The Most Beautiful Woman
BY A v BERESFORD

- NE evening at a theater Lori
Blarneyston. chatting with an
~ American friend who was
spending q great deal of time
and money On his lordship. seeing Mrs.
Harkawey in of the boxes, asked
who she was, and when told said:
shes the most beautiful woman I've
seen in New York. and there's no wom-
an in England who can compare with
Ler.'
Such a remark made by a member
OF the London smart set was bound to
be repeated from mouth to mouth. In
a twinkling it permeated the social
circle. the members of which were at
once agog to see a woman whom Lord
Blarneyston pronounced more beauti-
full than any woman in England. The
first Sunday after the encomium had
spread In society the church where
Mrs. Harkaway w%orshiped was over
flowing with strangers who went there
to see her.
OF course his lordship's remark reach
ed Mrs. Harkaway. 1t vas her husband
who told her. and he was proud to be
the husband Of the most beautiful wo-
man in New York or London.
Mrs. Harkaway belonged to that
class Of New Workers who years agone
We're social leaders. but who now oc-
cupy back seats, the front seats being
taken up by the commercial multimil-
liOnaire aristOcracy of America. Why
not use Lord Bl,rneyston's encomium
to regain the position occupied by her
ancestors? True. the ancestors Of pres
ent day leaders had some of them sold
meat and vegetables to Mrs. Harka-
ways forefathers. to say nothing Of
one who had cooked the said meat and
vegetables in her grandfather's kitch-
en-. But times were changed. Present
day ~aristocrats had assumed the lead
ership by virtue Of their enormous
wealth, and it was impossible to dis
lodge them. Possibly they would take
in a woman whom an English peer had
pronounced the most beautiful In New
York or London.
After a consultation between Mr.. and
Mrs. Harkaway it was decided by the
husband that the wife's chance for So
cial prominence should be made avail
able. Certain relatives of Mrs. Hark-
away who had married into multi
millionaire families were found to In
troduce her, and she was launched into
society simply on the fact that Lord
Blarneyston in order to compliment the
city of the man who was dining and
winning him had said that she was the
most beautiful woman in New York or
London.
The H~arkaways had misgivings
about entering the golden circle on a
beggarly income of $4,000. They fig
ured, however, that Mrs. Harkaway's
beauty, certified to by a British peer,
would be considered 4 quid pro quo
for what they would receive and that

THE HOUSEWIVES BATTLE.
The Burning Fly One Of the oeadliest
of Insects.

This is the time to begin your war
fare upon the fly and precautions taken
now are worth all sorts Of proven
tives later on. Every fly that you see
buzzing through your rooms and allow
to live may breed millions, each one of
which may in turn breed millions more.
Very often a housewife will not take
the bother to chase a single fly, where
as IL ner rooms were filed with any
number of them she would start a
clearance at once. II she could only
realize that the numbers would never
be there IL she killed the single n
perhaps she would exert herself more
at the first glimpse Of the dreaded pest.
The spring Of the year is the breed
Ing time for flies. In another month,
for every single fy that you allow to
live today you will find hundreds Of
thousands. Let that sink INTO your
mind thoroughly. That first fly you
just saw buzzing about in the sunshine
look through and beyond that single
fly and see its thousands and thousands
of progeny. Don't you think you will
save time and trouble later on by kill
ing that single fly now?
Swat the fly! Let this be your slo-
gan If you wish to keep your house
hold free Of sickness and disease this
summer. Teach your children to swat
them too. They will do 1t gladly if you
will just arm them each with a weapon
which looks very much like a minia-
ture tennis racket made out of flexible
wire. and turn them loose In the rooms.
They will make a game Of 1t and will
clear up all the flies In sight.

AN INCIDENT OF WAR.
General Hugo and His Meeting With a
Wounded Moor.

WOuHuto mOOTs
General Hugo. father of that literary
genius, Victor Hugo, was a daring SOL
dier and officer. He served brilliantly
in both Italy and Spain and especially
distinguished himself in putting down
bandits and guerrillas. That he was q
man as magnanimous as he was brave
Is attested by a little incident of his
career that his son narrated. General
Hugo, accompanied by a single trusted
hussar orderly, had occasion, at the
close Of a day of fighting, to ride across
a portion of the battlefield as dusk was
beginning to fall.
HE heard a feeble sound in the shad-
ows." wrote Victor Hugo. 1T was a
soldier Of the Spanish army. who drag
ged himself along the roadway, pale,
bleeding, gasping and who cried, "A
drink, a drink, in the name of pity!
"My father, touched, handed his can
teen to his faithful hussar, and said.
Here. give a drink to that poor, wound.
ed fellow Suddenly, as the hussar,
STOPPING, leaned owe him. the man. a
Moor of some sort, snatched the pistol
he carried and fired it at my fathers
head, crying, 'Caramba! The bullet
passed so close that the hat fell. and
the charger reared wildly backward.

Whv It's Called Picnic,

The term picnic" originated in the
following When what is now
known as a picnic was being arranged
for the custom originally was that those
who intended to be present should sup
ply the eatables and drinkables. A list
of these necessities having been drawn
up, it was passed round. and each per-
son picked out the article Of food or
drink that he or she VAS willing to
furnish. and the name of the article
was ''nicked." or licked. Off the list.
The open air entertainment thus be-
came known as "pick and nick" The
custom is said to date from 1902.

SOME CLEANING HINTS.
How to Wash the washable" Gloves
Successfully.

oucceSsruliy.
Every one is wearing washable gloves
nowadays. but not every one knows
how to wash them successfully. The
chamois skin and washable kid are apt
to dry very stiff and hard. and the
wearer often has difficulty in working
them on the hands after washing.
These kid or doeskin gloves should be
well washed as usual In soap and
warm water, but instead of rinsing in
clear water n basin of thick soda
should be made and the gloves satu-
rated in the suds, then wrung out
without putting in clear water and
hung up to dry. The suds have a sof-
tening effect on the skin of the glove,
and when dry it will be found that the
gloves are quite soft.
The cotton gloves are, of course. to
be washed, just like any other cotton
article, in hot water and soap and then
well rinsed In clear water.
You will find that your silk stock
ings will not begin to show holes near
ly so quickly If you wash them before
wearing them at all.
To clean chiffon wells, waists or I'M
derwear dip the articles up and down
In a pan of gasoline. Chiffon should
never be rubbed or wrung out, as the
weave is so very sheer that a thread
pulled may make a hole. Dip the chif-
fon article up and down until the gas
oline Is quite dirty, then pour out n
clean basinful. (The dirty gasoline
may be kept for cleaning tubs and
enameled woodwork.) When the gaso-
line no longer becomes soiled by the
chiffon article take the goods and wave
it up and down, but do not wiring, until
it no longer spatters drops of gasoline.
Then hang it up in the sunlight for
several hours before ironing. Chiffon
should lie ironed with a lukewarm iron,
for a very hot iron will burn the deli
cate texture.

NEW NIGHT ROBES.
These Exquisite Garments Are Devel-
oped Now of Satin.

The newest type of night robe Is de-
veloped in an exquisite tone OF saffron
satin and is made without any sleeves
and without trimming other than little
%crossover pieces of the fabric brought
around the shoulders in fichu sugges-
ton and tied In front. The neck Is
round In the back and inclines to a
deep oval in front. The garment falls
quite to the floor in graceful lines
that introduce a little more width than
was the fashion a few months ago.
1t may be stated, in passing. that the
nightgown of three-quarter length or
even Of ankle length has not taken
any great hold on feminine fancy. The
feeling seems TO be that, no matter
what fashion may say regarding the
length of street suits and dresses, the
correct length for the robe de mutt
should not permit it to escape the
floor. Some of the newest models show
a fiounce of lace or a beaded hem,
which gives a very pretty feminine fin
ish.

SUBMERGED SUBMARINES.
Signs by Which They May De Located
From an Aeroplane.


In answer to a correspondent who
asks to what extent a man in an aero
plane can watch the movements of 4
submerged submarine boat the Scien-
tific American replies:
I'VE have consulted a naval aero
nautic expert on the visibility of SUBJ
marines from an %aeroplane. He states
that If the surface of the water il
smooth and the water is fairly clear
a submarine can ordinarily be observed
usually from an aeroplane at any
depth the submarine is likely to travel.
which is usually not Over 100 feet.
Experiments have been made at Guam
tanamo, Cuba, and Annapolis, Nd, and
in the latter case the submarines were
able to avoid observation at first by
sinking to a muddy bottom. But the
aviators sOon learned to pick them out
by some sign, such, for example, as es-
cape of air bubbles"
In another article on the subject tho
Scientific American says that when the
sea Is rough it is much more difficult
to discern a submarine. The captain
of a warship can watch the course of a
submarine by the bubbles it sends to
the surface when the sea is smooth,
but these bubbles are scarcely discern
ible when the sea is choppy. The dis.
turbed surface inevitably makes it more
plane to see what is going on below.

DRINKING WATER FOR SCOUTS.
Safeguards Which Should Be Adopted
by Boys In Camp.

W Soyo ~ SN''Fs
There Is a common belief that clear
water is pure water. Boy scouts who
are going out camping during the pre-
sent summer should be very careful
over their drinking supply.
While water which looks dirty is
sometimes harmless peat colors water
considerably, but does not harm it to
any great extent, danger may exist
although the water is sparkling and
clear. 8
AS 1t is often impossible to carry a
filter, scouts should always bear In
mind that a very simple and effective
safeguard is to boil the liquid for from
3 to 10 minutes before using it for
drinking purposes.

Motive For Extension Of Religion.

Motive For Extension Of Religion.
Of a religion is not ones convictions"
says the Christian Register Unitarian
of Boston. "but ones instinct of help
fulness. 1t is less allied to arguing
people into agreement with us than to
offering them Il neighborly share in
what We have found serviceable. The
instinct Is not one of meddlesome in
reference with other peoples ideas,
but of friendly sharing with them Of
u ideas. There are great areas of
human society into which one longs to
let a little light, only because it is so
plain that they need nothing so much
as light. Everything is so shut in that
the first thing a visitor in such regions.
wishes to do is to cut out u vista and
open up a horizon. The way people
take their pleasures there is most mel
ancholy, their languid absorption in
walled-in interests. their pitiful lack of
contact with the very things their
means command and with vastly more
that money cannot command, their
childlike pushing aside Of everything
disagreeable. and childish delusion that
they can mold the world of their own
desire and ignore death-aIl this. when
we see itssets US to dreaming how any
sort of gospel could possibly penetrate
such wildernesses. The great chal-
lenge to religion is that it shall preach
to spirits in prison."
