they have been doing all summer at New
port is uncanny and positively suncivilized

The speaker was right in saying that it
was bit uncanny. and she was only one of
many who thought that most of the society
women of Newport would manage to blow
themselves up before the year 1900 had run
here they are in 1902, still running taa great
machines with their own fair hands in
large cities one does not see SO much of
this but at Newport and other fashionable
country places it is distinctly the thing for
woman to assume complete charge of her
auto, and to run 1t at such speed as the
law allows.
One of the first society women TO bring
over a machine and have her chauffeur
teach her how to be quite independent of
his services was Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs
This was early in the summer of 1900 from
which time the automobiles already in the
United States may be dated. Society is ever
on the watch for something new, a,id Il inn
mediately became obvious to the bored wo-
man of fashion that here was chance for
a sensation somewhat new. 1t became COM

why women should not run their machines;

Golfers generally will probably have no
ticed that less stress has been laid upon the
recent New York championship victory
captured by Mrs. E. A. Manice than was
the case last year when Miss Genevieve
Hecker won the national championship for
women. While the experts admit that the
victory won by Mrs. Manice was thorough
they hesitate when asked If she will be able
to defend her metropolitan title against
Miss Hecker. Hearing so much Of this sort
of talk. 1 determined to interview several
of the well-known professional trainers and
coaches. 1 found them pretty unanimous
upon one point, and that was that one
could not estimate the golfng abilities Of a
woman player with the same nicely and
certainty that the playing strength of a
man could be estimated. They say the wo-
men are more erratic and not so sure of re-
peating in game. The women become ex-
cited. annoyed and angry at little troubles
which the average male expert meets with

those who regularly bet upon their favor
ties In the big matches have noticed that
as a general thing the wagers made upon
the women are nearly always small.

Ways to Cook Eggs.

A meat diet should be avoided in warm
weather and lighter food substituted for it.
Nothing Of the same bulk contains so much
nutriment as eggs They are easy to di-
gest, and If fresh and daintiIy served will
be appreciated when the temperature is
such that ordinary viands have no charm.
They may be prepared on gas or oil
stove or in a chatting dish, which is an ad-
vantage to the woman who does her own
cooking in summer.
These recipes are recommended:
Buttered Eggs.-Place from one and a
half to two ounces of fresh butter in a
small, clean enameled pan. When hot add
to 1t one dozen of finely chopped mush-
rooms, large teaspoonfuI of chopped
onions and a quarter Of teaspoonful of
parsley. Fry for couple of minutes, then
break into the pan two or three eggs Add
pepper and salt to taste and stir one way
until the eggs are thckened Serve on
square of hot, wel-buttered toast and send
to table at once. For Safety's sake it is
as well to cook a small bit of silver-a we'll
secured coin or even small silver spoon
with the mushrooms. If the silver turns
black the mushrooms are unfit for food and
the whole should be thrown away and the
pan cleansed with the utmost care before
1t is used again.
Welsh Eggs.-Place one ounce Of butter in
a small, clean stewpan. AS soon as 1t
mets slice into it a large onion and fry
for three or four minutes. Then pour into
it half pint of milk and bring slowly to
the boiling point. Thicker with one ounce
of flour and one ounce of butter kneaded
together and stir all one way until of the
consistency of cream. Then add the we'll
beaten yolks of two eggs, half teaspoon
full of finely minced parsley, pepper and
salt to taste, one ounce of grated Dutch
cheese. Make very hot, but do not allow
the mixture to actually boil or it will cur
die and be spoiled. Then supply four hard
boiled eggs cut into halves. Make hot
again and add little squeeze of lemon
Juice. Serve on a very hot dish garnished
with fried crout0ns.

his Red Devil won the famous race at New

that the two are now racing in France.

1t is the correct thing to have several

Both Mr.. and Mrs Kernochan have a deep

not drive one or have one in their stables,

How Camphor Monopoly Works.

from the Journal des Debats.
The camphor monopoly of Formosa is
worked by the Jananese government, which
compels the cultivators to sell to itself at
low price-about thirty-five yen the picuI-
and sells again for from eighty-five to nine
ty-five to a merchant who is bound by con-
tract not to sell higher than 1O2 yen at
Hong Kong. and 107 in London. This is to
prevent contractors from selling at too high
a figure, and thus encouraging other coun-
tries to cultivate camphor. 1t is a childish
device which the firancer defeats by put
ting up man of straw as contractor from
whom he buys" at regulation figure and
sells at his own price.

Evening Gowns.

Evening gowns are very beautiful. the
empire style still holding its own, and
dresses entirely made of brocade are shar-
ing their favor. together with those which
have skirts of chiffon inlaid with lace and
long-tailed coats of striped brocade. Then
the shoulders are frequently draped with
fichus or plainly edged in manner sug-
gestive of the best lingerie, with little
fuckers of Valenciennes lace insertion and
edging threaded with tiny ribbons. Some
times these two styles are combined. The
fichu will be round the shoulders, termi-
mating on either side of the 'front.' when the
tucker will be brought straight across the
decoIletage in a square shape. There is
much talk Of re-establishing the sun-plaited
skirt.
