If work has anything to do wi Tawney, 21-year-old foreign trade of hers scon after she graduates Miss Tawney is at present the only school. Having a head for business routine attached to most of it she the money that was in it but the o thing. After graduating from the Uni versity she hopes to get a scholar ship in an eastern college. After that—well she hopes to go into either the civil service and consu lar work or stenographic work in an importing or exporting house. Those are the ambitions of this attractive red-headed girl who has been totally self-supporting most of the time in school.

The effort to evade reality she believes per sists among most women students. Her friends and professors be lieve that she will be able to ac complish what she sets out to do. Her short life has been like that. I Summer vacations have been filled with a variety of different Jobs. She has assisted in a dental office, worked at a switchboard, done office work, acted as a com panion to an old maid school teacher, and taught archery. And why archery?

She had to give up championship shooting because it was such a strain along with her studies and work. She plans on going out for intramural archery next week, there being no distinc tion between professional and non professional shooting. She will use the tackle that her father always makes for her. The Tawney family is typical.
