The Passir
A STUDY IN FEMINir
By RUTH
On a crisp afternoon in carly au
tumn Juno was watkins across tho
campus. Tho Greek professor when
she entered tho ( lass room greeted her
as Miss Lawrence, ?ind in tho registry
her Christian nanu- was Eleanor. But
if you had watched her progress down
the straight path, you would know
why the girls called her Juno. They
had given h^r tho name in her fresh
man year. Now she was a senior and
it fitted her still better. She was tall.
There was rhythm in her motion, and
vigor, as If ail her muscles had been
developed tn harmony. Her head turned
the least bil to enc sido and slightly
tilted backward, the erect shoulder.;
and straight hack, thc grace and pease
of the whole body as sic.' walked all
befitted a goddess. Her hair was
black. It was parted and coiled loose
ly just above tiie line of her neck with
out breaking the nut'irai contour of
the head. The eyes ice were dark ar 1
the cheeks rosy. Ii was in color?n,
rather than in beauty of feature thal
thc charm of her face lay.
As Juno opened lier Iliad and knotted
ber brows. Mary Tilton. watching her
in a corner, felt like protesting against
the inflictions of" education. Theoreti
cally, to be sure, there was propriety
enough in Juno's leading the Iliad;
nothing couh] have suited her style
better, Dut Juno had displayed no af
finity for Cree]: nor for any other
branch of learning. It seemed to Mary
preposterous that such a girl should
bc made to mope over boaks. It would
be quite as sensible tn capture o young
deer and compel it tc study loaar'hms.
Juno belonged cut of doors. She should
be free. It ought to be enough for
anybody to see her a beautiful, strong,
natural being. Juno would have en
dorsed Mary's views if they had come
up for consideration. She had not
formulated any like them in her own
mind, but she live.', up to them. She
placed no strain upon ber intelcct will
ingly. She fell in cordially with na
ture's plan regarding her person. Such
aid? to its realization as thc morning
plunge, a full a?owaiic" of exercise in
the open air, and nourishing food, she
employed generously. She took pains
that her dressmaker should acquiesce
in the designs that seemed to have
been conceived in Paris with special
refrence to her figure. The beauty cf
her hair was enhancd at home by the
.activities of her maid; at college it
^wgSjMfagy Tilto who delighted to brush
it i 11 i irlTir^* r^io dit? not revel
selfishly in her nattn^r^iTr?cTrv?nb^s!"^
She was perfectly willing that others
should enjoy it.
As the class left the room. Juno and
Mary walked away arin in arm. It was
the last recitation in thc afternoon.
"Come out for a walk," Mary sug
gested. "Let's have supper cn ihe hill.
We can wrap up warm."
"You always know just what wiH
suit me. Mary," said Juno. "I want
to get off somewhere, and have a
chance to think.'
Mary looked up in vague alarm. She
never before had known Juno to want
to think. Lut siie said nothing.
When Juno reached her room she
threw her Iliad on the desk and her
self on a couch, where she lay with
eyes closed, her hands clasped over
her head. Mary Tilton meantime ran
up two flights of stairs to ber room.
She extracted from the larder, which
is more requisite a part of a college
girl's room than a de k, four eggs.
These she put on the gas stove to boil.
"Twenty minutes." she said to herself;
"Juno won't eal them unless they are
hygienic." Then she ran down the two
flights to a small grocery store that
thrived under the cotlcgc roof on the
patronage of thc students, to mount
once mon; with the materials for sand
wiches, fruit, and a jar of milk. The
college supper bell was ringing when,
lunch basket, in hand, sho knocked at
Juno's door. The "Come!" sounded
drowsy.
"Did I wake you up?"' asked Mary
contritely.
No matter. I'm ready. I was dread
fully tired, a'd I don't want to look
played-out tom ?rrow."
"Anything special?"
"Kent is coming."
"I thought you forbade him to come
again,' rose to Mary's lips. What she
said was: "You'll have a good time."
"On tho contrary." tait! Juno, "he
bores mc a good deal."
The next day was Sunday. The girls
did not meet until evening. Mary spent
thc holiday in the library working up
history topics. There was no evidence
in Juno's Munday recitation that her
friend had confined her exertions tc
her town subject. At an early hour ir
the afternoon Kent Thorpe was showr
into the college drawing room. Tht
fortunate circumstance that his great
grandfather had married Eleanor Law
renee's great-grandmother establisher
a blood relationship between studen
and guest that made it within th<
bounds of college discipline for then
to leave the building toge!!.er. As the;
did so, it was observed from severa
windows that the tall stranger witl
fair skin and ha>r and manly bearins
did not look out. of place beside June
They did not return until sundown
During tho evening they conversed yr.

A spectator would have d<_ ectoil a mb

that she hardly could have introduce

staccatos of admiration. "His article
isn't so good." Juno admitted, "but I
can put it into shapo for bim."
.Alary repressed her surprise at this
budding of literary criticism. "Mas be
gone?" she asked.
"No. He missed the train. He tele
phoned that he would come again to
morrow."
.Mary grinned behind thc screen of
Juno's hair. "Theu look out for tomor
row," she said soberly.
"Nonsense!" said Juno.
At io o'clock, according to college
rules, every light must be out. On the
Sunday night after Kent's second call
Juno obeyed, and so did .Mary. Hut
when Juno, in a loose gown and soft
slippers, rapped on Mary's iloor she '
I found her friend similarly arrayed and j
perched on a high window scat in thc I
j moonlight. She climbed up beside her |
and laid head in her lap.
"Have you come to tell me anything, J
Juno?" asked Mary roguishly.
"Certainly not." Juno spoke severe
ly. "I don't feel like talking at ai!. I
never shall marry him," she asserted
with contradictory irrelevance.
Mary ran her lingers through the soft
hair. She said nothing.
"He's just my ago," remarked Juno,
"and stunning to look at."
"Well?" Mary ventured.
"He is awfully fend of golf and walk
ing and all that."
"Well?"
"He says we have tho same tastes tn
music and books and such thing-."
"Very likely." asserted Mary. If
Juno should develop any predilections
at all in those directions, it seemed
likely that they would follow Mr.
Thorpe's.
"Hut I don't care for him. Besides.
I never could stand being tied down
even if I did love anybody."
'".Vhat does he say lo that?"
"He says he will make mc. He S?iys
I should be freer than ever."
"He doesn't know her." thought
Mary.
"But he doesn't really care for me."
Juno explained. "He is misled because
he never happened to como ac ross my 1
type before."
"Some of that is true," sahl Mary,
adding to herself, "and he won't again.''
"There are quantities of ether wom
en that would he just as congenial and
stimulating to him if he knew them."
"Then it is your duty to tell him so."
"I tried tot but he interrupted me."

"It wasn't very nice. He said 'Damn |
the other women!' "
On Monday afternoon Mary found j
Juno bending over the manuscript <'f
Mr. Thorpe's article which hy free use ;
of a pencil she had rendered absolute- i
ly illegible.
"When on earth did you do all that?"
she asked.
"I've done nothing else all day.
There! road it and sec if you think
of anything else to do io it. I have
been over it so many linu s thal I know !
it by heart. I simply cannut luuk at it
again.
Mary took up the sheets.
"No, give it to me!" said Juno. "l il
read it to you. I'd like to."
"Why did you.do all that?" asked
Mary boldly.
"I don't know. Yes, I do too. I want
him to know how much I care for him
as a friend."
On Tuesday Juno rcreived a letter.
To the judicial mind the gratitude that
.it expressed might have seemed ex
cessive. "It was too good of you to
bother over my miserable art if le. dear.
Yes, dear, dear. dear. I will MW it
Flow can I ever thank you enough?
And not for that only. How can I tell
you what your grand, sweet, womanly
nature has done for me? Oh. Eleanor,
I love you. Yes. I will say that too."
On Wednesday, as Juno came out
from thc college postofHce with Mary,
she said; "I'm not used to getting so
many love letters a day. Do I love
him?"
"No," said Mary, decisively, "you
don't."
Juno looked relieved. "He wants to
come up again on Saturday." she said,
"but I have written him not to. I was
good, wasn't I?"
"Very," said Mary.
On Thursday Mr. Thorpe wrote that
thero were some points in his article
that they positively must talk over to
gether. "I shall he firm. Mary," said
Juno. "It wou't ?lo at all for him to
come."
"Why, Juno?" and Mary looked into
Juno's eyes.
"He goes to California next month,"
pursued Juno, evasively; "probably I
never shali see him again."
Friday was Juno's afternoon at
home. She always served tea to thc
girls. When Mary arrived the couch' s
and chairs were filled and several
guests were on the floor. Heals of
laughter announced that Juno was en
tertaining the company with her own
version of some incident in college lifo
She never appeared more brilliant oi
more irresponsible. Mary, who al
ways slipped into a corner on tliesi
occasions, sat watching her friend wist
fully. She could see in thc vivacious
face no suggestion of the week's sieg'
that Juno's heart had undergone

Mary Tilton found thc history topics
rich in suggestion that Saturday. In
place of Man- Queen of Scots, sho
would see Juno; Sir Philip Sidney
gave place to Kent Thorpe. At sup
per Juno's seat was empty. Mary
found her in her room in an attlturio
of dejection. Her face was the picture
of despair.
"What now?" Mary tried to speak
gayly.
"He has gone."
"To California?"
"No, to his hotel."
"Then you have not parted for all
time?"
"I should think not," cried Juno.
"Oh. Mary!" and the goddess hurst
into tears.
Mary was to say thc least perplexed.
Mr. Thorpe had expressed a strong de
sire to come. Juno had summoned li i ni
of her own will. He had promptly rc
sponded. Now she wept because he
had not gone. Whatever thc reason,
it was sufficiently agitating to see Juno
in tears She somehow suspected that
tears, in thc case of Juno, meant down
fall. It was the first time that she had
:,een her cry.
"Ifs hideous:" Juno proclaimed, ns
soon as she could speak. A comical
look aided her a-; she removed thc
trace.: of tears. .Mary waited In silenco
for further enlightenment. "Ifs sim
ply hideous." Juno repeated, "to adore
anybody as I do him."
"Then you will go to California with
him?" Mary smiled as she spoke.
"N.i. but only because he has givr-a
up going. I would go to the moon with
him if ho wanted me to."-New York
Evening Post.
QUAINT AND CURIOUS.
Tho first ice cream ever sold as t
regular article of commerce was

Tudor in 1S05. He sent a load to

Another girl has been found who
likes needles. In Ashland, Pa., the oth
er day, a 16-year-old girl was operated
on In thc state hospita!, and no less
than l:'.r. needles were 'aken out of her
bands and arms. It srms that she did
not like to go to ?schcol and as an ex
cuse weald stk)< nee Iles into "herself.
She seined to have suffered no great
inconvenience from doing so.
The four-year-old son of a French
packer recently disappeared, and thc
authorities instituted a search, but
without result. The same day, how
ever, the boy was returned in a pack
j ing case which had been sent to a cus
; tomer as containing goods. The child
i had apparently got into the empty
j case, fallen asleep, and had been
! packed up. Luckily, the lid only fittei

The Eskimos possessed the most re
markable place of worship in the
world. It was a sealskin church.
Forty sealskins were stretched over a
light framework, and in this tent, IS
feet by 12, services were held every
Sunday. Put the church came to an
untiirrrr; -nd. One hard winter tho
Eskimos' dogs, being half famished,
dined on the sealskins, and only the
frame was left. The Eskimos have
now erected a dog proof tabernacle.
A procession of the unemployed that
took place in 1764 says the London Ex
press, did not meet with any great suc
cess or public sympathy. In that year
wigs went oat < f fashion, and the wig
makers of London were thrown out of
work and reduced to distress. They
petitioned George III to compel gentle
men to wear wigs by law. As the wig
makers went in procession to St.
James to present their petition it was
noticed that most of those persons who |
wanted to compel other people to |
wear wigs wore no wigs themselves, j
This striking tho London mob as very j
inconsistent, they seized the proces
sionists and forcibly cut off all their
; hair.
An interesting discovery was made
recently at Peterborough cathedral
during the progress of some evacua
tions in connection with the underpin
ning of the south wall of the sand nary.
' Three stone collins, one very large and
two smaller, and tho stem of a Saxon
? cross, richly ornamented with mould
ing ol' a well known Celtic pattern,
were discovered. The spot is the north
i eastern extremity of the Saxon church
which was destroyed by lire by the
Lanes, and propably formed part of a
monastic burial ground. Archaeolo
gists believe the small coffins may have
been those nf the children of ono of
tho kings of Murcia. The cro*s is to bo

One would think nobody would bother
about baskets, that those on the mar
ie: t were good enough and that there
were other things more worth while.
Dst lot:; of new things in baskets are
cropping up. Every one knows tba.
scrap baskets are apt to break on thc
edge, especially when1 the family is
inigo and there arc careless young
people. A tough.. serviecaole straw now
comes, pretty enough, for the most fas
tidious, which is built into scrap bas
kets, anil to make it more durable thc
eds? protected with aluminum. It
looks like nickel, so bright and sil
very is I:. But nickel for such uses
would be heavy. Aluminum has scarce
ly any weight. These baskets will al
most last forever.
Of thc same straw, aluminum bound,
is a little coneshapeil basket lined with
leather. This is for the maid and in
tended to held kniVC3 and forks when
removed from the table. Everyone
knows that when dishes and knives,
forks and spoons are piled indiscrimin
ately on trays the knives and forks are
ap', to Slldp oft" on thc Hoer. This Ut
ile basket permits them io be gathered
all at once quietly and taken from the
dining-room without fear of mishap.
Useful for the picnic hamper is n
small flat basket with a half dosen or
more gras3-wovon rings, like napkin
rings, fastened iu it. They will hob)
securely bettles of wines, eggs or such
things whose breaking would spelt
ruination to the other contents of the
hamper.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Powerful Chinese Drugc.
"I have always heard that Chinese
medicines are very powerful." said tho
city salesman, "but I never had any
idea what a tremendous effect they
were capable of producing on the sys
tem till I saw a Doyers street China
man rake a pi 11 the other day. and
then I realized that ono dose of a Ce
