HAS AN IMMENSE CAPACITY.
Goose Fish Can Easily Devour Bird
Ii Is Named From,

The goose fish, as it is known along
the Massachusetts shores, derives it's
name from an ability to assimilate
wild fowl in cannibalistic fashion.
In Maine the goose fish is often
called the m onk fish, notwithstanding
tt it has anything but a monkish
aspect. Rhode Islanders call it the
bellows fish; in Connecticut it is
known as the molligut; in North
Carolina as the allmouth, which tallies
closely with it's looks, and in places on
the other side of the Atlantic the
names wide gut and kettlemaw are
applied.
Their swallowing capacity is prac-
tically unlimited. Mackerel, sculpins,
dogfsh, sea ravens, crabs, squids and
Holsters have been found in their
stomachs by government experts.
Sometimes they annoy fishermen by
swallowing the wooden buoys attach
ed to their lobster pots.
The adult goose fish is commonly
about four feet long and weighs from
35 to As pounds-Fishing Gazette.

ETHEL BARRYMORE GIRL

The passing of the Gibson girl this
season is remarkable fact. That she
has passed no one denies, and there is
q distinct new type now. 1t is the
Ethel Barrymore girl. She parts her
hair in the center, makes it in a huge
roll over each ear and winds it into an
oblong coil at the back from ear to ear.
Her shoulders droop in the most ap-
proved English fashion, she wears col
larless blouses, unstiffened skirts and
loose waists that are snugly belted in.
She is feminine to the finger tips.
She is alluringly soft and gentle She
even tries to modulate her voice, which
is the last thing. to be expected of the
American girl. if Henry James is right.
The Ethel Barrymore couture, which
is peculiarly graceful and unique, is
worn by everyone who has the hair
and the features.
The stiff shirtwaist is as completely
out as the hip skirt. The white blouses
that are worn with the white skirts are
full of lace, footing, hand embroidery
and fine work. They boast as much
starch as aslinen cambria pocket hand
kerchief.
The Ethel Barrymore girl glides
| along. She moves slowly, quietly, and
does her best to keep her heels from
pounding the floor. She does not stride
| or swagger. She must move in an I'M
dulating fashion, as becomes a girl

whose hair is parted in the center and

Novel and Lucrative Work for Wome1

There is a splendid occupation for
women at summer hotels that possesses
the compensating advantage Of being
a great moneymaker. The "cosmetic

is generally sponsored by young WON

this pulchritude the rare qualities of
business tact and the ability to at
tack herself to fashionable women.
Whenever complimented on her good
complexion she frankly gives all the
praise to certain brand of expensive
toilet preparations. After a golfng
match or surf bathing, when the sun.

complexion Of her rich friends, she is
always willing TO- demonstrate the

LADY CURZON AND LORD KITCHENER

Her wedding TO Henry Molineaux Paget
Howard, nineteenth Earl Of Suffolk and
Berkshire, did not take place until two
years later. She was staying in India
with her sister, Lady CurZon.
Kitchener naturally was much about
the viceregal palace, and Immediately
began the story that he was paying
court to the Chicago, .heiress; She did
not deny it; the ladies Of the palace
did not want it denied. They did their
best to make it reality.
Then came another Kitchener ro-
nance. 1t was said that the Iron Man
was in love with Cora Urquhart Potter
our own Mrs. James Brown Potter
then living il London. Then it was
whispered that Maud Come had re-
jected his proposal, because he would
not give up the army and join her in
her Irish crusade.
clique did not give up. Realizing that
Kitchener was not for Daisy Letter, the
matchmakers tried to marry him to half
dozen other girls.
Curzon, who might have seen that the
Indian comander-in-chief was annoyed
by all this, stood by without interfer-
ing. A word from him might have
stopped the feminine siege. But he did
not understand Kitchener's type, had
loVulHS III cOLlHOu With Hill, anu 50 uo
gave no word.
Kitchener grew grimmer and grim
mer. His soul must have had many
bitter hours as he contemplated these
intrusions upon the privacy in which
he had chosen to wrap himself. And,
naturally, he gained no love for Cur
ION. He, a soldier, scorned the life
which the ease-loving, snowy viceroy
led, and their paths drifted further
apart.
There is a native proverb, invented
apropos of the Curzon-Kitchener feud,
which declares "the viceroy is seen;
the commander-in chief sees.'
But, tho rumor has linked his name
with many maid and many a widow

makers, and is still, as was said of him

in which he won and the Curzons lost.

WORRY CAUSES WRINKLES

In some cases the cause Of a frown

disfgure the countenance can be traced
to the same source. The Japanese
women have smooth, unfurrowed faces
because they take lif9 easily. Instead
of littering up their Jhomes with brio
brac they depend on one choice flower
or picture to give the required beauty.
They do not run about whole day
shopping, and they are not always do

secret of sometimes being idle. If we
could learn not to fret, not to worry,
not to putter, to take life less siren
uously, to rest after work, to relax
limbs, muscles and expression, tagged
cheeks and hollow eyes would be kept
at distance for long time.
Above all, we must learn not to ex-
pend nerve force on petty cares. The
