About Waterloo Bridge there was a peculiar dignity that has fasein, ated the world. Capova, the Italian sculptor, said of ita nine granite arches and intervening pillars so perfect in their proportions, that here was the finest bridge in Eur- ope. and many an ttrehiteet has echo- ed this verdict. For 30 years Britain has been fighting the Battle of Waterloo Bridge. The struggle is over. Under the blows of the Wreckers this great landmark in London is rapidly crum- bling, and already it is a memory. There are two reasons for the change. First, the boats along the Thames are said to have been im-' paired by the old bridge. Secondly, it is stated that six lanes are needed for traMe across the river instead of four lanes. These considerations have gained the day, end according to a multitude of sorrowful admir- ers of the bridge, the proud sweep of London's curving Embankment will never be the same. The design of the new bridge has been intrusced to an architect, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, in whose genius Britain takes especial pride. It was he who, when barely 21 years of age, beat all competitors by his design of Liverpool Cathedral, which is regard- students raises a good many interest.. ing questions.

And where Vassar has led, Smith and Wellesley and Brynmawr and the rest are said to be likely to follow. But not I trust, Girton and Newham, Somerville and Lady Margaret. If the unsettlement due to secret marriages is incompati- ble with systematic study so is the uttsettlement--or rather the distract- ion-of orthodox marriage, partie- lularly if, as " Vassar, the women students are still to live in what are there called dormitories and here hostels. To defer marriage till the not inordinately advanced age of, say, 22, is a hardship to no one, and young women who cannot reconcile them.. selves to that are hardly likely to be the type to profit most by a degree course at a cniversity.-.

By the dark shadows of Waterloo Bridge at night, the luxuriant ini- agination of Charles Dickens was no less stirred.

They) stood on the terrace and looking It the river. "You have a Mississippi in America," he said, "and a St. Law, rence and they are bigger than this little strum.

They do not atop to think that the beauties of nature are com- mon property and that all should be careful to preserve them. l Picnics are an enjoyable pastime. It is pleasant to find some shady spot and lunch or dine there away from the heat and formality of town or city. But there are too many peo~ pie who are inconsiderate enough to turn these ideal spots into miniature replicas of a garbage dump and spoil the pleasure of other people who are] picnic-bound.
