more dramatic than the dory of thla
woman ami the Hidden revelation of

public wa told that one of the most
beautiful the mod brilliant and the
most charming graduate of thl ycur'a

public hi nteney Intereated but to
no one did the revelation come with

1S!J she entered Vassar frim whbh

During her four year at college ahe
waa a prominent and brilliant figure In
the life of the great Institution. 8b
became a leader among the girl a
member of the most exclusive college
aocletle. a guest In the bet Tough-
eepale famllle and the Idol of a large
following of enthuilaatlc freehmen. Hhe
waa lovingly called "the beautiful
brunette." It waa euppoed that ahe
had Spanish or pooalhly Indian blosd
In her vein. No one dreamed that In

lived an honeit mulatto who wa ner
father and a prepoealng mulatto
woman who waa her mother. Moth of
the were light In rolor and they bad
bequeathed to their child with the
mixed blood of their race regular fea-
turea and a clear olive rcmplexlon
which many a white woman would give
much to posaer.
To these parenta Anita waa born
twenty-five yeara ago. Her father waa
a ( lever and Industrloua man. He
worked hard. and. almost from the be

ginning he wa able to give hi family
the adxntage offered by the average
white huxhand and father of the middle
rlaaa. Anita had a happy thlldhoo.l.
Khe wa sent to school where (he as-
sociated with the white chlldien of her
age. At thi time there wa no effort
made by her parenta to conceal the
negro drain In her blood. It wa prob-
ably the unconscious shrlnklug away
from her of aome playmate that first
taught the colored child her ow n aloof-
ness and showed her that (he must
make much of life' JrMirney alone. The
thought did not discourage the ambiti
on little girl who quietly laid out the
plan of life whbh khe ha so consis

point that her career may be (aid to

lltne a girl of twenty with a beautiful
fare a splendid Intellect and a habit
of Introspection. Her patents initialed
wholly with their colored friends and
her home life had brought her Into
contact with the people of her own
race. The line between her and the life
(he wished to lead seemed very (harply
drawn. There wa nothing about her
however to lugged her negro blood.
Her (kin wa a clear olive her eye
oft and dark her hair (tralght a an
Indian her figure and carriage per-
fect. She looks llku a Spanish or
Italian girl.
At Northfleld Mis Hemming first
had the experience of associating In-
timately with girl not of her own
rare. Her loom-mate there however
waa a Mis llrssie linker a mulatto
like herself. Mis nker bus since he-
came the wife of W. II. Uwia a well-

Stranger looking at either of them
bad no uplilon of (he presence of a

alMiont the great handicap whbh he
had carried so long. Khe determined
to conceal th fart of her negro origin.
Thla Implied no false statement. Khe
had merely to let It lie assumed that
he wa a the other were.
Ml Hemming entered Vaasar. No
one atked her whether ahe waa negro
or New Englander. Indian or Spanish.
She wa young hrllllnnt and beautiful.
That waa enough. She had passed an

and he told It to obtain relief. IVr-
hapa the dlsrloaure wa accidental. No
one know. Hut the girl chose her con-
fident wisely. She told her dory to a
member of the farulty-onc of the most
popular professor In the college. This

woman'a attitude toward her HrlllUnt
pupil may Im- assumed from the fact
that she uhru.ucntly visited Anita at
her lloston home during the holiday.
The Hemming were humble people
and they mule no effort to conceal the
fact from the college professor who was
their guest. Their friend and associ-
ates were colored people. There wa
no pretense of being white.
With the exception of thl friend.
Mis Hemming entertained no guest
from Vnsssr in her ll.mton home. The
professor like .n't. kept the secret
well. Anita's room-mate was a lutl-
ful and popular student whose family-
held a high social position. Not even
thl girl (uopcite.l the truth for year.
When die did Anita nrt great trou-
ble came.
Misa llenimlng'a progres through
Vassar was a triumphal one. She had
a lieautlful voice hen. die joined the
lee club. She was also taken Into the
choir and became a leader In the musi-
cal act of the college. She Joined the
choial club. A the months passed (he
wna made a niemlier of other college
association. Among these were the
Contemporary cluh. the 'T Federal Ie.
bating acMlety a tl-eck cluh and the
Marshall dull. Hut these were not all
her triumph.
There are dance and fed day at
Vassar In ahlch Harvard Yale and
Princeton men are allowed to partici-
pate. In large numlxT these young
men bowed at Anlta'a shrine. It wa
a Princeton Jouth who gave her the
aobrlqurt by which ahe became re-
nowned "the beautiful brunette."
It waa her room-mate who finally
caused the temporary downfall of thla
trlklng figure from Ita fine college
eminence. In aome manner thla girl
had discovered that Anita waa of negro
parentage. Ehe tnmediatel changed
her room and discontinued the ee.
quaintaureshlp. It wa the first blow
In the colored girl' college course-
and It w as a bitter one. Anita awaited
f tn t lirr blows with au agonized fear.
She knew that the stoiy would spread
like wlblllre through the college and
she felt that the iipbiiliillus of the
structure she had raised was but a
istc of time. To wlnit end was all
her wotk mid study. If the friends the
loved turned from lor and the college
she loved cloned Its doors to her? No
one knows what tbc girl snfl nd for
(he never told. She kept to lie.'i If
withdrew from her associate mid be-i.-ime
absorbed lu her v.rk. Hut M.ey
would not have It so. For some rea-
son the room-male. too. kept the se-
cret. A few rumor started but were
Immediately scoff d down. As the
weeks passed and her ft lends still ral-
lied around hi r Anita breathed again.
She had had a narrow and a most
dramatic escape.
During the last enr of her coP"g
career Miss Hemming held one of the
mol prominent positions In the Insti-
tution. It was admitted that she would
graduate among the first. Without ef-
folt she held her supiein.uv ux student
and leader In the college set. She had
never been a solitary nor a ' dig" - 'wo
unpopular types at college. During h"r
last year It was natural that she should
cling fondly to the fronds she had
made and the social rtaincti e of

A faculty council followed. Some of
the professors had surmised the truth.

a day no official action he taken to
