Not Much Play About Hunting in
Scotland, Says "a DostOn Man.
THE Americans who think that En-
glish sport is play made easy have
something to learn" said John AIusoo
Little, who returned to Boston this
morning on the Saxonla after Il months
shooting in Scotland. Il know that the
notion prevails over here that the En-
gllsh go In for their sport in spirit
OF enjoyment while we are supposed to
make hard work Of It, That Is a pretty
dream. As a matter OF fact, the En-
glishman turns his sport into the hard
est kind of work. 1t may not be pro
fessionallsm, but their golf and their
hunting are undertaken in dead earn

Since early in September, when b.
went to Scotland for a vacation from
business, Mr.. Little, accompanied by
Mrs Little and his two daughters, hat
been in the Scottish highlands at Beau
fort castle, the country seat Of Lord
Lovatt, which had been leased for tho
shooting season by Mr.. Little's son-in
law, Charles w. Ogden Of New York.
says Boston Transcript.
THE Englishman who is stalking
deer in the highlands may think he is
having an easy time because he has
never been used to anything else, but
shooting in the Maine woods is a holt
day compared to the scramble up hill
and down after those Scottish deer. In
the course of days stalking you are
fairly sure to cover fifteen or twenty
miles, while even If you go out for
grouse, the tramp from cover to cover
| will take you ten miles before you know
It."
The economic condition OF Scotch
lands Mr.. Little found especially inter

the old country and this was furnished
by a servant in the castle which he was

The backward trimming continues to
flourish.
The shady, downward-tu brlm
still holds its own.
Handouts of strange, soft-falling
plumage are used in profusion in
adjoining the smartest models.
Flowers are a fayorite trimming, and
large buckles made of tinsel, galloon,
drawn silk and velvet are some of the
smartest touches.
Smooth and rough felt, 'ong haired
beaver hats bid fair to establish them
selves in favor for winter wear. yying
with them are largs hats of velvet, the
simpler ones trimmed with big bows
Of satin ribbon, the more decorative
ones with handsome feathers.
The little hat say the prophets, Is
going TO take on huge trimmings Such
models indeed, are already here and
answer the difficult problems for wo-
men past their youth. Some hats of
the kind come IN blocked felJs In small
mushroom shapes, lifted slightly from
the head and trimmed at the front
with big square bows centered with
big buckles. The hats are trig, OF
small expense, and 20 eXccllently with
plain tailormades. and they are be
coming to almost any one Jet and
bands embroidered in colorS are being
used extensively for the front brims
Of turbans worn by mquons for drcssy
occasions, and they are also employed
with excellent effect around high
crowns of velvet or felt shapes, The
jet and Oriental embroidered bands,
are worked on net with, in both cases,
a mixture of coarse floss embroidery.
The bands embroidered in color bright

Wnshday Helps.

In winter add large handful Of salt
to the rinse water, and the clothes will
not freeze while hanging them out.
When ready to go out, wet the hands
well with vinegar. Let 1t dry on, and
you will have no cold fingers.
To clean fabrics two good-sized po-
tatoes are grated into a pint OF water,
says the Womans Home Companion.
Then they are strained through a
coarse sieve into another vessel con-
tanning pint of clear water, and al
lowed to stand until thoroughly settled.
Tho clear solution is poured of and
used to sponge fine materials, which
are afterward washed with clean
water, dried and ironed.
After washing delicate white waists
apply boiled starch, and hang until
very dry. When ready to iron, wiring
cut in hot water and put through a
wringer They will not stick and will
look sheer and fine.
To wash pongee silk do not wiring 1t,
but let it drip dry. Iron with moder-
ately hot iron when very dry. Do not
sprinkle at all.

l find the most practical way to pre-
vent hot dishes from marking your din
ing room table is to get piece of table
oilcloth cut the size Of your table, either
round or square put under your pad,
and then your cloth on. And where
hot dish is placed on the table, you

have the oilcloth split through the cen
ter. and that way it can be slipped to
