MISS HELENE

MISS HELENE CARA0IANI.
From the beautiful and romantic
land of Carmen Sylvia m Miss
Helene Caragiani. a daring woman
aeronaut. who hopes ere she returns
home to win many trophies away from
the American aviators. with whom she
wishes to compete.
Miss Caragiani brings her own aero
plane with her and spends all her spare
time in practice. She believes that wo-
men make quite as skillful and daring
aviators as men. She herself has made
many notable ascensions abroad.
Speaking Of the possibilities Of cross
ing the Atlantic ocean in an airship,
Miss Caragiani said:
III men wait much longer some wo-
man will take the trip before them"
Miss Caragiani makes no secret Of
the fact that she would like to be the
woman to do 80.

farmers driving to the village two
miles beyond pulled their teams up
short at an unwonted sight. Abe and
his sister were digging with pick and
spade in a grove e the road. They
had evidently been at work since mid
night, for there yer several holes in
which a calf could have been buried.

nor his sister pretended to hear.

Abe and his sister must have got a
pinter and are digging fur 1t. Consarn

That peddler did his work well over
three counties. On the fifth day Of the
digging a widower came twenty miles
to look Cynthia over. He shook bis
head and backed of, but heard some
n whisper that the treasure amount
ed to 81, 900. 600 in gold. He therefore
drew a long breath. braced up and said
to Cynthia:
1T is love at first sight with me-"
But we may not find the money"
she replied.
ut is a wife to love me and no
money" he CALAMITY lied. And inside
Of four days they married.
It was the day after Cynthia's we'd

say:

Abe and Cynthia got their mates. all

For Those Who Use Lamps

Lamps should be filled every morn
ing. 1t is extremely dangerous to
allow lamp to stand all day half
filled and then light it at night, be-
cause the oil tends to generate a gas
If left long in partly empty lamp.
This is apt to explode when the
lamp is lighted
Again lamps should never be filled
to the top.
! When heated the oil expands, then
If the lamp is quite full the surplus
will, of course. run over. The proper
way is to fill the lamp with oil to
within half an inch of the top. Ii
the wick is soaked in good strong
vinegar it will give a clearer light
and never smoke. 1t is also an inn
provement to put a teaspoonful of
salt in the lamp with the oil. says an
exchange.
Few women need to be told the
wick should not be cut, but be wiped
off with rag, taking away all
charged portions.
When wicks become dirty boil in
vinegar. and when thoroughly dry
they will be as good as ever again.
Boil the burner once a month in
strong soda water.
Never fill a lamp that is burning
and always lower the flame before
carrying a lamp from place to place

New Outing Modes

Most of the skirts are narrow, but
button up the front. while the coats
for real hard travelling or outing wear
often have very wide belts around the
waist and broad bands around the
arm, with flap pockets on either side
of the basque. Wool eorduroys
trimmed with satin have a long sash
at the side and often take the place
of more expensive suit for not quite
such hard wear Many basques come
to the knee, and almost as many
cover the hips. while some shallow
jackets fasten with two buttons
Others have a form of basque repre-
scented by two tabs in front just be-
low broad waistband, favorite
style for serge, says the Washington
Sunday Star.
Some of the three quarter length
oyercoats are very full in the skirt.
For travelling the round cloak on golf
cape lines is good. Eponge is a good
fabric for travelling by water, and this
is very much worn with rounded
fronts to the coat
The all-around pleated basque is
used with .knockabout dresses for
hard travelling Many of the serge,
tweed, cheviot and check dresses have
no trimming at all, except rows of
buttons Some attractive suits are
made with slender skirts, coats with
tight-fitting sleeves to the wrist and
basques covering the hips, while 9TH
ers have a band at the back. the
fronts being cut short enough to give
the appearance of the back complete
ly dipping. Others are rounded up in
front until they are quite short.

Tenderfoot Harry

The same day Mr.. Reynolds.
wealthy ranchman came to town with
his beautiful daughter Grace. On
bearing of the "tenderfoot's" victory
the farmer wished to see him. When
Harry came forth he was introduced
to Mr. Reynolds and his daughter by
one of the cowboys. After many
DAYS of friendship between Harry
and Grace ii soon ripened into love.
On beholding this Mr., Reynolds
seemed satisfied to let ii continue,
as Harry's father was a very wealthy
banker When Harry proposed to
Grace she turned the matter over to
her father. He agreed to il at once,
and received a hearty congratulation
from Mr.. Reynolds on finding so good
girl. Harry also sent letter to his
father asking for his consent. Grace's
picture was inclosed i'm it. on be-
holding it he sent his consent back to
Harry the next day and also stated
that he might name any date for their
marriage.
TWO weeks after receiving permits
sion TO marry each other, Harry and
Grace were walking home after a
stroll to the village. Stealthily
sneaking up behind them was Peter
the Crook. Driving forth a glisten-
ing dagger, he stepped forward and
drove it. deep into Harry'S back
Harry fell without a gfoan All
this took place before the ranch.
Stepping forward, the crook grabbed
hold of Grace with the intention of
carrying her away and ransoming

Grace's screams attracted the at

tention of one of the hired hands,
and he, seing what was going on,
carried the news to Mr.. Reynolds.
Mr.. Reynolds soon gathered to-
gether some of his men and started
after the crook. On reaching the
scene of the tragedy he sent all HIS
men after the ransomer with the
exception of himself and another
cowboy who helped to carry back
the boys body. An hour later the
men arrived with Grace and the
crook The latter was bound hand
and foot. A few days later he was
hung to the tallest tree ON the
ranch.
Harry. though not dead, was Sc
riously injured. BY the skillful help
of his sweetheart he recovered rap
idly, and in four weeks he was as
sound as ever. Two days later the
couple were married in the presence
of Mr. Reynolds and Mr.. Sandford
a grand feast was prepared for the
cowboys, who enjoyed it immensely.
After that they each presented the
young couple a gift of some use. The
next day they started on their
honeymoon, and when they returned
they bought themselves a beautiful
house, situated in the heart of the
beautiful Catsllill mountains.

Much Tale Used in United States

The use of tale as q toilet accessory
Is increasing in this country. America
now leads the world in the production
of tale and soapstone. The cool and
soothing powder is made from tale,
which absorbs grease from silk and
other fabrics and bleaches cotton
cloth. The demand for this substance
is increasing steadily in the United
states. and the production has re-
sponded. The largest amount of tale
is used in the manufacture of paper
of many kinds. from roofing to writ
ing paper not simply to give it body
and weight, but to improve its quality
and to give it smooth finish. so that
it will receive printers ink, an ex-
change says.
The total output of tale in the
United States in 1918 was 1921 tons,
valued at s1,2SO,000, a gain of nearly
IL per cent. in quantity and more
than 16 per cent. in value, as COM
pared with that of 1912. New York
s not only the banner State in the
production of tale, but in 1913 it had
the largest output of it's history, ex-
eeeding by 10000 tons the largest
previous annual production.
With the exception of 952 tons pro
duced in California, the entire output
of tale in the United States comes
from a comparatively narrow belt OF
crystalline rocks running through the
United States from. New York to
Georgia. Vermont ranks next TO New
York in production. and Pennsylvania
is third, followed by North Carolina,
which produces both tale and prophy-
lite Virginia and Massachusetts.
New Jersey and Georgia are next in
the order of production.
These statements are based on a
report by j. S. Diller just issued by
the United States Geological Survey
as a part of Mineral Resources,
1913" The report gives special atten-
ton to the recently investigated tale
deposit of California, which is re-
markable for it's Wilderness. Like the
tale of New York that of Southern
California is in large measure de-
rived from tremolite schist associated
with limestone. but the indications of
present development do not justify
the belief that the California deposits
are as extensive either horizontally
or vertically as the deposits in New
York.
There are no exports or imports of
soapstone, but some tale is imported
from Canada, and a small amount is
