Marianina held out both hands, and
choked and could not speak. It was an
exquisitely keen pleasure to see him; it
was also an exquisitely keen pain. She
noted the downtrodden shoes, his elbows
ready to push through and her heart
ached. She stood tall and sedate, a d.
vinely excellent foil, beside her glitter
ing sister. Enrol was tall, also, and Of a
beautiful slimness. Her hair was the
color of ripe corn, and her eyes were
blue with the blue old china teacups.
Steve talked to Marianina, but his eyes
were full Of Enrol. And Marianina saw

They Like to BE Ugly.

AS II nature had not been unkind
enough, the Thibetan woman heightens
her ugliness by smearing her face with
q horrible black ointment to keep her
skin from cracking in the dry wind.
Her dress is not different from her hus-
bands. Her GROWING glory is her hair.
Plastered down with butter from the
part to the ears, it goes of behind into
sunburst of small braids to which is
fastened a great fan-shaped headdress
falling to the hem Of her garments. 1t
is of spreading strips of red and blue
cloth Joined horizontally by iron
bands and ornamented with countless
coral and malachite beads, silver coins,
and tiny bells. The one poetic thing
about Thibetan lady is the sound of her
gong-a soft, melodious tinkle, belying
the grotesQueness of her face.

MRS. DENIsoN's TRAVELS.
President of General Federation OF
Women's Clubs Has Established
q Unique Record.

Mrs. DENIES T. 8. Denison. presi-
dent Of the General Federation of
Women's clubs, is at present at her
home in West One Hundred and Third
street, Manhattan, resting between
Journeys. And she probably needs the
rest. For three months she was as con-
tinually on the road as a commercial
traveller. In those three months she
travelled more than most women do in
a lifetime, and all without going out

the Mississippi six times. got almost
out to the coast twice and kept en-
gagements- in Louisiana and Texas,
and engagements in Michigan and the
Dakotas. She visited % states in all,

Railway Cars on Skates.

A novel railway system described in
the Revue Technique has cars without
wheels, which are replaced with slip
pers or skates. The cars are raised
on thin film of water, which is
forced under the skates through jet.
A third rail is laid between the two
gliding rails, and a friction wheel,
driven by electric motors, runs on this
and furnishes the propelling force. The
advantages claimed for this system of
taraction are great reduction in the
track resistance and in the power re-
quired by'a car, much smoother
running of the cars, and hence a small
er depreciation both of track and car

high speeds can be attained-American

for it was he who urged and encour-
aged his wife to go into club life and
cheered her through her first moments
of stage fright and was SO proud and
pleased at the general recognition Of
her brilliancy and graciousness and
ability that she couldn't help being
pleased and proud with him.
Speaking of her travels-and even
as she spoke Mrs. Denison was dressed
and ready to 60 to big local club re-
ception as guest of honor"-she said
to a Brooklyn Eagle reporter: II had
a perfectly delightful trip in every
way. 1t seemed to me that each town
outdid the last had visited in its wei
come. And those western club women!
They are such forceful, brainy, prac-
tical creatures. They don't seem to
waste so much time on unimportant de-
tails, but get right down to the meat
of the matter. suppose that in our
eastern cities our various reforms and
charities and public works are so well
organized, so crysta1lized that there is
not so much for the clubs to do. But
out west the women's clubs are an &C
tive living public force, doing things
that ought to be done, accomplishing
things that need accomplishing. And
their hospitality is not mere civility;
their politeness seems to be a deep
seated courtesy that springs from real
kindness.
Il think any one who had been on
my recent trip with me would have
realized tie uses of women's clubs.
Possibly occasionally they would have
realized their abuses, too. But in the
main they do stimulate and develop.
And the club woman is not necessarily
a masculine, domineering. unwomanly
creature. She can overdo it, of course,
and sometimes clubs seem to become
an obsession with women. But those
are the women who are naturally ILL
balanced; if it wasn't clubs it would
be something else. OF course, whole
lot OF them take themselves with ire
mendous seriousness and are awfully
funny.
This southern trip Of mine is prob
ably the last one I shall take as pTesi-
cent of the general federation. My
term ends in the spring."

stufanR for Green Peppers.

Corned beef hash is said to make an
excellent studing for green peppers.
CT course no one would make hash on
purpose to stuff peppers with, but hash
is often left over. A housewife Of an
experimental frame of mind who had
hash left over filed some peppers with
it, poured around them a brown gravy
of butter, flour and water and baked
them. She says there 10 no doubt Of
the success of that experiment.

edge of table so that its mouth projects,

of considerable weight. BY blowing in
the bag, keeping the mouth tight in the
bag so that no air can escape, the up

course, be impossible to blow the book
over without the aid of the bag.

SHAPE OF SUN CHANGING.
A Jekyll and hyde Tendency Has
Been Revealed by Recent
Observation.

Prof. Frank H. Bigelow, weather
observer for the bureau of meteorology.
has recently been making a study of the
atmosphere, and presents mass OF
data and observations showing that "the
sun should be regarded as an incipient
binary star" Recent scientific work
in investigating the circulation of the
solar atmosphere in accordance with the
laws governing the connective and radia-
tive action Of large mass of matter con-
tracing by it's own gravitation have
led Prof. Bigelow to this hypothesis, that
''the single fiery envelope conceals two
discs" says Washington report.
A series OF observations extending
over many years on the period OF solar
rotation at various points on the sur
face shows that the same meridian of
the sun is seen twice in a single rota-
ton of the entire mass; first as the east
ern limb, and second 13 days later as the
western limb. Whatever may be the in
trinsic activity of the sun at a given
zone and on a given meridian, that dis
play becomes visible twice, first TO the
east and second to the west"
The tables prepared by Prof. Bige;ow
giving the rate of angular rotation of
various zones of the suns surface show
that it is far from uniform. being in
creased in proportion to the distance
from the equator. AS yet little has been
done regarding "the fundamental prob
lem of the mode of the internal solar cir
culation." This difference of external
activity of the sun ION two opposite
sides of its mass as If a certain diameter
had greater energy than the one at right
angles to it, is similar to recent dis
covery of Prof. Bigelow in regard to the
earth's atmosphere and leads him to the
conclusion already stated, that "this per-
sistent excess of outfowing energy on
two opposite sides Of the sun suggests
the possibility that the sun should be
regarded as an incipient binary star
where the dumbell figure Of rotation pre-
walls instead of the spheroidal. If this
is really the case, and the evidence sug-
gests it, then there would be a reason for
the existence of the two primary GEN.
tiers of activity of the sun instead of its
having single center.
From this we should expect to find
that the sun has two magnetic and two
meteorological systems and indeed some
double-acting system appears to impress
itself generally upon the solar cosmical
relations. This view is quite in har-
mony with the well-known fact of the
existence of numerous binary systems
of suns more or less widely separated
and it cannot be regarded as unlikely
that the sun is developing in the same
way. The enormous mass of the sun
would seem to entice its constituents
to group themselves preferably about
two centers for the physical processes
involved in circulation and radiation.
rather than about one, and suspect that
this is the correct explanation Of sew
eral well-known phenomena"

HINTS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS

will be happy and codtented in his crib
the greater part of the day, allowing
the mother time to attend to other
duties, or to rest. He does not need
to be held in your arms all the time,
and he never needs to be carried about
to amuse him. Few mothers are strong
enough for that task, and they should
never begin it. A great deal of worry
and many cross spells might be saved

regular hours for feeding and bathing
