IIiiitIiiihii left iIh mighty fortune, renl and pei poiuiI. unbroken by so much ii m a tiny bequest, to tils wife, who was Mary AmtII: of ItuchcstcT. N. Y. It Is her to nic or to hold, hem to divide or retain IiiI.h I. 'hers to low or to Increase. Hut to a wo'iinii of Mrs. I Ian IniHii'n tem perament, ill.-dnetly feminine; above nil Ih in km " devoted wife nnd mother, the burden of managing Hiuh a foitunc would prove beyond hr strength, especially In Jier first hours of gil f. for a happ.er couple th. in Mr. and Mis. Ilarrlnian naa seldom Been. The Husseil Shrc fortune is managed by a syndicate or committee, working under Alia. Sage's directions to tarry out every wish of the one-time wizard of Wa I street. The llaiiiman fortune promises to be man aged In rry much the name way, but by Individuals appointed by the widow. The eldest son, Walter Averill Harriinnn, Just out of college, la studying practical jallroading In order to safeguard the family's enormous railroad holdings. Cornelia, the eldest daughter. Is married to Itobcil 1.. Gerry, and Is a gentle, Wcmanly type, willing to leave all bust Iiiss responsibilities renting upon the shoulders of her husband, a son of Com modore Eldrldge T. (Jerry. Miss Carol, the fourth child, Ih Just out of her teens, her debut in society deferred by her father's unfortunate death, while Roland, the fifth child, is preparing for college. This leaves the second daughter, Mary, the real rock of strength upon which tlie mother will lean in currying out her liusbbnds's wishes. And Mury llarriman will turn her buck on social conquests, on tlie pleasures which wealth can buy, on her many civic and philanthropic, In terests, to help her mother carry the burden and administer the expenditure of a fortune of upward of $60,000,000. This girl, who will touch in a dozen ways the fortunes of the family. Is of medium height, admirable carriage, with determination written in every line ot face and figure. She has a clear olive complexion, regular but not striking fea ture)), dark brown hair and eyes a triflo lighter. Jn speech she is incisive, often abrupt. She reaches conclusions quickly and often makes mistakes which she is alow to admit, but quick to undo, dis playing resourcefulness rather than great caution, a fault which time, with great responsibility, will eliminate. Un the other hand she is intensely practical and business-llk", always Just and fair. She has inherited much of her father's indomitable spirit and marvellous capac ity for securing results, while her sisters have the more domestic and social traits of their mother. Mrs. llarriman was regarded by all who knew her as an ideal wile, helping her husband by saving his nervous strength and sparing him all petty domestic annoy ances. In the administration of household and social affairs It has always been to the daughter Mary that eh turned for practical help. It was Mary who audited Hccounta and cut down bills and O. K'd statement for the dead financier! final inflection and payment. In the last hard light for the life of husband and father it was Mary's resourcefulness and practical ability which never failed the brave wife. And iibw it Is Mary whose will and. execu tive ability have taken th helm in the mountain retreat of the Harrlman family, Mary llarriman ha been trained well for her task. Hers ha been essentially an outdoor life, which account for her per fect health, her dear eye, her fine com plexion, a well as her steady hand. Want m Winter Campers Every winter more and more women are going north to camp in the pine woods and to hunt moose and deer during the snowy season, reports the Duluth News. Tula la not so much of a handicap a it sounds. In tho first place the cold, al though in some case 80 degree below sero, 1 a dry cold, and therefore exhilara ting and not depressing; secondly, moose and doer are far easier to track and over take when the snow is on the ground, as they cannot move so fast. Then, too, camping in a log cabin is a much snugger arrangement than in a tent, and there are far worse things than eating hearty camp cooking done over a roaring fire when the snow is so cold it sing under your feet and appetites are ot tlie keenest. Women will not mind the cold any more than men if they dress properly for It, and right here let it be said that skirts are en tirely out of place. They are no protection against cold wind or dampness. The proper costume Is one of blanketing or chamios, or even waterproof wool tweed, but made with loose knickerbockers, and knee or lilp ''boot. These should be lined with fur or felt, and a woollen union suit and stocking should be worn. A great coat lined with squirrel or opossum, or a uiuskrat fur coat is also good for very cold days, but the test thing is to wear m chamois or fur lining to the half-fitted Jacket or the suit, as a long fur coat i a clumsy thing when hunting. The woman camper should take plenty of cold cream, but no other adjuncts to beauty except a pair of old gloves to wear at night over her vaseline-rubbed hands. She will find a man's fur cap with car flaps the most comfortable for wear, and she should remember that she Is going into the north woods for health and solid man's sport and should dress accordingly and take things as they come cheerfully and like a good fellow. Price uf Women's Hats. The importance of feminine headgear is an old story In muny lauds, relate tho American lteglster of Loudon, but In pone is it more interesting than in Fiance, where from time Immemoriul the women of all classes seem to have given it their particular attention. The Kmpress Eugenie and the Princess Mathllde, It is well known, were never women to waste money on frivolities such as poufs seiitlmentales, although the de scendant of Worth, tit first man dress maker In Paris, has many souvenirs of th Kmpress Kugeniu's patronugn of their house in Its early days. At that time $40 was a very high price to pay for a bonnet, ud In the records of a fasliionable woman of the day are the following details: A white straw bonnet trimmed with lavender ribbon and rosebuds, $'.); a wreath of roses for evening wear, $i.40. and a night cap of fine lace and lawn, $5.

RO of today, and it will be Been that tho In crease of late years is considerable. The feather hats ot lust season were sold for enormous prices, some being as much as )200, and none being- under $00; the most simple of morning hats run between IJ) and and an evening coiffure can quite easily mount up to HO. Yet It cannot be that material is to very much dearer, for the same old record tells us that broad satin ribbon cost from 3 cents to 10 cents a yard, while crepe (4. and feathers varied between 19 and fc.0. It must be, therefore, that ,the work girls are better paid than they were, and in this case we can have Holding to sayt unfor tunately, however, higher wages always create new wants, and there Is the same tory of poverty to be told all over again. The M sraKW-heet Helms. Mi.xs Jennie Crocker of Han Francisco Is tho real heiress of the west, and all other young women of money and millions are merely fractional luminaries, asserts tlie HoKton Herald. Mix Crocker has tl0.Uti.0UO, plus prohubly a mll luii or two more und suine pearl nec-klaces. Miss Crokcr inherited lO.OW.td'O iom the estate of her father, the late Fred Croker. On the death of her sister, Mrs. Mary Croker Harrison, she Inherited nearly 12,000,000, and now, from the estate of her uncle, George Croker, who died in New York last month, she will Inherit about J3.0sk.0U0. This makes $10,000,000 easily. Hut added to that Is the mutter of the increase, what tlie British parliamentar ians are now. In the ianguace of Henry Oeuigc, calling "the unearned Increment." Tho unearned and the hard earned incre ment of Miss Crocker's fortune Is several millions, fur the Crocker estate company shrewdly Invests 1U money where It will earn dividends, and the properties It holds In Pan Franclsoo and elsewhere are busy multiplying the fortune of the California heiress. So Miss Crocker can, afford to lose pearl necklaces with Impunity. Even If the necklaces were not found on the following day Mls Crocker could lose 300 of the baubles to the value of $30,000, Jewe's she mlbplHced a few months ago and rtlll have $1,0U0.0U) or so to Invest in polo poples and Ho.iton Terriers. Her brother, Charlen Templeton Crocker, Is practically as rich as is his sister. Ideal II owe Life la New Zealand. Tlie women all vote in New Zealand, and have done so for years, but they are beautifully feminine, nevertheless, declares a writer in Putnam's Magazine. They have a home life that Is Ideal and th. y belong to it. It is seldom that a woman speaks at a political meeting and when she does It usually transpires that, she is a visiting American or Kugllsh advocate. They say they are too busy with domestic affairs to caro to hold public offices, but no Vxj,... .; Jn the world are better lnformr-d on political affairs. They do no end of IMjlitical work among themselves, at elec tion time. In the way of party tea to win over doubtful votes. Every woman over 21, who has renlded in the electorate, has a vote, whether native or white, and uses It, as a rule. Lady Ward, wife of the premier, says that the reason the women of New Zealand have so much time for politics Is because they are not burdened with the philanthropic work of other nations. Hos pitals, veterans' homes and orphanages, chiefly governmental seem to afford all the relief required in a land without poor. Tho educational opportunities of New Zealand are not excelled anywhere, but co-education, even in the hiKh schools, is not popular. The professions are open to women and there are a lot of doctors and lawyers among them. Hut Lady Ward Is correct in saying that the women of New Zealand art) exceptionally feminine and the homes ideally domestic. Work for Hue Young; Woman. There Is no more exceptional educational Institution lit America than tlie Kerry schoo'. for mountain whites, near ltome, Ga., and yet the whole work grew out of a Utile Hunday school that M Ism Martha Berry established In the muuntaiiis near Possum Trot, Ga., less than ten years ago. At that time Miss Berry was residing on an estate which, according to Human Life, was all that was left of tlie fortune of the southern family Ui which she belonged. In taking her walks she was Impressed by the desolate condition of trie1 mountain children. Their parents, w ho wi re too poor to sup ply them with anything more than the barest necessities of life, and they were growing up In utter indifference to every thing pertaining to education. To remedy this to a small degree she Invited a num ber of them to meet her every Sunday at a little cabin she owned, and fliere under took to teach them a few ot the things they most needed to know. At the time Miss Berry had no thought of establishing a permanent school. In stead of being a temporary affair, how ever, the school soon made itself an in stitution practically without any effort on her part. So far as the chi dreti of tlie "poor whites" were concerned they not only crowded her cabin to more than its full capacity every Sunday but they finally came to her with tlie request that a day si hool be added. For a time It looked as if the move ment had come to a point beyond which it could not go, but finally Miss Berry screwed up sufficient courage to make a trip to the north that she might tell some of the rich philanthropies about her "poor white" boys and her mountain school. I ll was an Interesting story that she had to tell, and she told it so well that the went back to her pupils with funds sufficient not only to maintain tlie school, but to enlarge It. Today the school has 1,000 acres of land, much of' it under cultivation, and several flue buildings, In which fifteen teaches are .kept busy In structing the 150 pupils, not only in tlie studies of the ordinary school, but In the useful trades as well. Minn Berry Is now engaged In raising an endowment fund suf ficient to supiHirt it and had already se cured $25,000 each, from Andrew Carnegie and Mrs. Ituwll Sukc that About Women. Gertrude K. Curtis of Bradford. Pa.,-Is the first colored woman dentist. She passed the final examination in the Col lege of Uental Surgery, in Philadelphia, with high honors, and Intends to begin active practice without delay. She be lle.ves dentistry Is one of tlie best profes sions for women and has encouraged sev eral colored girls to take up the study. Mrs. Kady C. llrownell is the only regu larly enlisted woman In the I nlted Slates. She Joined the llifle Guards of Providence U. 1., by a special permit from Governor) SpraKtin, and. with her husband, went to the front in 1HM. Both husband and wife were in the battle of Bull Hun and Mrs Brownell was wounded. She is now the color sergeant of tlie United States Army Veterans of the Civil War, and her Kith birthday la to be celebrated this week at the Juinel mansion, ou Washington HelghU. '.V J
