woman seem to have a rooted dislike to
insuring their lives" This was the assertion
made to a Philadelphia Times man by one
of a new firm of women insurance brokers'
who have established themselves in the
hope of educating the sex to the demands 6
modern civilization in this respect. In
cidentally the brokers are earning a few
dollars in the business. The new woman
has been steadily pushing herself into many
of the avenues to riches and fame hitherto
traVersed by men, but the two keen-eyed,
but modest widows who have hitherto taken
to themselves the title of insurance brok-
ers' are the first 20 venture on such a rocky
road to preferment.
They represent several large insurance
companies, fire and life, and they VIII buy
on sell real estate, or trade a secondhand
bicycle for a fast horse, or buy you a silver
mine in Colorado or a gold mine in Cripple
Creek, or negotiate any kind of paper or,
in fact, do anything that a live man of
business finds to his advantage.
why will not women insure?'
'If it is q married woman, she Will say,
'Why should l pay money for another wo-
man to enjoy after l am goneY You see,
they are always thinking of that terrible
other woman that is to occupy their place
when they have shufied off this mortal coil.
1t is strange that married women always
take it for granted that their husbands
will marry again If they ever become
widowers. This thought in itself Is bad
enough, but the idea of No. 2 having the
money laid up by No. l is worse. So we
have to educate the women up to IN
surance, and it is anything but an easy
task"
but all women are not married? why
should not single women get insured?'
There. again, the single woman mas
plenty of reasons for refusing to insure, and
most of them valid. She says that she can
not afford to, for one thing; then she VIII
ask why she should insure her life and pay
out money annually, when she has no emil
dren to enjoy the money she may leave. She
will say that there is absolutely no induce
ment for her to go into such a Speculation;
Even when we point out the advantages OF
an policy, which will give her
the money at the end Of twenty Tor twenty
five wears. she cannot see It. She feels that
she would rather have $40 in her pocket

is used for this special purpose. With

or name OF day this stamping is done on
the top OF the inside of the first page.
The whole note Is written on the inside
pages and then directly 1t Is finished, before
the ink Is dry a single sheet OF Japanese
blotting paper is dropped between the two
pages of still wet words. This plotting
paper is, OF course, just the size OF the note
leaves and is really a piece Of tissue paper
woven thick, soft and printed with the
p]rettiest little shadowy Colored Japanese de-
signs. Some authors OF tiny flying notes
delicately perfume their blotting leaves and
on opening ones billet n Whit of sweet
odor falls out with the fairy plotting pad.
The very up-to-date country house owners
have borrowed an idea for their stationery
from the proprietors of summer hotels. At
tho top of a cream laid sheet, on which, in
a stately English hand, Is inscribed a
tempting invitation, appears a charming pen
and ink sketch of the home one is asked to
visit. This sits at the top in the center of
the page. while beneath 1t is printed the
name OF the residence and to either side, the
full address, postofiCe and telegraph
directions. This, of course, looks very Ike
the summer hotels letter heads, saving
that the original drawing for ones private
country house note paper is usually done by
some able pen and ink artist who signs
his work. He either sketches the gates
leading to the park, the lodge house, a
picturesque chimney stack, open doorway or
porch corner. A bit of the house rather

The summer Girl and Her Cruisin

The summer Girl ana Her Cruising
Canoe,
For real, rollicking, exciting fun the sum
mer girl has decided that nothing compares
with canoeing,
The canoe itself is a fascinating, 'bewltch-
ing little craft in its beauty and graceful
ness, and appeals to a woman's aesthetic
sensibilities as no other boat can.
Then one is so independent in her little
open or decked canoe, although there is
plenty to do, both for head and hands; she
must act as crew, captain, pilot and ballast;
must look out for squalls, boats, driftwood
and waves.
The canoe Of which the maiden of 1896
makes a selection weighs only eighteen
pounds, is ten and one-half feet in length,
has a twenty-siX-inch beam, is made of
cedar with oak ribs and will carry eighty
pounds and ones "dufle,' 1. e, kit or few
personal belongings.
II costs $65 and can be transported as
freight for s. within a distance OF $50 miles.

Take every advantage Of eddies and slack

Possibly the summer girls affections do
not run to canoes; she, perchance, prefers
a punt or a skilf.
Punts are not common In this country,
although they flourish in England-English
girls fairly dote upon these "doubie-end
scows," as some one rather disrespecttully

simple, conventional sizes of linen and bank
note paper, in the standard tints and mono
grams, are still used by conservative women
and for serious occasions, but nearly every
owner of a p%rettily appointed escretoire
keeps a drawer and pigeon-hole constantly
refreshed with the whimsical little modes
in cards, sheets and envelopes.
One of the most attractive notions is the
big pale blue and very thin linen sheet on
only one side of which one writes. a whole
letter is put on that side and then the sheet
is folded square, two of its edges stuck
down, and behold an old style letter, without
an envelope, is ready. On the broad blank
side, left by folding, the address and
stamp are placed and the effect is very SINH
lar to old family letters boarded in attic
trunks. The faded blue, in thinnest linen
paper, is supposed to be used for foreign
correspondence only, while a very odd, thick
ridged sheet, in waves and blotches of brown
and yellow, is called 1880 paper, since 1t is

Elizabeth time chronicles that the favortte

The underwear of the present moment has
nothing to fear at the hands of the future
historian. The best lingerie is distinguished

the blade at each end.
In regard to steering gear, padding canoes
are sometimes fitted with a rudder. from the
head of which lines run to pedals in the bot
tom of the canoe against which the feet
rest. and by this means a slight movement
of one foot or the other steers the canoe,
thus relieving the arms of considerable
work, especially in rough water.
The canoe is very steady and not at all
likely to upset when the paddler is sitting
down. as the weight is then so placed that
the center of gravity is very low, much
more so than in a %rowboat, in which the
oarsman sits on a seat near the level Of the
gunwale and far above the water line. a
little practice in getting afioat and ashore
at the beginning will help the beginners to
avoid an upset, which of course is discourag-
ing and should not be on the program
