THE TRAVEL OF WOMEN

Pandora and Eve and all women will go to any lengths to get knowledge. One hundred blithe and debonair damsels from Stephens College, Missouri, are now for the first time enjoying first-hand information of this great world. Under the watchful surveillance of a dean, a nurse and a biological expert, the contingent is exploring the most tempting and interesting parts of New York. "We want the girls to have a good time, "the dean stated; while the president explained that the tour was intended to acquaint the young women with facts. The girls, under the supervision of the biological expert, went to a musical comedy last night; it is now said that they will see a show every evening until their departure. But their favorite occupation is walking the streets of glamorous New York. They are not, however, confining themselves in New York, but are paying visits to West Point and when the girls arrive in Washington they will make a trip to Annapolis, where a number of them have friends, and others aspirations. Thence they have hopes of a romantic return by way of Niagara Falls.

The young ladies are not coming to New England, in spite of its broadening influence. When they are through with Washington they will be too completely tired and spent. If they came they would have but little time. Intellectual leadership seems to have passed from Yankee hands when Dartmouth, Yale, and Harvard have no appeal to these Dianas of the West.
