The longest swim of this graceful
naiad was made early last summer,
when she distanced seven men GEM
pettorS in race from Charleston
bridge To Boston light.
The young woman made the swim
fifty minutes and thirty seconds, in
water so cold that it benumbed her
rivals.
The exploits of this daring girl demon
Strate to a striking degree the progress
which feminine athletes have made in
the natatoral art. Think OF il, strip

Webb did when he covered the same
course under similar conditions.
An amusing incident is told by re-
porter sent by enc of the big New York
daiiies TO cover the story of Rose swim
from the Yacht Club 10 Coney Island.
There was great crowd about the
pier said the reporter. land [ was

a little girl wearing light summer dress
that reached. net below her knees, at any

and she made little progress. AS | passed

policeman and getting Miss Pitinon
through that crowd.
4 striking feature of Miss Pfinons
work is that it does not seem TO tire her
in the least.
At the conclusion of the swim from the
Yacht Club to coney Island she leaped
from the surf on to the sands as lightly
child at play. Not once did she
stop her steady forward stroke except
when midway to her journeys end, when
she rolled over on her back and drank
milk from bottle like an infant.
When Miss Ptinoff swims il is with
the long breast stroke. which is. I'm her
case at least. the acme of agile grace.
There is power i'm her stroke. but power
held we'll i'm reserve. She does not ter
inmate her strokes with useless flourish
es. Her legs move but slightly and n
times a casual observer would declare
that she did not move them al all.
There is probably not man in New
York prouder than William j. Curran o.
the Coney Island life saving station. un-
less perhaps 1t may be Miss Pitinoffs
father.
Curran trained Miss Pitinoff. All tn"
little girl knows about the water she
learned from the guard. When littl =
girl of five she was taken TO teney.' TIL
guard observed the ohild's love of the
water and encouraged ii by taking lie
out on his shoulder. In very fe0
weeks she had mastered the stroke and
had begun 10 swim.
Since then Curran has taken great
pride i'm his pupil. He has taught he
all he knows of the art of swimming. II ?

of France by divine right. In support OF
his claim he advances the Will of the
Comte de Chambourd, and the renuncia-
ton ofstheir rights to the French crown
made for the Spanish branch of the
house of Bourbon by Louis XIV, when
his grandson, Philippe, the first of the
Spanish Bourbons. was elected king OF
Spain. He forgets that if it exists, divine
right is thing no man. king or COM
moner can tamper with or alter Divine
right, however is a Shaky foundation
for a prince of the house of Orleans to
build on. The Comte de Paris, father OF
the present Orleans pretenaer. was sepa-
rated by sixteen degrees from the mousse
of France. Between his claims and the
French crown there stood a crowd of
Bourbon princes of Spain. of the two
Siclies and Of Parma. whose names are
known only to those VINO study the Al
manac de Gotha.
AS far AS the doctrine of divine right
goes the head of the house of Bourbon,
heir to the throne of France is Don
Jaime de Bourbon. son OF Don carlos,
the Spanish pretender, who died in July.
1905. Don Jaime has fair record. IN
his fathers time, Spain was deiuged with
blood in efforts to place Don Carlos on
the throne but that pretendef did not
shine a warrior. He preferred Nehe-
tan PALACES to battlefields, and listened
gladly to papal advice which counseled
inertia. The position OF heir to a pretend
er who gave no aid to his adherents was
a difficult one. but in it Don Jaime held
himself well His attitude toward bis
father was admirable. Among the PEE
tenders he stands out as one holding
fixed political opinions, not following
changeful policy of eXpediency. These
opinions, which have long been known, IN
cline toward liberalism. During his
fathers lifetime he declined to mix IN
politics Illustrative OF his attitude and
his mentality, he. too. has his story of a
statue lie has often Travelled as a private
person in Spain. On one occasion, an
ardent svnlpathizer of his family walking
in Valencia with him pointed 20 the
static of the great Don Carlos and ad-
iured him to initiate his namesake. Don
Jaime who abhorS theatrcals, gaZed
calmly on the statue. left his hat I'M
touched upon his head. and answered
ne had 10 need to initiate any kin" while
his father lived.

Men with their primitive instincts
still strongly active enjoy "roughing
it, in the woods, cooking their meal
in savage fashion over a blazing
wood fire. 1t is pleasant to so back
to nature for change, but no civil
lied man nowadays wants all his
cooking done on a camp fire.
Neither does he want to be hew.
er OF wood, nor carrier of coal, nor
a sitter Of ashes.
He wants all the comforts of civil.
ization including a wife whose TEN.
per has not been lost by exposure to
the fierce heat of wood stove or a

Good cooking is essential to right
living, but until the advent of gas
it meant q heavy outlay OF energy.
The close OF the nineteenth century
saw the great development of gas

wasteful and wearisome cooking with
