| The late Mrs. Isabella Bishop, whose
| travels in different parts of the world
| cured for her membership in the Royal
Geographical Society, visited America when
| she was a young woman. She was unused
| to travel and was alone when she had the
| following experience, which is told in
| Blackwoods Magazine:
| Once, in train going to New York, she
| was dreadfully tired, and yet she had
feeling that if she went to sleep the
sitting next her would pick her pocket She
| struggled for some time against her inclina
| ton to sleep, but having for a moment
given way, she awakened to feel the hand
of her neighbor gently Withdrawing her
| purse from her pocket.
In her purse, besides some money, which
was, comparatively speaking, of small mo-
| ment, was her baggage check. That was
| the only thing that really mattered. If she
| accused her neighbor of theft, nothing was
| simpler for him than to drop the purse out
| of the open window beside which he was
sitting. No; she determined she would leave
any interference until they arrived at their
| destination.
! She secured the services of a porter, and.
| with apparent calmness, followed her trav-
| cling companion down the platform. Hav-
| ing described her luggage to the porter, she
| at the critical moment bowed slightly to
| the pickpocket, and, with airy smile,
| said, This gentleman has my baggage
check" and he Immediately presented it
| to her.
| pretty way to freshen up worn white
China or India silk waists is to put in
| guimpe and full half sleeves of colored
lace. This lace, by the way, can be easily
| colored at home with any of the pre-
| pared dyes. One girl recently made an old
| white China silk waist over into a fetch
| ing evening waist by these means. She took
| some quite! dilapidated renaissance lace
| which had been on another gown Out of
| that she got enough for a guimpe and full
| half sleeves with the undersleeve effect

A few years ago, there was a sensat ional
| clamor about the dangers of automobile
travelling, but since that method of locomo-
/ ton has doubled and trebled, both in Europe
and in this country, and autos are operated
| extensively for purposes of business and
| pleasure, it Is no longer novelty to see
sixteen horse power machine making it's
| way through a crowded thoroughfare under
| the sole guidance of a woman.
| In fact the Importance of woman in the
| field has reached point where the man
| ufacturers are putting out vehicles with
| especial appointments to meet the demand
| of her fastidiouS taste. From the mono
| gram plate and the clock the fittings have
| extended to little pockets for veil, gloves
books, etc, a zinc7lned box for luncheon,
| and another box large enough for an extra
| hat should my lady be going a distance
| and wish to save her plumes from the raw
| ages of the wind during a brisk run. And
| all these things are concealed so neatly in
| the body of the machine that the uninitiated
| would never suspect their presence. These
| little conveniences increase the attractions
| of automobiling, which is becoming fad
| with a continually growing number of So
| ciety women.-Leslie's Weekly.

| The Japanese woman Is in many respects
like her western sister, though her methods
| of carrying out the same ideas may seem
to be SO different. For instance, while the
Japanese woman could not be induced to
tight lace her waist she binds up her loins
so tightly that she cannot walk, but must
just shuttle. Though her clothes, too, seem
to be free from ornament, and to be a
model of simplicity, she has her methods
of being ornamental, and even extravagant.
For instance, every time her hair Is taken
down two hours are spent in redressing it,
and nothing would induce her to go to a
picnic or to the theater without popping
into the sleeve of her kimono her little
| dressing case made of scarlet brocade,
which contains her steel mirror and dimin-
utive boxes of lip salve, face powder and
