Soruo of the girls who coma up to Vassar are as helpless as babes. They are tho daughters of u illonaires, and never brushed their own haT or sewed a button on their boots in their lives. They are only too glad to have some onc do those things for them and that is how the poorer girls inake pocket money. Last year a pretty eyed girl canie to college and stated during the first wee c that her tuition and board were paid hy a kin I relative, but every penny for dress car fare and the thousand and one little incidentals she must earn herself. Soon after her arrival the following announcement appeared on her door: Gloves and shoes neatly mended for 10 cents each. Breakfast brought up for 10 cents. Hair brushed each night for ttfentyfive cents a week. Beds made up at 10 cents a week. That little freshman ru&de just $150 the first year and that paid all of her expenses and a good part of her tuition fee. - Vassar tirlin New York Journal
