word "lady," Perhaps, he suggested, the word woman" had become out of date, but he con ldered this a pity, as there was nothing dis ¿courteous in it. The word "lady" did not stand for purity, kindness, and affection ni “woman”

did.

There is, however, a subtle charm which it is difficult either to analyse or explain about ¿"lady." It appears to afford, special attrac; tions to those members of the fair sex who serva in the large millinery and drapery establish. ments. At one lame Londen house, where one of our representatives made inquiries, he wa informed that the unwritten law on the sub ject is merely the outcome of a custom. It Poriginated in no specific request on the part of the "young ladies" to be termed such, but

This Jamiliarity is not often resented, but to be de- "signated a "young person" at once aroused ire. Cariously enough, the word "woman".io always' u-ed', in connection with the word *sales."

In the colleges and universities where both 'sexes are educated "fady-student" is a term often used. In Scotland, however, at some places the, students of the fair sex have consi dered the question seriously, in Aberdeen, for instance, an informal decision was arrived at that the term war an objectionable one, and Bow on all notice boards instructions refer only a woman-students" at the university there,-St. James's Gugette.

A DUST-STORM IN INDIA.

India does nothing by halves. The terrific nature of the recent earth-quake points a care. When it rains in Lodia it rains by the month steady, slogging dewrpour, with a noiso like bail on à tin roof, transforming the country from arid waste in grind, green grass, three feet high by the end of the rainy season, When it is hot in India it is hot, beatable tilf tengin the morning and after five in the even- ing between which bonis you lie semi-nude beneath a punkak and sweat and swear. When it is cold it in cold. You look back on

the recent hot weather (during which you wished yourself dead every time you moved) and yearn for its return When there is a dust-storm it but let me describe the last remember.

Five-thirty of the afternoon, c'oudless sky burning sun, balf way through the third "chuk ker" of a station game of pulo. Very exciting, deplorably hat; not a sign of the coming

holocaust.

Suddenly from the syces squatting alongside the.spare ponies comes a cry of "Haneri 1" At that moment "One" smacks a neat goal against us (a near-sider and a beauty "Haners!" comes the cry again."Damn!" says someone, and we follow the direction of the syces' wild gesticulations.

It's a pukka humeri for surg. High, high overhead sweeps a drive of hawks and vul- tures; back of them a reddish-brown blob of cloud, spreading, flinging up in gusty spirals, advancing, even as you watch it.

You waste no time in watching. The pole ground is two miles from the club, and unless that shelter is reached before the storm takes you you'll get hurt.

Round comes your pony, in ge your spurs; you jam your bat down hard, and-scoot! Every thing alive is, like yourself, on the run. Na tivan legging it towards the Bazaar; ladies putting their "buggy, ponies at it all they (know; fat babus rattling along 'in ekkas, Ai every house we pass the servants are dragging in chairs and tables from the verandahs, bolting jwindows, and shutting doors,

We are nearly home, but the storm has the *Flegs of us, catches, envelops us, and next mo- ¿ment you are riding in darkness dark as any London fog, coughing and choking as the tinging dust whips into your face, your eyes, your pdse, your mouth..

And here's the club.
