farm near Georgetown, Ky, and when tired with the outdoor life, or when the weather was bad found it very pleasant to play chess in the house.
 A great many women who begin to learn to play chess find it hard on their nerves. They say it tires them, and l have known women to become hysterical over the game, and give it up in despair before they had learned the secret of the moves.
 I did not have that experience. l liked to note the progress of the "pawns' and to learn the different directions in which the knights" and "bishops'' started forth on their career of triumph. The "kings" and Queens and their troubles fascin- ated me. and I could see. the possibilities of the castle" long before knew how to clear a way for it.
 My first big game was with my hus- band. He agreed that at a certain time I should play match game with him; he was to be blindfolded and I was to use both of my eyes. Of course I had to call the moves, but we played the game, and when I tell you that I won you can imagine that I was very well pleased with my progress at chess.
 Today, although he has been a cham pion for long time, I can still beat him, but he has to make certain concessions.

Out of the 70,00O000 peo- pie in the United States at least 15,000,00 are grown women of an age to wear kid gloves, but statistics show that only 10,- 000, ,000 pairs of kid gloves are imported to this country annually. They are imported from France, which is said to make 24,7 000, ,0O0 pairs year. When one stops toethink that one woman of fashion can easily wear 100 pairs of kid gloves during the year.. .es- pecially in the high society circles of3the. eastern cities, it would seem that there are a great many women in this coun- try, therefore, who do not wear kid gloves. Our large cities arsSYinmense consumers of kid gloves. New. York stores sell a larger number of kid gloves to the average woman inhabitant than any other city, ex- cept Paris, which, of course, does a large trade with it's floating transents
 '"The center of the glove trade has al- ways been at Grenoble, a mountain city of 55. 900 people, in France. The raw skins manufactured there in one year are valued at 100000. When made into 15,000 900 pairs of gloves the value is doubled. The making-up of the skins provides employ ment to 30,OOO people.

If he takes off one of his pawns and gives me two moves at the start l can generally catch his king at the close of the game.
 There is woman living who can beat MT. Showalter in an even game, and as for the men-well, the annual champion ship games in which he plays decide that and the world knows the rest.
 Last summer I had the greatest disap- pointment of my life. Twenty women rep resentatives of the different chess clubs all over the world met at the Hotel Cecil, in London, for a chess tournament l could not go because I could not leave my baby. Mrs. Worrell, America's repre- sentative, came out fourth.
 Previous to that I met Mrs. Worrell for a series of match games. They stopped three to two in my favor, and one draw game In the middle of the next game we were interrupted on account of sick ness at home. I have not played since. I am g. very slow player. I like to play only fifteen or twenty moves an hour, which means a thought of three four minutes on each move.
 Using this rate of speed. I played a match game with MT. Riel Bug, late a di- rector in the Manhattan Chess club, of New York, and now of the German army.

CHESS PLAYING AS A PROFESSION FOR WOMEN

I won the match five games up, five to three at the finish
 I also played match game with MT. E. Lasxer, champion of the world, four years, ago, in which I beat him five games. He took off a knight giving me, of course, some odds and himself handicap.
 I won single game on even terms with MT. N. Jasnogrodsky, who is a famous chess player. I also won a game from Louis Schmidt, the violinist and chess player.
 If I.were to advise a woman to take up a game I should recommend chess, be- cause it develops the mind and interests her at the same time The only requis- ites are, as I said before, good mind and common sense, and to this must be added good physical health. With a baby the matter of hours isn't always to be regu- lated, and so, temporarily, I have given up chess playing, but I shall take 1t up again.
 Am open for match games? Yes and no. l want to play again, and am ready to receive any challenge I do not play for money, and perhaps on that account I cannot be called professional" but I am woman chess player and would like to play any woman in the world

CRUELTY IN KID GLOVES.
Another Crime Even Greater Than the Slaugh-
 .AS ter of Birds.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
 "I see that the Woman's Humane Society of St.kbouis recently gave an Audubon re- ception to prove that there is no necessity of slaughtering birds to provide decoration for women's hats" remarked O. F. Aims worth, of New York, who is dry goods importer. "These Audubon receptions are Q fad in the east now, and they give the Woman's Humane Society a chance to ex- press Its sentiment against the horrible cruelty to innocent birds The prattction of birds Is a worthy cause. But while there is a movement to protect the piros there is another more horrible cruelty than the slaughter of songsters which IS un- m needed. It is a cruelty, too, practiced Tor the express purpose of meeting the whims of fashion for the fair sex. refer to the manufacture of kid gloves

 have played several times at an enorm- ous disadvantage, and have come out pret- ty well, so when say that chess playing as a profession for women is a possibility, can be believed.
 They say that a. chess player must begin to learn to play chess long time be- fore he is born. That means that you must have a fair endowment of intellect and a certain amount of good common sense. With these two qualities supplied there is no reason why you cannot, play this, the most intellectual game in the world.
 I did not learn to play chess until after I was married. My husband was pro- fessional chess player, and because l took an interest in the game, he taught me how to play. We have what north erners would consider very nice stocA

Mexico and South America. France ranks first in the supply of skins, and also ranks first in the supply of skins, and also ranks first in the cruelty which characterizes the business. Extreme care is taken in raising the kids, and the little animal is even sewed in cover or blanket to keep the delicate skin in perfect condition. In the in1icts untold pain The little animal writhes in torture at times. But we never hear of ladies forming a society to protest against the use of kid gloves. as has been tried with the Audubon Society for sup pressing the fashion of birds on hats. But the birds are not absolutely necessary, or at least a substitute can be used for dec- oration, while nothing will replace a good kid glove on a well-dressed woman of to- day. I might say that the skins from Chilli and along the Andes mountains are particularly sought after for Suede gloves"
