A Distinguished Friend.

During a visit through Maine last
summer, we came upon a tiny hamlet
that lay off from the beaten track. 1t
consisted merely of a handful of the
humblest shelters, but in driving
through it our attention was caught by
the meager front yard of one of these
houses, which doomed with a profu-
sion of beautiful, costly flowers. The
sharp contrast between the plants and
their surroundings SO piqued our curios-
lty that we stopped our carriage and
went up the little path on the pretext
of asking for a drink of water. In
the midst of her flower beds sat a hum
BILE little DC wolna whose childlike ip-
norance was made all the more touch
ing by the crutch that lay on the
ground beside her.
Her flowers were her one great pride.
and she was only TOO glad of a chance
to talk about them. She explained that
a fine lady who came that way nearly
every summer had given them to her.
She keeps sendin me new roots
every little WHILE" she added with
pride. And she gave Dave Lummis'
widow a new churn cause her old one
gave her a stitch in the side Then
she looked up eagerly. "Per'aps vo1,
know her" she suggested. Shes a
singing woman who says She was
brought up in New England herself
when she was a girl"
1t was Nordica. who is as generously
sincere i'll her gifts to some opscnre old
woman as when she plans an Amer.
lear institute of music.

II will tell you-though you will hate
me afterward, or preach at me. All you
good women either loath or preach at we
women who are not good"
Sister Helen did not answer, but her
gray eyes met the defant blue ones that
glared at her from the pillow, with such
tenderness in their depths, hat a look Of
shame crossed the patients face.
u believe you are really good" she said,
more quietly; perhaps you can forgive
sinners. But I will tell you the truth.
Long ago-I think have lost count now
of how long it was-I lived on a farm away
in Surrey. / had always lived in that VIII
lage, and everybody said l was a lucky
girl when Godfrey Dangerield, of Manly
farm. asked me to be his wife. l wasn't
sure about my own NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
| was a fool" She spoke vehementiy. II
had read q lot of silly trash about the life
of a town, and the gay times folks had in
London, and l thought l was buried there
in the country, and that II l married God
frey l should be doing him an honor and
sacrificing my own chance of seeing some
thing of what l called life. Oh. I was a
fool-a fool-a fool. Well, l married God
frey: l thought after all it would be nice
to be the mistress of Manly farm, and
raised above my old %neighbors and friends
and it was very pleasant to be made
much of, as Godfrey made much OF me.

CORRECT WINE TEMPERATURES
Expert Opinion on the Art Of Servinu
Varioue V%intaoes.

The fine art of serving wine and the
numerous points to bear in mind in or
der that the full enjoyment OF choice
vintaEes may not be diminished, was
the subject of a lecture recently deliv-
cred before the Walters club OF
Vienna by Anton Sirowy, a professional
expert in wines.
All wines, he said, possess different
temperaments n have to be humored.
The full bodied Austrian wines could
not be treated like the alcoholic Hun
garian. the aromatic flemish or the
smooth. strong French products.
OF first Importance was the tempera-
ture. Wine served too hot or too cold
lost its bouquet and its flavor. Rhine
Mosel wines were best at a tenn
pe%rature OF about 43 to 50 degrees. Bur
gundy is at its best at 81 degrees. All
heavier wine should be at a
ture of Ga to IS degrees.
The lecturer dwelt on the delicate
handling due to wines that deposit a
sediment. This characteristic of the
Rhine and Mosel grape. he said, was
the cause Of the traditional use OF
tinted glasses with these wines as any
slight cloudiness that might occur de-
spite the waters care was thus con-
cealed.

WOMAN ARTIST AMID THE ICE
Nine. eobers, of Stockholm, Has a
Studio on q Lonely island.
From the New York Sun.

Perhaps the loneliest artists tudio in
the world is that which a woman, Nine.
Anna Boberg, has had built for her
self on a lonely island called Farven,
lying off the Norwegian oaSt and with
in the winter ice belt. She has chosen
the spot not as a summer resort alone.
This year she is spending the winter
! there.
Nine. Boberg is a Swede and her
home is in Stockholm. She has been
engaged in art work for about four
teen years, having started by making
designs for tapestry and graduating
into water color painting.
She Is the wife of an architect and
her love for the Arctic wilds dates back
several years to q pleasure trip which
they made together to the northerly
part of the Scandinavian peninsula.
She was so delighted with the wonder
full coloring of the Arctic seas and skies
and the marvellous play of light on ice
and snowfeld that she determined to
make a speciality of painting Arctic
land n water pieces.
The island which she has chosen is
reached only by sailboat in open wealth
er. She spends long periods on it with
no companion but a man servant from
one of the larger Islands near by. The
studio Is situated on the summit Of a
craig overlooking the sea, but she
spends a comparatively small part of
her time in it. Most OF the time she
devotes to excursions in search Of the
p' Clad in a dresssof reindeer skins and
carrying her painting kit on her back
she makes her way over snow and ice
to distant points, sometimes being over
taken by night, when h sleeps in de-
serted f1shernen's huts or dugouts in
the snow, living on dried fish, sea birds
eggs and black coffee, for which she al
a carries the materials.
When the snow is deep she travels on
skis, and she has invented q sail which
she spreads when the wind is favorable
and allows herself to be blown along
oyer the slippery wastes. Her trips are
not without danger.
More than once she has beer in dan
ger of losing her way, and she has had
had falls. Once she slipped through an
unexpected gap in the ice into the wa
ter, several feet below. Fortunately 1t
was in g. shallow inlet and the tide was
at ehb so that she was able to stand
on the bottom n hoist herself back
on the ice. Her reindeer costume, of
curse. saved her from freezing to
death after her wetting.

On the trip she bagged the two elk,
for her to travel several miles
over rough trails n a long distance
up the side of the mountain, the dis
lance proving too great and hazardous
for the majority of the male members
Of the party. She succeeded In maxi
ing the kill, and. while she did not get
the biggest head of the season, she did
get the biggest head that any woman
has ever shot in that part of the coun-
try. The smaller elk was shot by her
after all the other members had aban-
doned hope for the day and returned
to the camp. The other elk head was
shot by Mrs. Rupernahn, of Butte,
Mont, n of the best women shots in
the west.
