Hohart • ’hatOeld-Taylor, who is a »!•' i .aver of « mn as well as a leade i sendery. spea: -• with authority upon the aame of golf ami what it offers to women s a healthful and delightful pastime. The laughter «•? tl • late Senator Charles B. Karwili. of Illinois. and the wife of the laleuUui author of “The Crimson \Ylng“ and other novels, she is well known.) When American women took up golf they did ii as a pose; in a short time it became a purpose; it is now merely a pastime. All thi' alliteration may seem meaningless, but those who remember the various stages through which golf in this country has passed cannot fail 0 recognize the truth of it. The 1 ose period was when golf began. Then it was a'new fad—the thing to talk about, the thing to do. Women —and likewise men—wore red coats; they flocked to the golf links as they would to afternoon teas, and the pro fessionals were busy from early till late teaching women, regardless of weight, age or previous condition of servitude, to drive gutta-percha halls off little piles of sand. Every woman must take up golf, and take it up she Iiiiri with a vengeance. Out of the pose period grew the Ikirpose epoch, when home, husband, Hildren and even best young men Hire forgotten in the daily chase of Hat same gutta-percha ball. We Heamed of golf scores by night and He struggled to lower them by day. Bur intimate friends became our Hi ted rivals and our sote object in life Has to lower a record or "lift'’ a cup. line can hardly think of those days without restraining a smile. A worn In's popularity was gauged by' her success on the green, and be she nev er so beautiful or attractive, she was forced to give the palm to the local champion. As for the woman who had attained national honors, she was the envied of everything in petti coats, and consequently the detested. During that purpose period of golf the woman who had not reached the first flight still cherished hopes, and the only object In life for the average woman of that day was to bring in a lower score, by fair means if possible, or—dare I say it?—sometimes by foul The game has now reached what I I call the pastime period. We are eon ' tent to take it as an amusement, and those who have any chance of win ning make It a genuine sport. The contestants for championship honors are ;those who really love the game, and they play to win. If they are beaten they don't scratch their op ponents' eyes out. but they go to work to try to “do her up” in the next match. For a number of years there were but two classes in American womens golf: Miss Beatrix Hoyt, and the others. No one else, except Mrs. Butler Duncan, who did uui en ter tournaments, had the slightest : chance of winning the championship, I and it was only a question of who would be the runner-up. For three years Miss Hoyt reigned supreme as queen of golf, but that was the time when golf was a pur pose. So that out of the throng of , persistent women who crowded the courses from morning till night, get ting in the way of the men and mak ing themselves generally obnoxious to I the world at large, came a group of first-class slayers who become the stars.. There was little to choose among them, jmt even they have not things their own way, for young, supple girls are always coming to the front, and in the keen competition of the present day to hold one’s own at all becomes a task calling for ail the qualities of the sportswoman. With !hd .development of the game from a fad to a sport the quality of American woman’s golf has improved immeasurably, particularly ia the long game. One hundred yards, used to be a long drive for a woman, and one of that length would bring forth applause from admiring onlookers, but to-day a woman who cannot clear u 1 .'in-yard bunker would not even fig ure among the ‘ also rans" in the pub lished accounts of a match. Putting is ’he part of the game women learn most readily, and rite part in which they excel. Women putt as well as or better than men. but they never drive as well because they are handi capped by the element of strength, in the development of.the game there has been" little improvement in the putting department since rite early days. All who had any eye whatever quickly learned to 'go down in two • when on the green, but in reaching the green the women of to-day have advanced wonderfully over those of a few years ago. The eastern women outclass those of the, west, because athletics have a firmer hold in the east. Eastern yvorn en are accustomed to riding, shooting, sailing and tennis. They play games from their earliest childhood, so thai their muscles are more thoroughly trained, and they are accustomed to competitions. Golf was merely one more game to be learned, and they went about it in the systematic way which comes alone from experience. Golf is the first sport in which west ern women have indulged toj any ex tent, and consequently they have not the sporting instinct fully developed as yet. The young girls in the west —the ones who have learned the game since golf became a universal craze, and consequently have had the benefit of the best instruction and ex ample—arc the only ones who can ever hope to compete upon an equal basis with the beit women players of the east. There is another point in connection with golf upon which I can never re sist giving my views. I mean the practice of professional caddies in matches. It seems to me unsports manlike to employ such extraneous aid in matches. To say the last word I have to say: Golf is a glorious game for women. The exercise is not too violent and it may be indulged in by the young and the old, the lame, halt—I was going to say blind, but one must keep one's eye on the ball. It is a game for all players of games and. if one is con tent to plod along in one's own class, a game to give treasure to all. The diffcultv in the road to championship honors is the necessity for constant and unremitting practice. Again, to play through a tournament is a ter rible strain upon one's nerves and vi tality; therefore, don't take golf too seriously, unless you wish to become a subject for a rest cure. Some wom en do take golf too seriously, and when their whole happiness becomes involved in the winning and losing of matches they become objects for compassion rather than emulation. Play the game primarily for the sake of the game, not for the fleeting honors it brings. It is pleasant enough to be a champion, but not at the cost of health anil happiness, and. after ail. a champion is only a nine days' wonder to a - very small num ber of the world's inhabitants. Play the game for the dfversion and exer cise and play it squarely; if champion ships result, so much the better, but we can’t all be champions, and even those who are sometimes get conceit ed and are therefore not the pleasant est people in the world to meet. Golf Is a game for women, than which there is none better, but we are to be congratulated upon the fact that it has reached the pastime stage. As a pose it was ridiculous; as a purpose Insufferable, but as a game it is glori ous—so long may it Uve! COVER FOR THE BABY. Will Be Pretty of Blue Silkoline Tied With Pink and Blue. Materials: Two and a half yards of piain silkoline, three bolts of No. 1 ribbon, one skein of Sheltand floss, one but of fine cotton. Divide the silkoline into two equal parts, place in a frame and put in lay ers of cotton between ready for ty ing. Tie the ribbons all ifa tiny bows Thread the needle with the Shetland floss, using it double. Bring the needle up from the bottom, then down again, taking a stitch through one of the Sigws. Tie the yarn on Ihe wrong side, with three or four extra needles tied in the knot to make a small tuft. Continue the knotting in this man ner—beginning with two and a half inches from the edges, making the tufts four inches apart. Turn in the edges all around and buttonhdle close ly with the yarn used singly. Crochet a row of shells around the quilt, each shell of five double crocljet.. fastened with a single crochet and placed close enough together to make ihe work lie ftat and gulled at the cor ners. On the right side, just inside the buttonholing, make a row of feather stitching with the yarn. This makes a light, dainty cover for the baby, it is very pretty of blue silkoline tied with white ribbons, or of white silkoline tied with pink and blue. Fur Fashions.. Sable, mink and sealskin are the three skins which will be made up into the costliest coat, bolero and half dolman forms, while muskrat, pony skin and mole-dyed squirrel skin will be seen in motor and long cloaks. Fur trimmed dresses will not be fre quently seen, but cloth trimmings on furs, such as the three choice varie ties above mentioned, will be. Stitched bands of cloth ate to be used to define seams which heretofore were prefer ably left undefined, and silk braids of a close, tine mesh, will be employed for the same purpose in connection with soutache and lgce ornamental fastenings. Wide rovers of sable or fox will be used for the squirrel-lined tw.eed coats, and these, being usually meant for practical warmth, are provided with big storm collars, also lined with fur. Scotch tweeds for motoring and long cloth pedestrian "cloaks wilf also have fur in this way about the neck. Take Sew'ng Easily. y The sewing in many households is left, like the housecleaning, for a general disturbance of happiness, comfort, and health when, if a little system were used, the burden would be lighter. For instance, every house needs napkfns, table cloths, pillow cases, washrags and towels. The peaceful method is to secure these long before they are actually needed, and do the sewing at odd times. Cut carefully by the thread the twelve napkins, folding each one in clean tis sue paper. Then when time lags, sew a napkin—ditto tablecloth. In like manner tear from the muslin half a dozen pillow cases. When the hands are idle, overseam the sides and bottom, and baste the hem. This can be done while conversing with a friend. Put in fifteen minutes at the machine finishing them, and you hard ly know when you have. made your pillow cases or hemmed your lineal.— Mrs. Habb. Handy Contrivance. One may have dozens of hooks in a closet, yet they will not take the place of one long curtain rod placed well ! back in the closets where skirts can lie hung. The skirt hangers with large hooks must he used and dozens of skirts can be hung on tliis pole and take up so little room that it ii* re markable that the idea is so late in making ifs arrival. Then if the hooks are placed closely together in neat rows, instead of here, there and every where. the waists can he placed on neat little paper hangers and hung in orderly rows, and it does not mean hanging several waists on one hook to be overtopped with a petticoat or bolero jacket, all to be taken down when the lower waist is needed. If women learned to properly place hooks in the clothes presses and ward robes there would be less demand for more dresB room. \ * Home Made Soap. Put one can of lye. or potash in one quart of cold water. When cool add six pounds of clean grease, stir, ling continually for ten to fifteen minutes, when pour into a box or pan to cool. When the soap becomes a 1 little stiff, cut into liars. The next day remove it from the box or pan and place it on the shelf to dry. This soap is so white and pure that it i8 j used often for toilet purposes. | Buttonholes Won’t Tear. .Cut buttonhole the proper size, bar it. Start at the back of the buttonhole, by passing the needle up through the cloth, then forward. Take a smaij stitch across the front edge of button hole, then back to starting point; re peat. Use the reguiar buttonhole stitch, stitching closely all around over the two threads. This buttonhole will not stretch or tear, and can be used in all kinds of material. Needlework Note. A clever d offian has'put her knowl edge of basketry to good account In the fashioning of a whisk-broom hold er. This consists of two disks of bas ket work similar to those used for the bottom bf a fancy basket and caught together at the sides by 'large fluffy bows of three-inch satin ribbon, the color being a delicate pink in harmony with her room furnishings. A band of ribbons of narrow width, but match ing in tone, is used to suspend the holder. Plain Cloves Worn. ' Although the vogue for fancy em broidered gloves has increased, the plain suede or dull kid is considered better taste. Silk gloves in all colors are worn with lingerie gowns, but are not considered strictly fashionable. Toi those who prefer comfort to following blindly the edicts of fashion these gloves strongly commend themselves fop warm summer days. • v . V j. ;4. \? BHtoSH -—— ' — - , . .. AT THE FLAG STATION. Margaret and Ffcr Faithful Daisy Save ' the Express. The Conleys lived so far out town and used the trains so often that, the little flag station at the foot of the hill was a necessity. Margaret was charmed when it was put up; she soon knew the various signals and the -V “Steady, Steady, Steady, There!” family grew to depend upon her, for the very faintest whistle could not escape her sharp ears: she seemed unconsciously to be always on the alert. Margaret was a queer child, used from babyhood to roaming the coun try by herself. She knew every foot of the ground, and it was as natural for her to ride a horse as it was to walk and talk. Her own horse, Daisy, happened to be born on her birthday, a circumstance which delighted Mar garet. The Conleys made great holi days of birthdays, and papa not only allowed her to have the naming of the pretty colt, but presented her as a birthday present to his little daughter. How Margaret learned to ride she never knew. Once on Daisy's back everything seemed easy, and many a canter they had in the summer days down the long stretch of road that led to town. Margaret was never allowed to go , to town by herself, though she was 11 years old. and Daisy could have carried her quite safely; but 'she would often ride for a mile or more down the road "just to pretend.” She usually golloped as far as the flag sta tion and turned Daisy loose for a lit tle browse in a certain green pasture nearby while she went inside. Here she looked at the clock hanging just above the door, though she had to get. on a bench to see it at ail. Then she consulted the schedule nailed upon the wail, and then she waited for the passing of two or three trains, nodding and waving to the conductors and engineers, to whom the child's figure was a familiar landmark. Then she would call Daisy, and would trot back home by the same road, all pre rending that they had been to town. On a certain afternoon there was company expected by the late trim for tea. and Margaret and Daisy went ahead of the carriage to welcome the guests. It was just sunset when they reached the flag station and Margaret could see the engine of the train from town poking its nose over the brow of a distant hill. At the top It would commence the down, grade with double speed, sidetracking about half it mile from the flag station to let the home-bound express pass by. As the train from town came nearer Margaret cantered forward to meet it, but to her amazement it did not side track a3 usual, coming instead straight toward the station. The child’s heart stood still; in five min utes’ time the express would come thundering by, and it never stopped at the flag station unless signaled. It would dash past into the train bearing their friends from town, and Mar garet Shut her eyes as the dreadful vision came before her, but she was quick to think. She uaced with Daisy back to the flag station and snatched the signal, a bit of scarlet flannel, from its nail on the wall. It was too late to warn the incoming train, which would not have lime to back down to the switch and sidetrack before the express came ui»on them front the jther direction. Hut she and Daisy would be able to signal the rushing | express and check its speed in time. They took the railroad track, the 'ittle girl reasonably thinking that the i sight of such an unusual obstacle would bring tbe engine quickly to a halt. Margaret had no thought of her own danger, though Daisy shrank as she felt the ominous rumbling beneath her hoofs. “Good girl! Good girl!” whispered Margaret. “Steady, steady, there— don’t be frightened—” and grasping the bridle firmly with one hand, she waved the signal vigorously with the other, just as the black snorting mon ster dashed into sight. A surprised shriek and two short whistles answered the signal, and Margaret knew that all was well. Then things began "to whirl before her; she had just strength to pull Daisy off the track, when she slipped out of the saddle to the ground, her little white face upturned to the sun set glow. The scarlet signal was still In her tightly clenched hand, and Daisy stood quietly sniffing and neigh ing, until help arrived. When Margaret came to herself she lay In her mother's lap, but she could not understand, until she saw the faces of the people all around her and heard the cheer as she opened her eyes. t “Where's Daisy?” she asked, and willing hands led Daisy to her side. Good girl! Good girl!” she whispered, Just as she had but a short time be fore, when the train rumbled over the . rails. She reached out and patted her favorite's glossy side. “Daisy didn’t throw me,” she said, raising herself, *1 fell—I couldn’t see i—everything gut black.” Then mamma bent down and kissed I her tenderly. “My little girl, my little girl!” she cried, and held .her close. Margaret sighed and smiled and nestled closer still, and shut her eyes once ruoref'for she was tired, and with mamma s j arms about her nothing else really mattered.—Washington Star. THE TOY ARTIST, A Mechanical Figure Which Displays Great Ingenuity. The mechanical toy shown in the 1 accompanying illustration is one of the most original and ingenious things of its kind that have recently appeared. Within the base upon which the "artist” and his easel are placed and immediately below the fig ure, is a small pinion operated by a worm at the end of the crankshaft that is seen projecting through the side of the base. The pinion, which rotates in a horizontal plane, is pro vided with a couple of pins upon which- is placed one of the sets of re movable cams which accompany the toy. The cams are double, being pro vided with two separate peripheral edges, and each edge is engaged by the short arm of a pair of levers, as shown in the engraving. The upper lever attaches at the end of its long arm to a vertical shaft, which passes up through the body of the figure and is pivotally at ■ ached to its light arm at the shoul der. By this means, says the Chi cago News, the rotation of trto cam causes a vertical up and down move ment of the arm and the drawing pen cil tiiat it carries. The lower cam operates a system of levers, which give a series of right and left move ments. it is evident that, by giving ihe proper relative contours to the two edges of the cam, the arm. with the pencil that it carries, may be made to trace any desired line upon the paper, either vertical or horizontal, by the action of the first or the sec ond cam, or diagonal or curved, by the joint operation of the two. Each of the double cams, which are pro vided with the toy, is cut so that its Details of the Toy. operation will cause the figure to draw some well-known object. The easel is hinged to the base and is pressed against the pencil by means of a coil spring. It is provided 1 with four projecting pins, upon which the sheet of paper is held while the sketch artist is at work. NEW SHADOW SHOW. Here’s a Chance to Make Fun for Your Friends. The following is a very simple method of producing on the wail a se ries of new Chinese shadows, the op How It Is Worked. erator. as well as the little folk de lineated, remaining behind the look ers-on. which is sometimes an advan tage. Place a candle on a table, and on the wall opposite affix a sheet of iquUscap for a screen. Between Jhe candle and the screen interpose some opaque body, such as a cardboard calendar or a large volume. Now. how arc you going to project your shadows on the screen when it is al ready dark? Very simply, by means of a mirror fixed at the edge of a table. The reflection of the mirror will be thrown on the wall either in ; a parallelogram or in an oval, and if your screen is in the suitable posi tion. and you work your pasteboard dolls correctly between them, the mir ror and the wall, your ahdience will see the figures dance lythout finding out the way it is done.—Magical Ex periments. Kaiser on Horseback. Emperor William's horseback acci dent is by no means his first experi ence of tlte kind, though the greatest care is taken by the master of the horde (oberstailmeister) to provide the^empdror with the Bafest mounts, which are trained to b’e as easy and docile as a circus- steed. The reason is that the kaiser has no power what ever in his left or bridle Jton. and that, when he is leading %ast a regi ment with drawn sword he has practi ally no means-of controlling his charger. His majesty looks as If he were holding the reins with his left hand, but this is mere appearance. Who Began It? JVillie had just received a severe whipping. 'Mamma.” said he. “did your moth er ever whip you?” "I was punished when I was naugh ty,” hts mother replied. “And. was she whipped by her mother?” “Yes, dear.” Willie reflected deeply. "Well, I'd like to know' who started It, anyway,” he exclailned, finally. 1 moj m »», -j u f 'L-ni queen wuheeeena ---— PBwa? n&mor o o o O O O Her Majesty Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands—tail, stately, fair haired, eyes of blue, ami clear com plexion, with animated, kindly, yet resolute expression—is the only wom an ruler of Europe. She is very much beloved by her subjects, and little heard of outside of her own king dom. Her majesty was at an early age called upon to reign over a hardy, independent and tumultuous people: but she who is a child of herots. a descendant of William the Silent, the-' nation's idol, has proved herself fully equal to the task; for the queen and her subjects have the same patriot ism. the same ideals and beliefs, and the same love of freedom. It is now nine years since Queen Wilhelmina took the oath of inaug uration—a ceremony equivalent to a coronation—and took the reins into her own hands, her mother having act ed as queen-regent from the time of Wilhelraina's accession at ten years of age. The palace of the Loo is a fine-look ing and imposing building, standing back in a quadrangle, resplendant with gaily colored flower beds. In the rear are immense gardens, and the whole is situated in the midst of the most beautiful forest. No more charming and secluded s|>ot for resi dence could be obtained, and it is no wonder that it is the favorite abode of her majesty and the Prince Con sort. Here the royal couple lead a life of comparative retirement, following the respective tastes and hobbies to which they are partial. Both the ex alted personages are of a particularly active disposition, and seldom indulge in idle moments. Queen Wilhelmina gets up very ear ly in the morning and dresses quick ly: then descends to breakfast, during which she'opens letters, a duty which so far her majesty has not relegated to a secretary. Witli respect to her correspondence. Queen Wilhelmina is most conscientiously particular. She gives her earnest attention to minute details, insists on every letter being answered: and where possible grants petitions to even the poorest of her subjects. She decides quickly, for she thinks quickly, and the people who are brought into personal contact with her majesty are soon rated ac cording to their merits, for no one is a -more shrewd judge of character than is the young sovereign of the Netherlands. wnen ner majesty was quite a young child, she was thoroughly in structed in cooking, exactly as is the usual good fashion amongst the Dutch aristocracy; so she perfectly under stands what composes a good dinner, and scans the menu prepared by the > chef, striking out or putting in dishes which she may or may not prefer. As 1 have already mentioned, her maj esty’s health Jias not been of late years exceptional? good, and the large amount or horse exercise in which she formerly delighted is now somewhat cuWailed; but still, on most mornings the queen rides, accompan ied by her hiraband or the master of the horse. Luncheon is partaken of at a quite early hour, and in the afternoon it is usual for the queen and prince to drive out together, her majesty more often than 'not taking the reins. Queen Wilhelmina is naturally of a most affectionate nature, and has the happ^ faculty of retaining her friends, never forgetting those of her child hood's days. As a matter of fact, her two former governesses are still Wachter in Bohemia. Xot so very long ago Congressman Frank C. Wachter of Maryland was delivering a speech ton select assem blage of Bohemians in Baltimore. He unburdened himself of all the political fire in his supply, and then sat down amid thundering applause. The ap plause continued. It was plainly “up to” Mr. Wachter to respond to the encore, bnt he wanted to do sorae j thing special. He leaned over to Wil I liam Weissager, a ward leader of that end of town, and whispered: “This applause touches hqe. touches I me deeply. Give me a line in Bo ! hemian, that I may thank them in their own language." Weissager promptly delivered the line, which Mr. Wachter as promptly rehearsed. Frank always was “quick study.” At the proper moment he -■arose and spoke the line in a voice that could be heard a mile away. Instantly there was a mad scramble and rush for the doors. In half a jiffy the ball was empty. Wachter turned in dismay tp Weissager. “Fbr heav en'* sake!” he exclaimed, hoarsely, honored with annual invitations to the court Altbough*her majesty has Russian blood in her veins on her grandmoth er's side, and is autocratic in some directions, yet she is democratic in others, and has an utter abhorrence of undue ceremony and statecraft. She loves the patriarchal simplicity ‘ of the inhabitants of the old Dutch villages—the costumes of which she often wears—and is fond of paying visits to such, Schevoningen more es pecially being honored in this respect. This is an exceedingly quaint place.' within three or four miles of The Hague. The queen played on its sands in her childhood, and it is a favorite drive when she is staying at The Hague palace. On the other side of Tlie Hague her majesty has a small palace known as “The house in the wood." This was built in 1*147. and has bet* made famous for all time as the scene of the first peace confer ence. j The Hague is. of course, (he politi cal capital, and in the city is the win ter palace, where the majority of tae court ceremonies are held. Whatever be the occasion, the company always take up their position in the ball room or other saloon before the queen appears. At Amsterdam, however—which is the commercial capital, and rejoices in an eight-days' coart every April—the queen does not take part in the balls. She merely sits on the dias at the end of the room and watches the oth ers. Whatever ceremony or function her majesty may be attending in any place, she is most punctual in her coming and going, and she brings this to bear upon all her state business. She insists upon everything being placed before her regularly and punc tually to be dealt with at once. She signs nothing without thoroughly un derstanding it, and her Arm will and decided judgment have more than once brought her into conflict with her ministers; but site generally has her way, and the people say the coun try does rtbt suffer in« consequence. Everyone knows that Queen Wil helmina is much beloved by her sub jects. and it only needs the birth of a son and heir to the throne to com plete the satisfaction of queen and subjects alike.
