AN ENGLISH WoMAN's IDEA OF

An English lady who spent some time
in this country says of the American
woman: "Outside her home, think the
time when Madam America shines most
of all is when she dimes out. She has a
bright, sparkling flow of small talk
which is like a draft of fresh spring wa
ter, and she can talk for an hour about
nothing and yet be interesting. Then
she comes to dinner with good,
healthy appetite which the rest of the
feminine world can only stand aside
and behold in wondering admiration.
Good style is as marked in the Amer
lean shop girl or waitress as in the
highborn colonial dame; they all have
it. 1t is not the clothes themselves, but
it is the way they are worn, coupled
with the great sense of equality which
pervades feminine America from the
washerwoman to the millionairess,
which produces this inexplicable air
The waitress who serves you at lunch
con in New York is a girl who has had
a good education"

club of ladies. Its secretary is Mrs.
Cousens There is also a woman's
French bulldog club of America.
Almost every fashionable breed of
canine is now under the fostering care
of clubs and associations of women dog
fanciers. The leading one of these or
CARNATIONS is the Ladies Kennel Asso-
citation of America, which holds its an
nual bench show in Madison Square
Garden, New York. Another prominent
dog club is the Ladies' Kennel Associa-
ton of Massachusetts. to which distin-
guished society women OF Boston be-
long.
The annual show of the Ladies' Ken
mel association in Madison Square Gar
den is a great occasion. 1t is the event
that opens the city social season and
celebrates the return of fashionable
people to New York from the seaside
and the country. 1t is held the first
week in November. The exhibition this
year is the third annual one the ladies
have presented to the public. Each
year the exhibit improves. 1t is now
said to be equal to what the Westmin-
ster Kennel club, the most influential
association of men dog fanciers in
America, was able to do in its earlier
years.
At any rate it is show of a thou
sand, that womens dog exhibition.
Picture to yourself the Enclosure in
which wild west and circus people have
exploited themselves, in which cavalry
evolutions, political conventions and
walking and bicycle matches have had
place. Think of this great arena full of
dogs, woolly and hairless, Great Danes
almost as tall as a cow and little rats
of things weighing less than a pound,
of all colors and tempers. and nearly
all bowling, barking. whining, at once.
and you will have an idea of what that
dog show in Madison Square Garden is
like.
Nearly 1900 dogs are exhibited this
season, and there are more than fifty
classes of them. In one respect the as
ISOLATED women dog fanciers Of Amer
lea have it better than their sisters in
England. The Ladies' Kennel associa-
ton here has had from the start the
help of men dog lovers, who cheerfully
offered the ladies the benefit of their
experience and encouragement. Many
Of the women of the kennel associations
are relatives of the gentlemen in the
Westminster and other dog clubs of
men.

hole that is too big to be drawn up with
thread is too big to be mended at all.
No, we can't all be alike. Some of US
love straight lines and beaten tracks,
and others-well, just know this: Once
as a child I saw picture of heaven all
straight lines of angels reaching out as
far as the eye could see. And 1 made
up my mind all of a sudden that
didn't want to go there. Still perhaps
they won't be like that. Perhaps they'll
be allowed to break up into little groups
and circles. But if they're not one
thing is sure-I'll step out of line.

PERFUME FOR THE BATH.

Delicious rose perfume for bathing
can be made by filling a small bottle
loosely with freshly gathered rose gera-
MUM leaves and pouring the purest of
glycerin into the interstices between
the leaves. When the bottle is full TO
the neck close securely with a glass
stopper and place the bottle'where the
rays of the sun will fall directly on it.
In a few weeks the glycerin will be
ready for use, and few drops of it will
perfume a bowl of water delightfully."-.
This preparation will generally be
found very beneficial to the skin dur
ing cold weather, but if the glycerin is
