TO PHOTOGRAPH SEAL HUNTING

Harry Whitney, the sportsman who
wintered with the most northern Es-
quimaux that he might go ahunting
into the musk-ox country and then re-
turned on board the steamer Roose-
welt when Commodore Peary came
back from his successful trip in quest
of the pole, sailed from here the other
day on a sealing trip with Capt. hob
ert A. Bartlett.
Mr., Whitney carried with him a
motion-picture apparatus with which
he expects to get photographs OF
scenes connected with seal hunting.
As far as known no one has ever un-
dertaken this feat. Captain Bartlett,
who commanded the Roosevelt, has
managed many successful sealing
trips to the north
Mr.. Whitney said of his plans on

QUEEN MARY STARTS A CULT

Owing to the incentive of Queen
Mary, who is devotee of the needle,
the cult of stitchery prevails in so
ciety to an amazing extent. Every
other woman one meets is talking OF
needlework and the craft of the
needle; it is a sort Of obsession. The
mysteries of satin stitch, padded and
otherwise, of crewel work, braid
work, COUGHING, herringbone, button
hole and French knots are discussed
by everybody. When Queen Mary
came back from india and the Dur
bar she found society as keen on
needlework as it used to be on bridge.
One of the cleverest needleworkers
is Lady Glenconner (sister-in-law Of
Mrs. Asquith), who makes her own
designs and has original ideas for
decoration. She is fond of big, bold
patterns in vivid colors and has
worked many bedspreads and cover
let's in William Morris patterns.

work at Wilsford Manor, Salisbury, on

WOMAN WHO AIDS RUSS GIRLS

Anna Maria Krapidinsh, special
agent of the Russian government
from Warsaw, Russian Poland. left
Chicago the other day after gathering
statistics through the medium of the
Immigrants Protective league and
the Juvenile Protective association.
She was detailed to investigate the
conditions under which immigrant
girls, are cared for by the United
States authorities after their arrival
at Ellis Island.
She has clear conception Of the
necessities of the situation. A yearly
average of 1900 immigrant girls rout-
ed out of New York for western
points, most of them travelling via
Chicago, are lost en- route.
