We picked up thatlast expression from Seymour, who was English. Ithink we tacitly acknowledged him to be the head ofour bachelors' hall, though he was a retiring fellowenough and never assumed any undue authority; buthe was very dignified, gracefully equal to every emer­gency-in short, so unlike ourselves in every respect,that we could not help admiring him. People alwaysat heart admire most those qualities which they do110t possess.Seymour believed in blood. He had a book of thepeerage in his room, in which' the names of some ofhis relatives occurred, and we used to accuse him ofreading that every night instead of his Bible. Wedelighted in stirring him up on the subject of casteand society. He was ready enough to talk of thesethings, and rising to his feet, would give us, withgyratory movement, his aristocratic views. He wouldwarn us solemnly above all things never to marry be­neath us. He would give us various reasons why weshould. not do so, and cite cases of people who hadfailed to follow this caution and were miserable everafter. He would go on in this strain for severalmin�tes, nntil some one would laugh, and delicatelyintimate that he was ranting. Then his broad Britishforehead would flush, he would sit down in hurt si­lence, and his unprepossessing face would not relaxfor the rest of the evening. However, if we did makefun of him at times, we nevertheless respected himthoroughly. Besides ourselves, our establishment boasted threeother persons: first, our handsome man-of-all-work,Charles, who looked so much like a gentleman thatwe were constantly being amused by having peopletake him for one of us; but though his tailor was asgood as ours, and he was particular about his cigars,we did not .discharge him. As cook, we employedMrs. Blake, a nondescript, ignorant sort of woman,with a face like a nut-cracker, and a characterlessmouth no wider than the blade of one of the knivesshe inserted in it at meal times. However, she madegood salad. Her daughter Bessie waited on the table.The latter was a young girl, perhaps eighteen yearsof age. I believe all of us considered her good look­ing except Seymour, who said that he had nevertaken much notice of her face, but that her handsworried him when she was taking away his dishes atmeals. They were too red, he thought, and the fin­gers were stubby, and the nails looked as if shewere in the habit of biting them. One day, though,he happened to hear a remark of hers that interestedhim. He and I were standing on the upper veranda,and almost directly beneath us lounged Bessie ill ourhammock, while Charles-supposed to be raking thelawn-stood near her. She happened to be talking ofme, and just after she mentioned my name we heardher say:"- Oh, I don't call him so awful smart, Charlie. Hedon't say such clever things himself. It's a wayhe's got of spoiling bright things other folks says bycutting in with something mean and sarcastic."Seymour looked at me and laughed. "Old man,she's hit you to a T. I don't believe one of us couldhave done it so well, though of course we can recog­nize the description."Both of us looked at Bessie. Her heavy hair wasthe color of a brown, rain-washed autumn leaf andher eyes were of a peculiar shade, red-brown, as if livecoals were burning under them."It strikes me, don't you know," said Seymour,� critically, " that her face is really refined as well aspretty. If she were not in service, one might almosttake her for a lady.""Under other circumstances she might be so con­sidered in this country," I replied. " Her father wasa clergyman, though her mother is what you see.""I wonder," Seymour said, as we walked away,"if she would read some books, supposing I offeredto lend them to her?

But he did not comedown to dinner.The Grand Stand.The mass meeting of Friday was quite largely at­tended with the result that nearly a hundred dollarswas subscribed' for the new grand stand. C. S. Pikepresided and the object of the meeting was stated in athrilling speech by Mr. S. H. Clark. A committee wasappointed to assist in the work of raising funds.This will consist of the following members: CharlesW. Allen (chairman), Fred D. Nichols, Henry C.Murphy and Harry D. Abells, from the students. S.H. Clark, A. A. Stagg, O. J. Thatcher, from the fac­ulty.The committee will be at work among the studentsall this and next week, and it is to be hoped that theirefforts will meet with good success.A thousand dollars should be subscribed before theend of next week and the liberal contributions frommembers of the faculty should call forth similar liber-:ality on the part of the students.A hundred dollars was raised in half an hour. Fivehundred more should be on paper by October r yth.A fine grand stand will be a monument which will foryears to come testify to the liberal spirit of the stu­dents of '94-'95. We want a tasty as well as commo­dious grand stand. At the lowest possible estimateit will require a thousand dollars to build one thatwill suit the requirements.Show your college spirit by subscribing liberally:when the committee calls on you.Do College Women flarry?Freshmen and cynics maintain' that college womenseldom marry. They argue that after a woman haslifted the veil behind which shrinking knowledgehides herself, and drunk to the fill the wisdom potion,she is enabled to read the character of man mostaccurately, and in the possession of this power she issecure. Man may assail her stronghold, he may byspecious argument induce her to treat him as anequal on some grounds, but he can never, never argueher into taking him as a sharer of earthly joys. Thefolly of this idea is made apparent by the well-knowneducator', Professor Thwing, who writes on " CollegeWomen" as follows:" Of the first twenty-four classes graduated at Vassar College having 867 members, 315, or a little morethan 36 per cent, were in the year 1890 reported as married, and 305 were reported as engaged in teach­ing. Of the others, 39 were described as literaryworkers, 28 as physicians and medical students, 116. were teachers of arts, 5 were artists, 5 farmers, 4librarians, and the others were enrolled as organists,secretaries, compilers, missionaries, actors, book-keep­ers, etc. Among them I fail to find a single clergy­man, or a single lawyer. These facts prove that col­lege training has not diverted women from vocationswhich they are specially fitted by nature to follow.More than a third of all the women who graduatemarry. Indeed, it may be said that statistics showthat toward one-half of all collegewomen do marry.They marry later than women who are not graduates,and also, it may be added, marry better. In marriagethey find their vocation. More than a third of col­lege graduates become teachers, and teaching is oneof those great vocations which woman seems to beordained of heaven to follow."College News.The fall term opened at the University of Wisconsinon Sept. 13.

The method ofelecting the board has not yet been determined upon,but this, with other important information, will beposted on the bulletin boards during the coming week.In the meantime students who desire positions are re­quested to send in their names, also contributions ofany description. No one will be considered as a can­didate for an editorial position unless he complies withthis regulation. Unless otherwise directed, theworthy contributions which are sent in under thisplan will be published. Every student who has theinterests of his alma mater and his fellows at heart,and who has any ability in the direction of journalisticwork, should enter the contest. Election to the edi­torial board should be an honor of which any manmight well feel proud, and it is to be hoped thatmany will show their appreciation of the opportunitywhich is afforded them by sending in their names.Every student who shows ability in journalisticwork will be regarded as a candidate. Whether orno he shall serve as a WEEKLY editor will depend onthe student body which will elect the board.NEW STUDENTS will find the WEEKLY a con­venient receptacle in which to deposit theirdesultory writings. Contributions are at alltimes desired by the editors. It is wrong to suppose that only the productions of the editorial board areentitled to publication in its columns. Indeed if suchwere the case columns would have to be shortened andeditors would be hard to secure. The WEEKLY is thestudents' paper, and devoted to their interests. Itshould have the moral support of every student, andit demands that as a right. But it asks more thanthat. It looks to you for contributions, and it shouldnot be disappointed. It would seem to be unnecessaryto refer to the benefits which accrue from writing forpublication. Young and inexperienced writers desir­ing to improve themselves in this line of work can findno better opportunity to accomplish their object and toacquire a good style than in contributing to their col­lege paper. A great fault with college men is thatthey write too little. They have n't time, and manyare apprehensive that their initial efforts will get nofarther than the editorial waste basket. Their unfa­miliarity with college newspaper offices is responsiblefor this shrinking timidity. Could they but know theeagerness with which the editor holds on to " outsidecopy" their fears would be removed. Write for theWEEKLY. Give it your spare moments.

Friday's meeting brought out a fair numberof students and over seventy-five dollars was pledged.The meeting was an enthusiastic one and served toshow that the students are waking up to a realizationof what is required of them. One thing was noticableand that was the meagre attendance of new students.It may be that the meeting was not advertised suffi­ciently thus accounting for this small showing. Theirabsence from the meeting, however, should be no in­dication of their unwillingness to share and sharealike the burden of building the grand stand.

' The committees which were appointed bythe meeting has been working among the studentswith encouraging results. Considerable money hasbeen. raised, but not enough. The size and beauty ofthe stand will depend upon the generosity of the stu­dents. We feel certain that they will not be satisfiedwith a poor stand, and when they see that the givingof a small sum on their part may mean another foot of" sitting room" we are sure they will not begrudge it.Don't wait until the committee approaches you.Give your subscription to a member of the committeeand thus make their duties lighter and more pleasant..

NACEY.OTHER GIRLS' FELLOWS.Some people might consider me fortunate withthree extra young men on my hands this summer.They are my three : best girl friends' best beaux.The girls are away, of course, or I should not be thusencumbered. One is up at Mackinac, the other twoat the sea-shore. Every week I get a letter from eachof them, and every week each young lady's respect­ive young man comes up to see me. Question No. Ifrom each is, "When did you hear from Nell, Ethelor Marie?" Then I bring down the letter, readextracts therefrom, we talk about the girl, and hetells me highly interesting facts concerning theiracq uaintanceship, things that I've heard dozens oftimes from herself. It is absolutely necessary Ishould see them; they are so lonesome (they say),and 1. 9-m' a capital listener. When I write to myfriends I have to give vivid descriptions of this lastV1Slt. To write simply that Torn, Harry or Ned washere would never do. I must describe his dejectedappearance, tell how he looks almost handsomer forbeing so melancholy, and carefully avoid mentioningany disenchanting reports I hear of him.. (Some­times it is necessary to put a new suit of clothes or anew neck-tie on him, in the letter, anything to fill awhole page about him.) If the idea would strikethem, any. one of them even, that I deserve somerecompense. I think I could put up with the calls ofall three amiably enough. But drives to Fisher's,rides along the lake shore, even concerts or theatres,are thought of by them only when the young lady can accompany them. It is jolly to be considered popu­lar, for once, of course; but to have the people youdo want to see imagine you have time for no one butthose three is very annoying. And then the popular­ity can't last, and you lose the others in the bargain.So, on the whole, I shall be 1110St happy to resign assoon as possible, the charge of my three best girlfriends' best beaux.A "RESIDENCE."Beside the curb stood a huge moving-van, red withgold letters and figures on it; for all the world like acircus wagon. On the grass in front of the fiats werelittle iron beds, foot and head strapped together.Pictures tied face to face; folding-beds taken apar� ;cane-seated chairs bound together in a pile; barrelsfilled with dishes and tins; tables; the baby carriage.The rest of the things were in the van. At last theMcDowells were moving out. The infant populationof the block would be diminished by seven ere night.Cynthia, the eldest, aged eleven, emerged from thedoorway in a long old-rose calico wrapper. She wastrying to look very important, carrying the new babyand the red silk parasol of the baby carriage. Sheknew just how to carry the baby, but the parasol,with i ts long bent steel handle, was too much for her.I relieved her of it, and laid it on the grass. " So,you're moving to-day, Cynthia?" "Yes, ma'am,we're going to-day." "Where to?" "To a resi­dence." ". Another fiat? " " No' m, to a residence.""Have you rented it till June?" "No'm, we haven'trented it; it's a residence." Residence to 'Cynthiaseemed to have a very definite and specific meaning .. She was going to tell me all about it when the babycommenced to cry, and I left in haste. When Ipassed by an hour later she was gleefully relating toanother neighbor that their days of fiathood andmoving were passed, and that they were going into a, , residence. ""SHE WAS A WOMAN."House-cleaning time, and the back yard was theonly place where the Young Man of the Housethought he would be undisturbed that Saturday after­noon. Beside him in the hammock lay an uncutmagazine. How jolly it was that Nellie R. hadmoved next door to him! He had met her four timesexactly, at three parties and once coming hoine onthe Elevated. She hadn't asked him to call, and hedidn't have the courage to ask her permission to doso. She seemed such a timid, shy little thing in spiteof her popularity with the boys; quite the most un­conscious girl he knew! No use looking up at thewindows. She's busy helping get things settled.But he looked up anyway. Could 'it be? Yes,surely, it was Nellie's profile he caught sight of."Why on earth has she got that evening dress on7up creditably. Hirschberger is rather weak in defen­sive work, and it was a disappointment to many 'pres­ent that he was not given a chance to show his abil­ity as an offensive player.The kick-off by Allen was poor, and North westernby small gains carried the ball for twenty yards be­fore losing on downs, Nichols took the ball on a" criss cross" play and cleared seventy-five yards fora touchdown, but was called back for running out ofboundry. He made another good run around Evan­ston's left for twenty yards. Roby was given the ballbut passed it to Flanders, who made a run of twentyyards and the first score. Northwestern kicked toAllen. Allen, Nichols, Gale and Roby made longruns, but the ball was lost at the seven-yard line.Twice Northwestern put the ball in play, when theylost on a fumble, and Gale at once carried the ballacross their line. Nichols and Flanders skirted theends, and then the force was concentrated on the cen­ter. Under Knapp's guidance, Flanders made thirtyyards and Roby put the pigskin over the line.Yundt carried the ball ten yards. Nichols made fif­teen yards, Flanders twenty yards, and Allen, McCas­kill and Nichols five yards each. Roby went overthe line. Allen made a good recovery of the ballafter the kick-off. Chicago bucked away at the ce.iter,but lost thirteen yards on a fumble. Gale punted andChase broke through and tackled his man. The visit­ors were forced to kick, but Allen broke through andspoiled the punt. Chicago, by easy marches, got atouchdown by Gale.The half ended with the score 30 to 0 in Chicago'sfavor.In the second half Northwestern kicked to Knapp,who made a long run. Here Chicago's interferencework was especially good. The visitors got the ballon an off-side play but could not advance it. Theygot in back, however, on "off-side," but lost thirteenyards and voluntarily left the other seven to keep theball. They again lost on downs, with fifteen yards togain, but by "off-side" plays they got the ball again,only to lose on downs, and for the fourth time to getthe ball back on alleged off-side plays. N orthwest­ern men worked like demons and for a time it seemedas though they must score. However, Chicago heldthem down and forced the fight to the visitors' ten­yard line. Chicago had a man off-side, and N orth­western on taking the ball kicked. Hirchberger gotit and made a touchdown. The visitors. kicked toHering. Knapp made twenty yards and Nicholas theremaining forty-five.Gale, by good interference, returned the ball to themiddle of the field after the kick-off. Roby, Allen,Gale and Nichols made long gains, and Nichols crossedthe line. Knapp, Nichols and Gale made long gainsafter the next line-up, but time was called at North­westcrns fifteen yard lines.8 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.in broad daylight?" He took out his watch. "At4:30 in the afternoon!" But how sweet she looked!Even if he only could see her profile, which wasn'tnearly as pretty as her full face. She was bendingher head as if she were bowing to some one througha crowd around her, graciously, very graciously. Sheturned around, her profile always toward him, andglanced over her shoulder, apparently at someonebehind her, with a most ravishing smile, then rightabout face, and made the quaintest 'little sweepingcourtesy. He had seen her acknowledge a series ofintroductions just so. She sat down in front of therecipient-of all these attentions. She looked up witha surprised, modest, " bird-like" glance, holding ou t acard. She tossed back refractory curls. She let thefeather boa slip down and down till it was becominglyhalf off, half on, her shoulders. With painstakingcare - she repeated any unsatisfactory poses. Theeffort to keep from laughing out loud was gettingdreadful. She came to the window with a hand­glass, trying the effect of a rosebud falling just backof her ear. Suddenly she looked down into theyards. Their eyes met. It was the last time he sawa spark of recognition in hers.An Easy Victory.As time was called for the first half, and Northwest­ern's team moved slowly and painfully off the fieldwith thirty points scored against them, smile one inthe grand-stand whispered softly: "Our one-timerivals! Where are they now? "It was' the first college game of the season and alarge crowd had come out in the hope of seeing a well­contested match. The spectators were disappointed,particularly Northwesterns, for the game was too one­sided to be interesting. Only for a few moments wasthe contest at all equal. That was in the beginningof the second half, when Northwestern braced up andheld our team for some time and even gained a fewyards now and then.Northwestern certainly. has a weak team. Its in­terference work was especially poor, and the ease withwhich our men broke through the line and tackledEvanston did not speak well for the training of thesuburbanites. The score 46 to 0 is a large one, con­sidering that the halves were of thirty-five and twen­ty-five minutes duration. The work of our teamwas especially good, Nichols plays being almost phe­nomenal. Long runs of seventy-five and forty-fiveyards, many other good gains and three touchdownsmakes a proud record. Knapp's presence in the linewas an encouragement to the men, and although the" bucking" tactics were seldom used, when they were,they were accompanied by good gains. Roby is show­ing himself to be a reliable man, always to be countedon in an emergency. His work in Saturday's gamewas very fine.
