Senator Proctor is not only a sue
cesstul fisherman but can always tell a
good story, as every true fisherman
should. We are reminded OF one he
told at the Fish and Game league
meeting at Fort Frederic last summer
Congressman Capron OF Rhode Island
was one of the guests and had succeed
ed in spinning yarn that brought a
good laugh at the expense OF the Yer
mont senator.
Unfortunately for the Rhode Island
er, Senator Proctor had the last
chance. He SAID no sportsman worthy
of the name would tell fish story
that wasn't true. He happened to
know OF one true fish story in which
the visitor figured. He proceeded to
tell how in Rhode Island there were
two Fish and Game clubs. Congress-
man Capron belonged to one of them.
The record maintained by Capron's
club was the constant surprise aud
envy of the members of the other club.
The secret OF it was hot discovered
until recently. One day a neighbOr
came rushing into the Capron club
house and wanted to use the scales.
He said there was a new baby over at
his house and there was a controversy
over its weight. the nurse was sure
it was ten-pounuer. Capron hardly
wanted to loan the scales, but could
not well refuse, SO the baby was
weighed. And what do You think

scales RI smiled the senator "Well,

RUSSIAN WOMEN.

1t Is difficult for an American to I'M
derstand that freedom, as we know
1t, does not exist in Russia. There the
legal position of woman is far from
satisfactory. She hardly ever belongs
to herself, but is always under the tu'
telage of some one.
AS daughter the Russian woman is
under the entire control of her parents.
Her coming Of age does not alter her
position. She simply changes the au-
thorlty of her parents for the no less
rigid authority of her husband. AS
the Russian statute puts it: "One per.
son cannot reasonably be expected to
fully satisfy two such unlimited powers
as that of husband and parent"
The unlimited power of the parent is
withdrawn, and that of the husband
substituted. She cannot leave her lord
even to visit neighboring town, with.
out "pass" from him. He names the
time she is permitted to stay, and at
the end of that time she is bound to
return to get the pass renewed.
A husband may appear in a court OF
law as a witness against his wife, but
wife is not allowed to appear against
her husband. A woman's evidence In
Russia is always regarded as Of less
weight than that of man.

LINGERIE HAT LATEST FASHION.

Among the dozens Of lovely hats
which the season is offering, the lin
gerie model is among the most stun
ming and becoming of all. Its simple
ity and daintiness are exactly what
appeal to women, for it is nothing but
exquisite embroidery or lace, with
bit of ribbon or some dainty flowers
tucked snugly. away in a place where
it just gives the proper effect. They
are just suited to the dainty frocks
which the modists are turning out, and
no other hat could possibly give the
in colors to match the gown and some
are heavily laden with dainty flowers.
Ribbons also constitute much of the
decoration which they display.
The Charlotte Corday hat is very like
the lingerie model, both having ten
dency to flop over the face. There are
many women who cannot wear these
hats at all and these, of course, cannot
be in the height of fashion. They are
decidedly childish-looking, but give a
most piquant appearance to young and
pretty women. The large bow deftly
tied is sometimes the sole trimming and
they are placed directly in the middle
of the front. Black velvet Is the pret-
