wilderness yet to any great extent. Last
year several parties went in from Stacy
vile to the Vicinase of old katahdln anc
remained several weeks until the snow
came The women were of the right SC t
TO stand all the universities, though they
were from the city, and said that they had
had the best time of their lives.
And the ladies have had pretty good luck
up that way in the shooting line. One Lynn
doctor has been coming down into Maine
every fall for years after a moose.
He has been able to shoot deer enough.
But deer have got to be too small game for
him. Last season he brought down his
niece to see him get the prize, for he felt
sure that at last his patience was to be
rewarded.
One day while they were coming down
Black stream the niece, who was a little
way ahead in canoe with one of the
guides, saw a moose standing near the wa
ter's edge. The animal was side on and
presented a splendid mark. Up went the
little rifle, and, though the hand of the
maiden trembled convuisively, good fate
sped the bail true and the moose fell dead
with bullet through his heart.
That night the uncle figured up that he
had spent over 81 900 in chasing after a
moose through the Maine forest-and still
lacked the moose. Here was his nineteen
year-old niece down for the week, and To-.
she almost had a moose brought to her.
The uncle disgUStedly decided that hunting
was about all luck anyway.
There is one thing to say about the wo-
men who have been coming to Maine woods
for the last ten years. Not one has yet
shot one of the guides for a bear or her
husband for deer. The woodSmen say
that when the women are out hunting they
are very cautious, with all u woman's in
herent fear that something will happen,
and that no matter how unskiiled the Wo-
man may be in the use Of firearms they,

The Art of CRYING

FROM the New Orleans Tiu.es-Democrat,
Very few women know how to cry prom
eriy, said cold-blooded observer. but
If they realized how potent tears are as a
weapon they would spare no pains in learn
ing to shed them gracefully As a rule
brunettes cry much better than blondes. 7
call to mind, for instance, a very pretty
little lady who was litigant in court some
years ago, and who wept when a certain
portion of the testimony was reached As
the critical moment approached her eyes
began to swim. They seemed to grow larger
and darker, and they took on a wistful and
appealing look that made every man In
the jury box feel as if he wanted to climb
right out and hit the plaintiff with club
Her lips were quivering and presently two
great tears rolled softly down her cheeks
That settled 1t. l was foreman of the fury.
and we were exactly a minute and a half in
giving her verdict. Now, if that had
happened to some other woman equally
worthy, but of lighter complexion the
chances are her nose would have turned
pink and her eyes would have assumed a
slightly inflamed appearance that would
have been-er-very damaging to her cause
II she had shifted, as they usually do T
can't say what the result might have been
A woman who can cry artisticaily can have
anything she wants. I'm surprised 1t isn't
taught, like Delsarte movements"

Pages costumes are always available for

young woman who has been travelling
with her husband in the far northwest,
where his future fortune lies frozen in
rocks teeming with copper, returned to
town a couple of weeks ago with actually
nothing to wear. Her delight at the tum-
bic in prices taken by fetching gowns since
she left last October. just when prices were
highest. was infectious. She invested at
once in some gowns at a shop where before
the holidays every semblance of a dress
would have cost her the price Of a trip to
the Pacific coast and return.
New Styles Contrasted.
Two of her gowns carry out perfectly the
two ntrasting models of princess and
tunic. The first is street gown of a deli
cate castor shade of broadcloth. 1t lis
called a street gown and worn one, but,
as matter Of fact, It has the inevitable
droop which should relegate it to the class
of carriage gowns. The skirt is so slender
about the hips that one has to look twice
to see whare is concealed the fullness
which makes possible the tiny train or dip
aforesaid. This fullness is hidden under a
deep pleat in tie back. The pleat is held in
place by tin buttons, with silk cords, in
stead of button holes. The coat was a long
three-quarter affair, with rounded corners,
large faring collar and two large pearl but
tons to fasten it on the left side 1t was
only half fitted, and had that slightly
wrinkled effect about the waist which is a
feature of many of the new gowns. Ii cum
ningly gives the illusion that the waist of
the wearer is so slender that il would be
impossible TO fit ii snugly; therefore, the
cloth embraces it but loosely.
Bodice Pretty and Odd.
The slender effect of the skirt could not
be seen until the coat was removed. A
very fetching and odd waist of blue with
yoke of pin stripes OF blue and white, com
pleted the costume.
The tunic gown was of taffeta silk of
shade of blue with a purple cast to it, 1t
had insertions of fine black lace around the
edge of the tunic, about the bertha over the
shoulders, and on the cuffs over the hand.
The almost inevitable yoke was of white
more insertions of black lace on the yoke
running perpendicuiarly up the yoke and
over the high collar. MABEL BOYD.

Care of the Teeth.
From the Hartford Times.

\ well-shaped mouth IS often marred if
the teeth are not in harmony. The proper
care of the teeth is very important; for, if
neglected indigestion results, and this leads
to piuples, wrinkles and the general spolia
ton OF the complexion. Use moderately
hard toothbrush. and every morning after
breakfast and before going to bed thor
ouShIy cleanse the teeth outside and inside
with soft water and a good powder Rinse
the mouth out also after every meal. DO
not use dentifrices that contain acids, as
they quickly destroy the enamel Charcoal
powder is good and acts as a deodorizer as
wen as whitening the teeth; moreover, it
cleans them without injuring the enamel.
The following is an excellent recipe which
would be Well to have made up, for ii not
only cleanses the teeth, but takes away
any offensive taste or smell in the mouth:
Two ounces Of powdered cattiefsh bone.
one ounce of areca nuts raw pounded, five
ounces of prepared areca nuts charcoal.
Perfume with few drops of essence of
vioiets or any other scent You prefer. The
soft inner portion only of the cuttlefish
bone should be used, as the hard, neshy
shell removes the enamel

From Harper's Bazaar
There are two or three new ways of ar
ranging the hair, but the pompadour style
still remains foremost, and while it is not
as exaggerated as it was, is still rather
larger, and can often be accomplished by
using only ones hair. The front hair is
brought down a little more over the face
than it was and while there are hints and
rumors that bangs are coming in again as
yet all that has been seen of them is the
lew curls brought down to soften the gen.
orally unbecoming look of a stiff pompa-
dour roll. AT the back the hair is arranged
either half way down or very high. For
evening II is always arranged very high and
brought as far forward as possible in order
TO show the shape of the head All sorts
of very high ornaments are put at the left
side OF the knot This is quite like what
was done last year, only, if possible the
fashion is now universal of always wearing
something in the hair with evening dress.
Thefe are bows of twisted velvet ribbon
very narrow and very high, with an aigrette
and Jeweled clasp; there is an arrange
ment OF one long ostrich feather that bends
forward instead of back, and this is finish
ed with knot of ribbon. Then there are
small hair dresses made of knots of ribbon
and flowers, the flowers, in a little cluster
from which start the bows of ribbon. The
measurement from the chin to the tip of
the ornament in the hair is somewhat star
Ting, but still the effect is smart. and of
course is fashionable so what more is there
to be desired? Black or white feathers are
used; never colored ones, but bows of all
colorS are permissible
Ihere are a great many combs still worn
in the hanback, combs, side combs and
front combs to push the pompadour for
ward. IheSe are almost always of the
dark tortoise she'll. Sometimes there is a
band of diamonds or rhinestones on the
edge of the comb but nothing very elab-
crate The hair itself must be wavy and
is bestowed upon the hair nowadays: for
while 1t is the fashion to have wavy hair, it
Is not the fashion to have it disorderly and
there must be a gloss and finish that tell of
good brushing and thorough care

From the Boston Herald

1t is long since New York has had a gov
srnor of the literary ability of Theodore
Roosevelt. Those who heard his late course
of Lowell lectures in this city have vivid
recollection of how interesting he made
their theme. He puts a good deal of his
own vigorous and engaging personality
into his composition. Mr.. Roosevelt has
produced several highly readable books In
his leisure from politics. Among them, his
extended work on the nswer west will be
remembered, as also his clever biographies
of Gouverneur Morris and Thomas H Ben
