On the death OF her sister, Mrs. Mary
Croker Harrison, she Inherited nearly
100000, and now, from the estate Of her
uncle, George Croker, who died in New
York last month, she will inherit about
S,O$OO. This makes 100000 900 easily.
But added to that is the matter of the
increase, the British parliamentar-
ians are now, i'm the language Of Henry
George, calling the unearned increment ="
The unearned and the hard earned mere
ment of Miss Crocker's fortune is several
millions, fer the Crocker estate company
shrewdly invests its money where il will
earn dividends. and the properties II holds
in San Francisco and elsewhere are busy
multiplying III fortune OF the California
heiress.
So Miss Croker can afford to lose pearl
necklaces with impunity. Even If the
necklaces were not found on the following
day Miss Croker could lose 300 OF the
baubles to the value OF $4,000, jewels she
misplaced a few months ago and stil have

At the time Miss Berry had no thought
Of establishing a permanent school. In

crowded her cabin TO more than it's full

came to her with the request that a day
school be added.
For a time It looked as II the move

The women all vote In New Zealand,
and have done so for years, but they are
beautifully feminine, nevertheless, declares
a writer in Putnam's Magazine. They
have a home life hat is ideal and they
belong to it. 1t is seldom that a woman
speaks at a political meeting and when she
does it usually transpires that she is a
visiting American or English advocate.
They say they are too busy with domestic
affairs to care to hold public offices, but
no women IN the world are better informed
on political affairs. They do no end OF
political work among themselves, at cleo
ton time, in the way Of party teas to win
over doubtful votes. Every woman over

vote, whether native or white, and uses II,

work for one Young Woman.

There is no more exceptional educational
institution in America than the Berry
schoo, for mountain whites, near Rome
Ca, and yet the whole work grew out OF
a little Sunday school that Miss Martha
Berry established in the mountains near
Possum Trot, Ca, less than ten years ago.
At that time Miss Berry was residing on
an estate which, according to Human Life
was all that was left OF the fortune OF the
southern family to which she belonged. In
taking her walks She was impressed by the
deso.ate condition of the mountain children.

The Importance OF feminine headgear is
an old story in many lands, relates the
American Register OF London, but in none

The educational opportunities OF New
Zealand are not eXcelled anywhere, but
c-o-education, even in the high schools Is
not popular. The professions are open to
women and there are a lot of doctors ana

correct in saying that the women OF New

or today. and it will be seen that the in
crease of late years is considerable. The
feather hats of last season were sold for
enormous prices, some being as much as
$500, and none being under $50; the most
simple of morning hats run between $50
and $50, and an evening ~coiffure can quite
easily mount up to $40.
Yet it cannot be that material is so very
much dearer, for the same old record tells
us that broad satin ribbon cost from 3
cents to 10 cents a yard. white crepe 81,
and feathers varied between 81 and SEQ.
1t must be, therefore, that the work girls
are better paid than they were, and in this
case We can have nothing TO say; unfor-
tunately, however, higher wages always
create new wants, and there is the same
story OF poverty to be told all over again.

Women rs Winter Campers

Every winter more and more women are
going north to camp in the pine woods and
to hunt moose and deer during the snowy
season, reports the Duluth News.
This Is not SO much of a handicap as il
sounds In the first place the cold, al
though in some cases 30 degrees below
zero, is a dry cold, and therefore exhilara-
ting and not depressing; secondly, moose
and deer are far easier to track and over
take when the snow is on the ground, as
they cannot move so fast. Then, too,
camping in a log cabin is a much snugger
arrangement than in a tent. and there are
far worse things than eating hearty camp
cooking done over a roaring fire when the
snow Is so cold 1t sings under your feet and
appetites are of the keenest
Women will not mind the cold any more
than men il they dress properly for it and
right here let it be said that skirts are en-
tirely out OF place They are no protection
against cold wind or dampness. The
proper costume is one Of blanketing or
chamios. or even waterproof wool tweed.

knee or hip boots. These should be lined

coat lined with squirrel or opossum. or a

cold days. but the best thing is to wear a

Jacket or the suit. as a long fur coat is a
clumsy thing when hunting.
The woman camper should AXE plenty
of cold cream, but no other adjuncts to

at night over her vaseline-rubbed hands,
She win find a mans fur cap with ear
flaps the most comfortable for wear, and
she should remember that she is going into
the north woods for health and solid mans
sport and should dress accordingly and
take things as they come cheerfully and
