The doctors say that its condition is caused by germs from frequently handled bills. Just now there seems to be an un- common amount of dirty money in eirctilation, and, if It really endangere limb and ‘lifa the summer girl tad better keep it out of her stocking. Which suggests, once more ,the query, “Where do women—where CAN wo- men—keop their money?” Neal O'Hara says that a fortune @waits the person who can invent a keg-size pocket for residents of the State of Maine tn the vicinity of the ‘Canadian border. Another fortune is &t the disposal of the individual who can devise a money-size pocket for women, which will be safe, accessible to the wearer and inconspicuou! Just now, women's skirts and even their coats’ are inade, with pockets. But does any woman keep her money therein? Not unless she is the sort “Who would go into a 6 o'clock sub- way rush wearing a diamond eun- burst. For the lirge, exceedingly ob- vious pockets plastered on the front of one’s white linen skirt, or. just be- Yow the belt of the coat to one's tail- ored @uit, can be burgled py a child. No Woman with any sense carries any object more valuable than a handkerchiet in these apparently roothy receptacles. And besides—aa tailor or dressmaker will tell you— these pockets are not meant to be used, Carrying in them anything the size and weight of a purse is sure to make them sag or bulge, and spoil the “set” of the garment. Nine women out of ten carry money in the inevitable handbag af cloth, leather, beads or mesh, which has become as much a part of a woman's costume as her skint or her corsets, Men laugh at the handbag, pointing out how easily the clasp may be sprung open or the handles cut by a ickpocket !n a New York crowd. it necessity is the mother of inven- tion, and the woman who habitually must carry money in a handbag through crowds has learned to put a firm and protective grip OVER the clasp, with tho bandie of the bag resting on ber arm instead of in her hand. Nothing short of a straight-out tug, with plenty of muscle behind it, can get her handbag or its contents away from her when she holds it in this fasbion. “Carry your money in TWO places,” the far-seeing and cautious mother of aunt invariably tells her girls. “Keep what you want for immediate use, in- cluding your change, in-your hand- bag. But always place at least one bill in a smail bag—one made of chamois-skin can be bought for 10 cents—and carry it’—well, here coun- sels divide. Some mothers suggest that the bag be pinned or tied under the stocking, just wbove or below the knee. Others advise pinning the “emergency fund” just inside the top of the corset, in front. ‘This location is satisfactory if your blouse or dress fastens in front, but is rather annoy- ingly inaccessible if you happen to be wearing one of the newest blouses which fastens in the back. The idea back of this procedure is thet if your handbag is lost or stolen you will not be left without curfare home or—if you are travelling—ftunds to pay for a telegram home and, if necessary, an overnight hotel biil, “Carry my pur8e FOR me, 4éar,” a woman often says to her husband when they are going out together. That is, provided he 1s a trustworthy husband, and provided she wants a purse for any purpose when he is along to pay the bills. 1 have heard of a money-bag of heavy canvas, with a strap and a clasp, which can be strapped about 4 woman's waist ahd which is big enough to hold cohsiderable sums of money—-~such sums as she night be collecting, or taking to the bank. That method of carrying money would be safe—if not ornamental, or pted to best clothes and formal occasions. I_never knew a woman to carry money In the crown of her hat, but I don't see why a roll of pills could not be placed there in perfect safety, if the hat were pinned securely on the head. And now that fashion places a belt or a sash on every costume, smal! pockets for money could be fastened on the inside of the girdle, somewhat 4s & man’s money-belt is arranged Once upon a time it didn’t matter where a woman kept her money, for the simple reason that she rarely had any to keep. Now that an ever in- creasing number of women t@ con- necting with pay envelopes, a safe and convenient place to put them is needed imperatively. Whd will invent or discover it?

If by chance a landsman should be with them in such a discussion they are careful to explain first of fll that a yacht race is not only a test of models but of seamanship, ‘or the manner of handling # boat, and finally of men; for while a boat may be handled exactly according to Neptuhe’s rules one crew may be, and usually is, slower than the other, And then they say that in the race in question the Yankee crew rather than the Yankee boat won. This is a matter of importance, here, becuuse the shaping of hulls for swift sailing was then in a tran- sition state, ‘The original Yankee model—the skimming dish with @ centre board to keep her nose up to windward-chad received some rude knocks from the deep-hulled English cutter model,,and even though the two typical English cutters, Genesta and Galatea, had been beaten, by the Americans, there were many who be- Neved that the ultimate model would have much more depth than any American designer had as yet used. And among those who believed in more depth was Nathaniel 5 Herreshoff, who designed the Vigil- ant, the American defender. On the other hand the English designer, George L. Watson, had come to see that breath of beam gave stability in a way not to be ignored, The Vigilant was the first of our big keel boats, but she also carried a centre board, while the Valkyrie was unquestionably something of an ap- proach to the American broad model, The two yachts met four times « fore the notable race, At th first meeting the wind was insufficient to bring them home within the tim mit of six hours. The next meet was in light air from W by N and the two therefore sailed away before the gentle gale to a turning point fiftee: miles out to sea. After crossing ta line the two were close together for @ time, when the wind changed @ bit—drew ahead and the Vigilant got the best of it before it reached tie Valkyrie. She thus obtained an ad vantage which, in such a wind, the challenger was unable to overcome. In the third meet ‘a smoky sou'wester" was blowing, and in the triangle race that followed the Amer jean boat won on every leg, though she sprung her bowsprit by carrying on during the second leg and had to put 4n a new one for the next race, Another light air failure was now to be endured, but on Friday, Oct. 13, history of the cup was seen, It was a cloudy day and a heavy-—rather say mugey—breeze was coming out of the eaat. At 11 o'clock in the morning the actual speed of the wind was fifteen knots, which was a-plenty for a pip: ing race, but that speed was steadily growing and what was of more im- portance, there were unmeasurable flaws and even squalls at intervals which added to the thrill which every sailor felt as he watched the two huge racere slicing through the seas a-lee of the starting line. To add to the interest {t was soon seen that the Valkyrie was in trouble, A sheave in one of her throat halliard blocks had given way. That accident proved the power of the wind, Of course it Was necessary to give her time to replace the block. Then when she was ready the centre bourd of the Vigilant jammed and another poslpopemen!

At 12.27 o'clock the gun on the committee boat boomed. Nat Herreshoff, who was sailing the Vig- ilant, had placed her in a weather position, but Capt. Cranfield of the Valkyrie turned his ship sharp on her heel, gained the wind and stood up across the line at 12.27.09, leaving the Vigilant to follow nine’ seconds Certainly the Englishman won honors, but that was only the nning of the tension upon the stafaring spectators. For now the Wind was piping out of the east at not less than twenty five miles an hour, every wave broke into a foaming crest, the spray leaped up to wet the sails far above the deck, while the Valkyrie at overy plunge into froth opened out the apace by which she had beat the American defender to the line. Worse yet, the wind hauled to a point to South'ard and the change, of course, favored the boat in the So for two hours or thereabouts the crack Englishman showed a clean pair of heels to an agitated crew of Yankees, and then after coming to the port tack he rounded the turn and squared away for the home line at 2.82.40, with the Vigt lant five seconds less than two min utes ahead. But now a change was at hand As the Valkyrie rounded the stake she dropped her spinnaker pole to windward, shook out the half reef that had been carried to the mark, hoisted the sall and then began lift ing her spinnaker in English fashion —all flying—to stretch it from truck to pole end. ‘The Yankees too were working, but in different fashion. As the Vigilant made the turn a number of men were seen in slings above the main boom casting off the reef points at a rate that was cheer- ing to all patriotic Americans. As the spinnaker pole was brought to its bearings ttiese men dropped to. gether to the deck and tailed on to main hallyards to sweat up the big sail and then they ran to the spin- maker hallyards and hoisted away; but no flying sail did they bring to view On the contrary, they stre of that day, from the truck to the end of the spinnaker pole. the driving gale, alas for the flying set! tering breadth of canvas came out of As the flut- which made'‘a tiny rent a sail was hoisted to the mast hi smoking squall c the ballooning ¢: nvas caught on ihe whole vast ripped into a hundred pi was dragged down and a filmy spi- naker, built was hoisted in the hope that it wot serve; but all In vain gale caught it the excited spectators a rent appear near the head of the sail and then it, too, went smok- A balloon jib was then lifted from the locker for use as a spinnaker, and this time the canvas held fast in place. much time had ‘been As the fierce mean time the Vigilant Yanke balloon jib where It would catch as much of the gale as slipped past the spinnaker; they had set a club top had carried to th had swept down th was more than could make with her diminished sii), And so ag the time passed th turn and they eas at a speed plucky Englishman forty seconds, rected time, men and methods as w The English method of setting their sils flying was wr to add that that crew was not quite as alert as the onc The result was a triumph of men ¢ not of models. 11 as of models.
