To the other favorable crop pros
poets must be added the prediction
that cotton is likely to show the
largest yield on record. There is gen.
eral agreement by experts as to the
outlook for big supply, the estimates
placing the figures between $4,000, 900
and 100000 bales. Should the latter
total be touched a new high water
mark" will be reached. The great cot
ton crops heretofore were 1860
bales in 1905. 13.55O,OOO bales in 1907
and 13,S2S, S46 bales in 1909. Notwith-
standing reports of ravages by the
boil weevil and of attempts at re-
stricting the output cotton appears to
be on the gain--and America furnishes
the chief supply for the world.

HOW ESKIMO HUNTS WALRUS

came true.

In his frail skinboat it is a difficult
and dangerous task for the Eskimo to
go out to sea 40 to so miles and in
tercept the walrus as he passes on his
migration into the Arctic.
One carcass will fill his boat, for 1t
weighs from 1000 to 5000 pounds.
He hunts the walrus when they are
lying asleep on the ice foes in herds
from ten to several hundred. Death
must be instantaneous, else with
few rolls or the peculiar numbering,
humping movements (seen of the seal
when ashore), he makes the few feet
to the water and then is lost, as he
has not sufficient blubber and air to
float He has much natural curiosity,
and if not scared by shots will come
up close to your boat or the ice foe
on which you are sitting, squirting,
snoring and rolling his eyes; with
his cleaning tusks and bristling snout
he has an uncanny, goblin-monster-
like appearance. A herd of so or so
of them will come up en- masse, raise
high out of the water to stare at you,
then snort, squirt and disappear again,
only to come up on the same spot and
repeat the maneuyer Indefinitely. Ia
king advantage of this, the Eskimos
hide behind ice hummocks and throw
a harpoon into one, then snub the
tough rawhide line around an ice cake.
He must perforce come up to blow
and he is then killed with the rifle.
The thick skin and the mass of blub-
Der and meat beneath render him al
most invulnerable.

a stockina Preeaution.

When persons with delicate skins
wear colored stockings it is a wise
precaution to wash them out in seald-
ing water before wearing.
The dye in some stockings contains
a poisonous element that irritates
many skins. This is especially true of
cheap stockings of the highly colored
Chantecler tones in favor with white
shoes.
Before running the stockings under
the boiling water it is well to set the
color with strong salt water
1t is said that silk stockings last
much longer If they are washed before
wearing.

A DAINTY bit of embroidery to pick
"a up at odd moments is little
white apron for sewing, chahng
dish, or afternoon tea wear. These are
not meant for real utility, these Wlsps
of lace and muslin-they are merely
delightfully."- feminine little creations
which women like to don, especially
when they stir things up with spoon
in the popular chatting dish. Then, too,
they do protect the gown a little, espe-
cially a light summary one.
The apron must above all else be
the last word in fineness and exquis-
tie daintiness-eVen though very
simple the materials must be fine.
Hand embroidered aprons are the
prettiest models in the whole apron
family, and any girl or woman who
knows how to embroider should lose
no time in adding one of these at
tractive trifles to her summer outfit,
or make one or two for the coming
winter.
The apron sketched is a becoming
shape, and easily made. The three
panels are joined by strips of lace and
edged with a frill of valenciennes.
The belt is of fine lace beading
through which a blue or pink satin
ribbon is run. which forms the strings
to tie the apron.

Something is always happening TO
Mrs. GOuraud. and when it is not, she
makes il happen. few months ago
this newspaper published an article
about Mrs. Gouraud, and gave one OF
the stories that she has been writing
for her book, Moon Madness" a
book which is largely and frankly
biographical. Since that time many
things have happened to Mrs. Gou-
raud.
She was the guest of honor at a fete
in which she took the part of Ma

fought over her-nOt a hint of which
has crept into the newspapers. and she
has produced her book, 'Moon-Mad-

Through the courtesy Of its publish
ers. one Of its most striking stories,
The Dance OF the Cobra" is herewith

that Mrs. Gouraud herself is the
dancer, because the dancer is dead,

fact, she says herself that she has,
and is glad of it. All Mrs. GOuraud's
husbands being dead now, there is no
one to feel jealous about these reve-
