West, sends her daughter to A; Mrs. Borax (Y), from the same city, sends
her daughter to B. Upon consulting the local social register, it is
found that Mr. Raleigh-Jones is a member of the Union, Colonial, Town
and Country, and Valley Hunt Clubs; upon consulting the telephone
directory it is found that the Boraxes live at 1217 S. Main Street, and
that Mr. Borax is an undertaker. Shall Mrs. F. B. Gerald (Z) send her
daughter Annette to A or to B, and why?

Answer: A, because life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not
its goal.

CORRECT EQUIPMENT FOR THE SCHOOLGIRL

Having selected an educational institution, the next requisite is a
suitable equipment. Girls who live in other parts of the United States

1 wave, permanent, for conversation.
24 waves, temporary.
10,000 nets, hair.
100,000 pins, hair.
1 bottle Quelques Fleurs, for knockout.

After the purchase of a complete outfit, it will be necessary to say
goodbye to one's local friends. Partings are always somewhat sad, but
it will be found that much simple pleasure may be derived from the last
nights with the various boys to whom one is engaged.

In this connection, however, it would be well to avoid making any rash
statements regarding undying friendship and affection, because, when you
next see Eddie or Walter, at Christmas time, you will have been three
months in the East, while they have been at the State University, and
really, after one starts dancing with Yale men--well, it's a funny

the Atlantic Monthly and carry it, in plain view. Next to a har
