Harry de Windt Delivers Vivid
Lecture on His Attempt to
Find a Path for Railroad
PARTY SUFFERS MUCH
From Paris 10 New York, Over
land" Interestingly Pictur-
ed, Pleases a Large Audience

Harry de Windt. the well-known ex-
plorer and traveller. lectured last night
at Lyric Hall on Eddy street. The sub
+ ject OF the lecture was From Paris to
New York Overland"
De Windt was one Of six men who.
about three years ago. started from the
French capital in the interest of several
railroad promoters. The party con
sisted Of six adventures, who sought
10 find the most feasible route for an
overland railroad between the two
cities that were the subject of his lee
ture.
When they started from Paris they
took the most northerly route through
Russia and then proceeded in almost
/ a direct easterly line through frozen
Siberia. The aim of the explorers was
TO traverse the most northerly section
Of Russia,s territory. From the time
Of the entrance into Siberia, the party
suffered untold privations.
The provisions ran out and for weeks
at a time the men existed solely on d
diet OF frozen fish Oftentimes the
fish found would be in such a decayed
condition that it was almost sure death
10 eat il.
The men suffered greatly from the
cold. but kept doggedly on in their
march to the Bering Sea. The journey
was one OF the longest ever taken by
any explorer in the frozen north. De
Windt and his men travelled up the
Lena River. one of Siberia's great ice
streams for 2000 miles Horses and
sleghs were used. When the horses
could no longer be provided with food
they were discarded, and 1900 more
miles was travelled with reindeer,
Fodder for the native animals of the
north became exhausted and for nine
days the party travelled with dogs.
Several Of the men became sick and
al Irkutsk. in the eastern part Of ST.
IBERIA. three of them died and We're
buried by their fellow travellers.
When the three remaining men. De
Windt De Clinchamp and a English
man named Hardy. reached the Bering
Sea. they waited for days. seeking some
means Of traversing the e-blocked
sea. so that they might continue their
journey down through Alaska and
into the United States. Finally a
revenue cutter was sighted and the
three men were carried over the water
20 Alaska. from which point they made
their way to this country and civiliZa-
ton
The lecture was largely attended and
De Windt held the audience. with his
narration Of the hardships the party
endured He told Of the Siberian pris-
Ons and the manner in which the Rus
sian eXiles We're treated. The lecture
was illustrated with a number OF ex-
cellent stereopticOn views taken by one
of the party

eyelets.
The fair bather who would have
suit out of the ordinary may copy
the design to be worn by fashion
able woman on the Newport beach.
The skirt will be shaped in a decided
flare, with stitched kits around the
hips. The round-necked blouse is
draped like the classic Greek peplum,
and the sleeves hang in wing points,
caught on the shoulder and just above
the elbow, leaving the upper part of
the upper arm exposed. With this is
worn a broad girdle of silk elastic
webbing.
The safest Of bathing garters is
made thus: Around the waist next to
the skin is the silk garter girdle, from
which depends silk elastic, finished
with two ends Of strong ribbon. To
the side Of the stockings stop is at
tached ribbon loop. The ribbon ends
on the side elastics are run through
this loop and tied, and the strain OF
every movement is on the side elastic.

that loose, baggy effect which char
acterized them in the past.
For example, a dark-blue mohalr,
trimmed with white braid, has a simu-
lated skirt-yoke with three rows of
the white braid, fitting snugly around
the hip. The five cores which COM
pose the skirt flare broadly below the
knees, and are finished with three
more rows of braid. The blouse, which
is laid in large box plait down the
front, has round neck, outlined by
three rows of braid, and both blouse
and skirt open on the left side.
A dark-green mohair has a snugly
fitted skirt and blouse that is tight
fitting around the neck and shoulders
and plated into the belt in fine tucks.

square sailor collar, and fiat, >knotted

in a fetching design Of narrow white

STRAWBERRY LORE---BY NINE. DE RYTHER

TN ENGLAND fresh strawberries
are always served with their
4 stems on. Sometimes they are
brought on a plate, but as a rule
they are piled in dainty little mound
in the centre of a crisp lettuce leaf.
Accompanying the berries there is al
ways little dish Of powdered sugar.
The delicious, ripe berries are
dipped in the sugar, one by one, and
eaten. No matter in how many differ
ent ways strawberries are served, they
never taste so delicious as when eaten
in this English fashion
Some one may suggest, ct is the
berry; that the English strawberry is
tar better than those grown in Amer
lca. That is true, as a rule, but some
of the American berries are even bet
ter than the English 1t is merely a
matter of knowing when and where
to get them.
The Hackensack berry is the finest
III the world, and there are some ber-
rles grown up the Hudson which have
no superior. In Michigan they Justly
pride themselves upon the excellence
of their strawberries.
Unfortunately, strawberries grown
in market gardens or in the fields of
big producers, and then exposed in
the markets in towns and cities, are
more or less covered with dust and
sand. They have to be washed before
they are in fit condition to be placed
on the table. The process Of washing
robs the fruit of some of its delicacy
of flavor, unless it is very carefully
done
The berries should always be
washed before the stems are removed,
and thus allowed to drain for some
time until they are quite dry before
removing the stems and huls.
The best way to free the berries
from dust and sand is to turn them
from the box or basket into a coarse
colander and let the cold water run
over them from the water tap; then
let them drain in the colander.

however, should never wear white.
These white lansdowns are trimmed
elaborately with silk braid, and a
suit recently completed for an ex-
elusive resort is trimmed with bands
of pale blue washable taffeta. White
stockings and sandals, fastened on
with blue ribbons, and a white mo-
hair lingerie bathing hat, completes a
girllsh if delicate-looking makeup.
Lingerie bathing hats will be much
worn by the socially elect, but it
remains to be seen whether they will
prove at all serviceable The hair is
first covered with the regulation oil
silk cap, which is hidden by a genuine
baby lingerie hat, the anticipated
Hounces and the soft, gathered crown
being made from mohair or silk to
match the bathing suit. 1t is tied
under the chin in a coquettish bow.
Where the lingerie hat is not worn,
the oilskin cap may be hidden by a
square Of wash tafeta silk, fastened
on turban fashion; or thesoil-silk cap
may be covered with the material of
the dress and finished with a coquet-
tiSh bow on one side

No matter how old he is, the Ice
lander always obeys his parents. He
is never supposed, according to the
ethics of his people, to outgrow hlial
obedience. A Danish traveller told the
other day how he first had this dom
mating virtue of the Icelanders
brought to his attention.

fullness over the hips and in the back.
The bottom of the skirt flares, and
each gore is outlined by three gradu-
ated rows of the white braid, each
finished with a white button. Three
lines of the braid run over each
shoulder in graduated lengths to form
d "V'' shaped effect back and front.
The short, puffed sleeves have three
rows of braiding running down from
the shoulder, and high standing coll
lar is finished in the same way, while
the narrow box plait down the front
of the waist has white buttons ar
ranged in groups of three With this
is worn a blue and white Tam O
Shanter.
The stockings are dark blue, and the
canvas bathing slippers black. White
bathing slippers make the foot look
very large.
A striking study in cardinal red mo-
hair and white has the cardinal for the
body of the suit, and the white mo-
hair for the belt and the large seal
lOped collar. These are braided in
cardinal novelty braid, showing dash
of black. Red stockings and black
sandals complete the costume.

CdLifOr51id'S Fearless
UOn1en

EUROPEANS who only mildly
- condemn the freedom allowed
- young women in America
would be unspeakably shocked
if they knew to what degree that
freedom is carried in a certain isolated
district of California. This district is
in Lake County, and is populated by
wealthy ranchers and farmers, whose
fathers were early pioneers. No for
eigners have as yet settled among
them.
In this wild, thinly-populated re-
gion woman may travel in safety by
herself over any of the lonely roads
There is absolutely no difference in
the privileges accorded to women and
men, as far as individual freedom is
concerned
1t is no uncommon thing for a girl
to ride twenty miles to town on
horseback to attend some social func-
ton, and return late at night without
escort. She may have to pass through
woods infested by prowling animals,
but she has been used to dealing with
them all her life AS for danger from
any human agency, that is never
thought of.
There are feuds in this district be-
tween families, as in some Southern
States, but the, women are never con-
cerned in Them ...~.
Their free life has endowed the
women with the same amount Of ply
s1cal courage as the men.
Some years ago anti-Chinese agi-
tatOrs stirred up a strong sentiment
in this part of California, and frequent
demonstrations and even attacks were
made on Chinese washhouses. One
day a mob gathered before the string
of Chinese huts in Calistoga. Most
of the rioters were fruit-pickers, la
bOrers from San Francisco, for the
local farmers and ranchers had no
particular prejudice against the coolies.
Stones were beginning to shatter
the windows of the shanties. The
sheriff had attempted in vain to dis
perse the hoodlums, but, being alone,
he dared not use force.
Suddenly a horse came galloping
down the main street On it was
mounted young girl, the daughter
of farmer who lived some distance
out of town on the Lake County
road. In one minute she was laying
about her in the midst of the mob
with a stout whip, and the rioters ran
as they probably had never run be-
fore. By her courage, this California
girl saved a dozen helpless Cinnamon
from being mobbed and financially

Siwash Fishing.

The Siwash Indians on Puget
Sound make their living principally
by fishing, but the Siwash buck does
not condescend to go out for his
evening meal of smelt or sardines
with a hook and line, as the white
man does
He takes long pole, and for two
feet from each end he makes a sort
Of comb of it by driving through it
long, thin French nails Then he
launches his canoe and goes out for a
pleasant sail He paddles easily with
the pole, and every few minutes he
pulls UP fish impaled on the nails.
With shake he drops it inboard, and
then calmly continues his padding.
