This committee is intrusted with the responsibility of either selecting the home iu which the student is to live or supervising the student's selection.

A passenger in a Brooklyn street rar tho other day was surprised, not to say startled, on glancing up from the newspaper news-paper ho was reading, at seeing opposite him in the car and just over the top of his paper tho yellow and black head of nn enormous leopard. The animal's ears were laid back and its lips drawn apart in an ugly snarl that showed its white tii-th, and its blazing yellow eyes glared fiercely at the astonished passenger. The man dropped his newspaper rather suddenly, and was confronted by another pair of staring yellow eyes and more gleaming teeth. Ilis surprise was very evident, fur he had been completely absorbed ab-sorbed in his newspaper, but he quickly recovered and smiled when he saw a very pretty pink and white human faco between the leopards' heads.

I Sealing wax, which has Ix-en nban- doned for so many years by foreign elegantes, ele-gantes, has suddenly become fashionable : again, and in tho windows of great Parisian stationers rows of sealing wart, of all hues and shades, aro ranged in tempting order. A meaning is now attached at-tached to each color. White sealing wax means a proposal of marriage; black, of course, mourning; violet, condolence; brown or old gold, an invitation to dinner; din-ner; ruby is used by lovers; crimson is reserved strictly for business letters; green means hope; pale gray, friendship; pink, love; yellow, jealousy; gold and silver, const nimy, etc. Notepaper is to bo had in corresponding correspond-ing shades and in all shapes and forms. Mourning paper is uow absolutely black, edged with silver, and silver ink is used to write thereupon. A pretty novelty is the flower paper.

Miss Eleanor Clausen, musician and orchestra leader, is considered one of the best woman conductors in London. Although born in England, she is of Swedish extraction and comes from a lino of musicians. She is 1 years of age, and the members of her Pompadour uaml, twenty in number, are Guildhall students. Although it is an infant of fourteen months, Miss Clausen is very proud of her orchestra, and very particular partic-ular about the company it keeps. She refuses all engagements for smokiijg concerts and stag parties. There arj four violins, three drums, two cornets, two clarionets, two 'cellos, two double basses, two violas, an oboe, a French horn, a trombone and a piano in the orchestra. or-chestra. The most attractive members are a tall, dignified lady drummer and a small blonde girl who plays the 'cello. The musicians dress in pompadour toilets, toi-lets, and wear the famous style of hair- dressing heavily powdered. London Letter. Story of (loldan Lock. A pathetic incident was called to my attention by one of my clerks the other mornii;g. Ho had received in the mail a glove box, which when opened revealed re-vealed a lot of fluffy golden hair in two pieces. It was rea'.iy beautiful hair, and la in pretty rings. A letter came with the box offering to exchange the hair for a year's subscription to my magazine. The wri.r. is a Kansas girl, not very well educated, but very ambitions. She wrote that she had no money, and believing be-lieving her hair to be of some value, offered of-fered it for the magazine. It struck me as being one of tho most pathetic things I ever heard of. What did I do? Why, I sent the hair back and put her name on my subscription books for a longer jierioif than a year.

All ot the stuUeuts at Tne Annex who have no homes in Cambridge board in private families in that city. Of the 100 students at the Annex tin's year there are about fifty who live in this way. The other 1U0 or more students come from such places as Itoxbury and Cambridge Cam-bridge and Somervillo nnd Newton. Their homes are iu those towns, and when they get through with their work at the Annex every day they go homo. Outside of tin; supervising interest which the authorities have in the social life of the students, t hero is another interest in-terest that manifests itself in all kinds of pleasant ways. The young women are encouraged to regard their instructors instruct-ors as persons who are more to them than official pedagogues. And then the students have no class spir'it, no social 6ets, no barriers to kindly intercourse. For several years a certain cerenn;;iy has existed at the Annex. It is tho getting get-ting together at the commencement of the college year of all the students. The new students assemble at the invitation cf those who have been on the last year's li'l s of tho college, and everybody has a jolly g'Xid time. Everybody gets acquainted ac-quainted with everybody else at these gatherings. It is the commencement reception, re-ception, and there are dancing and the tisual adjunct to a social affair. B:iJ the invitations are strictly confined, alas! to the students themselves. On this particular day the Annex building is delivered over to the students. stu-dents. Every room in the house is theirs to do as they please, and they usually please. The refreshments are supplied by tho Annex housekeeper, and tho students stu-dents who give the invitations pay for tho fun. Ice cream and cake and chocolate, choco-late, and from 100 to l.'iO students this is the list of sweets to be enumerated in describing the make up of the reception. The eye of man has never looked upon tiie scenes at these gatherings, and probably prob-ably never will, and the chronicler of , Annex social history must be content to i accept bis information second hand. Afternoon teas are a conspicuous eat- j leopards' heads, the fur a bright yellow, dotted over with big black rings, and they had belonged to two full grown animals. an-imals. One was made into a cap, which fitted closely over the lady's head. The upper row of sharp teeth, two of which were about an inch and a half long, nearly touched her forehead, while tho great yellow eyes glared fiercely down from the crown of her head. 'L ho other head, which was a little larger and of even more ferocious aspect, was made into in-to a muff. Both were exceedingly lifelike, life-like, and the effect was quite novel and at first glance rather startling. The same lady was seen tho next day wearing a wrap made of leopard skin, and the man who had seen the heads found himself wondering if thero was not perhaps an interesting story of the lady's prowess as a huntress connected with the trophies she wore. New York Sun. Women Should Ilolp Women. Why do women not leave money for tho benefit of women's education? Mrs. Fogg, who receutly died in Now York and left $ii'K),00O to charities and educatioual institutions, is one of a number num-ber of women who have left large estates to worthy objects within tho past few months. But. like all the rest. Mrs Fogg leaves all her money to institutions for men. She left $200,000 to Harvard College, and in Cambridge is tho Harvard Har-vard Annex, needing this sum far more than the university, and able to do mora good with it. All the women's colleges are poor. Tho schools which give secondary education to women are poorer yet. It is the hardest hard-est thing in education to find a school in which a girl can get just as good a fit for college as a boy. This is equally true of art schools for women, of scholarships for post graduate study, and of women's medical schools. They are all wofully poor, far poorer thau like schools for men. ! 'et the rich women who give and leave large sums are pprpelually liestow-i liestow-i imr it on colleges., schools and institutions ender on the lilac, and buttercups and daisies on the green.

Bernhardt is not a very favorable favor-able subject for the interviewer, as I have discovered from two experiences with her. She has heard that tho province prov-ince of tho interviewer is to ask questions, ques-tions, and when ho poor man! gives out she remains completely silent. She answers all questions laconically and appears ap-pears immensely surprised, as she may well do at some cf tho interrogations with which she has been afflicted. Bernhardt Bern-hardt is an artist, however, even when the interviewer is on hand. When she lurived in New Yrork there were at least twelve "lewspaper men to meet her with Mr. Abbey. They went on board La Chanijatgne to her stateroom. state-room. Sara was made up as carefully as though she were just going for a ride through the Champs Elysees. Thero was a delicate bloom on her cheeks and a coraline redness on her lips. One of the interviewers, when he had been told of her sufferings on the sea, said, "Why, madame, you certainly do not look as though you had been ill." This really embarrassed the great and only Bernhardt. Bern-hardt. Epoch. In i'uulit! rntitlmiK. All tho world knows that the ci!y fathers fa-thers of Oskaloosa aro women. The mayor, Mrs. Bowman, is a very pretty and exceedingly womanly woman, and tho mother of a strapping 22-year-old son, who escorts her to and from the city hall. Mrs. Salter, the mayor of Argonia, is administering the affairs of office for the second term. She is described as a nervous U. tie woman, who, during the first year of office, attended to her puhlio I and social duties, did the washing, ironing iron-ing and cooking of her household and in- I creased her family from five to six.
