p1scoyEn1Es BY WOMEN.

1t has always been the mission Of
women, in oil climes and circum.
stances, to contribute to the physical
comfort and social enjoyment Of hui.
manity, as we'll ~ to the moral ad-
vaucement. There ore not many pages
in history devoted to recording the
great acts of women, nor does science
bear the impress Of the feminine mind
to any extent. Religious revolutions,
which have turned the course of Ma
tions, have been inaugurated by men,
and yet in tradition and popular story
we find SO many incidents going to
show her influence upon the habit and
sentiment of the world. 1t is not by
one startling maneuyer that the
mother makes the home the haven OF
rest to the members of her family. but
by steady effort, day after day, little
by little, she increases its influence.
When the colonies of England were
striving for foothold along the
southern coast of North America, they
had difficulty in finding some product
adapted to the climate which would do
for export to the mother country, and
bring IN some returns. Then 1t was

hibited to her friends the indigo plant,
which became the staple OF the Caro-
linas until the patenting OF the cotton
Gin. This was the result of thought
and care. which were characteristic of
the women OF the colonies. Before
the sex were educated to this point,
there are told stories of how they
stumbled upon discoveries for which
all mankiud has reason to thank them.
Such tale is told in China, where the
use of tea originated. 1t is said that
the daughter of reigning sovereign
was hopelessly enamored of . young
nobleman whose caste did not permit
him 10 aspire to her hand, but they
occasionally exchanged giances and
often he found means to place few
blossoms IN her hand. One time ow-
ing to the close surveillance OF her OF.
tendants, she was only able to catch a
few little leaves Of the bouquet he in
tended for her. This she treasured
and placed in tumbler of water. The
princess, thenin the excess of her love,
drank the water and then ate the stem
and leaves. This she continued to do,
finding in it reminder of her lover,
and liking the flavor of the tea, which
was the plant left in her hand by her
lover. Her ladies copied this custom
Of hers, and from this the whole Chi
nese Nation became one of tea drink
ers. So that woman, as early as six
hundred years, B, c.. introduced to
The world this great physical solace.
1t was an accident, but from it could
be drawn the deduction that woman
in following the true inclination of
her affection and disposition has the
widest field open to her to benefit her

sNo doubt" he wrote, "whales are
very particular in the quality OF their

feeding where tho water Is dirty, but
almost invariably in clean, clear,

The usual way in which whale feeds
is to chose spot where the food is
plentiful and swim backward and for

Unlike other warm-blooded animals,

FASHION NOTES.

Honitin effects are noted in the new
Valenciennes laces.
Some of the new parasois have very
unique handles of crystal.
The more elegant of the new hats
have touch of real lace introduced
somewhere about them.
In millinery two contrasting shades
of tulle, one laid over the other, are
often used to give the ohangeable ef-
feet.
The bouquetring is the latest iewelry
fad. 1t is composed of varicolored
stones and reaches above the first
knuckle.
Quantities Of flowers and foliage
are used, and the ambition is to get
as many kinds of flowers on hat as
possible.
Puffs, the old-fashioned, narrow,
straight puffs, are coming in again.
Some new Paris gowns have skirts
made of puffs of chiffon two inches
wide, joined by lace insertion an inch
wide and mounted over silk Innings.

proved SO popular last summer, is

Many Varieties OF Lemons.

The psrzon whose knowledge Of
lemons is limited to an occasional
purchase OF dozen will be surprised
to know that there are seventeen dis
tinct varieties grown in California and
Florida. These differ in size, shape,
quality of skin and in keeping quail
ties. Bat there are only four varie-
ties that have any degree OF popular
ity in California. These are the
Eureka, Lisbon, Villa Franco and
Bonnie Brae. The Eureka has proved
the best bearer in California. No one
knows exactly how long q lemon tree
that has care and cultivation will con-
tinue to bear fruit. The franciscan
monks kept no records OF the fruit
trees growing about the missions. So
far as known, lemon tree Will bear in
California for forty-fve or fifty
years. There are in the less fertile
soils of Sicily and Corsica several trees
over century old still bearing. a
tree in California will bear some fruit
the fourth year from its planting in
the orchard, and when it is eight
years old it will bear nearly four
boxes of fruit each year. When it is
twelve years old it has reached its full
vigor; but it is not for twenty or
more years yet that it begins to show
signs OF old age. The Oldest known
lemon tree in California is that in the
mission gardens at Santa Barbara. 1t
was probably planted about 1921. 1t
has a..good foliage and looks strong
and sturdy, but it has borne only o
dozen or so lemons in the last fifteen
years. When it was twenty years old
it bore half ton of fruit in one sea-
son, but rot of good quality.

discouraged him even more.
They stopped at the same hotel, and
Maxon spent much of bis time with
them for several days; still his courage
failed MIN, and he resolved more than
once to go away, for Miss Neva would
never look upon him as anything more
than friend, at hest. His time was
limited and the last day OF his stay
arrived.
They spent the day in making
longer excursion than usual, and
Maxon had decided that he must put
question and receive an answer that
day. come what would. But Mrs.
Ward seemed to divine his attention.
There was no escaping her vigilance,
and it was not until they entered the
crowded car to return to the city that
he managed to place her in one seat
while he found another for Neva and
himself. Even then he found it
| hard to begin. and the precious DO.
ments slipped by. At last he askcd
abruptly:
"Do you remember our first meet
ing, Miss Hildreth?'
"Of course" she answered, with
smile.
"And did you think me rude to
stare at you so? To tell the truth, ]
thought you were 'winsome wee las

"8aggage, sir? Checked to all parts

were iingled in his face. Before he
could recover himself Mrs. Ward came
to asked question-and then they
were rolling into the city depot.

unless you say stay"
"Why," was the response, 'tmust
You so? We shall miss you!"

They were in the aisle now, and as
they struggled along, pushed and
jostled by the impatient throng, he
spoke once more:
"Shall I go or stay, Neva?"
There was no reply, and his heart
sank.
"I'd no business to spring it on her
like this" he thought; "I've offended
her now, ana no wonder-fool that l

He saw the ladies to q carriage, and
with his hand on the door said:
