Of Interest to Women

obtains, and quite a noted botanist
said that the best dress that a woman
could wear when botainizing was
sort of material like bed ticking,
only without the stripes" He meant
denim, which in certain colors makes
up very attractively for this purpose
and which cannot tear or catch upon
briers. When one sees fiuttering rags
from the fronts of erstwhile charming
summer gowns flounting from the
barbwire fences and bonnie brier
bushes one realizes the advantages of
gown which cannot be torn.
In the town of Dessau a school for
the purpose of training girls in chem
istry connected with the sugar-refin-
ing industry was opened some time
ago and has answered so we'll that
similar training schools connected
with soap factories, paper works and
other industries requiring thorough
laboratory training are now being or
gained. The young women in aues-
ton are all girls of the better station
in life and all who entered as original
pupils of the first school have passed
their recent examinations SO salts
factorily as to have found posts at
once.
One Of the oldestof royal hobbies
Is that followed by Queen Maud of
Denmark, who for years has made w.
ory her hobby. Not only has she
fine collection of ivory statues and
other art objects, but she collects
ivory in the tusks as we'll, and has a
large collection of trophies of the
elephant chase, many of which were
sent to her by her brother, the pres
ent prince of Wales, who has doubt
less added to the collection during
hus trip through India. Most of these
are supplied with tiny gold plates,
telling where and under what cir
cumstances the animal fro mwhich
the tusk was taken was killed.

whip, to make her believe that her
choice is suspicious.
A young Engliswoman, Miss Lit
tlewood, who is a trained nurse, ac-
complished a remarkable feat in
swimming short time ago. The &C.
casfon was long distance swim by
the members of woman's swimming
club. Miss Little wood covered SIX
teen miles and spent eleven hours IN
the water.
The skin of men and women of
some nations, particularly in the hot
countries, is much thicker than that
OF others. The Central African negro
has a skin about hall as thick again
as that of European. That Of a
negro is thickest over the head and
back. presumably to form protection
from the sun.

A clever hostess delighted her
