Those on the other side, feit that her present duties are altogether too great to admit of ■ new ones ; that the home would sufsufi'er in her absence ; that the key note of society is the home life ; and that by adding her voice in politics vvould but increase the already too large number of voters without being any advantage.

In fact our college widow would have outshown many oi them in brilllancy aml beauty. This is not a prejudiced view of the case, but is the way lt looked to one not interested. The live or six Ann Arbor girls who did attend the hop were in no way, shape or manner, out-ranked or out classed. They were the peers of any there.
