- FASHIONS IN BEAUTY.
- Is the type of beauty changing? Is
delicacy of feature old-fashioned? And
is it gradually becoming modish to
have rather thick features, a com
plexivz so fat as to approach the
very reverse of the joy of life? Is
dulness like a canker eating into our
‘very tastes and affecting our appre
hension of the beautiful?
I ask you all these questions because
of a visit I paid not long ago tc the
studio of a fashionable protrait-paint
er. A few faces there were of the mig
non type, sweat in expression and neat
of nose. But all the most admired of
modern women were very different
indeed. There was a lady of the lyric
stage whose features can be described
only by the word flat. She is a Paris
celebrity, but enchants music-hall Lon
don now and then with her particuiar
form of art. There is no denying her
charm. The difficulty lies in analyz
ing it. What kind of soul looks out
from those apparently almost lifeless
eyes? The stolidity of expression is
almost inconceivable. The lips are
like those of the women of ancient
Egypt, large, thick, and yet with some
vague, if sensuous, charm about them.
The chin is solid, firm and masculine.
One can imagine men obeying the
owner of that chin. One could never
picture her obeying any one. A smile
would wonderfully transform the face.
But it is not easy to imagine it curv
ing into a smile. ,
Is this the coming type? It almost
seems so. Such a woman as she whem
I have been trying to sketch would
never trouble herself to ask “Why?”
about anything and her aaswer ,to
@very question would be “Because,” a
sufficient reason to ‘any one who un
derstood her.—lLiondon Truth,
TO REMEMBER.
Sleep nine hours. :
. Rest after luncheon.
Don’t bathe when very tired.
Don’t bathe soon after eating.
If thin, massage the face gently.
If too plump, a firm pressure is
better.
Use some good cold cream with the
massage.
A thorough cleansing should precede
message.
Gentie, thorough hair brushing
should be indulged in twice a day.
If hair brushes be cleansed daily
and the scalp massaged the hair and
head will keep clean much longer.
If in addition to scalp massage we
give our hair a soft rubbing with the
palms#of our hands it will be much
more silky. '
The eating of fruit which is neither
green nor over-ripe, combindd with
the drinking of plenty of pure water,
is a great thing fer aaybody.
After disagrseable tasks the hands
will not suffer if thoroughly cleanzed
(with acids if necessary), and then
treated to cold cream and soft gloves.
Regularity in the taking of whoie
some meals would do much toward
beautifying some persons who never
‘have time to conduct their affairs
‘methodically.—Philadeiphia Record.
PRINCESSES OF THE RED CROSS.
Women in Japan, from the highest
to the lcwest ranks, are taking an ac
tive hand in the work of the various
war-time aid societies that are earing
for the Mikado’s soldiers in the field
and in hospital. It is an interestiag
fact, says William Dinwiddie in Harp
er's Weekly, that all the Japaaese
princesses of royal blcod are enlisted
among the members of the Red Croszs.
Mr. Dinwiddie is one of the Weekly's
apecial correspondents in the Far
East, and he has had special oppor
tunities for studying affairs in Japan.
Speaking of the work of the royal
members of the Red Cross, he tells of
seeing, almost any day, a dozen pria
cesses at work in the military hospital
making bandages and lint. The presi
dent of the Ladies’ Patriotic Society
is no less a personage than Her Im
perial Highness Princess Kanin. -
REST FOR WEARY MOTHERS.
As the health of a nursing infant
depends largely upon the health of
the mother, it is very essential, as
has been stated before, that no great
strain, physical or mental, should be
put upon her, and that she should
have a certain amount of rest and
mental diversion. To this end it is
advisable, as early as possible, which
means as sooa as the baby is well
started and gaining in weight, to give
ons bottle feeding of .diluted cow’s
milk once in twenty-four hours. It is
usually safe to commence this feeding
at the end of a month, ?d it is best
to give the milk quite diluted for the
first two or thres days, say, one part
of milk to four parts of water, until
the stomach becomes accustomed to
the chaage of food.—Harper’s Bazar.
GIRLS OF NEW ORLEANS.
Poets and lovers of New Orleans will
tell you that the girl of the Southern
city getls her pale, creamy complexion
from the magno’ias that bloom in such
profusion; her grace and languid ease
of motion from the thousands of wav
ing palms; the dusk of her eyes and
hair from the wondrous tropical beau
ty of the Southsra nights; her voice
from the whispering of the zephyrs
and the changeful scng of the mock
ing bird. Much of her health, says a
writer in the National Magazine, is
undoubtedly owing to the fruit she
eats; oranges like globes of greenish
or russet gold into whose flavor has
entered the perfume of the most de
licious flowers in the fruit world, figs
which are flowers, purple without, rosy
within, “watermelon” whose cool col
ors are as refreshing on a summer
day as the draught that comes from
its erimson heart.
TELLTALE GRAINS OF RICE.
Here is a lesson that all persoas
who make 'pretensions should take to.
heart. A woman who was invited to a
fashionable wedding did not think her
two spring hats quite good enough to
cope with the Paris creations that
would prevail. So the undaunted wo
man called at a milliner’s and selected
a costly affair of lace, which she had
charged to her account. Of course her
idea was to wear it to the wedding and
returned it the next day. Her hat
was vastly admired. She glibly s=aid it
ccst a mere $50,” and enjoyed the ef
fect the price produced on her friends.
Unfertunately she got in the way of
the shower of rice that was hurled at
the happy couple. The next day she
returned the ‘“hat-on-credit.”” The day
foliowing she was asked to-call on the
milliner, and was confronted with the
question. “Didn’t you wear this un
satisfactory hat at a wedding yester
day?’ The unhappy woman denied it,
but finally broke down. “How did
you know?”’ she gasped. ‘“Well,” the
miiliner replied, “we found several
grains of rice in the folds of lace.”—

FASHION NOTES.
The 1830 or French blouse is the
latest idea in black taffeta coats.
Panama cloth is a well-liked stuff
for the separate skirt.
While shirrings are very fashionable
they are not so effective for wash ma
terials as for wool or silk.
While pronounced color contrasts
are not in favor in this szason’s gowns
excellent cffects are produced by just
a touch of a centrasting tint.
COMPLEXION AND INSANITY.
Fewer Blondes Than Brunettes in
State Insane Asylums.
“Several months ago I happened
across a pamphlet published by the
government of a southern state in
which were some interesting statistics
regarding the complexion of the in
mates of the State Insane asylum,”
Mr. Hobart Langdon said. “Only 3
percent of the total had. light hair
and only 2 percent blue eyes. :
“It struck me as a rather curious
fact that dark haired and dark eyed
people should so largely predominate
among the insane, but the matter of
latitude might play some part in this,
I thought; for naturally there were
more dark than light haired people in
that section. Just as a matter of
curiosity, however, I thought I would
write to asylum authorities in certain
other parts of the country to see what
the ratio of light haired inmates was
to those who were dark, and expected
to find the percentage increase in
communities where the total of light
haired was larger, but in this I was
mistaken; so I am led to infer from
the statistics I gathered that there is
a greater possibility for insanity
among dark haired than among light
haired people. '
“My figures were obtained from 68
asylums, located in nearly every state
in- the Unicn, and a few in Canada
and England. The total number of
patients in these institutions was 16,
512, of whom 703 had light hair and
only €6 red or auburn locks. In other
words, 96 percent of the inmates were
brunettes, with either black or brown
hair, the latter in varying shades. In
one asylum in New England there was
not a single inmate that was not a
brunette.. Of course, I do not know
how to account for this, for I am not
a specialist in such matters and only
secured the statisties out of pure curi
osity, but it certainly looks as though
blondes were less liable to insanity
than those with darker hair or eyes.
“Another peculiar feature about the
facts I obtained, however, was that
the percentage of those regarded as
incurably insane was much greater
among the blondes than among the
brunettes. The totals show that among
the dark haired inmates only 53 per
cent were marked hopelessly insane,
while among the blondes 81 percent
were put in this category, and that
only three among the red haired pa
tients escaped the same classifica
tion.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Land of Paper.
The Japanese use pnaver at every
moment. The string with which a
deft-handed “darling of the gods” does
up the articles you buy is made of pa
per. The handkerchief (thrown away
after use) is paper, the partitions di
viding the houses are paper, and the
pane through an indiscreet eye looks
at you is paper! The pane is certain
ly wanting in transparency, but there
is a simple remedy.. One finger is
passed through the paper—that is all!
Afterward a small piece is stuck on
tha ovening with a grain of rice. The
men’s hats, the cloak of the porter
who carries his burden, singing a ca
dence, through the rain; the garment
of the becatman who conducts you on
board, the tobacco pouch, cigar case—
all are naner! Those elegant flowers
ornamenting the beautiful hair of the
Japanecse ladies, and those robe col
lars which are taken for crape—paper!
Administering Ether.
The most common mistake made by
beginners in the administration of
ether is that of forgetting to lessen the
proportion cf the substance when full
gnaethesia is established—that is, con
tinuing to make their patients respire
an atmpsphere as highly charged with
its vapors as when getting them under
its influence. It is a matter of sur
yrise to physicians how very little
other will often suffice to keep a pa
tient well under the influence toward
the clese of an operation, and this
small cuantity will always postpone
vomiting until the operation is com
pleted.—Medical Review.

The Vast Power of Victoria Falls.
At Niagara the total amount of en
ergy running to waste has been reck
oned at 7,000,000 horse power, but
the corresponding energy of the Vie
toria Falls is said to be no less than
35,000,000 horse power. When util
ized, it is thought that this energy
can be employed for working a large
part of the South African Railway,
and that it can be transmitted by
cable to the gold mines of the Rand,
300 miles and more away.
