WOMAN A GREAT L1NGU1ST.

The record of being the worlds
greatest all-round linguist is claim
ed by Miss Mary E. S. Cotton, a
resident of Easthampton, Mass. She
can speak and read forty foreign
languages.
Prior to her appearance in the field
as a candidate for linguistic honors.
the record for the greatest number
of languages spoken by any one per-
son was thirty-three.
Miss Cotton has mastered some OF
the most difficult tongues in the
world Among these are Chinese,
Pail, Avestan, Sanscrit, Hebrew, Sy-
rian, Assyrian. Arabic and Persian.
She also speaks and reads Latin,
Greek and all the modern European
languages.
She studied languages at Yale and
at Radcliffe. and latterly went into
the Far East to add to her familiar
ity with its tongues. Recently she
was in the mountains Of Afghanis-
tan, where the first articulate speech
is supposed to have developed and
where Sanscrit is believed to have
originated and become the mother OF

SELECT SUITABLE FABRICS.

SELECT SUITABLE FABRICS.
The proportions of the wearer must
always be taken into consideration
when deciding upon model.
For simple house frocks batiste
and challis are desirable materials.
The former comes in plain and shad-
ow check weaves in variety of
shades, the challis showing most de-
lightful prinlings.
Mohair and serge are so staple
that a passing mention is az that
is necessary These fabrics never go
out of fashion and are worn more or
less every season. In these white,
cream, navy blue and gray are the
preferred colerings.
In cotton yoiles the possibilities
in price and styles for making are
almost endless. For instance, charm
ing neel;gcs may be made from TINS
goods at So cents yard, and for
this sum one can get very pretty
checks or stripes, as we'll as the
plain goods
Wolfe and eolienne will develop in
to cool, smart frocks for evening
wear.
Crepe a,batross and crepe de PARIS
are smart equally attractive materl-
ais for this purpose.
AS to dimities and organizes, they
were never prettier than they are
now, but it must not be fogotten
that the soft goods without dress
ing are more fashionable than the
crisper, sitter fabrics.

Bordered ginghams are preferred to
other effects and smart frocks for

variety.
