A COLLEGE GIRL’S JOKE

Result of an Experiment In Spirit Photography.

“Human pervejMion. gentlemen.” said Professor Grimsby, lecturing to his class, “is very limited. The telescope shows us what is invisible to the human eye, and photography shows us what the telescope alone fails to re-‘ veal. A portion of the heavens exposed for hours to the telescopic camera gives a photograph of stars the existence of which could not otherwise be recognized.” Julian Main waring, one of those who heard the lecture, was of an inquiring turn of mind. “If an invisible star.” he reasoned, “may be photographed by long exposure, why not an invisible spirit?” The more he thought on the subject the more he felt disposed to make an attempt to test the truth of his theory. He took up his camera and. going to his homestead, now in charge of a caretaker, went to a room on the second floor, placed an old rocking chair in a window and planted his camera to point toward it. Now, it so happened that Julian Mainwaring bad a omsin, Kate Mainwaring. in the woman's college of the university, to whom he confided his experiment. Kate confided the matter to a friend, and in the afternoon the two girls visited the homestead, carrying between them a large gripsack. That evening Julian removed his plate and the next day made a proof. When he came to examine the result of his labor he nearly collapsed with astonishment. While he was examining it he received a note from his cousin Kate asking him to come in the evening and let her know the result of his spirit photography. On arrival he found several of Kate’s classmatesand several of his own. “Come. Julian.” said Kate as soon as he entered, “we are all anxious to learn the result. Did you get grandmother on your plate?" “I got something very queer,” he replied. producing his proof. It was a good deal blurred, as might be expected from a ghost picture, but there was recognizable not a wrinkled old woman. but a pretty young girl. Kate threw up her bands. “Grandma 1” she exclaimed. “Why. it’s a young girl,” said one of the fellows. ‘lt’s grandma as a girl.” said Kate. “You don’t mean it!” cried one of the girls. “Wonderful. 1 ” exclaimed another. “What a pleasure to know,” remarked one of the fellows, “that women at least are always young in the spirit land.” “And frivolous.” said one of the girls more given to flirting than to study. “At any rate.' they wear becoming clothes —the clothes they wore at the most attractive age.”

“Why, it’s grandma’s pink silk.” said Kate. “Mamma baa it upstairs in a trunk.” “What is she doing?’ “Sewing, but she’s put down her work and—would yon believe it?—she’s taking a pinch of snuff.” “Snoff! A young girt take snuff!” “Grandma did as an old woman, and that’s her snuffbox. It’s among our heirlooms.” “If they dress young they should act young. No girl ever took snuff.” “Julian, old fellow.” said one of his classmates, “tell us how you got it.” “You see, old Grim in bis lecture the other day, speaking of stellar photography”— “Yes; we all heard that. Go on.” “Well, it occurred to me to try the principle on spirits. I’ve heard father say that my great-grandmother, who died forty-five years ago at a very old age, used to sit every afternoon in the old rocking chair at a certain window. I resolved to try the camera on her. I left it exposed eight hours. You see the result. I don’t know what It means any more than you do " “I have heard Kate has the power of calling up spirits.” said one of her classmates. “I never beard of it,” said Julian. “Try it. Kate.” There was a universal demand for a spirit from the Hostess, so to quiet the clamor she called: t “Come forth, grandma!” A door opened, and the counterpart of the spirit photograph walked Into the room. She. wore grandma’s pink silk, though the color was nearly gone; grandma’s shoe buckles, grandma’s powdered wig. and in her hand she held grandma’s snuffbox, from which she proceeded to take an imaginary pinch. Julian Malnwaring stood looking at the apparition with eyes and mouth wide open. The others, all of whom were watching the effect upon him. burst into a laugh. Seeing that be had been made the victim of a practical joke, his eyes flashed ominously. “Come. Julian.” said Kate; “we’ve only had a little fun. You mustn’t mind our kittenish ways." “1 thought 1 told you my plan in confidence.” retorted Julian severely. “So you did. and I told Julie in confidence, and between us two we resolved to play a game on you. What will you take to forgive us?” Julian looked at the pretty “made up” girl longingly. “I think,” he said. “If grandma would give me a kiss I would forgive you.” ■ Grandma paid the penalty, and the room was cleared for a dance. 1

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

John Paul Jones, Cornell’s Wonderful Mile Runner.

1911, by American Press Association.

Probably the greatest performance which has been accredited to any man on any athletic field in the last two decades was shown recently by John Paul Jones at Cambridge, Mass., when he broke the record which stood for a mile for sixteen years. It was only by one-fifth of a second that Jones beat the mark which was made by Tommy Conneff years ago, but it was enough time to give the Cornell boy a mark to his credit which Is not likely to be broken in twice sixteen years unless it is dofie by Jones himself. It is only once in a great while that a runner of the caliber of Jones Is developed. He is one of tflose rare athletic prodigies which crop out once, in maybe every twenty years. It is claimed by experts that Jones bas not yet reached the zenith of his career as a runner and that he will do even better for the mile.

Diving Rules Displease. The regulations for fancy diving suggested by the Olympic committee for the games of 1912 hava been received by the Amateur Athletic union. They do not meet with the approval of Americans. Several of the most spectacular feats obtaining in this country have been excluded from the list of permissible dives altogether. The score card shows valuations not always in accord with American ideas, and the limit allowance of ten points is also criticised. It is probable that the matter will be thoroughly thrashed out by our authorities and suggestions for changes made according to their decision. Schmidt Out of Game For Good. it is believed here that Charley Schmidt has caught his last game of baseball for the Detroit club and that he never will catch a successful game for any other club. His arm has not improved one bit since he joined the team two months ago. He can hardly lob a ball to second base. The Tigers, one and all, believe Schmidt received his injuries in a prizefight in which be took part just before he joined the Tigers last March. Rauch Is Tiger Captain. A surprise was sprung in rowing circles at Princeton by the election of Rudolph S. Rauch of New York as captain of next year’s varsity eight He has had a good deal of experience at this year’s game, having been at No. 7 in this year’s boat, a member of the eight in bls' freshman year and for, three years a member of the St Paul school crews, Pay $15,000 For Stallion.

Parslow and George Haas, and the price paid was $15,000. According to Parish, he will be shipped to Russia at the end of the season. Childs Yale Track Captain. Clarence C. Childs. ’l2. Law. of Fremont. 0-. has been elected captain of the Yale frack team. Childs got his “Y” in the football game against Harvard last fall as tackle and took third place In the hammer throw at the intercollegiate track meet at Cambridge.

Good form

Good Form Don’t*. Don’t wear colored or fancy openwork stockings with your street shoes. Always choose plain stockings to match the shoes in color. Don’t pin your ruching and dress shields in place. Baste them instead and see how much more comfort they give you. It really doesn’t take much longer to baste than to pin. Don’t think that because collarless dresses and blouses are fashionable you can wear a low cut dress on the street. There is a vast difference between* “collarless" and “low necked.” Don’t buy any cheap jewelry and imagine it looks like anything but just what it is—a cheap imitation of a good article. Much jewelry is in bad taste at any time except with elaborate evening dress. Don’t wear soiled and mussed frills and ruchings. You had much better wear perfectly plain clothes without trimmings if you cannot keep these dainty accessories fresh and without soil. Don’t forget to see that your blouse is properly fastened before leaving your mirror. The waist gaping opeu at the back not only looks careless, but may cause - you some embarrassment too. Don’t allow your skirt to slip from under your belt. In these days there are so many devices for holding the blouses, skirts and belts in place that there is no girl who cannot find one to answer her purpose if she only tries. Don’t wear shoes or gloves that have lost their buttons and never wear shabby shoes or gloves if you can possibly avoid it. Keep the former nicely polished and the heels straight: keep the buttons on and the rips mended in the latter.

Receiving Guest*. How many women fail in the politenesses here when they give themselves up to Informal ways of doing things. A visitor not too well’known calls, and the lady of the house comes down in a loose, blousy wrapper, none too pretty or neat, without a word of excuse for not being properly dressed. This Is carrying informality to the point of ignorance, for if there is any reason why a loose garment is worn at a visiting hour it should at least be attractive and partially fitted to the figure. Then, in the event of some slight indisposition, it is possible to Invite a woman guest to go upstairs into a bedroom, where the dowdy dress of the hostess would not be so much out of place. To receive a man friend in such attire would be a grave indiscretion, for men abominate the flowing, unattractive robe, and as it is always suggestive of the absence of corsets it seems on such occasions vulgar in the extreme. The easy house gown, then, must look as if it Is worn over corsets to be within the pale of the proprieties, and if masculine eyes are to look upon it it must be attractive and belted in to the figure to boot. But only an old lady or a young matron who is compelled to dress in this manner should make a practice of receiving guests in such informal attire, for the dignity of suitable dress adds greatly to one’s social importance—above all, pretty, proper and becoming dress in the borne. Note* of Condolence. There are persons who never take notice of another’s sorrow until they meet the bereaved ones. Sometimes this attitude is from feat of intrusion, again It is from fear of not saying the right thing, too often it is from procrastination. ' Whatever the reason, it Is a mistake. There are some few who dislike outside sympathy in sorrow’. The majority are hurt if It is not given. They never quite feel the same toward the friend who they think was neglectful of their trouble. The visiting card with a few words of sympathy is sufficient, save among close frjends. A married woman incloses card of her husband. k. Never/make a note of condolence stilled. It should express you and not be an essay on grief. Also be brief. A few sincere sentences count more than pages of rambling platitudes. It is customary to send the note to the member of the family you know best. Including the others in your expressions of sympathy. Etiquette For Children. In answering a person children should not say “Yes, ma’am,” or “No, sir,” but “Yes. mother,” “No, father,” “I hope so, Mrs. Brown,” “Thank you, Aunt Helen.” They should. In other words, always affix the title or name of the person spoken to. - Shyness is generally due to ignorance of what is expected of one; therefore the shy child must be treated with great consideration and encouraged to come among strangers and older people and then be shown just what to do and say. No school of etiquette offers so many opportunities to its members to learn the correct way of doing things as the family table. No corrections should, however, be made in such manner as to attract the attention of others, and, if possible, make the corrections after the meal is over.
