Hat Perfumjng.

One of the tricks of the Partisan
milliner is to perfume the chapeauX
for her special customers. The odor
from large hats laden with artificial
flowers, ribbons, etc, is often notice
able, especially before the hat has
been worn several days in the open
air. To conceal this the clever Pari-
sian milliner stiffens the ribbon bows
with wire wound with scented wool,
and sews tiny sachets no larger than
buttons at the base of bows and flow
ers. Large flowers often may have
the calyx removed and filled in with
a tiny bit of shirred silk or satin that
covers tiny sachet.
In this case. however, unless the
sachets or perfumes are renewed they
soon cease to be odorous, so the tin
lined hat box has been invented. In
one corner of this, fixed firmly so it
will not tumble about is a small per-
forated vinaigrette filled with strong
sweet powder, and the hats are hung
around it. In this way they absorb
enough scent to be perceptible for a
day, and the hat being returned to its
scented case at night absorbs fresh
supply for future giving out.
OF course the scent from the hats
is delicate, and is made to correspond
with the perfume the owner affects.

Marlborough Duchess is a Convert.

That the Duchess of Marlborough
has just Joined the English suffra-
gettes was an interesting item of in
formation Impaired yesterday by Mrs
Philip Snowden. Mrs. Snowden,
wife of a distinguished Member Of
Parliament, English suffragette, lee
turer before Yale, and other univer-
stiles, visited at the home of DR.. and
Mrs. Aked, No. 2. West Eighty-sixth
street, says the New York Tribune.
DR.. Aked, who is pastor of the Fifth
Avenue Church. which is John d.
Rockefeller's religious home, was a
former colleague of Mrs. Snowden in
the woman suffrage movement in
England
Mrs. Snowden is young and pass
ing fair, of the dainty pink and white
type of English beauty. She is not
of the most militant variety of the
suffragettes. She has never been in
jail or smashed window or chained
herself to park railing so the police
couldn't make her move along, but
she marched at the head of the first
monster procession in London, last
June, between Lady Frances Balfour,
sister-in-law of King Edwards sister,
on one side, and Mrs Henry Fawcett,
widow of Victoria's Cabinet minister,
on the other.
1--WE have hundreds of titled per-
sons who are members and contrib
utors to the movement" said She
"At one meeting alone, attended
mainly by the aristocracy. we took up
a collection of $50, 900. I don't know
what part the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough is going to take, because she

Mrs. Bertrand Russell, sister-in-law
of Countess Russell, who is also suf-
fragette. Mrs. Russell, who was for
merly Philadelphia girl, is a great
friend of the duchess
"Annie Kenney has brought more
fashionable women into the move
ment than anybody. Annie Kenney
is the little factory girl whom w. T.
Stead has called the Joan of Arc of
the movement. She started the whole
thing with a question to John Burns
at Albert Hall one night soon after
the Liberal Government, came in. Be-
fore an audience of eleven thousand
he was outlining what the Liberal
party proposed to do for the various
classes of men. Annie Kenney leaned
out of box and said, What are you
going to do for the women?' The
audience would have torn her in
pieces if 1t could have got at her. At
the same time Cristabel Pankhurst
was doing the same thing at a meet
ing in Manchester, and she was put
out of the hall with her clothes torn
half off her. The things that have
been done to the suffragettes by the
stewards of political meetings In
which they asked questions would not
be believed in America"

IL don't know" answered Will,
rather embarrassed "I saw where
she'd been"
"Yes, you did!" said Allen.
"Well. anyhow, here's picture Of
her tracks," insisted the boy. This
was an interesting announcement to
the customers, who wanted to know
how and when and where at once.
One of them said: "I've got the
best camera could buy, and 1 haven't
got a good picture with IL yet. I'd
give It for photograph of that pan
ther and her cub"
"To me?" asked VIII, who had seen
the camera while Allen was exam
lining 1t few days before.
"Yesl" the man said, with a laugh
"You fetch me the picture to my
Eagle Island camp, and I'll give you
the camera ON the spot"
Allen told VIII how to use flash
light powder, adding that the panther
would make few good meals of him.
But as 1t happened the fiash-light in
formation was not of value that trip.
At daylight the next morning VIII
was padding. up the lake again, a
fresh breeze behind him and six days
rations in his pack, besides three
dozen OF the best plates he could buy.
He intended to get some good woods
views at any rate, whether he saw the
panthers or not. Moreover, he had a
heavy revolver with a stock fastened
to it, BY noon he was at Ampersand
Pond camp. He knew the chances Of
ever seeing the animals we're thou
sand to one against him, and then the
chance was they would be in poor
light. But no matter, he would try.
He circled the pond that afternoon,
and finding no signs, he went over to

1t grew darker; the mountains cast
deeper shadows. Dusk settled down
relentlessly. Something cracked a
twig behind him-a veritable some
thing. VIII turned and fired with his
revolver-once. twice, three times.
The echoes died away. A minute
passed, then another. From the
ridge over which he had come came
the panther's cry; again, muffled,
from the hollow beyond; then, loud
and clear, from the foot of the noun
tain, farther away each time. At
last far away. just over the top of
Ampersand Mountain a farewell
scream.
A few rods farther on his trail was
Wills canvas boat. He carried 1t
from its hiding-place to the water of
Loon Bay, launched it, and padded
to a rock island, where he ate a good
meal by fire Then he started down
the lake, strong and vigorous once
more, singing songs that caused ISL
and camps to listen wondering.
On the next day, VIII developed
his plates one by one. Two or three
were blanks, but the panthers showed
up clear above the twigs and leaves.
He carried that plate, as soon as it
had died. to the Eagle Island camp.
and when he returned, the coveted
camera was his own.
Now with the old camera he plays;
with the new one he seeks on the
beechnut ridges for bears. AS for

from Saranac Lake, told me that he

Walking sticks That Arc Not.

According to the prevailing fash
ions in carrying canes, they represent
the fact that as walking sticks they
are not walking sticks at all A man
may carry his cane in any manner he
pleases except one, the old-fashioned
way OF touching 1t to the ground as
he walks along. He may--and this is
the most approved style-carry it
hooked over the bend of his left arm;
he may hook 1t onto a button on his
coat; he may hook 1t up behind his
upper left arm, with the point of it
sticking out in front of him as he
walks. But If he wishes to be the
real thing he must, under no pos
sible circumstances touch the ferrule
to the ground. New York Press.

White Lily Pond, half mile distant.
In the sand on it's shore was fresh
track of the old panther, but not of
the cub.
"If only l could find that little
one!" thought VIII, looking at the
rock-studded and tree-grown slope of
Ampersand Mountain. He returned
to camp then, and caught few trout
for supper. At dark he went to sleep,
tired out with all the days work he
had done. To tell the story of his
patient and systematic search for the
panthers lair during the next three
days and of the pictures he took is
not necessary. The fourth day had
its reward.
A cliff rises on the south end of
Ampersand, and is laved by a little
pond called Tear-Drop, because 1t is
on the face of the mountain. The
outlet of the pond flows down a
beaver meadow three rods wide and
thirty long. On each side is dense
tamarack swamp. The water is a
dozen feet across In the meadow" )"
but mere brook, inches wide, where
it leaves the open.
Hallway down the meadow a wide,
fiat rock raises its head to the level
of the grass tops. This rock is COW
cred with blueberry bushes eighteen
inches high. viii. who had never
seen the place before, arrived at the
upper end of the meadow about ten
O'Clock in the morning. He started
down the outlet to see how large a
stream was there. Near the rock he
noticed some drops of blood on the
grass blades and the tracks of a
plungiIg deer.
Huh" he thought. Somebody's
violating the law
A couple of rods away the animal
had fallen as the matted grass
showed. In the mud near by was
the imprint of a panther's spread-out
claws. A glance showed that the deer
had been dragged 10 the top of the
rock and covered with sticks and
grass.

on the deer. got out his extra plate

the shutter bulb in hand.

quitoes, black flies and punkles, each

The punkies felt like streaks of fire,

tar-oil with which he kept his face
and hands dripping, and so he bore
the discomfort. The bit OF log on
which he sat worked through the

to the mud in which the boys feet
