NOVEL WAYS.
Eke Out the Slender Supply from Home l>y
Doing Odd Jobs for Their Wealthier
School Mates —One Shampooed the Other
Girls—Brave Struggles for Education.
Hundreds of young women in vari
ous institutions of learning are the
daughters of men with moderate i\-
comes, who are obliged to make sacrV
flees and exercise the strictest econo
my in order to meet the necessary col
lege expenses. But they are able to
do this, and do not desire their daugh
ters to avail themselves of the various
helps offered by many colleges to ab
solutely needy students, to girls who
must “work their way through.” They
know that the actual work of the
school is enough, and do not wish their
daughters to add to it the burden of
their own support, while they are able
to pay the bills.
Yet when one of these girls gets into
the little college world, she finds there
are many things she wants that she
doesn’t just like to ask her father to
pay for. She knows just what her peo
ple are doing for her in order that she
may fulfill the desire of her young life
and "go to college.” She knows what
her mother is doing without, and what
her father is giving up for her, and,
though young, she is too much of a
woman to add to their sacrifices.
Some of the ways by which college
girls save or earn money are quite in
teresting. For instance, the average
cost of books and laboratory fees is
S3O yearly. But a student can save a
large portion of her book bills by rent
ing the volumes from a student in an
upper class. The fees are very small,
in some .schools only twenty-five cents
a semester for a hook worth $1 and
over, and fifteen cents for one of less
price. Of course, the books must be
returned in good condition to be pass
ed on to another student, and while
the borrower saves by the transaction
the lender adds to her scanty store of
pin money.
A girl conceived the happy idea of
shampooing the heads of her fellow
Students at a less price than was
charged by the professionals in the
town. Now. girls who go in for ath
letics and bath a good deal always feel
the desire of a shampoo for the head
sometimes oftener than is really neces
sary, and it is something they cannot
do for themselves, especially if they
have an abundance of hair. So this
girl has all she can do in her leisure
time, and as she made her clients fur
nish their own towels and soap it wag
all clear gain.
A funny idea, yet eminently practi
cal when one stops to consider it, was
that of a college girl who stretched
new shoes and boots for her well-to
do sisters. She must have had a foot
that would “fit anything," but she did
her work along this line successfully,
and made some money at it, too.
College girls hate to do their mend
ing, and as their clothing is not in
spected by any lynx-eyed matron as
was formerly the custom in the aver
age female seminary, it is to be feared
that they are often untidy in this re
spect. A student who was handy with
her needle, and who was desirous of
such work, was overwhelmed with
mending of all kinds. In fact, she
might have spent all her time in re
pairing if she had chosen to do so. Her
charges were moderate, but she made
a good thing out of it.
Girls in the upper classes are well
paid for tutoring those unfortunates
who are working off conditions. Of
course, they must be good scholars,
and have a talent for teaching. It
helps them,‘too, by keeping them up
in the studies they have left behind,
but which they may be called upon to
teach when they have left school.
It is the custom in some colleges to
post notices on the bulletin boards of
the various pursuits students wish to
engage in to make a little money and
the applications of those needing their
help are generally numerous.
At Wellesley one of the students
“lets car tickets.” Boston is so near
that the students are always running
in for something or other on their
recreation day. Each ticket bought in
a book containing fifty is only-one
half the price of a single ticket. This
student purchases several books, which
she rented to others, charging them
five cents per ticket more than she
paid. So that was a transaction which
did good in two directions. It helped
the one who loaned as well as the one
who borrowed.
Girls Who Were Not Vain.
A telephone exchange manager in
Staunton, (Va.) recently advertised for
"ugly girls that would attend to busi
ness.” There were actually twenty
five who applied for the positions and
confessed themselves qualified to fill
the bill.
A Quaint New Shoe.
One of the “newest novelties" is
gray-leather walking shoes. Occasion
ally these boast red heels, and if the
feet are small and pretty the effect
produced is decidedly quaint and
pleasing.
Flower Cilrls m National Dress.
The girls who peddle floral wears
upon the streets of Berlin are begin
ning to adopt the mediaeval peasant
dress. The result is additional pic
turesqueness in Berlin and additional
flower sales.
Why Women Revel in Red.
Mr. Edwin Abbey calls red the color
of human life and emotions, so proba
bly that definition explains why wo
men care for it so and whenever fash
ion gives them a chance they revel in
it.
English Ladies the Tallest.
English women, as a rule, are tall
er than their American sisters and the
Yankee ladies in their turn can look
down at the gentle sjex in France.
A Progressive Woman.
Kansas, lacking other novelties, now
offers the case of a woman teacher in
her seventies who wants to enter the
Normal School to study new methods.
Bavarian Girin in Bank*.
At Munich, Bavaria, the clerks and
bookkeepers in the banks are nearly
all young and handsome girls.

FIVE O’CLOCK TEA.
Feminine Function Again
in Full Swing.
That delightfully feminine function,
the five o’clock tea, is again in full
swing; and the fragrance of Pekoe and
the murmuring of many tongues fill
the air.
j Thi3 pretty Engi'ah custom has been
1 adopted con amore here, and simple,
indeed, are the habits of a household
where the late afternoon caller fails to
find the “hissing urn” so provocative
of sociability.
The tables most in vogue now are
round, with a shelf underneath to
hold a plate of biscuit or wafers or
the pretty dish of candied ginger or
cherries.
If the waitress can be spared at this
hour, it is her duty to take entire
charge; she must see that there is
plenty of boiling water, have the lem
ons ready to slice, ice water and glass
es ready for serving, and sandwiches
cut. Whatever is served must be light
and delicate, so as not to interfere
with the coming dinner. If there are
biscuit, they must be dry and crisp,
the bread must be as thin as a wafer,
and the butter the very best —prefer-
ably sweet. It may be flavored with
roses, new mown hay, violets, c oves or
nasturtiums, the latter being the most
accessible at this season. A few hours
before serving wrap the butter in a
clean napkin and lay among the flow
ers whose odor is to be impregnated.
Chocolate wafers aie always popular,
or sandwiches made with some delicate'
filling, candied violets, crystallized or
ange leaves, chestnuts boiled and
made into a paste, peanuts, nasturtium
leaves, a paste of dates, or lettuce
crisp and white, moistened with may
onnaise. The sandwiches may 1 e
round, triangular or square, but dainty.
Orange Pekoe is one of the favorite
teas, with its orange or jessamine fla
vor. The linen may be plain or elab
orate, as the purse allows, but must be
spotless; the kettle shining ard the
cups clean. While the tea is usually
served hot, tea punch, or cold Hussi-n
tea, is also in order for the 5 o’clock
tea. An excellent recipe for tea punch
is this, given by Mrs. Gillette, instruct
or in cookery at Pratt Institute:
To the juice of three lemons and
three oranges add the pulp and juice
of one pineapp e, shredded, and one
pint of sugar. Let it stand until the
sugar is dissolved. Take one table
spoonful Ceylon or any strong tea, and
one quart boiling water. Pour the wa
ter over the tea and let it stand until
eold. Strain and add to fruit, pulp
and juice with cue quart apollinaris
water and one box fresh strawberries
or raspberries used whole. Ppup over

Women tolleul Horse.,
There are to be women horse doc
tors. Several have enteieci the New
York College of Veterinary Surgeons.
One of the students is Miss bally J.
Brayton. She entered the regular
elapses this morning. Her father is a
well-known horse dealer at Easton,
Pa. She is a graduate of a normal
college. The college dcors were never
open to women before this season.
Crinoline Mothered ail Invention
A Mrs, Kaye, who has just died near
Leeds, Eugland, invented the metal
boxes in which fares are still deposited
by passengers on omnibuses and horse
cars in Britain and her provinces. Be
fore then turnstiles were used in en
tering cars, and Mrs. Kaye, being in
convenienced by them, as she wore a
crinoline, set her wits to work and
devised the bo*:.
Women Care for Berlin Parks.
Most of the work in the German
parks, as well as on the farms, is done
by women. They clean the streets al
so, and do much other labor that in
America is reserved exclusively for
men. There are over 600 women on
the pay roll of he municipal go-, e.n
ment in Berlin, and most of them are
employed at eftdepr laber.
Duties of FructionMl Wives.
The King of Annam has about 100
wives, who are divided into nine class
es, according to the station of life in
which they were born. Five of them
act as his assistant personal attend
ants, and one of their most important
duties is the care of his majesty's
finger uadis, which are as long as the
fingers themselves.
A Woman lkacl uf Trade.
Sante Fe, N. M., is said to he the
only city in this country with a Board
of Trade composed entirely of women
members. They attend to all matters
of business relating to the good order
of the city and its sanitary condition,
receive and welcome strangers, and en
tertain all celebrities.
Have School Gowiia Simple.
School gowns should be simple be
fore all else. Both the Norfolk and
the blouse models are admirable.
Plaids, either as entire costumes or in
combination, make an excellent effect
and have the additional merit of wear
ing well.
Up to Date and Out of Date.
There is a fad for putting a bow of
ribbon p.n the left side of the waist
just below the sleeve, but don't use
ribbon with a nairow velvet eige, as
it is entirely cut of dale,
T%vo Veils Ail Fait.
To be deemed absolutely au fait a
woman must wear two veils, and
neither one of them must look as
though it were pinned on with any
view to neatness.
A I'retty Brooch.
Colored stones, cut in heart shape
and mounted as brooches, are exceed
ingly pretty, especially when sur
mounted by a crown of pearls.
Mother, ami (iiiiu Dressed Alike.
In France about 120 years ago it was
the fashion for mothers and their little
girls to dress exactly alike.
Hinged Side C ombs.
The latest side combs come in sets
of three or four and are hinged to

Woman at the Forge.
There is a woman blacksmith in New

HIS FOOLISH PRESUMPTION.J
The Votin g Lady llim That He Had
Made a Mistake.
“No,” said Evangeline Glendenning,
as she looked down at the floor and
nervously twisted her slim little fin
gers; "no, Alfred, I am sorry, but it
cannot be.” |
Alfred Doncaster had loved the beau
ful girl from the moment he had first
seen her, and he had fondly believed
that she looked upon him with more
than ordinary favor.
But now his hopes lay shattered, and
the future stretched out black before
him.
The strong, handsome young man
sighed, and was silent for a long time.
At last the sweet maiden said:
“Try to be brave, Alfred. Look at
me. Pee how I am bearing up.”
He timed toward her in wonder,
and said:
“Why should you bid me do this?
What have you to bear up under?”
“Oh, Alfred, if you only knew!”
“Evangeline!” he cried, catching her
in his arms and holding her in a
strong embrace, “you love me! Ah,
darling, you cannot hide the truth
from me! Tell me it is so.”
“Yes,” she said, “I love you, Alfred.”
“O heaven,” he groaned, “this is ter
rible, terrible. Oh, if you only hated
me —loathed ms! Then my fate would
he less hitter.” i
She was frightened, and drew away
from him.
“Why,” she asked, “do you want me
to hate you?”
“Ah,” he answered, “I might bear
! my own burden, but how can I sur-|
vive knowing that you, too, suffer?"
“Yet, why should either of us suf
fer?” the trembling girl inquired.
“Evangeline,” he almost hissed,
“do not jest with me! Why should we
suffer! Are we not doomed to ever
lasting seperation and misery? Are
I we not to be—”
“Oh,” she interrupted, “you’re not
going to let a little bluff stop you right
at the start, are you? Did you want
i me to tumble into your arms the first
thing, as if I had merely been waiting
for the word? You must be new at
this business.”
Then she became so angry that it
took Alfred Doncaster nearly seven
minutes to win her back again.

Potaon-H linger.
More than the hunger after bread,
more than the frenzy of love or hatred,
the poison-hunger overpowers every
other instinct, and even the fear of
death. In Mexico, the surgeon of the
Second Zouaves was one night awak
ened by the growling of his spaniel,
and thought he saw a man crawling
out of his tent. The next day the cap
tain informed the company that some
feilow had entered the hospital camp
with burglarious intent, and that he
had instructed the sentries to arrest
or shoot all nocturnal trespassers.
About a week after the doctor was
again awakened by his dog, and lights
ing a match he distinguished the figure
of a large man crawling from under
his table and carrying a large book.
He called for him to stop, cocking his
pistol at the same time but the fellow!
made a rush for the door, and in the
same moment was floored by a ball
that penetrated his skull. He lived
long enough to confess his desperate
enterprise. His regiment had been
stationed a£ Algiers, where he learned
to smoke opium, and having exhaustr,
ed his supply and h.s financial re
sources, he felt that life was no long-j
er worth living, and resolved to risk
it in the attempt at abducting the
doctor’s medicine chest.

As a positive cure for sprains,bruises,
and pains of all kinds, Salvation Oil

(iratiof .\ve,, Petroit, Mich., writes:
“I used Salvation Oil in my family
and can say it lias no rival as a lini
ment; it certainly cures pains. I
sprained my ankle and it cured me
and since then I have always used it
for any pains and bruises.” Salvation
Oil is sold for only 25 cents. No other
remedy will do the work as promptly.
Queer Ways to Meet Wedding Expenses.
The problem of how to meet the ex
penses of a honeymoon has driven
many a man into a queer corner. And
in this strait a resourceful medical std*
dent last year sold his body to the hos-|
pital where he was working, receiving
$125 for it. The sum gave the young
pair a nice little holiday, and they are
both too healthily constituted to sea
any morbid suggestion in the means by
which it was raised.
About three years ago a young engi
neer in Liverpool, England, wanted
very badly to get married, but was
in a fit of desperation, he sat down 1
and thought out an invention, wbiclj'
was bought by the firm the following
faced by the old difficulty of how to
manage the honeymoon. One night, 1
morning for £3O. It has since realized
thousands. But the young inventor is
quite satisfied to have had his honey
moon paid for so easily, and has never
received another penny out of it.

| WOMEN RIDING ASTRIDE.
A Habit for Crona-Hlden That is Roth Neat
and Modest.
"The management of the Chicago
> horse show made a concession to the
■ ‘new woman.’ This concession no
' other city in the country, except per
; haps Louisville, Ky., or San Francisco,
I would applaud. The reason is that in
• no other city are there as many wo
• men of recognized social position and
1 wealth who are ‘cross-riders’—that is,
i who ride astride instead of in the
cramped, ungraceful position hereto
. fore declared to be the only proper
i way for a woman to ride.”
The above remarks were due to the
, fact that the horse-show management
, offered a cash prize for cross-riding—
this being the first time a prize for
1 such riding had been offered in this or
any other country.
THE CROSS SADDLE RIDING IIARIT.
The chief objection to the cross sad
dle for some time was the difficulty in
finding a habit that was both neat and
modest. Mrs. H. P. Colgrove of Chi
cago, who is an enthusiastic horse
woman, first saw the cross saddle on
exhibition at a horse show in 1895.
Deciding immediately that it was a
sensible thing, she adopted it. Find
ing no tailor who cou'd provide her
with a satisfactory habit, she began
experimenting at home, and finally in
vented a habit that is now wom by
nearly every cross rider in the coun
try. It may be described as a long di
vided coat over a tolerably full d vided
skirt. It is modest and becoming, and
when seen from a distance, viewed
from either side, it appears that the
rider is mounted sideways. When dis
mounted the two skirts are b ttoned
together so that the casual observer
would fail to detect anything unusual
abort the skirt. The coat closely re
sembles the old style “redingote," ex
cept that at the waist it is fitted with
many darts and with different curves
than the older garment. The divided
skirt worn underneath is made in the
usual fashion, except that the seat is
arranged in diamond shape and the
fullness at the back is more pronounc
ed. A rubber strap well toward the
front of the skirt is passed over the
foot, thus preventing it from blowing
up with every gust of wind and expos
ing the rider's foot and boot.
Since the advent of the cross-saddle
habit it is a noticeable fact that the
high silk hats have disappeared. The
soft felt or Fedora better suits the cos
tume, and is certainly more becoming
than the tile. A new fall style in rifl
ing hats has a brim shaped closely to
the head and a four-inch crown. It is
to be made of the same cloth as the
habit.
I No Royal ltoart to Storking-Dai-nlnf-.
The occupation of darning stockings
is one of the few which, according to
a writer in a Philadelphia paper, has
not yielded to modern progress and in
vention: "A brilliant woman of our
acquaintance says: ‘I think Gall
Hamilton uttered a gospel truth whqq
she said the wise woman kept only one
| pair of stockings darned ahead. If
you sit down with basketful, you
groan. But if you mend hose only as
you need them, the reason for it is
so obvious that the task becomes noth
ing. Moreover, there is no royal road
in darning. Did I tell you about that
little weaving-machine I bought with
such joy, expecting to revolutionize
the weekly job? All you had to do
was to attach it under the hole, pass
threads back and forth anmo.dcmf m
nickel shuttle. I spent one entire day
trying to attach it to the hole accord
ing to directions, The threads
wouldn’t work and the shuttle was a
beast! About four o’clock I lay down
on the floor too exhausted and demor
alized to dress for dinner. I was full
of wrath and cursings. Next day I
took the thing back, and the sales
woman, while she could not refund the
money, thanked me for my forbear
ance. She said most people threw the
thing at her head, Men wpre espec
ially vicious, They were in a broad
grin when they purchased, but came
back storming. She had never heard
of anybody who successfully wove the
hole shut.
“ ‘No; there is no royal way. But
what might be called the vice-royal
way is simply to mend one pair ahead
as you need them. It would horrify
tne grandmothers, but it is entirely
up to date.’ ”
Astride-Riding; Saddles.
A Boston firm publishes a conspicu
ous advertisement qf astride-riding
saddles for ladies. It is no longer an
uncommon sight to see women riding
astride, nor does there seem to be any
sound objection to that method of rid
ing for women who like it. But it is
not as pleasing as the old method, at
least not in its present development,
with a divided skirt costume. Boots
and breeches might help it as a spec
tacle.
Golf and Sex,
A cheerful point of view in regard
to golf tournaments for women is that >
taken by a student of modern life. The
idea is that the development of genu
ine outdoor rivalry, where sex-person- !
ality is eliminated, is most improving
to the feminine spirit.—Boston Trans
