She had been the victim of some mistake, his lovely and ever kiruilx disposed daughter, and while the loss was irreparable, he would never make it unendurable bj thinking otherwise Such was the father s way of looking at the matter, and I own that it made our duty a trifle hard.

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites A Pretty Girl's Tricks of Beauty By DOROTHY JARDON. I AM too bashful to make any real claim to great beauty, and while I am very much flattered to be put In this series. I am afraid that I have no secrets of beauty, and no magic formulas, or creams, to enhance my looks, but, like every girl in her right mind, I want to look as pretty as pos sible, and there are lots of little ways and tricks which make one appear more attractive than one really- is. This may be deceitful, but. anyhow, It s feminine, and I know that every other girl will sympathize with me in the desire to -pretty up,” and perhaps some of them will profit by my sugges- Hons. When I am dressing to go out I al ways remember that the front view of myself which I get in the mirror is the best, because I have taken the most pains with that, but that there Is also a back view, a view of yellowish neck and straggling hair, of a collar that might be cleaner, or a veil that is torn, and when I think of all the belts that don't connect, my hand instinctively goes to my own waist line. 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. Os course, when you»are on the stage you get rather hardened to that sort of thing, though, in general, actresses are thank ful to (lean the paint off their face, and 1 don't think they use as much paint on the street as do the people who never saw the footlights except from the two-dollar side. My strong objection to using powder on the street is that one never gets it on tight. An Ugly Sight. Going to rehearsal this morning, I counted the number of faces that were badly powdered, with perfectly evident traces of badly applied make-up. There were 45 in two blocks When a woman gets to a certain age I suppose she may do as she likes, but giris wouldn’t use heavy whitemast on their faces if they knew how much old er they looked, and how drawn and dry the skin appears under the coating 1 of powder. if one is going to use powder, however, there should be a law making every woman put on her powder by a very strong light, and be sure and powder the back of the neck and behind the ears quite as re ligiously as the nose and chin. The only way you can be sure the buk of your neck is quite the same color as the front of it is by using al cohol on it after you have bathed in the morning. Keeping the neck clean is a trick which even very (lean per sons sometimes forget. Now that we are wearing one-piece dresees, we don't see so many gaping belt lines and safety pins. But not evi ry girl has caught the trick of wearing her clothes as if they were comfortable, and I think that is a nec essary factor In the art of looking pret. ty- They tell me at the Long Branch Horse show that the display of clothes was perfectly gorgeous, but that m,ost of the boxes were empty because the girls couldn't sit down. Now, I can't imagine that these beautifully dressed people looked comfortable or serene, and 1 think that frocks which make one physically- uncomfortable detract immensely from one's looks, no matter how pretty they may be. Lots of girls have the trick of fuss ing constantly with their hair or run ning their fingers over their faces, fum bling their chins or generally feeling to , see if the collar or dross is all right.

(Prima donna of "The Winsome Widow” company at Ziegfeld’s Moulin Rouge.) These things get to be a terrible habit, and they are not becoming to-the aver age girl, and seriously detract from iter looks. Queer Habits. 1 know one girl who rubs her finger up and down her nose whenever she is perplexed or thinking seriously about something. She doesn't know how queer it looks, but I have seen her do it on al! kinds of occasions, and often it is quite a ludicrous perform ance; besides that, she draws attention to her nose, which is already long enough. Another girl pinches her nostrils. I don't know whether she thinks that is conducive to serious thought, but it certainly looks odd and makes her nose red. When I was a little girl I went to school with a girl who winked. She did it as a trick, and occasionally made us envious by looking cross-eyed. We all tried to do as she did, and 1 became addicted to w inking to such an extent that severe punishment was inflicted upon me ( to make me stop. Fortunate ly, I never did accomplish the feat of looking cross-eyed, but to this day I'll pick up any folish little mannerism, and after I've been to see one of our pet star actresses it takes me weeks be fore I can cure myself of the habit of smoothing up my back hair, which is one of her tricks of manner. Like 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. In our profession it is difficult to get either, unless you are fortunate enough i in the house. Geenyuses is a grand thing, sed Ma. & every woman, ree- 1 gardless of color, likes geenyus vary much if her husband is a plumber or some craftsman. If her husband hap pens to be the geenyus. that is! differ ent already, as a German wud say yet. 1 had a grand time out thare, sed Pa. 1 was going to have you & littel Bobbie go along.

But you doant understand, sed Pa. I am living in the city here for a cer tain purpose, wich 1 can not di-yulge for awhile yet. Some of these days the whole thing will cum out, & then nobody will say that 1 have made a mistake. If anybody ewer says that you made a mistake, sed Ma, I wud like to make a nice littel bet that it wont be you that says it Jest then the door bell rang & in eaim a German fiend of Pa's that Ma doesent like. It is funny that Ma dosent like him on account of him beeing a trend of Pa. If I was a mar- I vied lady I wud like my husbands: trends. Good evening, folks, sed Pa s fiend.

And girls on the stage, like girls in business, eat ail 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 he 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 ver lookin' at me for?” he asked, in idle curiosity. “Think I’m a long-lost cousing?” “No,” replied the maid, cooly; “but I must say you remind me 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?

THERE are few ties he can take up after he passes 60 that do not become complications. Time begins to fly so fast with him he wonders when he takes off his clothes at night why he went to the trouble of putting them on in the morn ing. He grows surprised when he goes to church to find how many near his own age are falling asleep during services. He reads the death notice of a friend —with fear, if the friend is a few years younger: with a feeling of assurance if the friend ie a few years older. 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 discovers that his wife, who is his junior, is getting old at least fifteen ——You do not eat the right food YOUR bodies are ill=nourished because you feed them on foods that they cannot get the good out of.

He begins to associate the change of 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 lie 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.
