It is Indeed an “ominous sign of the times,”’ as the stump: speakers say, that the average height of the entering class at that admirable in- stitution for the higher education of women, Smith College, is no less than 8 feet 10 inches. For here is no isolated case, no eccentricity, no accident, but a case in perfect ace jcord with the facts that daily thrust themselves upon us, | The nverege height of the American male is 5 feet 8 inches, The average height of the American female of the | pant and passing generations ja B feet 4 inches, The height lof the Venus de Medici, model of feminine proportions tn former times and in the Europe of to-day, is an even B feet, No doubt the average of stature for the American male is rising.

Who are they of the gorgeous gowns, they of the lovesick men in attendance, they of the | haughty air of assured triumph? But granted that the American father dotes on the tall daughter and the American male love-seeker yearns for the long lady, there still remains the question; Does ihe long lady marry so easily as the short lady? In present conditions that is a mighty important ques- \tion.
