 Mrs. Walker. who Is the sole heir of her father, William Weightman. who made his vast fortune by practically controlling the quinine market. had evinced an intense repuglance toward having her picture taken TOT the pur- pose of publication
 Of course. the picture of the woman who is even richer than the famous Hetty Green was something greatly to be desired in these days when public demand makes pictures almost essen tIaI to everything written. and Mrs. Walker was literally besieged by knights of the camera, all trying to take a shot at her.
 She must of necessity leave her home os the vast interests of her fathers laboratory, in which she had been a mariner. and has now become sole pro- nrietor, required her attention. So, rising very early. before any of the picture men had taken their envelop- ing stations around her home. Mrs. Walker hied herself by way of electric brougham to the offices of the labora- tory.
 The whole office force was assembled fin anticipation of her arrival, men grown gray in her fathers service formed the first row, the younger en- ployes bringing up the rear.
 She carefully scrutinized the assem- bly, to see if perchance no cameraite with better sleuth-like propensities than his fellows had not surreptitfouslv mixed in with the gathering. But the camera men never thought woman so rich would have got out of bed SO

Difficulties Encountered by Maiden Philadelphia Record.
 With n Desire to EleYnfe.


 All told, there's no one in this wide world who suffers more keenly than the dear girl who is trying to elevate her neighborhood. She has the lOftiest am bItions. to judge by her struggles in the good work. and the poorer her To- cality the harder the row she has chosen to hoe.
 One such maiden, who dwells fin small street off North Seventh, is made more than miserable by the difficulties which she encounters. The neighbors' children pain her delicate sensibllities, for too frequently they are "as dirty as pigs" Even the adult neighbors are wearing, some of the women having a tendency to shapeless wrappers and cultures which seem to have been con- jured by running through brambIe bushes. Few of them are delicate enough to close the doors and windows when they chastlse their numerous olive branches, or. indeed, Curing many operations of which many persons make privacies.

Q e e A Mystery Market,

An entertainment which can be easi- ly arranged by people desiring to use their energies for sweet charity, is the Mystery Market" The first requisite is a number of clothes-horses. which can be decorated with tissue paper flowers of large size. like peonies and sunf1owers. To these frames are hung bundles containing articles of different sizes and values, disguised by numer- ous wrappings. A small article. if wrapped voluminously. will occasion the more diversion, which Is part of the play. The clothes-horse are pre- sided over by young women in cos- tune, representing characters of re- cent fiction, such as Mrs Wiggs, Lady Roses daughter and others. The vis- itors to the Mystery Market are sup posed to invest in the bundlep which range in price from 10 cents to con- siderably more. Ribbons, toys small pieces of bric- a-brac. kitchen utensils. books, fancy articles and confection- cry, are some of the articles which are to be found at the market, and as tn. summer colonists have often many of the first named articles which can be spared from their store of furnishings. the market can usually be gotten up with little expense. Tea and cakes are to be served to the visitors on payment of a small sum, and thus a greater feeling of sociability is engen- dered through the cup that cheers.
