Women of many lands and times have been celebrated because they have inspired men to bravery in the face of terrific odds, or have them selves taken command and actually have led them on to victory when de- feat seemed certain.
 But few Women-or men, for that matter-have gone on historical rec ford for such incredible single-hand- ed victories as that of Hannah Dus- tin. For she fought absolutely alone, without aid or encouragement, in hostile territory where she was inn prisoned.
 In, was in the spring of 1897 that the home of Thomas Dustin of Hay erhiI was attacked by a group of
 Indians Thomas Dustin was killed,
 but his wife, Hannah, and their nurse were captured. Mrs. Dustin tried to carry with her her tiny infant, but the Indians brutally tore the babe from her arms and dashed out it's brains
 Broken-hearted and nearly crazed
 with grief, Hannah Dustin was com pelled to trudge along with the In-
 dians for many weary miles. They took roundabout paths to confuse
 their prisoners, and by and by the
 scenery became unfamiliar to Mrs.
 Dustin, so that 1t seemed hopelessly impossible for her to retrace her steps
 even if she could escape.
 The Indians marched on tirelessly all that day and at night they came to place where they decided to rest. Her captors dropped off to sleep at once, but Mrs. Dustin could not close her eyes. Tired and footsore as she | was, there was but one thought in her mind-she must make good her l escape now or never.
 She weighed all the chances, all the risks. Through her mind ran all the possibilities of ~tortorous existence in the camps of her captors if she re-
 mained a captive and she set that against the likelihood of quick death | in a struggle to be free should the | Indians awake, or death from priva- ton in the forests should she succeed | in escaping and lose her way, and de- l cided to risk death, which ever way
 1t came.
 So sure were the Indians that there
 was no chance for the escape of their prisoner that she was left unguard-
 ed In the stiffness of the night she
 softly crept out of the wigwam and
 moved about to see whether her stir
 ring would rouse any of the savage sleepers. But they were deep in | slumber and slept on.
 Silently she picked up one Of the I Indian hatchets. Hannah Dustin knew something of Indian warfare
 and the dexterous trick by whicf

ETIQUETTE

A christening ceremony offers good opportunity for the invited guests, if they desire, to send a present to the baby.
 PERPLEXED-The proper dress for guest at an evening church we'd ding would be (broadly speaking) evening dress. An invitation to such an affair requires no answer other than the attendance upon the we'd ding, unless a card to the reception following is enclosed. A wedding in vitation does not imply that a wedding present must be sent, as the sending of a gift is optional. A good piece of linen is always a welcome gift, and might be embroidered with the brides maiden initial
 MISS TROUBLED-It would be only courteous for you to answer the letter. Possibly the young man is a bit shy and hesitates to force himself upon you.

MARIA THERESA PARADIES.

Maria Theresa Paradies was born in Vienna in .1753 and was remarkable for her life and for her musical tal- ent. At the age of four years and eight months she lost her eyesight. When seven years old she was taught to play the piano and received singing lessons. Three years later she sang in the church of St. Augustine at Vienna, accompanying herself on the organ. The empress, Maria Theresa, who was present at the performance, immediately gave her an annuity of 200 fiorins. In 1784 she set out on a musical tour of Europe and every where excited admiration for her tal- ents and pity for her misfortune. Her memory was astonishing, for she dic- tated all her compositions note by note. During the latter part of her life she presided over an excellent musical institution in Vienna.

PEACH BUTTER

Put the peaches in a wire basket and dip in boiling water a few sec onds until the skin slips---test by raising peaches out of water and rubbing the skin with fingers, then dip into cold water and peel and pit the fruit. Well-ripened free-stone varieties are best. Mash the pulp and cook in its own juice without adding water. If it is rather coarse put it through a colander or coarse wire sieve to make a butter or fine texture. To each measure of pulp add one-half measure of sugar and cook slowly and stir frequently until the product is of the desired thickness. Various sirups can be substituted in whole or in part for sugar. The meats of several pits may be cooked either whole or sliced in each gallon of butter. While still hot pack in sterilized jars or glasses with tight
 fitting tops and sterilize like apple butter, or cover with hot paraf1n.

CLOTHES SETTING
 FOR INDIVIDUAL

Subtle and delicate is the spirit of summer, and it deserves the dafntfest of clothes to- express it.
 Have you ever noticed what lace does for a garment, how it lifts 1t from the level of the commonplace up to the rank of the elite.
 If you are wondering just how to effect that difficult alliance of sim plicity and elegance that you desire to combine in your one formal frock the problem for you.
 Then to make sure that the result is quite perfect add a soft crushed girdIe of pastel tinted ribbon.
 When shadow lace veils are of em- broidered ecru net and the whole is girdled by a sash of robins egg blue the effect is as nearly perfect as pos sible.
 Add to this a unique but attractive arrangement of a pointed tunic and the appeal it offers to the feminine fancy is well nigh irresistible. The most foolish mistake that a woman can make Is to overdress her self in a frantic effort to adorn her beauty to the utmost advantage.
 If she is wise and possesses a sense of dress in any degree she will re- gard herself as the picture and her clothes merely the setting; not, as is too often the case, treat her clothes -the setting-as though they were the principal things to be considered and have them so beautiful that they will entirely obscure or mar the pic ture.
 | Pussy clothes are becoming to one 1 type of beauty but destructive to ar other, and it is the type that mus always be considered if one is tc l look we'll gowned.
 Organdie has an air all its owr and, sheer and dainty, it is one 0. the ft brics that, simply fashioned a! it may be, always develops the mos fascinating and becoming of frocks.

Diary of a Fashion Model
Solving the Problem of FrOck With Military Lines for tn
 CirI
WilIOWy Cir
= By GRACE TKORNCLIFFE

Glrl.
 Miss Ellis came in with a demand for a military street frock, and she looked as though she didn't expect to be suited.
 Please don't tell me that oughtn't wear military designs" she begged Madame.
 T should not like to see you in one of the conventional military designs" admitted Madame, flor their stiff, straight lines would make you look taller and f1attep than ever. However, you can wear a modified military de- sign which will give you all the charm of feminine military effect without any of its disadvantages"
 Then Madame asked me to bring out a complete costume-hat, frock and slippers-over which she imme- diately made exclamations of delight.
 The frock Is of brown silk serge with a beige-color Georgette collar and cuffs to match. The skirt has a draped panel with deep folds over the hips, and a long point in front. Black bone buttons in the back and the front give a military touch to the frock. This Is continued in the tri- cornered large hat of brown silk to match.
 With this costume is worn pair of brown slippers with dull gold colonial buckles.
 There are several clever touches that make this frock especially adap- table for the tall, slender woman. For instance, the pointed tunic, with it's draping up to the hips, breaks the tall line of the skirt in several places, so that the wearer doesn't seem tall to ungainliness. This type of panel also has the effect of introducing the per fectly straight line in the front, which neutralizes the round d-shoulderedness of which many tall girls are guilty. This costume, however, required the large, fiat hat previously describ- to provide a harmonious contrast The opportunity is given in this par ticular style of military headgear, as 1 carries out the military idea suggest ] ed in the frock.

REMEDY FOR INSOMNIA

Eating before retiring is an un- wholesome habit in most cases, and oftentimes encourages and prolongs insomnia Where ripe apple or cup of warm milk is agreeable to digestion these are taken when there is a desire for food at this time: a glass of cool or warm water makes a good night cap for others.
 Women who are highly strung and nervous oftentimes require some thing warm on retiring in order to take the blood from the brain Such women should never read anything very in- teresting or exciting, since the func- tions of the brain find it difficult to relax within a reasonable time
 The sleeping apartment should be well ventilated with fresh air cur rents, which, however, should not pro- duce 8, direct draft over the bed. I'm perfect ventilation, that is, too little fresh air oftentimes causes wakeful- ness, especially where the sleeper is accustomed to a certain amount of fresh air daily and cannot subsist or neager allotment even though the breathing is less frequent during sleep
 A tepid bath will oftentimes produce dTowsiness, where hot bath proves too stimulating It remains for ey, cry sufferer from insomnia to deter mine the cause and, remedy i& befor, the occasional wakefulness deveIon Into a chronic state which paves th,
 way for serious mental disorders. |
