Essence of Orange Leaves.

One of the remarkable industries
of Paraguay is the preparation of es-
sence of orange leaves. More than
$50 years ago the Jesuit priests, who
then ruled that secluded country, inn
ported orange seeds and planted
groves, which have now become i'm
mense forests, filled with small estab-

which is exported to France and the
United States for use in soap and per.

by the natives in Paraguay as healing

CHARMING WOMAN.

Gracious-courteous, friendly, kind.
attractive, graceful, disposed to show
good will, benehcent, full of grace or
favor" The dictionary definition
certainly appears to cover a goodly
number of the virtues as well as the
graces. Perhaps that is why the
patroaizing woman who has none OF
the Christian virtues in her makes
such a bad imitation of being gracious.
Yet when gracious woman is met it
becomes evident why others wish to
initiate her. for her charm is wide and
abiding. Graciousness, in fact, is so
enviable a possession that one wonders
why more women do not try for 1t.
There are plenty of clever women
whose lack of it is depressing and dis
tressing. There are plenty CT aver
age women who could make them
selves delightful by its aid 1t is most
needed and most missed in the daily

Gloves in Olden Days.

The first glovers were monks. The
holy fathers of Sithin were in the
days of Charlemagne granted by that
monarch the unlimited right of hunting
in consideration OF their making
girdles, gloves and book covers from

is an old saying that it takes three
nations to make a glove-Spain to pro-
duce the kid, France to cut it out and
England to sew it together.
