Nordica Bed jacket.

If there is one luxury that woman
will appreciate, even one who is sup
piled with all the essentials of mod
-ern outfit, it is q comfortable little
jacket which she can slip on in the
morning as she sips her cup of coffee
or chocolate. Nothing among the vast
assortment of fancy negigees meets
with the enthusiastic approval with
which this knitted affair is received.
First to send it on the highway to pop
nlarity was Madame Nordica, who was
presented with one of these a few
weeks ago when making n tour of the
country. 1t was exactly the thing she
had longed for, but had never been
able to find, and you may be sure she
exhibits the pretty little jacket TO all
her intimates, who Immediately sit
down and begin to copy 1t.
This jackets greatest charm lies in
the fact that there are no frills and
furbelows to get in ones way, and it
lis as warm as anything possibly could
be, for it is knitted of heavy wool, and,
while far from tight-fitting. it clings
ito the figure just enough to suit all re-
'quirements. 1t consists of one piece
and is worked in plain stitch; rather,
1T is knitted SO. The sleeves are in the
regulation coat style, and there is a

Hunting the wild Turkey.

Several different methods for taking
the wild turkey are pursued, the most
popular being the calling" method.
The wild Sobbler. like his tame broth
er, is an inveterate lover, which quail
lty since even before the white man
first came to hunt him in Virginia
and the Carolinas has led him blindly
into vastly more serious trouble
than the matter of squabbles with his
jealous brothers. Long, long ago some
observing aborlglne learned to call
him to his doom by initiating the Sc
ductiye yelp of the hen turkey. The
ambushed savage, well practised In
producing his mendacious call, readily
decoyed the love-mad gobbler within
easy range of his deadly arrow. The
white man learned of the Indian.
Shrewd as he is. the turkey has not
fully learned that frequently death
turks behind the dulcet call of his
lady-love. His desire is tempered by
distrust, however, and despite his
buster and hurry TO reach the side
of the lovelorn hen, he is wary, and
cautiously dallles in his coming, TO
assure himself that all is well. He
will detect the faintest error in the
most carefully modulated call, or will
see the slightest movement. Then
swift and still as fleeting shadow
lie will steal away to the deepest
cover, there to remain in hiding till
his fears subslde before his rising

One of Them Tells About Her Studies
Poetry and Painting Important.
The life of the little Chinese girl OF
to-day, although an improvement in
some respects upon that led by her
sister of an earlier generation. is still
nightly amusing from an American
or European standpoint.
She is betrothed at thirteen. Her
course of study. which is painstaking
and thorough, by the way, includes a
knowledge of the poetical names of
flowers and the rearing of goldfish.
A clever little Chinese lady. Miss
Wong jim Linu, daughter of a diplo-
mat now residing in st. Louis, talked
to an interviewer q short time ago,
giving some interesting details on this
subject, says the Philadelphia North
American.

"Girls in the upper class in China
are taught to rear flowers. We learn
the culture of the hundreds of beauti-
full flowers which bloom in China,
particularly the chrysanthemum, the

"Often we go out to the ponds and
lakes to gather lilies. That is consid-
cred q very nice pastime for young
ladies.
"Our education is not regarded as
complete unless we know the poetical
names of all the flowers, as well as
how to take care of them. This is not
very difficult because our recreation
is almost always taken in the flower
garden.

plishment Of the Chinese girl.
'The reason why Chinese girl is
betrothed so long before she is married
is. as my parents have explained to
me, because the Chinese like to have
worldly affairs settled as soon as pos
sible. Parents wish to be sure that
whatever may happen to them their
