Women who Dress Like Men,

Tourists in the Austrian Tyrol and the
remoter regions Of the Swiss Alps Of
ten come across strange peculiarities Of
dress, especially among the females IN
those out Of the way places. In the
little village Of Champery, which nes-
ties almost under the frowning Dent
du Midi, the women dress like men and
may often be seen in the fields. Nat
urally they are objects of much inter
est to tourists, but the women do not
seem to be at all uncomfortably con-
scious Of the peculiarly Of their garb.
The peasants Of Champery are SIM
pie, kindly folk, and doubtless find this
novel dress more accommodating to the
hard work they have to do.

THE HOME IN FRANCE.
Il Is Mainly an Adjunct to Life or
the Outside.


The father and mother In Paris eat
at home when they do not eat out, but
absolutely no informal social inter
course invudes the apartment. which is
more than anything else sort Of fac
tory in which Is produced whatever
the family needs for life outside. y vast
amount of sewing is done here. French
girls Of even wealthy parents, after
they finish school. attend courses Of
dressmaking and millinery and to a
great extent the industry which turns
out the French woman as model OF
good dressing. to be followed by the
world, is carried on by the women Of
the family In what would be the home
if the French knew the meaning Of the
word.
A reception day is vigorously kept.
and much entertaining at dinner and
dejeuner may be done. but always of
formal character. 4 person having the
penetrating qualities Of book agent
might venture to try dropping In on
French woman on day when she is
not regularly receiving but in the nat
ural course of ordinary social expert
ence in Paris this would never happen.
says Flora Mcdonald Thompson in
Harper's Bazar.
Such order OF living readily permits
great economy One has not to waste
time, good clothes or house room in
daily preparation for the unexpected
guest Six days Of the week a French
woman may run her sewing machine
in the middle Of heE salon If she likes,
secure from the interruption Of chance
callers. IT is said that the chief func-
ton Of the petit salon Of Paris apart
ment is to provide storage room for
ball gowns which on reception days are
taken down from the chandelier ana
locked up in a bedroom till the guests
have departed.

E in the early da,'s Of autumn,
"a and already the tcndcrcr
leaves. touched by the first
frost, were beginning to fail softly
upon the grass.
Within cemetery, beside 4 freshly
green grave, sat q woman dressed in
black. She was young and fair. Up
on the grave lay Il little bunch Of
fresh flowers. Every day for two
months past she had brought flowers
to the grave and had sat foc an hour
on the bench underneath the willow
tree which shaded it.
AS she sat thus. absorbed in her ten
der memories, she never consciously
raised her eyes to note who passed by.
But one day she saw, quite, as it were,
by accident, young man standing a
little distance from her, gazing at a
grave she did not remember to have
noticed before. He also was dressed
in mourning, and his face was pale and
sad. Her heart was suddenly very
tender toward him, for she knew him
for brother

OUR FIRST HUNT CLUB.
II EUs Orca n,&cd In Pennsylvania
Away Back II 176G.


Away Back II 176G.
The year 17G6 is far back, but it Is
interesting 70 think that the mutter-
inss Of the coming war storm were not
yet so engrossing even then but that
the sportsmen of Pennsylvania could
,uip their attention to more system
atic organization of their foS bunting
forces and then established the first
hunt club in the country, the Glouces-
ter Hounds. Not that this was the be-
ginning of the sport in Pennsylvania,
that cninently horse loving country,
for fox hunting had held high place
in the pastimes Of the people many
wear before. 1t was rather the evil
dence that the sport had become so I'M
portant that it needed systematfzlng'
SO that districts might be thoroughly
hunted in turn and contentious. rivalry
and clashing dates be avoided.
All the early fox bunting clubs had
their origin in the pre-existing owner
ship Of greater or less number OF
hounds by private owners. Every con-
sidera bic landowner in the south kept
them. and good dogs they were. not
always orthodox. according to the
standard OF the Belvoir and the Quorn
CT today, but nevertheless hounds de-
rived from the best English and Eu-
ropean stock and continued by judi
cious selection CT those who showed
the instincts by conformation suitable
to the country in which they were
called upon to work. Washington may
be quoted as one Of the soutberners
who kept hounds and hunted them too.
Lafayette. moreover, sent him from
France a splendid pack Of French fox
hounds, with qualities which still fur
ther helped to complete the most per-
feet animal for American fox hunting,
the American hound.
From the formation Of the Giouccs-
ter Fox Hound club in 1766 until to-.
day clubs have played the most i'm
portant part in preserving the sport
and regulating Its practice Not all
clubs of equal Importance, 1t is true,
but all Of the same spirIt-ulusrated

NEW YORK TIME.
It Is the Standard Used In All Our
Weather Bureau Stations.

It Is the Standard Used In All Our
Weather Bureau Stations.
When we read report from any Of
the 1G0 regular weather bureau sta
tons throughout our land bringing the
information that q rainstoEm, 4 tor
nado or some other meteorological phe-
nomenon began at a certain hour we
need not suppose that the hour men
toned refers to the time at the place
where the observation was made The
hour given is the exact New York time,
for every clock at the regular weather
bureau stations all over the land is set
to the seventy-ffth meridian, or east
ern standard time, which IS exactly
five hours behind Greenwich time.
Only this standard Of time IS used
in the text Of the Monthly Weather
Review, and all weather bureau OBJ
servers are required to record obserya-
tons by 1t. The reason for this is that
the best scientific deductions from the
weather reports must be based upon
the conditions Of the atmosphere exist
ing simultaneously in different parts
Of the country.
It would be very ludicrous If all the
hundreds Of reports sent daily had to
be changed at the central Office in
Washington from local to eastern time,
and so all the regular observers are re-
quired to use the New York, or eastern
time, In making their reports.
There are many volunteer observers
and newspaper correspondents who il
reporting weather phenomena use 9TH
er standards Of time. If the weather
bureau has occasion to use their re-
ports the time Is often corrected to
agree with the eastern standard or the
local standard is mentoned.-Detroit
