work while the doctor docs, his. An of the

tratons by Miss Elkns, but, the. triumph Of
her career has been her pathological speci-
mems, which by far outclass those Of the
Fronchman, in delicate, accurate handling

fidelity greatly deighting the medical men.
Almost every well known physician in the
country has had at one time or other need of
Miss Elkins services, and have had to pay
well for them too Despite her rather un-
usual calling, Miss Elkins Is very womanly
in appearance. She is rather small, even for
woman, has dark hair, trim figure and
powerful face, glasses emphasizing the char
acter. She talks with great earuestness and
frequently alludes to the new fields which
are opening to women. On the walls of her
studio are the exhibits which have won for
her the Medal of Merit" at the Cotton State
International exhibition. held at Atlanta
Ga, in 1895, and the medal and sword at the
Worlds fair.
The Worlds Fair Sword" was granted
to her for best colors, accuracy and beauty.
curious painting in her studio represents
the heart of a sheep, painted in color, after
being cut open, to show the valves of the
heart.
Thus 1t will be seen that Miss Elkins takes
a higher interest in eatables than the average
woman.

composition, and then the whole must bc
giIded and FURNISHED, requiring a great dea'
OF skilled hand work. The graceful Floren.
tine frames carved entirely from wood are
also much in vogue for pictures small enough
to allow them to be cut from single piece
OF wood The larger ones, however. have
proved impractical for this climate, where
the extremes of heat and cold soon work
their dissolution.
The revival of the miniature Is probably
responsible Tor the many charming small
frames in gilt, bronze and old gold-eXact
copies of a former day-that now food the
smarter shops, and that will cut a pretty
hgure among the approaching holiday gifts.
Enlarged to the size of the cabinet photo
graph, they are to be found at prices vary
ing from SIZE to s25, depending upon the
weight and workmanship. Even the shops
devoted exclusively to the antique revel in a
magnificent variety of so-caled old Dutch
frames, which, however, cannot be genuine
antiques. Old designs are made to do duty
on new forms, and the finely wrought re-
pous9e work combined with a somewhat
duh surface gives them a genuinely old
look-and the price is according, $lS being
about the lowest price asked for one of these
Small frames. If one is really going in for
a handsome cabinet frame, however, he will
have plenty from which to choose. Conspicu-
Gus among many bijous are some stunning
novelties in sterling silver. One of the love
liest of these Is in a georgous flower design,
gilded. In the center of the top Is a bit
OF white porcelain upon which Is enameled
graceful yacht In blue and in the center
of the bottom pretty figures appear In the
same enamel Another of these gilded silver
frames is ornamented with four large imita-
tion cmeralds in the various colors Frames
of solid rhine stones and imitation emerads
in settings of sterling silver also serve to
embelish tho counterfeit presentment of faces
most lovely in themselves.

TWO REMARKABLE WOMEN.
One IA Champion Kerry Picker and the
OIhcr EXcnIn at Corn uusI.in...

} Mrs. l.. Il. Adams. aged 70, living al
! North Sterling, about sixteen miles from
| Norwich, Conn. holds the record as a
I huckleberry picker On account of the
| warm, wet autumn weather the hucl5eberry
| season was greatly prolonged this year, SO
| that belated crop of fine, good, pcrfec;
fruit was gathered in October. Mrs. Adams
| recently computed her pecuniary gains from
| her berry-picklng labOrs. She found that
she had gathered just sos quarts of the
fruit during the season and received from
ts sale from $50 to $40. TO earn that sum
she daily trudged two miles along a lonely
country road to the rugged berry fields, and
gathered on an average sixteen and one
half quarts of berries a day. On one of
her trips she fell in with a pugnacious
blacksnake, five feet long, and promptly
dispatched it.
An ambitious and energetic woman is
Mrs. j. Allen Griswold of the country town
OF Sprague, seven miles north of Norwich
To Mrs Griswod her husband made a
crafty business proposition the other morn
ing, which that lady promptly accepted
and all that day he chuckled slyly, think
ing how shrewdly he had contrived it. The
proposal was this: If she husked forty
bushels of field corn in the shock in ten
hours he agreed to pay her So, and cents
extra for every bushel husked by her in
excess of that amount.
Mrs. Griswold took an easy stool into the
cornfeld with her husband, clasped a hick-
ory husking pin to her middle finger, and,
having deXterously flung bundle of corn
stalks TO the ground seated herself on the
stool and proceeded to husk,, She husked
corn all day at whlrlwlnd speed going
through bundle after bundle as If by magic,
while red and yellow ears chased each other
over her shoulder as her deftly tossed them
into her rapidly filling basket, The neigh
bors, who slyly watched her working away
at her stint, declared they had never seen
such lightning-lilte corn shuchinS before 1t
was neat, orderly, accurate work on her
part, too. At the end OF ten hours Mrs
Griswold had her load OF corn ears driven to
the house, and jublanty reported to the
crestfallen husband She had husked exactly
torty-one bushels OF maize, and Mr.. Girls
void, without a protest, paid her s5.O5. He
had ceased to chuckle and congratulate him
self on hs shrewdness some time about the
middle Of the afternoon. Mrs! Griswold has

call them. The most ornate frame would
attract no attention to itself when around a

careful survey however, of the many

Green, in fact, is to be very much to the

and seems singularly well adapted to GER

at home as in their dark green mats, and

Fashionable dressmakers both here and
abroad are making most liberal use OF arti-
hcial flowers that look exactly like natures
own, to decorate evening toilets, and not
few bodices are actually smothered with
ro9es. Large, soft blooms entirely without
foliage are seen on many toilets, and the
apron front introduced in demi-trained even
ing skirts is trimmed with rose garlands, or
otherwise the flowers are arranged in empire
clusters and set on at equal distances down
each side of the front.
Electric seal" which is simply rabbit
skin dressed to resemble the genuine seal as
nearly as possible, is one of the popular
cheap furs tnil season, and the French tame
rabbit is said to have the best fur. The
skins are first dressed to make them soft
and pliable, then passed through a machine
which trims down the Coarser hairo and
gives the fur gloss in the Combing procesa
The dyeing is skillfully done by experts to
give the same shading from light to dark
brown which we find in the seal, and all
the superiluous hairs are plucked out by
electricity. In color and warmth there is
very little choice between the real seal and
this clever imitation.

Many Charming Novelties Introduced
This Season.
Framing a picture must be just as much
matter of fine choice and deliberation as
fitting a hat to tne head Of a beautiful wo-
man said the connoisseur. Doth are affairs
Of high seriousness not TO be yentGred upon
In any light, haphazard manner Certain ira
ditions in art, however, obtain which give
one sort OF basis upon which to work. For
instance, with very few exceptions, paint
ings, both in oils and water colors. require
gilt frames, but the adaptation Of the almost
infinite variety Of these to any particular
picture calls for the incest discrimination.
This quiet, peaceful landscape, for exam
pie, you will notice Is in the most quiet, un-
filigreed frame. Where the prevailing idea
in picture is that Of repose-a tranquil sun
set, still moonlight or the vast and silent
seattle same idea must be carried out in an
entirely plain and unobtrusiye frame Where
one or two bold figures appear as in this pic
ture, the frame also takes on a certain bold
ness which you will see indicated by this
rather heavy ornamentation in the center
of the moulding. You will notice however
that ii is so focused as to inevitably lead the
eye to the picture itself. AS pictures grow

Pretty photographs OF Watteaus, Lancrets

Generally speaking the large and beautiful
foreign photographs are being framed this

one notices the revival OF the narrow. grace
