I was not pro­fusely grateful. How­ever misanthropic onemay be in one's ownview of the world, andthe flesh-and the devilin particular, one wouldrather have other peoplefeel that life is glorious and well worth while. Myacquaintance must intend to give a lecture on the sub­some day, probably he was practicing on me, for hetalked without a break, dividing his remarks underheads and sub-heads. He showed me most snccess­fu llyhow we are miserable all our lives. We are noteven happy ill babyhood. If any joy comes, it is fol­lowed by a ten-fold .sorrow, love and friendship areillusions. Death, the one hope so far away. Whenhe left I was in a state that would have been tearfulonly pessimists are too wretched to weep.I yearned for some sack-cloth, only I knew wedidn't have any in the house. And really, if it hadnot been so late, I believe I would have gone out andburrowed in the ash heap. IS THIS SHE?Now that June days are come upon us and all freshyoung things seem to possess the springtime, thatnever wearisome topic, the new woman, "nimbly andsweetly recommends herself unto our gentle senses,"as an always fruitful subject for contemplation. Themore so, as there seems to be in the minds of some ofour brethren, trouble about many things, a deeplyrooted prejudice against the suspected new woman asshe already presents herself. But this is not to becom pared to a growing dread of her uncertain move­ments along strange lines. Even now she might beendured if she could be stopped in her mad careerand become a case of arrested development, but herunthinkable potentiality seems to preclude such a pos­sibility. On what reasonable grounds can she be ac­counted for? Behold a young woman who, throughno fault in her education, suddenly disdains the offerof a gnarled and mossy oak, or even a sturdy one as ameans of support, and shoots straight up into the freecircumambient atmosphere, like a Hindoo juggler'srope! There she remains suspended in mid-air by aspecies of black art to be looked upon with suspicionhy all and avoided by the wary. Some of the more. cautious indeed, would adopt strenuous measures,either to pull her down and force her to cling, or at theleast compel her to "stop climbing out of reach. Is352 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.this the new woman who has arrived unheralded andunrecognized, with so small a train of followers thatno one realizes that she is even now in our midst,walking on the campus, perhaps not always alone,playing tennis' on a court of questionable merit andwearing; a blue gown (tailor-made), shirt waist, andsailor hat, quite in the old fashion ?-or will the newwoman come like the Queen of Sheba with fanfareand blare of trumpets and splendor and aggressivepride ?-ESTRANGEMENT.Across the mist of tears that blinds my eyes,I see you standing with averted glance;Your brow is shadowed in distrustful wise;You steel your heart against the slow ad vanceOf all that army of regrets. MischanceHas stolen you from me. What a sharp surpriseIs mine !-But the swift play of circumstance"Will bring again, I know, some memoriesOf what is lost; and you shall surely seeThat ghostly army camped within your gates.Remorse,-Ah, me !-That bitter siege awaitsMy own heart too,-and there is not in meThe strength to stand alone against regret.Oh, can you not forgive, or else forget?A. S. C.In a burst of confidence a youth told my room-matethe other day of an amusing blunder he had made.He is boarding here in Chicago and has been greatlyfascinated by the clever conversation of the womanwhose seat at" the table is next his. Accordingly oneevening when she had specially distinguished her­self, he murmured in his most flattering manner-"You are so clever about making little triteremarks. "She 'looked first puzzled, . then. indignant, and thepoor youth, much concerned, wondered why his deli­cate flattery had fallen so far short of the desired effect.Later he discovered to his dismay that his choiceof an adjective had been just a little unfortunate. Henow keeps a dictionary always close at hand and istrying to regain his lost g-ronnd. E. B. F."Success is in the Silences,Though fame is in the song. "-Cannen.Yes, in the Silences, my friend, thou sayest:The brooding of the desert of the sea,Wherein is couchant all the wind's unrestAnd lurid desolation yet to be ;Midnight in the autumn when the stars are deep;Under the waxing moon, the harvest fields,Pregnant with good that on the morrow yieldsTo reaping arms now stilled in silent sleep:One moment in the Vale of Vision rare;The hush before the birth of Will and Dare;A soul's awakening glimpse of love to be,And Death, chain-breaker for Eternity;In these Life knows Infiniteness,o fruitful Silence, thou art crowned Success! A LONGING.Give me one little hour of rest,On Nature's lap to sit awhileAnd feel her soft caress; her smileTo waken joy, How richly blestAre they who fling dull care aside,And gilded pomp with tawdry pride,To breathe her free and careless life!To hear the chord that drowns mad strife.EFFIE A. GARDNER.I have doubted her moral stamina ever since wewere children. We used to go in bathing, and shewould scream the minute the water flowed over herankles because it was cold, and no mortal could dragher where the water was deeper than a foot and a half.Later when we began to study she admired the Spar­tans and Joan of Arc so much that I thought sheprobably possessed a reserve force of pluck which Ihad so far not encountered. About a year ago theman she was engaged to died, and now she wearsdark colors and has her handkerchiefs edged in black,and still goes about" sacred to his memory." Everyone is sorry for her. We all wait on her and pet her,and carefully exclude from her all our personal joys.She has grown shamefully selfish and palpably weak.No doubt she suffers, but she should suffer bravely.Even a coward can learn courage. She should standup steadily, and take her blow from Life straight be­tween the eyes, instead of dodging and cringing, andforever remaining morally bent double.M. L. R.A CO-ED.She stood rather well in her classes,In gym she was reckoned a star,She sang in the richest contralto,And knew how to playa guitar.She could cook, she could sew, she was pretty,The belle of the 'Varsity balls,But-she spent too much time in the chapel,And lingered 'twixt hours in the halls.M.L.R.I was riding 110t long ago on the State street cable;the line had the reputation of being rather toughand one often has interesting experiences on it. NearSixteenth street a man got on the car and took a seatopposite me. He was a negro, very tall, with aslouching gait and bent figure. His face was of apeculiar grayish brown and wore an expression ofappealing humility. There was no assurance or self­confidence in the man's manner; he looked as if hewere asking leave to be. The conductor coming in,asked for his fare, but the negro first handed him asoiled envelope and watched with painful anxietywhile its contents were being read. The conductorUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEE<K.UY.finished the note,' looked k.ind ly at the' man, andhesitated. The -negro raised his big dog-like browneyes and said, in his soft, southern voice, "Will Ihave-to get off? " and the conductor answered gently," Yes, you will have to get off." The man arose, andshuffling toward the, door, left the car. My curiositywas at .lIthe highest pitch by this time, and the con­ductor, being the most human of his kind, noticedit,' I, suppose, and said simply, "The man is a leper:He has just beenrefused admittance to the-hospital;I 'wonder what he'll'do." I wondered too.K B.:F.Come, little raindropsFrom ou t the far hills ;Come, big rivers,Come, little rills;I'll take you all along with meAnd drop you into the briny seaCome, little raindropsFrom out the forked hills!Come, little snowdropsFrom underneath the mould;, 'Come, little crocusesAnd get your noses cold!I'll bring the.rain for you to see,And you shall grow aud happy be.Come, little snowdrops,From underneath the mould !Come, big boys and girlsYou're growing old too fast ; ,You'd run for what. you're missing, If you knew -it wouldn't last!Come and hunt for violets,Come, see the morning dew!Come, look into each other's eyesAnd find the-world is new!Forget your dusty Ph.

People come here full of health, vigor and en­thusiasm, and a few years dest�oy both the complex­ion and the disposition.

W. :W:E'l'HERLOW:".\',;1, ii.",J,)The maiden was astounded, there was not a Knightin all the Castles Seven such as he. He was a truegentleman, a man of the royal Round Table. Shefelt the kiss upon her hand yet; she still saw theplumed hat, doffed three times and three time yet.What a sad fate awaits the youth! she thought.Will he lose his chivalrous manner when he getswithin the castle walls, and listens to the prattle oferstwhile noble knights degenerated; or will he keepaloof and teach them his own example? That maybe an unconscious quest for him within the castleitself. So the maiden thought on.And for days, she waited and scanned the castleturrets for a glimpse of Launcelot, and she watchedeagerly the swaying of the great drawbridge to let herknight come forth on his quest.But vainly she waited, and once she saw him at adonjon window, fettere'd by the conventionality �'f thepeace. He did not know that he was bound and hesmiled contemptuously at her afar off. Yea, they hadbound him and were leading him about by a stringwhich he could not see, the string of prej udice.And the maiden said to herself: I have' wonderedoften why the women of the Seven Castles, and ill allthe castles round about, have risen in unwomanlyprotest, in petticoat rebellion. Perchance they, too,have met a knight from the outer world who kissedtheir hands with courtly reverence, and bowed thrice,and thrice again. Perhaps the knights have fbi-got­ten that they whom they dubbed as "fems," and" co- eds, " (vile epithets) are "Ladies" still; wormsperhaps in their estimation, but even the worm willturn when trodden upon!.Then the maiden sighed and picked up her book. Itwas all the result of those romantic benches scatteredover .the campus. She had only been asleep in herfavorite place. She was happy again for she knewthat in the Castles Seven, at least, the knights weregood as gold and true as steel. They rode forth dailyin quest of the" Great Abstract" and each wore uponhis lance, the sleeve of his " Lady." If it were notred or blue, it was always maroon.054 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.The Doctor's Difficulty.I am a purple Ph.

The sparks flew to their dizzy little .heightand fell harmless to the ground, as the baseball heroeswere dragged around in a cart by their enthusiasticcomrades.The harmony of the occasion was spoiled by the un­timely.arrival of the fire engine which proceeded todemolish with a stream of water everything withinits reach, including the young ladies present. Thisheroic treatment did not prove satisfactory to theguests and they withdrew to a safe distance, while thefire department explained that they had turned thewater on the, boys, as the H ounce of prevention"which would keep the hose from being mutilated bythe frisky young men. There had been, however, noattempt made to cut the hose by any of the students.The general disturbance, increased by this commo­tion, reached its height outside when an officer dashedup the steps of Snell and standing at the foot of thestaircase demanded upon what floor the president ofthe University could be found. He was answered bythe contents of a pitcher of water poured gently downfrom above. Aiming his revolver at the wall he dra­matically demanded the presence of the offender, whoit is needless to say did not appear. The officer re­treated backward out the door, still with his eye uponthe staircase.The interference in the celebration of our too as­siduous police was wholly uncalled for, inasmuch as itis a customary thing to have a bonfire after a victory,and several of the faculty were standing near to seethat the fire and enthusiasm were kept within bounds.The fire department had been notified in the afternoonby the participants of the celebration which wouldoccur in the evening. The next bonfire which takesplace on the campus will probably not be quenched byour fire depart men t.The Ellen B. Bastin Prize.The Ellen B.

Two plays, each of about anhour'? duration, have. been selected with' the help ofDr. Lewis and Professor Clark, and the parts assigned.It i� not yet definitely known when the plays will beacted.More interest might .have been manifested bythe students in the doings of the dramatic club.In almost every .college such organizations aregr�atly encouraged by the body of students, andthe amateurs are sufficiently stimulated to givesomething worth hearing. At Brown University, forinstance, they present every year some play, whichalways seems to be successful. At Harvard there is adramatic club which does itself great credit wheneverit comes before the public, and many of the women'scolleges have such organizations, which flourish and'improve.The dramatic club of our, University would do wellto follow the example of other colleges.bers should concentrate their energies, and give agood play, which would direct attention towards them,and wil,1 them at ,least strong recognition among theirfellow class-mates. Before long they would arouse asmuch, 'in,terest perhaps as the glee club. The dayshould pot be so far off when the dr�111atic club of theUniversity of Chicago will present to the faculty andstudents even a' Greek play.

By the end of the game, he had de­cided next time, to give at least nine of the 'Varsitybatters their bases on balls. Nichols and Jones taughthim that in the fifth inning, when their hard hittingscored three points. It is like rehearsing a funeral todescribe the last three innings. The breath of life hadalready left Michigan and even full bases availed hernothing. Nichols and Pike each, as short-stop andright fielder, gathered the balls in time to empty thebases of three or four men, and the grand stand tot­tered under the weight of Michigan hearts.The "Varsity team never played so well. Theirwork was deliberate and telling throughout. Clarke'sarm which had been reduced to pulp the day before,by a wild ball, did not keep him from bewildering theMichigan battery with his grape vines.Adkinson who had been dragged off a sick bed forthe occasion, was useful at the plate as well as atsecond. The score:358 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.HENRY T. CLARKE, PITCHER.T was needless to askwhere Michigan was,for Michigan was no­where. From the sol­em n mom e n t t hatNichols approachedthe plate in his statelyway, and put Sexton'sfirst ball in the rightfield, the hopes of theWolverines, declined.When Clarke, in thefirst inning,started theball for St. Joe, and he with three others saunteredhome, the only thing, that saved the grand-stand wasthe presence of the Michigan friends, who as gueststried not to be boisterous. Nichols followed suit inthe second, and fetched a home run, bringing twomen in with him.The 'Varsity slugging was too much for the formid­able Sexton, who yielded his place to Watkins, in thethird inning, but Watkin's circles were as wild as Chicago.

Attendance-2,ooo.The Woman's Gymnasium.There seems to exist a lamentable ignorance con­cerning the work in athletics of the young women ofthe University.While their brothers are winning on the baseballdiamond by scores such as 13 to I, the girls are notidle by any means.The gymnasium is equipped with heavy and lightapparatus and is much frequented by the youngwomen. The regulation dress which the students arecompelled to wear in their exercise, is of the collegecolor, maroon, and is fashioned suitable for their work. 'Much improvement has been noticed in the ,runningUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL\.��of the girls. The majority can run a quarter of a milewithout losing breath and many run a half withoutfatigue.During the winter quarter in which 180 were en­rolled, a large amount of heavy apparatus work andbasket ball training was carefully supervised by thegymnasium instructor, Miss Kate L. Anderson. Inthe spring quarter the work has been lighter and hasbeen made attractive by the use of piano accompani­ments in all the exercises. It has been proved thatdouble work can be accomplished when music is pro­vided.Some of the students have become very skillful inswinging Indian clubs, and the dumbbell exercisesare made enjoyable by the Anvil Chorus accompani­ment from Trovatore. The girls have done their out­of-door work in tennis, bicycling and walking withmuch vigor this spring. Twelve tennis teams wereorganized early in the quarter and have practicedsteadily.Many innovations have been introduced in the gym­nasium, among them broadsword fencing and maneu­vres in military marching. A physical examinationof each young woman is taken at the beginning of theyear and again at the close of the third quarter. Sta­tistics show in every case a development in girth ofchest from aquarter of an inch to two and a halfinches, and in lung capacity from five cubic inches toforty-five cubic inches. Other developments are inproportion to the above.The attendance at gymnasium classes is very regu­lar, and it is found that very few students take theirfull number of cuts.University Field Day Finished.The last events in the 'Varsity field day were com­pleted on May 21 and 22.In the last of the five jumping contests Steigmeyerleft Herschberger behind him, skimming over thebar at 5 -feet, 5 inches.Patterson, as was expected, carried off the cup inthe thirty-five yard dash, his time being 41-5.In the third bicycle contest for the cup, Bachelleagain lowered the 'Varsity record, this time coveringthe mile in 2 : 26, 6 seconds less than his last time.Besides these events, good work was done on thetrack by the trainers.Patterson's running the hundred in ten flat, was aconspicuous feature. If he does not use up his windin these preparatory spurts, lie stands a fair chanceof depressing the record on Friday.-The entries made for the Western Intercollegiatemeet on Friday, June I, are as follows:One hundred yard dash-H.

M_, at the grounds of the Kenwood Country.Club, corner of 48th street and Ellis Ave. The finalswill probably be held Thursday afternoon. A slightadmission will be charged, most of which will gotowards the cup.Unusual interest has been shown in this tourna­ment, Spaulding having given $25 on the prize cup,which goes to the college first winning five first prizes.Thornton and Cassidy have given a $25 gold. medalto the college that wins first. Wright and Didsonhave presented the association with eight dozen balls.There will be first and second prizes for both singlesand doubles.A meeting of the delegates was held in Cobb Hall,Tuesday night, to ratify the constitution and completethe arrangements for the next day. Besides our ownmen, representatives were preseut from the North­western and Lake Forest, Beloit, Knox, Wisconsinand Michigan.Athletic Meet.Judging from what we hear, the University of Chi­cago students are going to turn out pretty well at theathletic meet on Saturday.

President andMrs. Harper received the guests in the large library.At about nine o'clock there was a clapping of handsand the merry buzz 'Of conversation ceased. Dr. Har­per introduced Dr. Goodspeed, with a few remarksvery much to the point. Dr. .Goodspeed , representingthe Boardof Trustees, spoke earnestly 'Of the fact thatthe U ni versity athletic teams are made up of Christiangentlemen and men who stand well in their classes.Speeches followed by Miss Anderson, ProfessorStagg, Captain Abells and Messrs. Jones, Clark andNichols. The greatest good feeling prevailed. Men­tion was made 'Of the approaching Detroit game, atwhich Dr. Goodspeed was heard to remark, "Shut'em out! " All the speeches were marked not onlyby many expressions of joy at the magnificent successof the day, but by the highest enthusiasm for theteam. Nobody had ever seen a more harmonious,loyal, great-hearted 1'Ot of fellows, and the consensusof 'Opinion was that the time will soon come when 'Our, Varsity nine will be able to defeat any college teamin- the States,-and the sooner it comes the better!After much applause .and many congratulations thevictors and their friends were served with ice-creamand cake, and at ten 'O'clock the company adjournedto the scene of the bonfire.Intercollegiate Programme."
