The drawbacks to lighthouse keeping

their points in a few days unless care

The royal house of Roumania is dou-

to the principalities of Wallachia and
Moldavia when their union was pro-

SOCIETY GIRLS WHO
ARE MAKING MUSCLE,

During the coming summer the society
girl intends to be abreast of her broth
ers in all matters relating to sport.
Formerly she was content when she
went out on the links with her golf
sticks or on the tennis court with her
racket to play well enough for a girl"
But that is all changed. She wants
to stand on her real merits and be on a
par with the other sex.
The athletic girls determined months
ago to dc some training on their own
account, so that when gOlfing, bicy-
CHING, tennis and rowing started in ear
nest they would have the necessary
muscle and strength and steady eye.
There is no exercise which more thor
oughly develops the muscles of the body
than fencing. In Germany, where the
women fence as much as they ride BIZ
cycles over here, feminine strength and
health and grace are generally enjoyed,
although with us they are not to be
found as often as is desired.
Ii a young woman is not too far adj
vanced upon the list of society's dew
Otees, she may enjoy the privilege of
exercising with the fOils in the public
fencing academy. If she be little
more exclusive she can HE herself to
the private academy. To be a real up to
date society girl, however, she must
fOrsWear the academy and take her les
sons at home. This is tho absolute de-
cree of the supreme court, from which
there is no appeal.
Instead of arraying herself in fine
linen and often uncomfortable purple
and undergoing for two hours a sort of
social m2rtyrdOm under the guise of
an afternoon tea, the girl of the period
who is quite correct receives a half
dozen Of her friends in her fencing
rOOm and there many a pie SAINT half
hour is spent in discussing and dem
onstrating the latest forms of fence,
guard. parry and attack
The foil is the ideal weapon for wO-
men. In their soft hands the light
pOlygOnal steel bar. with a soft button
at the end, offers no dangers to either
of the cOmbatants. To excel in fencing
does not depend so much on mere phys
ical strength as on dextelity of move
ment and Quickness of the eye. Woman
is naturally quick to discern charac-
ter and intention, and when she has
once controlled herself and engaged in
hand to hand conflict with the fOilS
she is said to develop marvellous per-
ceptiVe powers. ..
The most exclusive of all the swell

BRAVE WOMEN IN
OUR LIGHTHOUSES.

If life IN a lighthouse is so monoto-
nous to men that it sometimes drives
them mad, what must it be to the hun
dreds of wives and daughters who spend
their years in the lighthouses along the
ocean and lake coasts of this country?
Not all the lighthouse keepers are able
to have their wives with them In light
ships or in lighthouses not on shore the
presence of wives and families is for
hidden by the lighthouse board regu-
latiOns, and in such cases the married
men have a home for their families at
the nearest available point on the main
land.

, must change her gloves four or five
times a day. There must be one kind
for driving, one for bicycling, one for
shopping, another for calling and still
another for evening wear Driving
gloves for spring are made of light
weight buckskin suede, and gray is the
preferred shade. The dealers try in
vain to force bright cOlored ones upon
the market, but to one person who is
attracted by them there are 20 who
wouldn't accept them as a gift. A glove
should harmonic or contrast with a
costume, but never clash. All gloves
worn for driving, bicycling or in games
or sports of any kind should be either
tan or gray and be Of two buttoned
length. The newest bicycle glove is
made of suede finished Isle, with a
kid palm, which serves the double
purpose of making the glove strong
and protecting the hand. These have
little holes between the fingers for ven
tilatiOn, and that is a very happy idea,
for, bicycling being such heating eXer-
else, the hands are very likely to per
Spire, which is not only intensely I'M
comfortable, but ruinous to the glove.
The proper glove for shopping is
made Of a combination Of silk and cas-
tor. The very thought of silk gloves
is enough to send a chill down ones
spine, but in these the silk is not evil
dent. Castor is a material, glace in
finish, which is heavier than suede md
not quite so heavy as OuckSkin. For
calling and the theater the gloves are
all in light shadeS-White, grays in
shades varying from pearl to slate, and
yelloWs from pale lemon to tans. The
newest shade and one destined to be-
come a favOrite is an old one revived
ash of roses or .mauve. Old styles, like
bad pennies, are sure to come back, and
this new shade, which has not been
worn in anything for SO many years,
will be a welcome prOdigal.
The fever for color which character
ICES all the new conceits in spring nov
elites has been caught by handkerchief
manufacturers. Some of the latest i'm
portatOns are such gaudy, snowy af-
fairs that no woman could flourish one
for the first time without a little flut-
ter of embarrassment. The prettiest
are the pink and white and blue and
white paids. If cOlors have a signifi
canoe, as they used to have-blue is
true, and pink is love-then these Weap-
ons of Irritation will be more danger
Gus than ever.
Excepting for balls, gloves Of great
| length are not Worn 50 much as they
used to be. Very few are over four but

probably responsible for this change.
| Most women prefer white handker-

variety in both material and design.

elaborate ones, some Il them round in

the Laguinita rancho of 400 acres. she
thought she would sell it at an advance,
but later concluded to plant it to fruit
trees and make d future for her son
there. -Four years later she bought
tract of 900 acres nearer VacaVille and
put into it the $4,000 that remained aft
er buying her first ranch. To pay for
the rest she contracted debt that
would have made many a man tremble.
The first thing she did was to lose
heart. Then she resolved to work her
way out of a bad bargain. Everything
cleared away beautifully before her.
In seven years she has sold half the
land the debt is all gone. and she has
about her a delightful colony of young,
enthusiastic fruit raisers. They are all
young men and women. mostly from
England and Holland. One New York
city girl owns AZ acres of her own,
planted to trees, and manages so acres
in addition for relatives as we'll as any
man in the country could do it.
Once when a guest at a tea in Wash
ington she overheard the chitchat of
two girls in their teens. That's Mrs.
Buckingham of California" said one,
"and they say she plows more land
than any woman in the world" The
other girl carefully surveyed Mrs.
Buckinghams handsome rustling gown
before she replied, She doesn't look it,
does she?"
In fact, Mrs. Buckingham does not
pillow her acres herself, but for nine
years she was the overseer of her own
ranch, never having employed man
in that capacity.

be described as an enlarged English

placing of long feather on the under

peculiar chic. The end of the feather is
fastened near the front and is allowed
to rest upon the hair at the side and
almost cover it at the back.
