V ODDITIES OF.OXFORD SOME CURIOUS FACTS CONCERNING THE OLD ENGLISH UNIVERSITY. Attaadaaea at Dlaaer Xeceaaary ta Oatala a Deirrte Tb Cor lev Hoar 'Far StadatiMQacr Cualaaui ! taa Yariaa. Call.-... Special Corrcupondenc. - ' London, April 21. Tle American boy who la fortunate enou'gii to ho awarded no of Cecil Itnodes Oxford scholar Ships will find much to Interest lilw at the Historic old university, bat be will also find mucb that la puzallnj; and much that will be in his eyes eccentric The university Is a collection of col leges and halls, twenty-two in all, aud ach has Its own matriculation. The lucky American boy who wishes to en--ter Oxford must first apply to the head of whatever college be desires to be Identified with. He will b asked a number of questions about his previous education, family history etc. If the bead thinks that the youth Is likely to prove an ornament to the' college In some branch of learning, be will give him a preliminary 'examination and place bis name upon the rolls. , After this the student Is governed by the rules ef bis college except to report for the. various university, examina tions. No student can obtain an Oxford degree unless he has kept his "terms" that Is! has lived at Oxford for three .years.? That be has done so js deter mined, oddly enough-by attendance at dinner in the college hall The student may skip any other meal that he pleases, but If be does not put in aa ap - pearance at dinner it Is counted against 1 trim unless he can give a satisfactory -excuse. Bis attendance at lectures has little or nothing to do with ft so far as keeping tab" on bis presence at the college la concerned. One of the requisites In the Cecil Rhodes scholarships Is that the student must.be efficient In some branch of -eporti This is an absolute essential at Oxford as far as the students bappl xtess is concerned, for a young man who tried to resist the athletic atmos phere of the place would ha ve a decid edly, unpleasant and lonesome,, exist ence. At Oxford, unlike most Ameri can universities, the sports are man aged absolutely by the students, and no graduate la permitted to Interfere or participate In them except In an honor- THE NEW SHIRT WAISTS. oata af taa Haw 'Made Far Wi .' Waatk.r Waav. , Special Corraapondenca, " , New York. April 29. Moore telui ua that "the trail of the serpent was over them alL" Had be lived until today It la very likely that be would, have said the trail of tha shirt waist is over them all" instead, for the shirt waist dominates everything. Even the hand somest of the street suits have the ubiquitous shirt waist in evidence, be It of some light material udder the coat or Jacket of the tailor suit or a real shirt waist of . the stuff of which the rest of the costume Is made. I But of course with the approach " of warm days the waist will of necessity be of the thinnest of the materials In vogue ; for these convenient and ; economical garments. '-They are' economical 1 be cause they save the more -expensive waists, and so one skirt can be made to do treble duty. , Just now the daintiest of the waists are made of wash silks and of pongee Ba Wn Iki Uitrar. Here Is brand new story about tut bluff and hearty ex-Coveroor Hogg ot Texas. The ex -governor Is one of In- new millionaires of the Beaumont oil field. He mad early Investments therv and has leaped a rich harvest. At tt botel at Beaumont his particular wain was one George, a sable skinned gentle man of numerous ; accompliabmenta ill Ifc .., I " 'IB fins m CHB1STCHCRCH COLLEGE, OXrOBD. .ary way, as treasurer or the like. The rules governing sports, "however, are In the main what tbey are In America. An Oxford law that mahy an A inert can will find Irksome Is that which re quires the men to be in residence by 8 o'clock at night If tbey are out later than that, tbey are 8 ned. Between 8 and 10 the fine Is twopence, between 10 and 11 threepence and between 11 and midnight a shilling. If a student makes a practice of staying out Inte. lie gets Into trouble with the bead of bis col .... lege. ; ; ; v"xv i;rX . t -;.v-r':"'T' A:.'- i ne various , colleges cave some quaint customs peculiar to themselves. For instance, at Magdalen a choir al ways chants a Latin by mn at dawn of May 1, This custom dates back 600 years. At Mertori college when dinner Is over the senior fellow strikes the ta ble three times with a trencher. The ound brings up the butler, who then enters in a book what each man has re ceived from the Duttery. ' Then the grace cup Is handed round, and, the trencher being struck once more, the Bible clerk says grace. Queen's college, literally a favorite of England's queen, cherishes several cus toms that have been little changed within a century. Every New Year's day the college bursar presents to each Student a needle and thread colored fclue, red and yellow and says, "Take ihls and be thrifty." Oxford in general is one of the ex pensive centers of education.

These Jackets are abort, scarcely reaching to the waist line and sometimes laid In pressed folds, but quite as often left plain. Tbey all bang loosely from the form and are variously called Monte Carlo and Newport Jackets. All bave wide sleeves, mostly rather abort reaching scarcely to the ,' wrist " The neck Is finished aa best pleases the fan cy of the wearer, but most of tbeni have flat collars, frequently of lace or application, with plaited chiffon ruffles around the lower edge r Bo wben ' a lady In a shirt waist wants to go out and does not quite like the Idea of appearing In such a waist in the street without some attempt at u more dressy garment these fill "a long felt want" aa We say. . Tbey are made indifferently , of Shangtung silk, black taffeta or even some one of the nice tai lor stuffs. One was of gray Shangtung, and , all around, .the e garment, sleeves and all, went two rows of .white satin ribbon. jThls was very effective wben pressed Into i the , wide : folds of the sleeves and short back and fronts. But nothing on earth can make one of these Jackets pretty or graceful. ' , - To return to the Important topic of shirt waists, now Is the time when the wash waists will displace the lined silk ones and the woolen and velvet ones. Still for dressy requirements we see Shangtung, pongee taffeta, foulard, peau de sole, peau de cygne and china crape waists in many different designs: But these are ?for Sundays,"1 and what we need most la everyday attire, for there Is but one Sunday In the week. I may say, though, , that tucking and Insets of lace are the proper trimmings for the Silk waists,' The wasb walsta are made of ging ham, madras, chambray.i cheviot all tbe lawns, dotted Swisses and organ dies, besides tbe percales, dimities and mercerized goods, and cotton etamines. Some of this latter material Is really beautiful, though costing but about 12 cents a yard. It takes about three yards to make a shirt waist of this for a medium sized woman. - . A new shape In the waists is called the Gibson waist though why 1 cannot Imagine unless It is because It does not In the least resemble anything that 1 ever saw in any of. his pictures. This special waist and many are tbe varia tions of it has a kind of bretelle effect produced by extending the sides at the front out over the shoulders so as to give the appearance of having broad and square shoulders. This is shaped somewhat like tbe shield shirt bosoms for men, and It comes to a close point at the bottom In front with rather less bulge than is found In most shirt waists. The folds at the edge of the shoulder in .most cases go over the shoulder and down to the center of the buck. In white plqtie, dimity-or cambric these are made with tucks running from top to bottom, sometimes close and then again few and far apart The foi ls are all laid backward, so the last une w!U ire tie rrrrr c"oct at the sbor.Uor.
