N her "Apology for Golnn to Col
lrgo," Helen Keller, doaf, dumb
and blind, sys In MoClure'i:
"I was. of cours, hampred
by my limitation, which turned
tn drudrnry much work that might
liave been delightful; for they Imposed
upon me tedious methods of study. I wa
often behind In my work at a distance
forbidden by military law; I wa never
ahead, and onca I fell so far behind that
It aeemed at If I mlRht as well try to keep
pace with a shooting- starl Experience,
however, taught mo to, tack against wind
and tire the first lesson of life I learned
In college. And this waa easier with Miss
Sullivan at the helm. 1 would not part
with one of those struggles against the
sales 'the winds and persecutions of the
sky.' They tested my powers and de
veloped the Individuality which I had been
advised to bring upon books at home.
Although I always tried to work with a
cool head and steady hand and sleep ac
cording to the law I, too, was drawn Into
this whirlpool of confused. Incomplete
tasks. I met other girls In the college
balls and on the stairs who stopped a
moment to greet me, but they were rush
ing from lecture to examination, from ex
amination to basket ball practice, from
practice to dramatic rehearsal, from re
hearsal to conference, and there was no
time for a pleasant chat. And If the girls
who had eyes and ears were overburdened
and distraught I was at least no better
off. During four years a torrent of mis
cellaneous knowledge poured through my
Angers, and It fills me with despair to
, think how much of the choicest matter
of this abundant stream dripped and oozed
away. I waa eager to draw from the
living water of wisdom, but my pitcher
must have had a hole In It. I was like
the Danaidrs who poured water eternally
Into a broken urn."
The Bride's fiarter.
The recent royal wedding in which the
German crown prince and the Qrand
Duchess Cecilia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
were the high contracting parties has been
described with such fullness and even
prolixity. In letters and cable dispatches,
that little remains to be added that can
possibly Interest the public, except. It may
be, one feature of the service known as
the distribution of the princess' garter.
This unique and curious ceremony, says
Leslie's Weekly, seems to have escaped
the attention of historians of the affair
generally. The distribution of the ffartor
Is a quaint survival of olden times, when
the ministers and ladles of the royal house
hold enjoyed the privilege of escorting the
couple to the bridal chamber. Now this
ceremony takes the form of a torchllRht
procession around the ballroom to the door
where the happy pair make their exit. At
the wedding of the crown prince the pro
cession was headed by Prince von Buolow,
and at the door strips of the same silk
as the bride's garter, specially embroidered
with the date of the wedding, were dis
tributed among the guests as mementoes
of the occasion.
Carelessness of Shopping Mothers.
"It Is the will of the Lord," walls the
mother when her little one Is brought In
mangled by n car. As a matter of fact,
the will of the Lord In such cases is largely
controlled y the watchfulness of the
mother in a large city, where danger lies
at every crossing. It la not wllfull neglect
nor lack of love, says a writer in Leslie's
Weekly, but Just thoughtlessness on the
part of mothers who take their babies
Shopping with them, that has long been
the marvel of the matrons in the lost child
departments of the large stores, and to
the city polios, to whom a toddling baby
of a 'year or two, making: its way alone
on a crowded thoroughfare. Is an every
day occurrence. And this question of help
less little babies strapped In their gocarts
or carriages and left on the sidewalk while
the mother is making purchases within is
a tragedy of city life that is difficult to
Understand. No mothers in the world are
more truly devoted and self-sacrificing than
the American mother, and yet every day
the papers are filled with the tragedies
which can always be traced to the cause
of carelesness. Sometimes the infant is
asleep when left, but bargains are engross
ing, and the minutes are prolonged until
baby has awakened, and with hunger, to
gether with restlessness and fright, is
crying at the top of its voice. Or perhaps
the sun has veered around and Is shining
brightly upon the spot where the carriage
was left in the shade a short time before.
To accommodate the mother who takes
baby shopping, one large store In New
fork- City has Introduced the ohecklng
system, with a boy to watch over the small
charges while the mothers are within. Al
most any day one will see eight or ten
little gocarts and carriages, some with
and some without occupants, checked like
ao many umbrellas and ranged along the
aide of the store on the sidewalk. This
method, of course, lessens the danger, and
Is a sensible Idea as well aa an excellent
advertisement for the store which haa
adopted the custom.
Clothes for h Camper.
It depends, of course, somewhat on the

certain rules govern every sort of camp
outfit, and wherever you go you've got to
prepare to meet conditions as you find
them.
If you mean to rough It which is the
truest form of camping don't take any
good clothes along, except your traveling
dress, which you'll pack away the first
night you get Into the woods, and leave
there until you are ready to come Into civ

White shirtwaists are the most disap
pointing things imaginable they soli so
much sooner than they do in town, and,
even with the rudest form of roughing It,
you want to be neat. Pink and blue waists,
especially the darker shades of the colors,
are the most satisfactory, and take some
sort of a dark stock along to wear with
turnover collars. BtlfC collars wilt usually

French Deaaty Secrets,
The summer girl who wants to be pretty
all summer long should study French
beauty methods. The French woman, how
ever beautiful she may be, or however
homely, holds her looks all day. She is
Just as pretty in the morning as at night,
and at noon as at midnight.
If you ask her about this she will mur
mur something about beauty, hygiene, the
laws of health and the value of cheerful
ness. But, really, It Is to her beauty se
crets that she owes it all. She has ten
beauty secrets.
A French beauty who has Joined the
Newport colony tells the ten secrets of
her good looks In the New York Sun:
I am beautiful," said this French woman,
"because I know I am beautiful. I am
descended from a long race of proud
French women. In our childhood we are
taught that we are beauties. That thought
Is drilled into us and It never leaves us.
To know you are beautiful is half the bat
tle. "I was early taught to carry myself like
a beauty. And then the art of being beau
tiful was drilled into me.
"Any woman In the world can become
beautiful with the ten secrets of beauty
at her command. When I was a child and
steadily on until I was 18 I was taught
that beauty was an acquired thing.
'Beauty comes and goes,' my nurse said
to me. And I was taught that you could
control its going and coming.
"The .first of the ten French beauty com
mandments is: Have a clear skin. No
matter how dark it niay be, let it be clear
as clear as wine, as clear as crystal, as
clear as a drop of pure honey. Let there
. be no freckles, no liver spots, no blotches.
Let your skin bb of milky softness.
"The second beauty commandment re
lates to the hands. Have beautiful hands
Is a strict command in the French' canons
of beauty. Don't let your hands grow old.
"Then la succession come these laws:
"Keep your teeth white.
"Keep the wrinkles out of your fore
head. "Keep your l-tep light.
"Keep your voice low and clear. ,
"Keep your chin oval.
"Keep your throat slender.
"There are other commands, and the most
Important is: Keep your eyes bright. Don't
use them In the dim light. Don't read while
you rock. Don't let the dust settle In them
and remain there over night. Don't strain
your eyes and don't try to clear them by
rubbing them.
"Cry a little every day, If you must, for
women who cry easily always have beauti
ful eyes, but keep them bright, anyway.
'The next of the French beauty secrets
relates to the smile. The French woman
smiles a great deal. It Is a queer little
smile, and sometimes, like her shrug, it
looks artifltcal. But It Is her stock v In
trade. Without her smile the French
woman would be far less attractive than
she Is.
"The only other nation In the world that
understands the art of smiling is the Jap
anese. The Japanese woman knows all
about the smile.
"She uses It on any and every occasion.
She smiles when she meets you in the
street. She smiles at the table. She smiles
when she embroiders. She smiles all the
time. It Is not an annoying smile, but a
pretty one.
"The French woman, while she does not
believe In red cheeks, is a firm believer lit
red Hps, and to keep her Hps red she will
bite them. She will put alcohol upon them,
she will touch them at night with a good
Hp lotion, and she will keep her circulation
good In order that her Hps may be bright.
"The French woman will bleach her
cheeks until they are clear and creamy,'
but she will keep her Hps red, for she
knows that red Hps set oft white teeth and
make the mouth winning.
"The French woman pays the utmost at
tention to her hair. It must be glossy, and
her preference Is for dark hair. She la lesj
partial to the light shades and she does not
even fancy red hair, which is the aim and
aspiration of every other American woman.
"A French beauty secret Is that of hiding
your poor traits. If your ears are big,
cover them with little ear curls. These are
only tiny wisps of hair, but they can be
coaxed to He In pretty artistic waves over
the ears.
"And the same with the temples. If they
are high and bald they can be coaxed into
beauty by curling the hair upon them so
that the locks He in little temple curls.
These are easy to manage. If your own
hair will not kink In this way you can add
hairpin curls to cover the temples.
"The French woman has one beauty
secret which should be known to every
womna under the sun. it Is so bewitching,
so fetching, so feminine and uo unstudied.
It Is that of perfume.
"Never does the French woman obtrude
her perfumes upon you. But she has the
Is to love children, and
home can be completely
happy without them, yet the
ordeal through which the ex-
knack of being fully perfumed without ap
pearing to be so.
"She understands the subtle art of In
cerse without heaviness. You whiff a de
licious odor as that of a Burden. But there
Is none( of that cloying sweetness of the
tropics. It Is charming fragrance.
"And another thing and this Is the final
French beauty secret don't get fat. Fat
Is fatal to grace, fatal to prettlness, fatal
to everything under the sun.
. "Reduce your weight If you want to be
good looking. French women drink light,
sweet wine instead of water or milk. It
acts as a tonic to the stomach, without
adding fat."
Designing- Rlnsra.
To the uninitiated the designing of rugs
would probably not appear to be an occupa
tion for which men should have any special
'qualifications that women do not possess.
Nevertheless, the designers of rugs are gen
erally men, and b-hen a young woman. Miss
Emma Ray Marshall, made Inquiries as to
the opportunities of the field, about half a
dosen years ago, she was told that thsre
were absolutely none for a woman. Fur
ther Inquiries as to why this should be so
elicited only the vague general statement
that the work was always done by men,
and the more particular Intimation that
women couldn't, make practical designs and
that no matter how good their Ideas might
be at first they Invariably gave out after
a few years' work.
Miss Marshall did not see the force of
this reasoning, and, undlscouraged by the
quantities of cold water poured on her
project, she persisted in learning rug-making.
Today her beautiful floor coverings
are to be found ln homes of wealth ail over
the country.
She has made a specialty of Indlnn rugs,
because this Is considered to bo the most
difficult branch of the art, and her em
ployes do not wish hor to waste her time
on easy things that other people can do.

She Is said to have designed more of these
rugs than any other man or woman In the
country.
The predicted difficulty of making prac
tical designs is one which Mlsa Marshall
has nver experienced. The first dislgn
submitted to the firm which now employs
her was practical. Neither has she per
ceived any falling off In her ideas. On the
contrary she has found the possibilities of
the field limitless.
"The originality of her designs Is almost
startling." says an admirer of her work.
"After the genius of sges has been lavished
on Indian rugs one would think that their
possibilities would have been exhausted.
Tet Miss Marshall produces effects that
seem quite new. It Is her ambition to rival
the ancient art of India, and she gets effects
such as are expected only as the result of
time."
Miss Marshall Is a graduate of the New
York School of Applied Design for Women
and had no artistic training until she went
there, yet from the beginning she took a
leading place In her classes, and during
her course carried oft many prises. She
took up rug designing for financial reasons,
putting ofT till a more convenient season
her ultimate object of pointing pictures.
Yet she says she has found in her work
complete artistic satisfaction. She often
designs Interior decorations to harmonise
with her rugs, and always prepares her own
colors, which the chemist in India, where
the rugs are woven, copies.
Miss Marshall Is not the only woman en
gagedMn this branch of applied art. but it
is sal? that no other woman In this coun
try ever got such high prices for her work
as she. It Is a, common complaint among
women designers that rug designing does
not pay, and Miss Marshall thinks that any
woman wishing to enter the Held would be
told Just what she was told half a dozen
years ago. Nevertheless., she is convinced
that any woman who can make good de
signs will find her place. The demand for

Prills of Fashion.
Seta of chemisette and elbow sleeves to
wear with the short gown sleeves of this
season are as pretty as they are useful,
and come stamped for embroidery.
Girls who wear linen elts like to em
broider card cases to match. With white
embroidered blue suits the card caso is
white and blue, and they are done in
other colors or all white.
One of the newest devices In the way
of lingerie ought to be widely adopted.
This Is none oilier than a silk llouaoe, In
dia or taffeta, to button ou a while petti
coat at the knee.
Three-piece suits are always suitable for
sightseeing. Thin silk blouses matching
in color the rent of the culume are con
venient. In that they do not require con
stant laundering. Worn with fine lingerie
sots, especially with the hluli cuffs so much
in vogue, these blouses are very modish
and becoming.
The laudable desire to get rid of super
fluous underwear has resulted in a very
wide adoption of combination garments,
which are far from being the hideous cre
ation devised by early dress reformers.
The new garments are of tine materials,
and are cut so skillfully that the sizo of
the wearer, if she be stout, is materially
oecrea:U.
Another device whereby the apparent size
Is diminished is seen In a princess pent
coat of tafteta or liglitweignt satin. Fur
evening wear these peillcuals are developed
in all the beautiful pale shades, and liiey
arc shaped In the waist with siieuial ref
erence to low-necked bodices. The skirts
are trimmed as elaborately with lace and
ruchlngs as the fancy and the purse of
the wearer may dictate.
"Ail the talk about returning to business
and crinolines becomes nonsense when the
increasing rationality of fashion 1b ob
served," says the New York Evening Post.
"If old women were content to suffer in
order to be beautiful,- but within late
years there has sprung up such a large
class of women who have learned that
personal beauty, while extremely desirable,
is nut the only goal of woman's existence,
that fashion Itself has been modified to
conform to comfort. One wonders that
the young woman of the eighteeu-sixlies
ever had courage to mount a horse. Her
riding habit was a cumbersome affair,
weighing heavily, while the danger of
the long, full skirt must have been ap
parent. Nowadays the riding skirt reaches
barely to the Instep, and is lighter In
weight than tie average walking skirt.
In warm weather most women wear linen
or khaki. In the country such a skirt is
worn with an ordinary linen shirtwaist,
but In town the entire habit Is usually
worn. Sailor hats or soft l'anama oullng
shapes are worn In summer quite as much
as ordinary riding hata. In the semi-rural
depths of Central park morning rides are
taken in most Informal costumes. Skirts
of linen, crash or khaki, with shirtwaists,
and no hata at all, are frequently Been."

The late Mary A. Llvermore was u
Shrewd woman, who believed In "fighting
the devil with tire." She was converted to
this idea by the example of an old friend,
a clergyman. With a solemn air he an

button had been found In the collection.
"Only one Individual in the church could
have been guilty of this trick," he said,
"and I shall exnect this person to replace
the button with a coin." After service a
member of the church owned up to Deing
the culprit and naked: "How did you know
I was the man?" "I did not know," said
the clergyman. "But you said only one
person could havo done It." "Just so," was
the reply. "Two persons could not have
