THOSE SENSIBLE WOMEN
The University is starting the winter with one exceptional feature. The women are dressing more sensibly than the men. The prevailing style seems to be for men to wear low shoes and many are proving themselves slaves to fashion. The women are wearing coats to a great extent but they are nearly always tipped by woolen hose. Few women are seen on the hill this freezing weather in pumps and silk stockings, a common sight in other years. High heels are almost extinct and common sense in dress is so much in vogue that the woman in walking shoes has a feeling of pity for her high-heeled sister. Even rubbbers are not looked upon so contemptually as in former years.
The freshman was allowed to discard his cap just at the critical time, but some of the headgear worn by the men is hardly more sensible than that diminutive cap. Certainly few of the hats and caps worn by the men afford as much warmth to them as the present way of dressing their hair gives the women.
Without a doubt the wollen dresses worn by the women are warmer than the silk and maidens shirts worn by the majority of the men, so as a whole the women are better fitted to withstand the severe weather or arly winter. Times are changing and by next winter the men may be slipping and sliding around the campus in dancing pumps and low necked shirts and the women attired in boots and ear muffs.
THE RAG DOLL
The season has again arrived when the women's pages of various periodicals feature among their directions for home-made Christmas gifts the personal rag doll.
The current suggestion calls for an old pair of white stockings, water colors to pain the features and hair, finely shipped paper in lieue of the expensive cotton for the necessar stuffing, and any sort of goods the maker may have handy to cloth her ladyship withal. Following the diagram a treasure is produced to delight the heart of some small girl, and all goes merrily as the Christmas bella.
Whatever the psychological reaction may be, the average mother of many kids loves the rag doll far better than any creation of the most famous shouts. And if, perchance, she has put her together herself, however crusade and hugely the result, she loves her all the more. She is a part of herself, a wonderful imitation of the real flesh-and blood child of the real mother.
This nansen bit of womanhood is not an isolated member of society. We all love our rag dolls which some
beneficent spirit brings, or which we
anticipate for ourselves. And every co-educational institution is a kind of rag-doll factory. Every young woman who enters its doors not only dolls herself up with all the odds and ends at her command, but also makes out of the college man whom she elects to favor, a most attractive dressed-up symbol that pleases her the more as she fills him out here and there in her mind's eye, and clothes him with the gifts and grace of her changin' dreams.
The little boy usually sterns to pla with dolia. He is a terrible savage a mighty hunter, an invincible warrior; but when he becomes a man he falls under the power of the dolspirit along with his devotion to the real lady of his selection. He lends himself delightfully to her exquisite artistry as he tries his own hand upon himself, and all unconsciously he revels in his touch upon the doll his doll seems to be, and what she may become.
Eons old is the symbol of the rag doll. Long before man and women and children ever were, the necessity for human expression waited the fullness of time. To make something to fill a want and then to love it because it is one's very own—to picture ourselves and other people as we would have them be, is just the same old principle of reproductive life coming forth over and over again. "In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," but Christian mas time is all the time, so be that we can only hold fast to the thing our rag dolls stand for, and keep or playing our creative game.
Mental Lapses

"Neither do I." replied Jones. "If he loses he gets hot-headed, and if he wins he gets cold feet."

I had a dream the other night:
I dreamed that the umbrella
I loaned away back in the fall

Had been returned by him at last.

"In the past few months," says a wacky paper. "London has been educated in railway strikes, and knows what to do." But it doesn't want to be "educated" like that—it wants to be trained—lod 'Dismissing Pass Show'
All Accounted For—One morning a woman walked into a village grocery store with a majestic strife. It was easy to see by the sternness of her expression that she was somewhat disturbed.
To a careless sort of fellah.
"This," she sarcastically explained, throwing a package on the counter, "to the washing itself. It's the soap that洗着 a pleasure. It's the soak—
"That isn't soap, madam," interrupted the grocery man, examining the package. "Your little girl was in here yesterday for a half pound of cheese and a half pound of soap. This is the cheese."
"U-m, that accounts or it," said the woman, as the light of understanding began to glow. "I wandered about and noticed a little ford but for samper taste so queer."
—"San Francisco Argonaut."
THE CULPRIT
My grandfather related this to me,
And I forgot it for a score of years
Until to-day, I pass it on to you:
A lovely woman had her portrait drawn.
she caused A golden frame to be constructed for
Indifferently, stole the lovely thing;
(Ay frame and all) and carried it
away.
Of curious work and wonderful design
And very costly. And a certain man
Of her acquaintance, whom she looked
A lovely picture of her lovely face, she had made.
There came another man, and this one
On whom she looked with more than
passing favor:'
Yet, I knew the other, so said word.
But smiled a little to her self.
But he was imbeculous, and he Stole the rich frame but let the portrait lie.
Where at she raged and called upon the law.
The University of Michigan has completed the purchase of more than twenty acres of land for the site of the new university hospital.
On Other Hills
And had the cuiprit taken, tried and hanged! — Cleveland, Plain Dean
University of Utah students will be permitted to dance for one hour after dinner in the cafeteria.
The proposal of a new armory building, costing about $125,000 has been considered at Utah University.
The Independents at Colorado University gave their second dance in the armory last Friday evening.
Over $1,400 was subscribed by the students of the Oklahoma Agyres for the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. budget.
Flannel shirts and corduroys will be worn hereafter by the male juniors and seniors of Idaho University for "economy and comfort."
The question has been brought up by the president of the student body of the Utah Agnetes to have the dances on Wednesday at noon an hour in order to close at 11 o'clock.
The Connecticut Agricultural College will enter in a triangular debate with Massachusetts Augies and the Rhode Island State College.
The girls at Colorado College are holding a tennis tournament.
Plans are being discussed at Colorado College for the installation of a new national dramatic fraternity. The fraternity has not been revealed.
Baskets of chrysanthemums, boxes of lavender, carnations and roses, sit by the students on his sixty-five given to President William O. Thompson of the Ohio State University fourth birthday.
Green Golfer—"Does it make any difference which club you use?"
Caddy—"Not to me, it don't."

SHYING AT NEW GATES
A cowshies at a new gate; a man is ruffled by a new law. Mental transitions are troublesome. Improvements are welcome where innovations are not, because the former allow us to go on our old way with less effort while the latter require that we strike leaders enjoy only beaten popularity because followers are so slowly in arriving. We feel it is a reflection on our intelligence to be shown better. That Europe hurled every available word of abuse at Ibsen writing and then sent loving cups and engraved albums to Ibsen dying, is about what we should expect of the watchdog which shows its teeth at the new wagons its wage in its better acquisition.
In its attitude toward the individual leader, however, the world is growing better. Bruno was burned at the stake when he was accused of merely put hinderance in his way until we catch up. If this takes place during his life, we become courteous; if not, we grow lavish. If the shock incident to accepting the new teaching in too great, we let ourselves down in too sincerely—i.e., New York Elevation Post.
BREAKING IT GENTLY
Raymond Poincaré, President of the French Republic, was visiting the Longwy district recently. Not far from Longwy is Thierville, to which ortress town is attached a Foinecar "tradition de famille." In 1792, besieged by the Duke of Brunwick, he under. In reply, the commander of the garrison placed on the most exposed portion of the battlements a wooden horse, hanging from his neck truss of hay. To the Duke of Brunwick he sent word that as soon could deliver up the fodder he would officer was a Foinecar, an enmeshed of his President's.
The French are melting coins.
What is there to that? Most any of us can make coins melt.
“Feiss Sees End of Strikes”—which end?
Who was it that asked when coal would begin to be meted as sugar, in small paper packets?
How blessed is the student who is not easily annoyed! The one who can sit through a class with the feet of the person behind him constantly scrapering the rounds of his chair little all that he has to be thankful for.
With no more dances until the fuel man is lifted, and the prospects of the heaters closing, Lawrence has been able to protect them almost as slow as the home town.
A student was heard to remark, "I don't see what people are going to eat when the coal supply is exhausted."
Benefits Even,—"How is it, Sandy," asked a visitor of a coal merchant, "that you quote the lowest prices in town and make reductions to your friends and yet can make money?"
"Weel, it's this way," explained Sandy in an undertone. "Yee see, I knock off two shillings a ton because a customer is a freen o' mine, and then I knock off two hundred weight 'ton' because I'm a freen o' his."

She had shipped on fortunes sea and wrecked her boat. She had pawned her lunch and lost her ticket
Some Little "FLIER" you'll say!
And Christie Comedy
But she found one pawnbroker with a heart—And what did he do but become her "Uncle" and move her into love and society.
