"I wish I was an angel. a little English girl recently, "for then 1 could drop bombs on the Germans." Which reminds us of a Bismarck story. Bismarck was shot at one day and his wife greatly Incensed at the would-be assassin, declared that if she was In heaven and saw him coming up ladder she would push him down into hell. "Hush, my dear," said Bismarck; "You would not be there with such thoughts as those." ROBIN SPRING The psychological spring of the north is a robin. This week found It distributed over large stretches of country, from Hastings-on-Hudson, Ji, to Kokomo, Ind.

Robin spring Is a mental attitude attained through exposure to the slanting rays of the February sun. It Is the optimist's spring, as opposed to the pessimist's or almanac spring, which won't be due for several weeks, more or less. Tradition says the early bird gets the worm. The optimist Is an early bird, with a hereditary taste for sassafras. He gathers up the sunbeams of today, without stopping to look at the calendar.

He Is unafraid, never being obsessed with danger of doing something terrible precipitant. He can discuss the Joy of living without having a nervous chill. He knows there is many a slip 'twlxt the cup and the lip, that tomorrow may bring a blizzard, yet he will not banish from his mind the robin of today. Theoptimist knows that he Is a pest to the' pessimist but this does not disturb him. The philosophy of happiness is his.

The robin spring belongs to him liy right of discovery, and he leaves the clouds, the rain and the sleet of tomorrow to those who felt the storm coming. EXCURSIONS TO VASSAR, (From the Cleveland Leader.) Vassar girls may now walk out with their beaux on a Sunday afternoon or entertain them of a Sunday evening guite like American girls. This privilege, unknown at the famous college for women only during the half-century or more of Its existence, has Just been granted by Its new president, Dr. Henry N. MacCraoken.

What is' more Hccoidlng to the returns from Fough-keepsle, the very first open Sunday brought an attendance of about two hundred men. Roughly speaking one of the Vassar girls in every six had a gentleman friend on the Job. There goes the superstition that a woman's college needs to be ran on penitentiary principles. Here comes the revelation that American women of college age do not xequlre to be cooped up for safety's sake. How far the new idea has progressed Is not fiure, but with this Impetus at Vassar it ought to extend rapidly until girl Mudents there aiU at other institutions of its kind are accorded as much foetal liberty as anybody.

The concession. It Is true, comes from a man after generations of Vassar girls. It is fair to presume, had failed to elict It from his predecessors either male or But so do most the concessions to woman's onward march proceed from complacent man. The Sunday fussing privilege is no less si victory of femininism for that, nor or whatever Dr. MacCracken may have had In mind when- he granted it.

If his thought was to "render the Institution more attractive In the eyes prospective students, the motive Wfns shrewdly planned. Young women with minds open to the cultural advantages of the social phases of college life will think better of Vassar particularly If, instead of being an ex-' fptirnal phenomenon occasioned by morbid curiosity or love or adventure, the first Sunday's crowd of trousered callers comes back stronger and stronger on succeeding Sundays, even 'o the point of needing excursion rains from New Haven and New York. Serious minded young women who ex-j to acquire all their learning from books can floe to Vassar as heretofore, while the others kind need no longer be deterred from Vassar by he spiteful Insinuation current at coeducational colleges that only those ta go to who have no hope competing successfully for the favor of men 3- PERSONAL MENTION a Miss Nellie Perkins of Lake Presto visiting Mrs. M. 11.
