A young author and orltio, who had come to be an authority upon a csr- H tain modern phase of education, wsat H a few days ago to deliver his first lecture at a girls' school. He had lee- tursd before, but never at a "youag ' ladles' seminary;" and aa two whlta- B tracked, curly-haired ushers lsd him H out to the platform, and he sat down H beside the matronly, principal among .

The audience and the ma- JM tronly principal and the women who H made up the faculty clapped their H hands enthusiastically. Then tho ap- H plause died down and silence settled H upon the lecture hall.

Ho ro- fleeted miserably that ho did not know M the etiquette of a girls' school any- how. And then thero was a signal IH from the principal and a move In tho H audience, and the prettiest of tho JH two girl UBhers approached him, a lit- IH tie shy, determined to do hor duty.
