Woman's World

Miss Margaret Evans, president of %he Minnesota Federation of "Woinen's Clubs, is one of the most oultured ladies in the west. A thoroughly traveled woman, she has reinembered most of what she kas geen, and her early and complete training in the classics gave her a keenness of appreciation of what she saw in Europe that is the good fortune of few travelers. "You must take the Pantheon with you, ' ' said Professor Snider, and certainly if any one that has gone abroad has had a genuine feeling for the classics it is Miss Evans. She has spent most of her life in Minnesota. Her academie education was given her at Winona. Thence she entered the Lawrence university at Appleton, Wis. Before entering college she taught four years and spent her vacations in her capacity as pedagogue. She has a fine appreciation of the excelling pointa of a teacher in the classics. After some experience in the seminary at Fox Lake she returned to her tmiversity to assume the important position of teacher of German, Latin and Greek. At present her forte is English literature, and her lectures on this topic make up an important part of the commentaries on letters in America. Miss Evans has made several trips abroad. On her last literary pilgrimage to Europe she took with her a party of Americana in■terested in English literature. This party visited the homes of the great English poets and studied their works under the infonning influence of the scènes that environed the atithors when they wrote. Since that time, which was five years ago, Miss Evans has spent a year in study at Berlin, Heidelberg and Oxford. For 15 years she has been president of the womau's board of missions for the interior. At present she is the lady principal of Carleton college, and prefers the work appertaining to that post to other fields more attractive. -
