An Adventurous Young Woman.

Miss Vera Butler, a young English
girl, recently drove an automobile from
London to Paris and back again, and
has won the distinction of being the
first Englishwoman to accomplish the
task. The journey from Paris to
Havre occupied one day, and that be-
tween Southampton and London the
same length of time. The certificate
for driving an automobile, which is
compulsory in France, was obtained by
Miss Butler at Havre, after passing
the required examination before the
comptroller des mines. Among the
recreations pursued with enthusiasm
from time to time by this young wom-
an have been golfing, swimming, boat
ing, cycling and mountaineering in the
high Alps. She has climbed the Grand
Mulet twice, and has hunted wild pig
at Biarritz.

A Remarkable Woman Lawyer.

A truly unique woman lawyerpassed
away recently in the death of Miss l..
Blanch Fearing of Chicago Although
blind, she was Il writer and a lawyer
of merit She was native of western
Iowa. Her first poem was published
when she was eight years old, and four
years later her poems were appearing
regularly in the Boston Transcript
They were of sufficient merit to call
out friendly letters of commendation
from Oliver Wendell Holmes, John c..
Whittier and Edmund Clarence Sted-
man. In 1850 Miss Fearing was grad
uated with honors from Chicago
law school, Carrying off one of the priz-
es. The same year she was admitted
to the Illinois bar. and from then until
her death she practiced actively in Chi
cago. She possessed a keen analytical
mind. and though mild and gentle of
voice, it is said she attained il consider
able degree of eloquence. In her work
she was generally accompanied by her
mother or sister, who read for her and
told her what was in the various docu-
ments that had to be examined.

Water cre.. Culture for women.

! From a small experiment in water.

New York woman broken down by
bookkeeping, says the New York Post,
has grown an industry that congenial-
| ly and profitably occupies no smaller
number of the sex in New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
plemented by an abundance of time,
patience and philosophy; it may be en-
gagged in wherever suitable springs
can be bought or contiguous to some
centre of distribution, and is particu-
larly to be recommended to women en-
ervated by sedentary occupation and
needing change and yet who must
support themselves. OF the increasing
demand for the product there can be
no doubt. Europeans living here regu-
larly use this relish, and Americans
without a natural taste for it are fast
acquiring one. Besides garnishing
meats with it some cook it like spinach
to which vegetable they prefer it.
Perhaps the leading woman water
cress grower in the country lives on
the Bonnie Springs Farm, near Ship
pensburg, Penn. She made her eA
penses the first year, when she had only
one series of springs on an option from
an unlucky grower. Now she has Gus
toners from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico and westward indefinitely.
She deals with wholesalers in the
cities, metropolitan and summer re-
sort hotels and transatlantic steamship
companies. She has standing orders
for 30 to 800 punches once, twice and
thrice weekly. and one for the latter
quantity every day, to be doubled on
Saturdays.
She hires ten men all the year round
and confines her own activity to acting
as overseer. One of her self-imposed
duties is to tramp over her 14S acres
every day she is at Bonnie Springs.
The BIRDS there. from which all her
winter supply comes give $4,000 bunch
es to a cutting. She can get the cress-
es to Philadelphia in five hours, to
New York in seven, in "a to Chicago
or to st. Louis. st. Augustine or Palm
Beach. shipments to Portland, Me-,
or even to Portland, Ore, reach their
destination fresh and crisp sand
wiched in pounded ice
Water cress is hardy perennial with
antiscorbutic virtues, is propagated
from seed or rooted divisions and can
be grown only in spring water, pre-
ferably impregnated with lime, to
which environment it is indigenous.

Combs are Indispensable. Plain tor

Some classical featured folks do well
to wear the coiffure low, and the beau
ty of this is added to by large black
velvet bow.
For evening wear there is still the
pretty fashion of looping ribbons in

gives height, and the Japanese style
of wearing two large roses on each
side of the center coil in among the
waves.
