from men the work they wish to do, as to do
what they confess themselves unable to do.
She believes the home is the shrine of
the nation, and that it takes two people to
make a perfect home. She therefore refuses
to place the responsibility or the credit of
having a perfect home npon either party.
She believes in a single standard of morals
for men and women. She does not believe
in the efficacy of works of supererogation in
the social and domestic relations of men and
women.
The various marked innovations by which
the New Woman has been developed in the
last century have turned all eyes upon her,
and have to led exclamation, criticism, scorn
and sarcasm. Hence she is inevitably some
what self-conscious. She cannot help com
paring herself with men doing the same
work and aiming at the same mark. This is
less apparent in the west where men and
women have been educated together than in
the east. It will wear off gradually, but
not until at has worn of! can we look for her
highest development. Not until then -either
can we know how to characterize her in fit
terms. For the present at seems clear that
taking her scientifically and historically she
5s the highest irepresentative of the woman
hood of her lame. Matey Tkemaih.

J Weaver failed to show his smiling face an
(convention. Hie was sorely massed on slibe
day of elect3oD. Not during the whole of
the day, however.. Km tlihe forenoorj he was
talking eagerly itnd eMiiledly in tthe halls
:and prancing Dike JolTs wax horse, drying to
get aip teniikusiasiii. But enthneiasm was
flake JBalaaiu's uiss in this particular instance,
amd wouldu get tup at all; aind so Arthur
JL :savod his (quarter arad Adam veame instead
to talk oii ai question with which he us in
timately acquainted ""Painelple.'" And
here is the whole story: During the fore
noon Doc Everett forgot classes were in
session and sat down in the south hall with
receipt books before him and swallowed up
the incoming quarters as the gaiHess senior
maiden swallows Doctor Wolfe's fish stories
in psychology. In all, he (that is, Doc
Everett, not Dr. Wolfe) and his pal, Packard,
took in about $60, equivalent to over 200
memberships.
At 1:30 President Jones opened the book
containing the constitution and these two
hundred and plus quarter plunkers proceeded
to inscribe their names with many a curve
and flourish. Then the meeting was called
to order. Daniel Webster Baker who goes
by the nom de plume R. S. arose in his
majesty, addressing the studets in his inim
itable way. Mr. Baker had a resolution
and it was carried without a dissenting voice.
What he wants is an oratorical contest with
universities and ar abandonment of the old
system of competing with fairly good high
schools.
This disposed of, nominations were called
for. J. H. Lien put the following ticket an
nomination: Clint Barr, president; Castor,
vice president; Myrtle Wheeler, secretary;
and J. W. Searson, O. H. Allen, W. L.
Williams, and Tarn McCarthy dele
gates. A silence then ensued. Every one
was ansaous to hear the other candidates
manied. They were disappointed; and L. J.
Abbott, jr., moved that the ticket named be
elected aonanimonsly. 3t had received a
second and the, affirmative of the question
had been ttaken when Adam McMaillen de
manded aiecqguitjon and maiie a speech
which fiom almost anyone else would have
heen f orcible. lEte begged for jneoognilion of
Hbe fraternities .and even imaiv-'.iiioed that the
fraternities ware merer amdons to secure

3en was laboring arader a imosappreheasion.
