Pocket Money. Throughout the season a young woman in society makes a goodly sum for pocket money by taking photoI graphs of the really, idyllic scenery on her country place and disposing of them to the various magazines ror illustrations. As she is gifted in the line of short-storv writing, she contributes stories as well, when the mood seizes her, and usually makes them fit with the picturesque bits she sends with them. She also makes the most charming calendars, getting great variety for each month, and accordingly sends to her publishers several hundred, no two of which are alike.?New York Tribune. The White Petticoat. The woman who has indulged her fondness for silk in all forms has I worn the silk petticoat in season and out.

Old Newport, with its simple and inexpensive ease, has declined and given way to the showy, extravagant Newport of to-day since Miss Lewis first trimmed lamps to guide marinarc Sho rigQQpri her half centurv of service without formality of any kind, and it has been against her wish that the celebration this year has been planned.

Disappointing I'ouse. The owner of a newl. built home of stately dimensions complains bitterly of the different way it looks as it is, as against its appearance in the architects's drawings.

Without them it has the bald, hard look of a huge institution a suggestion which is intensified bj the red brick of which it is built anc the rows of shutterless windows.

Ther? are many women in Washington whc oppose exhaustive college educatior for their sex, and Mrs. Ballinger is never happier than when trying tc prove they are in error. She holds that the State owes as big a debt tc women as to men, and that it is only the part of simple justice to throw all avenues of education open tc women, providing they pass the requisite examinations. Mrs. Ballinget also vehemently denies that collegf women are not as likely to marry as their sisters of le*ss accomplishment in an educational sense. She is a college woman herself, and she says ? the girl who is graduated from a uni, versity is the best fitted of all for the . responsibilities of maternity and tie . family circle.?New York Press. Color on Handkerchiefs. Paris leads the colored handker chief fad. The bright and gaudy kerchief is never a success except witt outdoor sporting clothes or for smal children who delight in it. But the tender shades that Paris ; puts upon her list of favorites for the season are reproduced in the daintiest spots of coloring mingled witt the embroidery on fine handkerchiefs. The color appears in the petal or leaf, surrounded by an embroidered edge. A band of color on the edge is employed as another style ol decoration, with embroidery upor the color. Colors are woven into some of the fine linens by the use of a tined thread forming the crossbars. Maderia eyelet work is the season's favorite among the finest white handkerchiefs.?Boston Post. Good Taste. There are women whose irresslng Is renowned for its exquisite harmony in whose house you could not find an ornament out of keeping,or a coloi that jarred, yet who are devoid ol good taste in the real sense.

The woman who has really good taste never jars. Instinctively she says the right thing and could not be guilty of thoughtless rtideness.

A woman writes me asking why it Is that women seem never to be or to have been offended by their bit. terest detractors?Schopenhauer and Nietzsche? Indeed, women take great delight in the writings of these two men who proclaim the sex th<? chief agent of Evil. Why? At once . comes to mind; . I A dog, a woman, a hickory tree, } The more you beat 'em the better they be. > Woman likes the strong man, the compeller; that's why she likes the man in military and naval uniform; she loves to worship more than to be worshiped?and all that tommy rot. . I think, so far as I am entitled to . think on such a trinity of inscrutai bitities as Nietzsche, Schopenhauer I and Woman, that women are amused by the philosophers named. Who is 5 more concerned with woman than the ? man who denounces and damns her? . There was St. Anthony?hfe went into i the desert to escape woman and lo! . he brought her with him. What is . all the bravery of the philosophers . named against women? Nothing but > fear of them. Even so the English t lied about Napoleon because they i were so afraid of him that they used his name to quiet squalling babies.; > I don't think it possible to hate any I one or anything that we do not fear. . I don't think that we can fear and . love any one at the same time?pace . the theologasters and the hymnosophists. What are Nietzsche and Schopenhauer saying all the time? 'Be brave! Brace up! Whistle through the graveyard! Beware of i women!" (Vide Weller, Sr., on , "Vidd<k?s.") Now, brave men don't i have to be adjured to be brave, and when they are so adjured, the ad! iuror is usually playing castanets with his knees. Schopenhauer and l Nietzsche rail and rave at women, ! but they are victims of the succubus. ; They can't get her out of their minds ' and are afraid to take her into their hearts. No woman can conceive a [ higher expression of affection than: i 'I love you?drat you!" Show me s a misogymist and I'll show you a tnan with some woman's scornful 01 ] tender face pyrographed upon his . heart!

The , women get mad at Roosevelt or the ' Kaiser or Premier Asquith or some )ne else like that for a light remark. ' They only smile at Nietzsche and | Schopenhauer. Why again? Because the woman of these philosophers 13 jvolved from their own inner consciousness. There never was such a ' seing. She's like the "economic | man" of the Dismal Science?an ab' stract conception. Woman is noth( :ng if not concrete. She doesn't see Herself at all in scnopennauer s or Nietzsche's mirror. (I wonder how 5 she sees herself In mine.) She's the master?or mistress?manipulator of I :he mirror, too; she discovered or inr rented it to study herself in. Let Schopenhauer and Nietzsche rave and ' 'oar. What does it all amount to? Simply this: both men are protest.ng against the eclipse of man by woinanism. One wants to escape from :his by seeking extinction. The other wants to produce Beyond Man without the aid of woman?sheer lunacy. I remember but one fancy equal to this: that's where the King 5 is in childbed, in "Aucassin and Nicolete," and nothing came of it. In . Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, Woman sees Man in panic rout before her triumphant advance. She loves Byron who sneered at her.

At Waterloo, Iowa, there is a stone church built almost entirely from one great granite boulder located three i miles north of the town, with stone | enough left to build a parsonage, ' This great rock was brought there i how many hundreds*of miles nobody | knows, worn smooth and plowed with | long striae by being pushed over the j rocky bed of its passage.

Indeed, most of Long Island itself, 120 miles long, consisting oi ten or more kinds of rock, has been brought there by forces that dwarl steam shovels, lifting seven tons at a shovelful, into mere children's toys. i But this is little compared to whal j is going on to-day.

English authorities hold that there > is no certain test of age in fowls ' But they admit that, in general, th< spurs both of hens and cocks will dis > tinguish a two-year-old bird. There are exceptions, however, ii I which really young birds develop old ; looking spurs, while really1 second year birds preserve the short, rounde* i . spurs of a cockerel.

Formerly the wing feathers wer [ considered an absolute test as be I tween a pullet and a hen, even afte the long practice of early ( breedin 1 had made the moulting of early pul lets quite common. An Austrian authority says that pullet will show rose-colored vein on the surface of the skin, under th wings. There will also be long silky hair growing there. After a year ol . these hairs disappear, as also do th [ veins, and the skin grows white an i veinless.
