Is, "Dot's college unlit a woman

"Do college women marry?" The wrlUT
has often wondered whether the first ques

College? The man's work for the home is
different from the 'woman's, but is It not
quite as definite in Its own way and as Im
portant that his training shall fit him for
It? It is assumed that the broader his cul

that the contrary result is to be ix;ec'ed

."a. I whose charities are so unosten
tatious Hint most recipients never
know their benefactor, whose
hobbles even laces and Napoleonic relies
are not at all unusual, well educated mid
widely traveled, but displaying t'.'i talents
that allure public notice; a freckled, snub
nored, little woman with red hair tinged
with gray, whose face impresses as Rood
and kind, but not beautiful, has been so
pi.rs 'outtd by photographers after her pic
ture that rhe has bo..-:i compelled lo c II
on the police to keep 11. em away from her
door.
Why? The answer will
delight those
cynics who hold that our
Payed the impossible, whop,
orders and titles of nobility,
forefathers cs-
titey abolished
for the reason
tint the desire for 'an aristocracy is fo
imbedded in "human nature that If deprived
or'one'by law It will create one by cus
tom. This woman, by the death nf her father
nnd brothers, has come In! 1 supreme con
trol of a world-wide business and of a for
tune estimated from fW.Ont.C'.u to JloO.nv'V
C'V.
..vr.use rhe has so much me ney Is tho
re i'on why she cannot have her door
wMvmt limning a gantlet of cameras and
lrist cill nrnn the police to keep snap
sbotters out of her private residence.
H-cause she has bo much money, those
whos.' trade it is to cater to tiie public
ruriodly about the powerful ones of tbo
pi! Ih will not leave her in peace, even by
her own fireside.
TYhother the impelling motive of her
photographic prrr-oeution be indeed, as tho
cynics mentioned will uver, the natural de
r'.re of the populace to learn about those
whom it willingly exalts to superiority, or
men vulgar curiosity, such as would bo
fxcited over a notorious criminal, is a
point that need not b" discussed here.
The fact remains that the Intense curi
osity Is there, and moves men who can
profit by gratifying It to do things that
may be termed outrageous or silly or
purely sordid, according to tho viewpoint.
If this woman's picture were not In great
demand scores of persons of both sexes
Would not work and plan and deviso every
possible scheme to get it.
When an elderly woman to whom none
but good works are Imputed is refused the
poor privilege of attending to her own priv
ate affairs without molestation by strang
ers, one begins to ec what may be tho
penalties of wealth.
There seems no good reason why these
penalties should be inflicted. There seems
no Rood reason why this woman should
not be permitted to pursue her way in tho
peace conceded as a right to all good wo
men In private life.
Yet they are indicted. Tho fact may con
sole some w.men who wish for wealth in
vain. If they are without wealth's powers
nnd pleasures, they also escape penalties
nbhorrint to every womanly woman. Chi
