( alone, the reroM In notable. But the ser
vices performed, the rescues of seafaring
men, the courage and skill displayed,
makes the record of Miss Lewis an II.
lustrious one.
Kvery manlner on the coast knows Lime'
Hocks lighthouse, and the Grace Darling
of America who Is In charge, the only
woman In the United States holding such
a position, and that through a special
act of congress.
Medals for saving Uvea adorn the neat
and tidy castle on the rocks, which Miss
Lewis calls 'home." Fhe was made very
happy In 1307 by receiving from the Car
negie hero fund a life pension of tM, in
recognition for her many brave acts.
Her record of lives saved numbers 18, as
follows:
1SG, September Four students.
1W6, February One soldier.
1867, January Three sheep herders.
1SS7, November Two pallors.
lSta, March Two soldiers.
1877, November Three sailors.
11. February Two soldiers.
IMS, August One woman.
No matter what the weather conditions
Ida Lewis is ready with her life-boat to
aid the unfortunate In the sea. She and her
brother, Hudolph Lewis, are confined to
the little Space of less than half an acre
for several days at a time, and then again
when the harbor lias been frozen over for
.days the Inmates of the lighthouse must
remain, but they have everything neatly
stowed for Just such an emergency. Miss
Lewis Is preparing to whitewash the light
house fur the Bummer season, and the
painting will follow. She will be 65 years
of age on next February 25, and likes
hard work.
Among the medals and trophies Miss
Lewis possesses Ih one of silver from the
New York Life Having association for
rescuing two men from watery graves In
Newport harbor on March 23, 1SC9, during
a sever,? storm. Another trophy for this
Reliant rescue Is a small boat which the
cltizenn of Newport presented to Miss
I-ewls by popular subscription, Includlag
that of General Grant.
The day the dory was presented an In
spiring Incident Is njcalled by Miss Lewis
In connection with the gift.
The dory was mounted on wheels and
hauled through Newport streets by a largo
number of its most rtictlngulshed citizens,
and on that night a public ceremony was
held and Ida Lewis was presented with a
copy of resolutions of thanks passed by
the Rhode Island legislature.
For this rescue of two soldiers from Fort
Adams and the act which made her fa
mous, the officers and enlisted men of
Fort Adams presented Miss Lewis with a
purse of gold.
A gold medal Is shown among the col
lection at the lighthouse which was pre.
sented by congress In 18S1 for rescuing
thirteen persons, and particularly for sav
ing the two soldiers from Fort Adams.
The Massachusetts Humane society
broke Its rulings and went out of the
state to honor Miss Lewis with a silver
medal In 1881.
A marvelous silver tea set Is Included In
the valuable collection which was given
her by the troops at Fort Adams for
rescuing two of their number who had
fallen through the Ice In an attempt to
reach Fort Adams from Newport during
a cold winter afternoon. In all she has
rescued five soldiers belonging to Fort
Adams.
Miss Lewis became endeared to the sum
mer residents by saving four young men
of their families after being capslred In a
small sloop Just before dusk. September,
1859, and In January rescued three sheep
herders who had gone Into the harbor to
save their charges.
Miss Lewis receives $700 a year from the
federal government for conducting this
Important light, with coal and water sup
plied. Each morning Miss Lewis Is seen In her
dory coming to Newport with her brother
for their dally provisions, or on Sunday
coming to church, attending most regu
larly services at the Thames Street Meth
odist Episcopal church. (
Vacation tor Business Girls.
If a couple of business girls have a va
cation and a little money they will get
more pleasure out of It by really seeing
their country than by any other way. Let
them get a flannel or a khaki dress, made
as stylishly as possible for an outing
dress, go a few miles on the train and
then start out on a tramp across country
for the nearest town. They can atay all
night, and then start out the next morn
ing on another tramp, and at the end of a
week they will be ready to come home on
the train wise as wood wrens and as
happy and healthy.
Man the Mere Lampllnr.
Prof. Emll Reich. In his work on
"Woman Through All the Ages." deli
cately Insinuate that In American Ufa
she Is "the whole orchestra." He says:
These women the American maid and
wife are fundamentally different from
their sisters In Europe, whether In the
past or present. Far from taking the
lightest Interest In man, they look down
upon him. Man In America plays neither
first nor second fiddle, he dona noe even
beat the drum. He Is the mere lamp
lighter of the orchestra of life In the
United States.
Nothing is more common In the states
than to be asked by one of their "bright"
women, "How do you do this or that
thing? What trick have you for doing
ItT" In their minds, In their Innermost
minds, they are firmly convinced that
all the great artists have their
"tricks" with which they work upon the
audience. In native elemental talent they
do not believe at all. How could they?
They have themselves not the trace of
such talent.

there Is not a single American pianist of
even the third order. There are thousands
of schools for American women; yet there
Is not a single American woman of note as
a scholar.
I calmly state that the American woman
la not and can not be anything like the
type of womanhood that, from the Hellenes
downward, all European nations have
considered at the right model. Women,
,then. In America cannot develop, and has
never developed, that peculiar charm of
either beauty or grace that In Europe has
always been held to be the greatest power
of women.
The last word, then. In American woman
hood Is this, that they represent actually
what the ancient Greek myths (If myths
they be) represented symbolically a realm
of Amazons grafted upon a realm of man.
The old Greek Amason Is Indeed the evi
dent archltype of the woman of the United
States.

"It Is absurd that you don't allow women
to smoke In your hotels," said the Countess
Wolfgang of Castell-Rudenhausen, In a
New Tork Interview. "Such privilege Is
not denied women In Europe.
"Oh, of course one may smoke In her
own room, aa the manager will politely
tell you, but I mean In the dining rooms.
What Is there objectionable If a woman
smokes her cigarette after meals at the
table? In this respect the American wo
men are not up to date."
The countess and her husband, Count
Wolfgang of Castell-Rudenhausen, are Just
completing a tour around the world. They
only stopped in New York for a few days,
and left Tuesday- on the Kronprlns Wil
helm for Germany, whence they will go to
their castle In Bavaria.
"In Germany," explained the countess,
"we try to please our American and for
eign travelers. I know that many Ameri
can women smoke in public dining rooms
when they are abroad, and It Is surpris
ing that they are not allowed to do the
same at home. But, despite the fact that
I had to give up my cigarettes after meals,
I enjoyed my visit to America."
The Countess Castell-Rudenhausen was
very enthusiastic over her first visit to
this country. She expressed particular
Interest In the American women and
their deep concern in the affairs of the
day, especially as pertaining to aeronautics
and the suffrage movement.
"It must be fine to sail through the air
In an airship," said the countess. "I ex
pect to have my first ride In a loftshiff,
as we call them, when I get back to Ger
many. I notice that the American women
have even planned to organize aero clubs
for women. We, too, are deeply Inter
ested In the aviation problems of the day.
We look forward to the successful con
quest of aerial navigation, only from a
practical standpoint, and as affording a
new field for pleasure. I feel sure that I
will enujoy my first flight."
Wanted a Weeplsg Whale.
Captain H. P. Nuse of the Celt to was re
galing a little group of ladles with sea
stories.
"One trip," he said, "there was a woman
who bothered the officers and me to death
about whales. Her one desire was to see a
whale. A dozen times a day she besought
us to have her called If a whale hove In
alght.
"I said rather Impatiently to her on af
ternoon: "But, madam, why are you so anxious
about this whale question?"

Materials of Many Kinds for Summer
EW YORK, July 24. Summer
evening frocks present even
greater variety than those de
signed for winter wear. The
simplest of lingerie or muslin
frocks Is available for sum
mer evening purposes provided It Is
daintily made and becoming, while on the
other hand extravagantly elaborate and
perishable creations of gossamer fabrics
adorned with hand work, lace, etc., are
worn for formal .summer evening functions
by those who need not count the coat.
For the young girl the simpler frocks
are, of course, the thing, and these may
be made costly trifles If one goes In for
hand work and real laces. Charming ef
fects may be obtained without such ex
pensive features.
The tub materials are first choice sheer
batistes and mulls and linons and or
gandies and cotton crepes and marqui
settes and nets. To be sure, moat of the
frocks will never approach a tub and will
not be made up with a view to the laun
dering, but at least they look the part,
and some practical mothers do have at
least a few of the daughter's dance frocks
of a sort that will stand tubbing. With
care and skillful pressing, however, a little
frock of this type, if worn only for even
ing, should keep Its freshness for a sea
son, or at least go through the season with
one cleansing.
Cotton nets and marquisettes In white or
pale tint finely embroidered In soutache
were much admired early In the season,
but soutache at laat seems to be losing a
little of Us vogue and the future for It la
doubtful. Fine tucking, inset laoes and
hand embroidery or the exquisite ready
made embrpldery bands, motifs, etc., are
the chosen trimmings, and ribbons and
flowers play a part in many of the frocks.
The model of our sketch, for example, was
fine creamy batiste, embroidered all over
In a tiny sprig and with a heavier em
broidered border. The lines of the frock
were of the simplest, the skirt slightly
full over Its clinging satin slip, having a
lower part still fuller ana joining the up
per skirt like a flounce, under a wide band
of pale green satin caught In front by a
wreath of small pink rosea. A second
satin band la set above this one and sim
ilar aatln and wreath trimming is applied
lo sleeves and girdle.
A certain abade of delicate green with
a faint daah of yellow In it la dellcloualy
cool In combination with cream or yellow
ish white, and In fact was Illustrated in a
Utile dancing frock of cream net turned
out by an uptown dressmaker. The forma
tion was of cream satin veiled In green
chiffon and the overdress of net was
trimmed In ruches of yellowish lace Into
which were tucked, here and there, little
knots of soft green satin. Cording held the
loose straight princess at waist line and
low hip line, though the cords did not
draw the material closely to the waist.
Cording was on the short sleeves and over
the shoulders and among the yellowl.a
lace on the front of the corsage one big
deep yellow rose was posed.
Another summer dancing frock from the
same maker waa In light blue silk mous

The Backyard BenaHfal.
Crusade for the establishment of muni
cipal health, breathing spaces and beauty
by the various betterment societies and
clubs will, it Is to be hoped, count among
their victories the resurrection of the city
garden, the acknowledged right of every
householder.' Aside from Its esthetic value,
saye ihn Delineator, no better way has
been found to dispose of the dallj( crop of
household cares and worries than to bury
them In the back yard, with bulb or seed,
before they bury us; to cool with a water
ing pot, while sprinkling thirsty plants,
the anger aroused by some real or fancied
Injustice; to snip from our memory unkind
words, while shears are busy with withered
leaves and blossoms.
No homo worth the name should lack
its flowers, and an appreciation of their
value will make them possible, either in
the nneglected bit of ground below, up on
the roof, the window boxes, or In all three
places at once; for there cannot be too
many of them. The endlessly recurring
household duties, such as preparing vege
tables, darnlm; stockings, mending and
sewing on buttons, which lack the com
pensating creative element, are robbed of
their monotony and transformed into a
pleasure when performed in a little green
arbor. Flowers raised In our own little
yard seem to have a more delicious per
fume, and glow with more beautiful tints
than any others.
The most ugly back yard may be trans
formed Into a veritable Eden by the plant
ing of hollyhocks, castor beans or morn
ing glories near fence or shed to hide Its
unsightly spaces. These grow to useful
ness and beauty before the summer heat
makes one long for a green spot where
the cares and weariness of the day may
be forgotten. But he is a neighborhood
benefactor who makes his home premises
a source of envy, the gratification of which
Insures health and happiness and beauty.
One Feminine Kconomy.
Women's outfitters in New York City
make complaint that the Increase in auto
moblllng has hurt the trade In women's
clothing. It seems that the machine road
car has simplified to some extent the
problem of feminine garb. Smart people,
and people who seem smart, no longer
need to settle down at a fashionable
watering place and display a varied col
lection of ornate gowns, designed for every
period of the day. Nowadays, a woman
can flit hither and thither In an auto
mobile, attired In automobile costume.
Perhaps she may take with her two or
three simple gowns, suitable for appearing
In a hotel, and possibly one gown for even
ing wear. This Is equipment enough for a
season, and the saving may count some
thing against the maintenance of the ma
chine wagon. If this plan has been ac
tually adopted in practice to any great
egtent, It Is not surprising that city mer
chants have noticed the difference In ex
penditures. The economy may be needed,
moreover, for It Is a conjecture almost
superfluous that at least some of the gay
est users of the machine wagons feel
somewhat the cost of their pleasure.
Hainan Hair Fair In France.
The great human hair fair which has
just been concluded at Limoges, France,
has proved most emphatically that the
craze for false hair la not lessening, but
Increasing. Those peasants who have
abundant locks varying In shades from
black to golden and all tones of gray sell
their hirsute adornment at these fairs to
dealers who make It up into the puffs or

Hitherto o a pound for hair In ordinary
brown and dark shades was regarded by
the peasants as an excellent price and they
parted willingly with their locks at that
rate, but last year prices commenced to
rise little and this year they drove haid
bargains with the dealers and hair
dressers. Hair worth 15 previously rose to
$10 or $12 a pound, while golden locks
fetched $15, and the highest price of all
was obtained for a small quantity of stiver
white hair of fine texture, as much as $.5
a pound being paid for one lot.
Never before have the peasants reaped
such profits, and though there are many
shorn heads all through the country the
owners are happy In the possession of
nest eggs to help with the dowry or for
old age.
In England the puffs so vastly popular
for a year or more are being replaced by
the braid of colls of hair wound around the
head. False hair is Just as necessary for
tills coiffure as the other, for few wo
men have tresses long enough In this day
of curling irons and dyes to wind a plait
around their heads. With the loss of the
puffs comes also the decree of fashion
that waves should be abandoned. In fact,
English women are wearing the plainest
and severest of coiffures after an exag
geration of puffs, curls, waves, Jewelled
pins, ribbons and flowers that made heads
look out of all proportion to the necks and
shoulders beneath them.
Death In Dry Shampoo.
The Budden death of a society woman
during the process of having her hair
dry cleaned is causing the greatest con
troversy. London hairdressers protest that
this method of hair cleaning is abso
lutely safe, but doctors insist that the
woman was suffocated by the fumes of the
chemicals applied to the hair. It is said
that the tetrachloride of carbon, which
forms the basis of the cleanser used. Is far
too dangerous to be handled by hairdres
sers. It is allied to benzine, but resembles
chloroform in odor. It produces death
with an intervening period of anaesthesia.
It is likely that a law will be passed for
bidding its use, as the case of a French
actress, who was fatally burned during
the process, has been followed sj quickly
by the present case of suffocation as to
arouse much feeling regarding the dan
gers of the process.
Drawn Work for Table Linen.
The Japanese drawn work as a decora
tion for fancy table linens Is In good taste
and as such articles wear well and launder
easily many housekeepers prefer the drawn
work to any other kind of ornamentation.
These women, if their stock needs replen
ishing, should now make a raid on the bar
gain tables containing linens in the depart
ment stores, for there will be found an ac
cumulation of all the odds and ends left
over from the spring sales of table linen,
many of the pieces marked at half price
or less not perfectly fresh, of course, but
they need only a tubbing td make them
like new.

Irish lace Is much used for high stocks
with bows or rabats to match. But real

A rather novel note was Introduced In

place of the usual coronet of orange blos
some a lovely old seed pearl tlara was

neck and hung nearly to trio feet.
At a recent showing of girls' hats was a
broad brimmed shape trimmed with ex

popular style In an upright band and flat
loops, but disposed flat upon brim. The
ribbon, golden yellow, lined with white,
was brought over the edge of the brim at
the back In a quaint way, drawing it
right in against the hair. At the front
it was tied Into several quite big hard
knots to hold an upright rpray of yellow
roses standing up rather hlf;h.
A girl who had to travel much on dusty
street cars found she needed to have her
head shampooed less frequently and kept
her scalp much cleaner by willing it each

Is parted from the temples to the back of
the nock and the scalp rubbed thoroughly
with the towel; then a new part Is made
and the process repeatedly until the entire
head lias been gone over. After the scalp
treatment is finished the hair is brushed
with a moderately stiff brush, which Is
kept scrupulously clean. Another way to
keep the scalp clean Is to anoint It with a
little sweet oil about an hour or more be
fore the shampoo. The oil loosens the
Tragedy Shadows Romance.
HEN Nellie E. Lyle gave her
w
promise to James P. Barton in
Kansas City eight years ago
that she would become Mrs.
Barton he was strong and
rugged. About two years ago,
u""u '"0 Kansas City Star, he was In
jured in a cave-In In a tunnel the United
States government Is building in Wyom
ing. Since then he has lain In the Eleanor
Taylor-Bell Memorial hospital In Rosedale
with both legs and his back broken. Four
Inches .of his spinal column had to be re
moved. Miss Lyle has been constant, and
Mr. Barton desired to reward her. Hi.
life is insured for 12,000 and he decided
that in the event of his death the woman
who has remained true to him should be
benefited. ,
A flutter of excitement among the nurses
at the south entrance of the Eleanor Taylor-Bell
hospital a little before 8 o'clock
Sunday night announced the arrival of the
"bridal carriage," an ambulance. In a few
minutes two hospital orderlies came out
with the ambulance basket containing the
groom. His conventional black suit was
In marked contrast with his pale face and
the white pillows plied about him. The
brWe, a little woman, all In white, fol
lowed and sat beside him In the ambulance.
Then the nurses' faces became very
solemn as the brldgroom thanked them for
their kindness to him In the two years he
had been at the hospital and bade them
goodbye. The door was closed and the
driver mounted his box. Then someone
threw a sack of rice. The spell was broken.
A ripple of merriment from the nurses and
a weak, but good-natured voice from
within the ambulance called back to them,
"No Jokes."
Carefully the driver took the ambulanoe
down the steep hill from the hospital to
the undertaker's chapel on the Southwest
boulevard at the State Line. . The basket
was carried In and a little crowd of hos
pital attendants and townspeople followed.
George H. Cooke, a Rosedale Justice of the
peace, was waiting.
Inside the little chapel the Justice talked
a few minutes In a low voice with the
bride and groom. Then the bride and the
Invalid clasped hands and In a few mo
ments the Justice was saying the words
that made them man and wife.
When he came to the words, "In slcknsss
or in health," the voice of the magistrate
faltered. But the congratulations followed
so quickly that no one observed that
And when the women kissed the bride
and the men shook the bridegroom's hand
and wished them well somehow everyone
present knew that they meant It.
"We are taking a Missouri Pacific train
for Coffeyvllle, Kan.," Mrs. Barton said.
"We Intend to stay with a cousin of Mr.
Barton there awhile and then go on south.
The doctors say that sunlight and air will
have a great deal to do with Mr. Barton's
condition.
"Of course, he will always be an In
valid. Because he was Injured In govern
ment work he has been advanced some
money by the federal authorities and ix
pects some more. But we don't care so
much about that. All we desire is to keep
him where he will do best and where I
can care for him."
Miss Lyle's father Is a farmer, Carl Lyle,
living near Moberly, Mo. Mr. Barton's
father lives near Mankato, Kan. The
bride and groom have been friends .lnce
childhood.
Matrimony Across the Border.
Cupid laughs at bouodary lines as well
as at locksmiths. New Jersey became the
Cretna Green of flitting bridal couples
aftet the enactment of marriage license
laws In the states of Pennsylvania and
New York. A similar condition In the state
of Washington Is sending American
couples across the 1 northern border Into
British Columbia to have tied the knot of
matrimony. That Is shown by the fact of
llii marriages of nonresidents In one week
In the city of Victoria, with a population
of only 30,0fO. The clergymen there are as
jrosperous as those of Camden and Jersey
City, across Ihe rivers from Philadelphia
and Manhattan. Dally steamers from geat
tle make these wedding Journeys almost
as convenient as the feiry trip, acroa. the
Hudbon or the Delaware river.. One Cam

that you have reached the advanced

Mae McC. : Blackheads are sometimes
slow to yield to treatment, but I feel sure
that If you use faithfully a cream Jelly
made as follows you will find relief: Get
from your druggist 1 ounce of almozoMi
and put It In a half pint of cold water to
which you have added 2 teaspoonfuls of
glycerine, then stir briskly for a few
minutes and let stand until It becomes
thick. Massage your face with It and It
will thoroughly cleanse the pores and the
dust and grime will roll out and off the
skin. This tends to make large pores
small and prevents tho return of black
dandruff, cleanses the scalp and greatly
adds to the results of the shampoo.

"Three Jolly Girls:" A shampoo should,
be a delight, not a torment. If tho cleans
log Is done thoroughly a shampoo every
two or three weeks Is all that Is required,
no matter bow heavy tho hair nor how
dustv the occupation. I know of nothing
better than plain canthrox for shampoo
ing purposes. Any beauty specialist will
give you a canthrox shampoo, but If you
prefer to have It at home Just get a pack
age of canthrox from your druggist and
dissolve a teaspoonful in a teacup of hot
water. Then take your shampoo by
pouring the mixture on the hair and rub
ling In well. It will cleanse the scalp
thoroughly and leave the hair soft and
fluffy. I asked one of my girl frlemls to
whom I recommended canthrox how she
found It. Her answer was, "Oh, my, I
never saw anything like It- It made a
whole tubful of lather."
