A great many people talk against paint and powder, and I suppose every body agrees that young girls should not use make-up of any kind. <if course, when vou are on the stage you get I rather hardened to that sort of thing, 'hough, in general, actresses are thank ful to clean the paint off their face, and I don’t think they use as much paint on tile street as do the people who never saw the footlights except from tile two-doliar side. My strong objection to using powder! on the street is that one never gets it | on right. An Ugly Sight. doing to rehearsal this morning, 1 ; counted the number of faces that were badly powdered, with perfectly evident trace of badly applied make-up. There were 4, r > in two blocks When a woman gets to a certain age I suppose she may do as she likes, but girls wouldn't use heayv whitemast on their faces if they knew how much old er tliey looked, and how drawn and dry tin skin appears under the coating ot powder. If one is going to use powder, however, there should be a law making every woman put on her powder Ijy a very strong light, and lie sure and powder the ba< l< of the neck and behind the ears quite as re ligiously as lite nose and chin. The only way you can be sure the buck of your neck is quite the same color aS the front of it is by using al cohol <m it after you have bathed in tln morning. Keeping .the neck cican is a trick which even very clehn per sons sometimes forget. Xow that we ire wearing one-piece dresstes. we don’t see so many gaping belt lines and safety pins. But not every girl has caught the trick of wearing lur clothes as if they were comfortable, and 1 think that is a nec essary factor in the art of looking pret ty. i’ll y tell me at the l.ong Bramh Horse shoyy that th< of clothes yvas perfectly gorgec.us, but that most oi’ tli< box' ■ wet, empty becuu-e the girls couldn't sit down. Now, I can't imagine th ii these beautifully dressed people look'd comfortable or serene, and I think that frocks which make one physically uncomfortable detract I immensely from one’s I' ks, no matter hoyy pretty they may lie. Lots of girls have the trick of fuss ing constantly witlt their hair or lim ning their fingers over their faces, fum bling tlu ir el.itT’y or generally feeling to see if the collar or dress is all right.

These things get to be a terrible habit, and they are not becoming to the aver age girl, and seriously detract from her looks. Queer Habits. 1 know one girl who rubs her finger up and down her nose whenever she is perplexed or thinking seriously about someth.ing. She doesn't know how queer it looks, but I have seen her do it on <ill kinds of occasions, and often it is quite a ludicrous perform ance; besidi s tliat. -lie draws attention to her nosC, which is already long enough. Another girl pinches her nostrils. 1 don't know whether she thinks that is conducive to serious thought, but it certainly looks odd and makes her nose red. Win n 1 was a little girl I went to school «ith a girl who winked. She did it as a tri< k and occasionally made us envious by looking cross-eyed. We all tried to do as she did, and I became addicted to winking to sinh an extent that severe punishment was inflicted upon me to make me stop. 'Fortunate ly, I never did accomplish the teat of looking cross-eyed, but to this day I’ll pick up any folish little mannerism, and alter I've been to see one of our pet star actresses it takes me weeks be fore I can cute myself of the habit of smoothing up my back hair, which is one of her tricks of manner. l.ike all girls on the stage, I have found that two things which ruin one’s looks the most are lack of sleep and poor or badly selected food.

And girls on the stage, like girls in business, eat all kinds of queer foods, and make their lunch of pickles and pies and other beauty destroying combinations. I can't speak with authority about diet, but I am. sure that the very sim plest food is bound to be the best, es pecially when one is working and can not take care of a headache or the more serious troubles that come from eating indigestible meals. HE RAN NO RISK. The tramp sat, serene and dirty, on the back door step eating the break fast for which lie had whined, and the servant stood looking at him curiously. Presently the knight of the road ob served the attention she was paying him. “Wotter yer lookin' at me for?” he ajked, in idle curiosity. "Think I'm a long-lost cousing?” "No.” replied the maid, cooly; "but I must say you remind Yne of a man I useter know." “Sweetheart?" asked the tramp, coy. iy. "None of your business'." was the maid's retort. "But something hap pened to him which’ll never happen to you!” • "What's that? Died a millionaire, did he?"

If the years have done nothing else for him, they have changed his opinion of what constitutes a good time. He thought he was a bird away back there when he was young. He is now satisfied he is the worm. He may dye his mustache, but he would give his years away if he takes off his shoes the moment he gets home.

He begins to associate the change <>f the seasons with a change of under wear, and loses his enthusiasm. In looking backward, he begins to realize that he has wasted a terribly big pile of money in having a little bit of a good time. He begins to feel a deep gratitude to ward those who know him, and still like him. The number of times the hero in the novel saves the heroine doesn’t count for as much to him as the size of the type the story is printed in. He*would rather gossip about wick edness than engage in it. When he was young and didn’t know if he would hatch out a peacock or a goose, he had ambition to hatch out a peacock, and make a showing in the world. But now he is older, and real izes that he has hatched out a good deal of a goose: he is less ambitious and more charitable. He becomes a philosopher, and it is in philosophy that he finds his sole happiness.
