Lady Russell, of Swallowflcld, Berks, has In press a bonk of strong Boclety Interest, entttlpil "Thereo 3enratlons of Fascinating Women." It deals with the beautiful Gunnings, the famous Countess of Alleshnry and other beau ties, noble for the most part, of the laat century or two. Three Interesting chapter headings are: "Strange Viciss itudes of a Highland I.ady," "A Duke Born In a Darn and Died In a Darn" ad "An Empress of Fashion." In Dtfense of Femininity. The London World comes to the de fense of English women In this fash ion: "Though It mny still bo a thorn In the side of English women that their American sisters continue to take the lead In vivacity ami to pluck from their hands tho blooms of tho peerage, yet England an I France can boast of their brilliant woa-.on writera, their political queens, tiioir great artists: but so far Aire rii a can certnlnly not prove to us that she cm lo more tiinn create cbalterinj dulls uuU biuincis women." Some Hata. A pretty sailor hat In brown straw had the crown wreathed In a close garland of violets in shades of brown. On one side v.as a small bunch of ex quisite yellow roses, very rich in tone. Another brown sailor bad a sash and largo bow tied directly in front, of brown ribbon having a large embroid ered spot of blue and white. On either tide behind tho bow were pale blue wings. A brilliant sailor hat worn with a natural pongeo gown was tan rice straw with a red scarf and bow. On the under side of the crown, in tho back, were cherries, ripe and glowing, loosely arranged to danglo over tho back hair of the wearer. A wide green sailor hat was cool to look upon, with 1U band of white vel vet running to the back, where It was tied In a generous bow. On one side were three little white owl heads with yellow eyes. A Tooth Wash. A soapy tooth wash Is' superior to the ordinary sorts; it Is very cleans ing, an essential Quality and tho dis tasteful soaplncss may be overcome by an admixture of orris root, which also Imparts a delicate fragrance to the breath. It is more economical to buy the Ingredients in bulk and mix them at home than to buy a prepared article. Buy a cake of. pure white Castile soap and shave off two ounces of it, which reduce to a fine powder, tn place of a mortar for powdering the soap use a heavy wooden vegetable masher and an earthenware bowl. Mix with the powdered soap two ounces of Florentine orris root and one-hRlf pound of precipitated chalk. Pass the mixture through a fine sieve several times to thoroughly blend the Ingre dients, then put away In a dry place, preferably In a glass closely corked. Tlie quantity named will be sufficient fjtr a year's use. New Haven Register. The Complexion Ring. The "complexion ring" Is the latest result of the eternal search for costly feminine novelties. The shape of this ring and the color of the stones set In It are made dependent on the shape and color of the wearer's bands. In accordance with this scheme, a woman who possesses hands of exceed ing whiteness and wishes to emphasize that fact would be provided with a ring let with turquoises, and the shape and size of the ring would be made to con form to the length of the fingers. Proprietors of beauty shops are tak ing advantage of the new fashion by declaring that by ceitaln mysterious manipulations and cosmetics, they can adapt the color and shape of the hand to the ring for far less than It will cost to get a ring to suit the style of the and. The woman who wishes to be up-to-flate pays hor money and takes her Choice ot the two methods, nays an ex- ahange. Colored diamonds, it la said, will be the vogue this season, espec ially those of an amber or canary hue. ; The Whits Hat What Is It about the white hat that causes its popularity to wax and wane from year to year? At times the white bat looks cheap and conspicu ous; no ono wants to wear it At other limes it la a thing of beauty, and the only thing to wear with best gowns. This year it la In favor. Besides, the ao-called baby hats of embroidery and lace, white tulle hats and white flower hats are much in fashion. A handsome model in a large white hat had a shir red brim of plain net. The crown was also shirred, but the material was figured net, and a short veil of this was allowed to droop over the brim in the back. Both brim and crown had i tiff frilling of lace, and the trim ming wu garland ot crushed white If 11 JvV.'i ro.?es. with .'nut ft blush of pink la j Bi' ' Hie petals.

A garland of white crush roses with yel low centers trimmed the bnU Homes of Western Clubs. Western clubwomen believe, to Mr row the phrase of the Denver club, that "to the club a home adds par manence and dignity, and to the com munity It adds something of worth and progress, and Is a center from which emanate much of the phiianthrophy and be3t civic work of tho city." In many of the large western cities, where the women's clubs are strong, these clubs have cenaod to rent apart ments at hotels and public halls, and have built themselves homes of their very own. An article In a recent Ana conda (Mont.) Standard, which the Butte clubwomen edited, mentions tho Athenaeum, of Milwaukee; tho Wom en's club of I.os Angeles; the Propy laetuiT, of Indianapolis; the Sliakc-i-pearo club, of Panndena; the Wom an's club of Denver; the Ladles' Lit erary club, of Salt Lake; tho women's clubs of Peoria. 111.; Decatur, III., and Detroit, ni aming tho clubs which have erected club buildings. Tho Denver club shewed marked orlinnl ity In Its method tf procedure. When the time came for firnlng the first sod preparatory to building, the mem bers were on the ground, armed with spades and shovels. The first sod was turned by the president, and then all lent a hand, and a wagon brought for that purpose was heaped full. This earti was taken away and bottled and the bottles sold as souvenirs of the memorable occasion. The sum realized from this source wai $72. The club has a membership of 936. The Destiny of Woman. The real results of this modern wom an's movement are seen. I believe, says Dr. hyman Abbott In the World's Work, In better wages to self-supporting womon; In enlarged opportunities for productive Industry; In consequent industrial Independence for unmarried w-omen; In a resultant release from the odious compulsion which drove women Into marriage as the only means of livelihood open to them: tn nn end to that kind of marital subor dination which grew out of the fact that an uneducated woman Is Inferior to an educated man; In an Intellectual companionship In the married life based on a common understanding of all life movements and a common In terest in them all; In the ability of the mother to keep the Intellectual respect of her boy after he has gone out of tho home to college or to business, and to be his trusted counsellor and his inspirer; in woman's broader horizon, larger life and more richly' endowed character; In the ampler service she can render to society, to her country and to the world; and In her better equipment for the finest and highest service of all, that which Is Inherent In motherhood. "It Is a- woman's des tiny," Balzac makes one of his char acters say, "to create, not things, but men. Our creations are our children; our chHdren are our pictures, our books and statues." This Is the great est career of all greater than that of the lawyer, the doctor, the poet, or the artist Law governs life, medi cine prolongs llf. poetry portrays life, art presents a simulacrum of Ufa; the mother creates life. The education of the future will recognize motherhood as the supremest cf all destinies, and the curriculum of all schools and col leges worthy of the name will be fash ioned to conform to this standard and to prepare for this service. Fashion Hints. Almost all the -waists with flowered front designs fasten in back. It takes a handsome woman to earrj off the new strawberry shades well. A big taffeta nock bow In solid color is a part of the checked shirtwaist suit Very effective are the crash gowns covered with polka dots of medium sizes. Delicate violets are embroidered on the chiffon stretched over a whito parasol. ' Bodies or whole gowns of lace veiled all over with transparent tulle repre sent a new idea. The prettiest skirts of the season, especially the floral designs, are those built in three tiers. One of the prettiest fashions of the year is the wearing of dainty lacs coats over thin dresses. Color is coming more into play, and the apple and rose linens are even prettier than white. Hats have a graceful downward bending back and front, which savors of early Victorian modes. All the smart girdles are high in front, while in back they may be of medium or narrow width. White net printed with blue corn. n i , ..VL . cufrn"D ,rocK' worn with hat whereon the same flowers ep.

Kiuuols, ill Tho Atlanta Journal. Making Fire Indian Fashion. "How do the Indians make a fire without matches?" asked a boy who loved to "play Indian." Most of us have heard the answer to this:"The Indians used a flint and steel, as our own fathers and mothers did one hundred years ago, and before they had flint and steel they used rubbing sticks." We have all read about bringing flro out of two sticks by rub bing them together, hr.t I find 'that most persons look upon this as) a sort of fairy tale, or If they Believe It to bo true, they think It so difficult us to bo worth no second thought. All wood crafters, I find, are surprised and greatly interested to learn that not only is It possible, It Is easy to make a friction fire if you know how. I have taught many boys and men to do it, and some have grown so ex pert that they make it nearly as quick ly as with ol J fistiloned sulphur mutch. When I first learned from Mr. Walter Hough, who learned from tho Indians, it took me from five to ten minutes to got a blazing fire not half an hour, as some books have It. But later I got It down to a minute, then to 31 seconds; trom the time of taking up the rubbing sticks to having a fine blaze, the time In getting the first spark being about six seconds. Eraest Thompson Seton, In Country Life In America. The Little Woodchuck. If thero Is any one of our native animals that looks slow, clumsy, "lazy" and generally unfit to Mirvlve In the struggle for existence. It Is the Toodchuck,, says the Country Life In America. After he has built, or rath er, excavated, his home which, to tell the truth, he does In a rapid and busi nesslike way he does nothing hut eat and sleep. Yet, any one who sizes him' up as an Incompetent is likely to get fooled, for be is a source ot continual surprises. When your garden Is not far from tho woods you may be awakened in tho middle of the night by a series of most alarming yells and howls, occasioned by some hungry wood chuck that has come for a nocturnal visit to the cabbage patch and met with a warm reception from our two dogs. The woodchuck usually gets away apparently unharmed while the dogs are left to nurse their scratched noses and forepaws. The woodchuck. In fact, tins plenty of courage, and will always tight tn preference to run ning away. Throughout tho summer this little "woodplg" spends most of his time in the vlclnty of his burrow, coming out early in the morning to take his breakfast, returning to his nest for a morning nap, appearing again at neon and lute In the afternoon for his dinner and supper, only to return again lor another snooze. Occasional ly he makes a visit to some neighbor ing orchard or garden. By October 1, when he is fat, he retires into his subterranean home for a long sleep, until, we are led to believe, the proverbial "ground-hog" day. Duck on a Rock. Some years ago "Duck on a Rock" was one ot the popular games among the younger boys, but of late It seems to have been forgotten. As an in vigorating pastime calculated to teach youngsters quickness and make them lively, It haB no superior. The game is played with cobble stones and an old tin can, or an odd stone. Any number of boys can par ticipate. Select a large stone tor the "Rock," and each boy must have a cobblestone or bait a brick for his "Duck." The boy who last finds bis "Duck" or cobblestone is "It." A line Is drawn 12 or IS feet away from the bowlder, upon which tho boy who is "It" places a tin can or his "Duck." He is guardian of the rock. The oth er boys, pitching their "Ducks" at the one on the rock try to knock It off. When a "Duck" Is pitched the player must try to cover it and get back to the pitching line without being tag ged by the guardian ot the "Duck" on the rock. The latter can ouly tag a player when his own "Duck" is on the rock. i Generally the players hover around watting for a lucky pitch to knock the "Duck off, when tbey grab their own "Ducks" and run to the line. The guardian ot the rock must replace his "Duck" before be can tag anyone. Sometimes, when all of the "Ducks" have been tossed without knocking the 'Duck" off the rock, tho players make a concerted rush for their "Ducks" in aa effort to secure their property. U'en to luck la rat awn utthmit I " " " ' being tiAged. The boy who Is tainted of course takes his place bb guardian of the rock, and the game proceeds. Atlanta Joiinml.
