TWENTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD MISS IS STUDENT AT BARNARD. Studying to Fit Herself for Educational Leadership In Her Own Country Pretty and Winsome, Is Liked by Her College Associates. New York. At Ilnrnard college is a llttlo Chinese girl who speaks moro lnnguageB than any other student thore, and who baa learned them in traveling all over tho wot Id. Her name is Kang-Tung-lMh. Though nssured by a pair of fair Ab ators that the lady from China was of ponderous proportions and that alio ncvor appeared in tho presence of a ho boing without n two-edged yatagun de pending Trom her girdle, tho seeker found her to bo hardly tniler than ono of those largo flower vaBos you some times seo on a drawing-room tloor. Her hair is jot, and her complexion Spanish, rather thnu Chinese. An ever ready smile discloses a perfect Bet of tooth. Her eyes nro vory brown nnd very bright. You seo none of tho half-strablBmlc slant you expect in the Celestial, and but for an occnsjonnl bird-like piping of tho voice and a cluck of merriment that suggests the fan nnd a pair of almond oyss behind it, there is little to recall tho vory exotic typo of Chinese your mind so roadlly pictures.

Marking the winsome graces or the exotic little lady in a big, big arm chair bofore him, tho writer reflected thnt most men could easily condone a lack of learning clothed In such ami ability and charm or manner. Yet Mi lady Kang-Tung-Plh has her storo or erudition as well as her equipment ot personal grace. She has traveled in every country In the world, speaks nt least half a dozen languages well, ono of them being Hindustani, besides be ing acquainted with several more, in cluding Sanscrit.
