When Mrs. Winifred Sercombe, ol

she had made a trip around th

Girl bachelors that go off camping

; bachelor has taken up this way of
life more ardently than ever. As valets
and men servants complete the
menage, the hated petticoat does not
flutter even in the service of the elect,
and the bliss of a coatless dinner and
even of a collarless luncheon is freely
indulged in.?New York Tribune.
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. To-day, if she would be fashionable,
her petticoats are of lingerie.
These have returned to the highest
favor. They will not oe worn in cuy
streets under dark coat suits, for they
soil too easily, but they will be worn
under everything else, and especially
under evening gowns.
They are made of thin cotton and
muslin and handsomely trimmed with

Kept Lighthouse Fifty-one Years.
Ida Lewis has spent fifty-one years
of service as keeper of the Lime Rock
lighthouse in the southern end of
Newport Harbor. Miss Lewis was on
duty as keeper many years before
Newport became a chief resort of the
millionaire families of New York.
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

service without formality of any

Much a Lady.
Have you ever thought how painful
it is to an unexpected visitor to be
entreated to overlook this, that and
the other domestic shortcomings?
"Please excuse the tablecloth. Esther
has just upset the flowers?so
tiresome of her! Pray, don't notice
the dish?John insists on having 'hotpot'
served this way! Excuse the
pudding, won't you? It's very plain;
but the children do love these little
currant dumplings!"
If John's wife were "much of a
lady" she would find an easier way
out of her little embarrassments and
recommend the currant dumplings
with a simple enthusiasm that would
make the unexpected guest feel thai
they were the identical sweet which
he would have repeated on his owe

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. The proportions
of the house are superb, but ii
requires immense forest trees to give
it dignity. 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. The
drawings included drooping elms anc
spreading oaks, which would take c
century to grow, and the land al
present provides only sparsely some
straggling white beeches and dog'
wood, ine owner win nave w ??n

College Woman anil the Family.
Mrs. Ballinger. wife of the Secretary
of the Interior, is a firm believei
in higher learning for women. 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

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

r SORE EYES CURED! b
Eye-Balls and Lids Became Terribly
Inflamed ? Was Unable to Go
About?All Treatments Failed?
Cuticnra Proved Successful.
: "About two years ago my eyes got in
such a condition that I was unable to go
about. They were terribly inflamed, both
' the ball9 and lids. I tried hopie remedies
without relief. Then I decided to go to our
S family' physician, but he didn't help them.
- Then I tried two more of our most prominent
physicians, but my eyes grew contin- '
ually worse. At this time a friend of mine
; advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and
after using it about one week my eyes were
considerably improved and in two weeks J
i they were almost well. They have never
given me any tremble since and I am now j
I, sixty-five years old. I shall never fail to
praise Cuticura. G. B. Halsey, Mouth of
B Wilson, Va? Apr. 4, 1908." "
