There is no more striking: difference Between a man’s and a girl’s education than the very way in which they start out to get that education. I mean that, in the selection cf their colleges they Show wonderfully dissimilar motives. A man decides upon a certain col- lege because his father and grand- f2. .her went there before him, or, more I issibly, because he admires the cap- iiin Of the football team extravagant- ly, or because from his preparatory school record he thinks he will have a chance on the crew. Iknow small boys of 12 or 13 who have been proudly wearing a blue and . silver pin in the lapel of their Norfolk jackets and telling their astonished relations that they “have decided to go toYale, ” ever since last N ovember,and who will promptly and cheerfully put on the orange and black of the Tigers should Yale happen to be defeated this year: in the great contest. ‘ But the girl has no such precedents or'ambitions or aims. “Going to col- lege” yet so new and important a thing with her. and is so frequently for the purpose of studying, that she con- scientiously decides upon the institu- tionwhere she can get the hardest and most thorough course in her most dif- ficultelective. I have known sisters to separate, on going to college, because one was con- v1nced thata certain institution pos- sessed the most advanced electrical apparatus and the other had been as- sured that the department Of history was superior in the college she had de- cided to enter. cw Qalyléé virgin A A-‘ V r Feminine Chat. The’ Salvation Army “War Cry” seems to have sunk into oblivion since- the bulletin board war cry came into existence. . ’ The woman Of genuine domestic taste can get as much real joy out of the in- animate objects that surround her in her home'as she does from the friends who visit- it. . - Belles On wheels have for along time ' been a sight so common as to cause no comment,~therefore the car must be made to take notice, and bells on the - bicycle are deemed the correct thing. I: there anything more galling to a woman’s pride than to write to a man and have him pay no attention to the letter? The tip tilted hat is either very sty- lish or decidedly “tough” in its air. It all depends upon the precise angle at which it is worn. A man may declare that he never notices a woman’s gown, but he is very quick to tell her if it does not look as he thinks it should. ldmbriodery on the summer porch will run largely to flags, these being the form of decoration especially in vogue in all classes of society. New studs for-the shirt waist are in the form of turtles. The most difficult problems look so easy once they are solved. The scent of lilacs fills the air with truespringtime fragrance. The dressmaker who keeps promises keeps her customers. All men are foolish, but it is only the wise pnes that find it out. The man of the world thinks he knows itall when he announces that a girl seldom marries her first love. It is the easiest thing in the world to talk—it is quite difierent to do. her It is a sure sign you are getting old when crowds make you impatient. ‘A‘ ——Thc Time to Invest.

Aged ‘ Daniel Callahan . Found in Southport Creek. Left-His Home at Midnight and Found . by Searchers. The body of Daniel Callahan, an aged and respected citizen of South- port, was found in the creek at that place at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. Cal- lahan was. 60 years of' age, and had been in ill-health for four or five years. (Callahan left his home at 1 o’clock yesterday morning, as near as his chil- dren ' can judge. He was attired in trousers, shoes, a shawl and wore a hat' As he had not returned at daybreak an alarm was sounded, and a searching party was organized. The first thought was that his body would be found in the water. The searching party set sail in five boats. A grappling hook was in useby the men of each boat and they worked for hours without success. The funeral of Mrs. Abbie R. Wil- iams was attended from her late home on Main street yesterday afternoon, the interment being in Spring Grove cemetery. . Among the searchers were Edgar and Fred Sherwood. In their search they saw Callahan-'5 body half out of the water, his hands being closed in a bunch of bog grass. About a mile from the spot where the body was found, a party came upon the shawl, shoes and hat worn by Call- ahan when he left his house. It is not known whether he plunged into the water at the point where the clothing was found and swam such a distance or not. . Daniel Callahan was a gardener by occupation, although he retired from active work years ago. He was a man lot 7511200; chicken house and fruit. W. H. Byington, Building.
