LIFEBOATS on OUR COAST.
Warp the Boat Out With . Buoy, and
PrOpel Her by Motor Power.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sr: Your
very seasonable editorial article on Life
boats and Tugs" in which you call attention
to the lesson that should be learned from tho
gallant rescue. made by the tug Navigator.
Of the shipwreoked Grew Of the schooner
Henry p, Mason. should awaken interest
and practical effort on the part Of all nautical
minds and inventive landlubbers.
Being n sort of a cross between these two
classes, | have given considerable thought
to the question of how to get lifeboat
through the surf: and am con vinced that the
simplest and best way is to have a buoy an
chored of the lfc-saving station. with cable
running to it from the shore. When the life
boat is TO be launched. the cable can be rove
through a small snatch-block in the bow Of
the boat and the boat hauled throug Oh the surf,
either by direct pull by the crew or by a small
plan would keep the boat Is head to the sea -,
and she could be warped out beyond the aurf,
then east adrift and propelled by the oars:
or better still. by motor.
or course this plan necessitates the launch
ing OF the lifeboat al the place where the buoy
is. but that might be an advantage. for pull
of a mile or two along the coast would not be
as hard AS dragging, the boat and truck
through the sand would be. Besides. can
not see why our lifeboats cannot be driven
by machine motor power.

The Agreeable Girl.

The wise girl, on the other hand, sur
yeys herself and thinks, Now, what
can l do to repay the kindnesses OF oth-
ers and to give them pleasure?" an I'M
selfish thought which brings its own
reward. If the girl can sing. so much
the better for her; but let her learn
some songs which she can sing without
effort and without Ooh, worse than
nothingD making a fuss over them
People at a little evening gathering do
not care to hear your rendition of
grand opera. but they are, oh, so
grateful for a cheerful little song
which comes without any effort. If
YOU have no voice perhaps you can
whistle. ! know a very pretty little
southern girl who has cultivated this
apparently small gift till it has brought
her many friends and good times, not
to speak of much pleasure in her own
home circle If you can't do anything
else perhaps you can talk agreeably,
tell witty little stories and bonmots.
This is an art which can be cultivated
and which is much appreciated: in 9TH
err words think of others and you will
be appreciated Sit like an idol on
your throne and think of yourself and
no one will bother to interrupt your
meditatiOns.

very fancy buckle.
1t is a thousand pities that girls
don't realize more what it means to
them to cultivate even their small tall
ents. The average girl makes the fatal
mistake of looking out for clothes and
of leaving the rest to look out for it
self. Consequently she generally ruins
her family by her frantic efforts to pro-
vide herself with a new hat every ten
days or So and her collection of gowns
and even of ribbons is worth looking at.
But, alas, when she is in society she is
a mere dress figure; that is all. She
cannot do anything in entertaining, not
even in nine cases out of ten talk in an
interesting manner, once you get her on
the subject of dress and her own self.
Her very extravaganza in dress fright
ems the men she might otherwise at
tract, and her stupidity and lack OF ac-
complishments bore them stiff. In the
end she gains nothing but lot OF
dressmakers' bills and collection OF
out of style garments.

ing between Algiers and Marseilles and
is now serving in that capacity. Prob
ably the number of Algerian Moham-
medan women that travel on these YES

man ships surgeon especially desirable
in this instance; still it was a begin
ming. Since Mile. Broido began her
work other young French women ply

After all, however, it was not an
American woman who thus broke the
ice for her sex, but French woman, in

American trained nurses are beginning
to serve as well paid stewardesses on
ocean steamers. but no graduated wo-

applying for the berth.

idea became familiar to marine author
tiles. Many of the passengers on these

He must be either very blind or very

great change that has taken place in
the status of womankind in the past
generation. Fifty years ago dire catas-

woman a more liberal education and
broaden for her the wage earning field.
Not one of the disastrous consequences
predicted has followed. Nature looked
out for that Woman is still gentle, af-
fectionate. refined. still loves her home

she learned TO read and write, and she
