—Queen Victoria, when at Glasgow
a short time ago, paid a visit, to Queen
Margaret's College, the only college
for women in Scotland. She expressed
her pleasure at hearing of the pros
perity of the institution, and said:
“Every movement which, tends to
raise the position of women, and ex
tend the sphere of their influence, has
my warm approval. I trust that the
college may long continue to be pros
perous.” The friends of “higher
education” in England are jubilant
over this incident.

I was lying in my hammock the other day
—by the way, I h«ve it swung across a win
dowed comer of my room these cool autumn

things were which women did specially like iu
men—of course I am writing now of nice
men and nice women—and 1 came to the con
clusion that the things which particularly
influence us in our choice among men were
the little things.

ho should say “yes” and “ no,” adding your

fection of feature, grate uj»n your keen
sense of well-bredness much as the aqueak of

mis|fiaced gems outshine them all in their
glaring vulgar brilliancy. It isn't of course,
the jewels themselves, intrinsically, any
more than it is the “me'am” as a simple part
of speeclL It is the lack of that innate sense
of the fitness and unfitness of things—that
dawn of discrimination, I would modestly
christen it—which all the sterling qualities
and all 1 ho heroic characteristics taken to

truly refined woman's fancy.

Ah, no—it is tho man who fails not as to
little things who wins every time. Tho num

railway car or which end of the boat is tho

man who can put on your «rap without
