No "Overexposure.

To the amateur photographer the
great bugaboo in his work Is arriving
at the proper exposure Of the plate.
With most of the snapshot cameras
now in use this is impossible. as they
are adjusted for an average exposure:
but the trouble Is experienced when
he comes to the point of making time
exposure. This trouble has been met
by an English manufacturing firm by
the addition of certain chemicals to the
sensitive emulsion Of the plate or film
which makes overexposure impossible.
This is particularly valuable in In.
side work, where the brilliantly II.

"Certainly, my DEAR" said Secretary

Knox at once, delighted at the idea
Of giving his wife woman's compan-
ionship on the voyage.
Sails Home the Pet of the Ship.
And so it happened that when the
American cruiser Maryland slipped
out from Honolulu harbor on October
5, flying the secretary Of states flag,
she had princess as well as a queen
on board. Two steamer chairs occu-
pied the place of honor on the quar-
terdeck and the gallant young naval
officer had two pairs of feet to wrap
up in steamer rugs.
On the bridge her father ruled, the
absolute monarch that a captain is at
sea- On the quarterback Mrs. Knox
reigned as queen, but shared her sway
with Miss Priscilla.
1t was sociable company that
gathered in the admirals cabin at
meals. At the head of the table sat
Mrs. Knox, charming every one by her
grace and tact. Opposite her sat the
secretary of state, genial man Of the
world diplomat and statesmtn. Then
there were Walter L. Fisher, secre-
tary of the interior; Rear Admiral
Alfred Reynolds; Hugh Knox, the sec,
retary's son; Ransford S. Miller, chief
of the far eastern division of the state
department, and, Of course. Captain
Ellicott himself. And the gallant
captains daughter" was the life of the
table.
But the finest of voyages must end
The Maryland dropped anchor in Sc
attic harbor, where Mrs. Ellicott was
waiting to welcome her husband and
daughter.
1t was a sad ships company that
gave a farewell salute to the girl who

to transfer her household goods to the
other side Of the world.
Captain Ellicott and the protected
cruiser Maryland were in Alaskan
waters last summer when the order
reached him to head for Seattle and
pick up the secretary Of the state,
Mrs. Knox and the rest Of the party
assigned by President Taft to rep.
resent the United States at the fun
eral Of the emperor of Japan. Miss
Priscilla was in Alaska also. Her
sister, the wife of Lieut.. Ross s.
Kingsbury Of the marine corps, was
living in Honolulu, her husband being
stationed there. Miss Priscilla de-
cided that this was an excellent OBJ
portunity to visit her sister, especial.
ly as this would enable her to greet
her father on his return from Japan.
Mrs. Knox Unties Red Tape.
Thus it came about that she was
there when the Maryland dropped an
Choir in Honolulu harbor, homeward
bound. Her mother was at Seattle. It
was natural that Miss Ellicott should
want to return home on the warship
her father commanded.
1t was therefore exasperating to find
rule, made by Secretary Of the Navy
William H. Hunt in 1881. that barred
her from her fathers ship. Some
young women would have cried bit
and taken the next Pacific liner for
home. But daughter of the navy
Is resourceful; she knows all about
red tape and how 1t Is tied and united.
Was not Mrs. Knox on board? Had
not Mrs. Knox been overjoyed after
weeks of no society but that of mel,
to welcome her and her sister on
board? Had they not become very
friendly, as women will when they are
far from home?
Saying nothing further to her "a
Their, Miss Priscilla spoke to Mrs
Knox about 1t. The wife Of the secre
tary OF state understood at once. Mrs
Knox knew also that the secretary's
word was law on the Maryland, as ht
was representing the president, ana
that no naval regulation could bt
raised against an order from him. Sht
knew, again, that Mr.. Knox woull
grant her any favor she might ask
So she told him she wanted TO TAKE
Miss Ellicott back to America as he,

Literary Bethrothal.

Inscriptions in complimentary copies
Of learned works do not always serve
the graceful purpose to which one
was dedicated by the celebrated Pro-
fessor Wilson of Edinburgh.
When the sutton for the hand Of
Professor Wilson's daughter had
gained the young woman's approba-
tion, she, of course, referred him to
her father. Having stated his case,
the young gentleman was asked to
bid the young lady to come to her
father. Her obedience was prompt.
Professor Wilson had before him
for review a ponderous volume, on
the fy-leaf of which was duly in
scribed, With the authors compli-
ments"
He tore this f1y-leaf out, pinned it
10 his daughters dress, solemnly led
her to the anxious lover-and went

Did she possess, after all, q latent
sense of motherhood, and was 1t stir.

did not know. Wal 1t not fear and

She paused in front Of the mirror, bus
the glass solved only externals. She
could not see her soul there In tho
reflection; she saw only the abundant
gifts Of nature, splendid. double-EanG-

that reflection, she forgot for a space
what she was seeking. But that child
From whom did she inherit her pa
culiar ideas Of life? From some Puri-
tan ancestor Of her fathers; certainly
not from her side. She had never
bothered her head about Fortune, save
to house and clothe her, till the past
f%orty-eight hours. And now It vas too
late to pick up the thread she had
cast aside as not worth considering.
To no n is given perfect wiedom;
and she recognized the flaw in hers
that had led her to ignore the mental
attitude Of the girl. She had not even
made a friend Of her; a mistake, a Bit
Of stupidity absolutely foreign to her
usual keenness. The child lacked
little Of being beautiful, and in three
or four years she would be. Mrs. CheG-
soye was without jealousy; she 40

well afford to be generous. Perhaps
the true cause of this disturbance lay
in the knowledge that there was m

nothing except wrinkles, and Fortune
was too young to know this fear. So
then, the mother slowly began to con-.
prehend the spirit which had given
life to this singular perturbation. For
tune had declared that she would run
away; and she had the courage I'd
carry out the threat.
Resolutely Mrs. Chedsoye rang for
her maid Celeste. Thoughts like these
only served to disturb the marble
s%moothness Of her forehead.
The two began to pack. That Is to
say, Celeste began; Nrs. Chedsoys
generally took charge OK these maneu-

officer in command. Bending was
likely to enlarge the vein in the neck:
and all those beautiful gowns would
