Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites A Test Tor Vanity as Well as For the Complexion ( \jwßL__ / MISS ZANA CURZON. (One of the beauties in Ziegfeld's "Follies of 1912” Company.) By ZANA CURZON. IF you can wear apple green without looking like a fright, you may be pretty sure you have a good com plexion, Apple green is the test of beauty, so far as skin and coloring go. I had an apple green dress once, and it was a perfect tragedy, for a whil'e, at least. 1 can say truthfully that apple green is the most unbecoming color in the world, unless you are one in a thou sand. and have a clear, white skin, and faint rose-colored cheeks, and look like the apple blossom which ought to hang on the apple green bough. This famous dress was presented to me by a relative, one of the kind who gives you the things that are popular at the moment, or that somebody else tells her would make appropriate gifts. I didn’t want a green dress, because I don't care for that color anyhow, and my heart ww.s set on a fur collar. But what can you do? You have to take what you get, though in some future existence I hope we will be allowed to choose our own gifts. A Fright in Green. The green dress came to stay, and not long afterward the giver paid us a visit. Naturally it was expected of me that 1 should wear the gown she had bought me, and I sacrificed myself and my vanity on the altar ,of gratitude and wore the green dress for the first time, though I had had it for several months and usually wear anything at once Well, in that dress 1 simply looked a fright. Billow’s of green chiffon and greener taffeta threw their ghostlike shadows and reflections on my face, and if I ever had any illusions about being a pretty girl I lost them on the minute. You have seen those plants that spring up tn the darkness of the cellar, potato shoots and pale, pathetic-look ing onion sprouts. I looked like across between those vegetables and the greenery-yellowry picture of a futurist painter. I could have cried, only that would have made my nose red. and I thought things were bad enough already. My heart was filled with rage at the giver of this dreadful frock, which showed up every one of the carefully hidden imperfections of my complexion and which even seemed to kill the color of my hair and eyes. 1 marched down Into the sitting room where the family were waiting for me like an indignant tragedy queen going to the scaffold. Families do not spare your feelings, and I can tell you that by the end of dinner 1 was doing every thing in the world to control my temper and my tears. They called he ' ghosty” and “green face" and n ade all kinds of unpleasant remarks about my sallow-looking com plexion. and 1 was glad when dinner was over, and I could escape to my room. I tore off the wretched green dress and settled down to have a good cry. There was a knock on the door, and the old cousin who had given me the frock came in. She was .all sympathy and sweetness, and remarked: "Well, my dear, I hope that you will profit by this little lesson.” "Lesson” What lesson can there be in making me look perfectly hideous?" I sobbed. "Several, as you will find.' she re turned. "I have been noticing for some time that you were thinking too much about your looks, and so 1 decided to show you that you greatly exaggerate them You have nice eyes, and hair, and good features, but. like a great many girls, you think that your com plexion is good because you covet ovet its defects with a little jtowder. which, by the way, is perfectly noticeable to every body The Lesson.

You will begin by giving away that box of candy that you have on your table, and I will send up a dish of fruit for you instead. Before breakfast I want you to drink a great Do You Know— The oldest newspaper in the world was one named The Wochenblatt, which was published tn Gruningen, a small town of some 1,200 inhabitants, in the Canton of Zurick, in Switzer land. It was the only newspaper in the place, and was at one and the same time the organ of the Liberal-Conser vatives and the Social-Democrats. Pages one and two belonged to the Liberals and pages three and four to the Socialists, and the two parties abused one another heartily in its pages. A new’ club appealing to lovers of dumb animals is in the course of for mation in Mayfair, under the patron age of many well known people. A novel departure will be the dogs’ cloak room, consisting of premises, with at tendants. which will be utilized for the purpose of taking charge of members’ dogs when visiting the club. Boarding the animals at the club will be one of the features, and there will be a cater ing section where dogs can have their meals.

Across the lake artificial islands sup port the calms, which rise about eight feet above the high-water mark. The Russian royal special train is the heaviest and most luxurious in Europe. When it was constructed it was devised to stand a charge of dynamite, and it can not be taken fast over most of the European lines, because their rails are too light. The train contains a small chapel, with an icon of peculiar sanc tity, a library, bath rooms, drawing room, dining room and bed rooms. A curious ceremony which takes place at Whitsuntide is that which is enacted in the parish church schools at St. Ives, Huntingdonshire. The custom dates back to 1675, when Dr. Robert Wilde left money for the purpose. He directed that the minister and church wardens should purchase six Bibles, that the minister should preach a ser mon. and lots be cast for the Bibles. The surveyors for the transcontinen tal railway in Australia made use of camels.

So it wasn’t difficult for me to obe.v orders, and follow out her instructions, even when -Ijer visit was over and she went home. We had arranged that she should come back to spend a week with us in two months. She arrived just before dinner time, but I did not go down to see her, but waited until all the family had gathered together at the table. I stood before the mirror fastening up the apple green dress, and this time I was riot only happy but grateful, for the dress was immensely becoming, and showed up the fresh pink color in my cheeks and the clear white skin which I had acquired by strictly following out my cousin’s rules for diet. I made a triumphant entry into ttje dining room, and I felt amply repaid by the compliments I received for the work and drudgery of two months of exercise, careful dieting and self-sacri flee. The Kind You Have Always Bought. is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over 30 years—the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of intro ducing into their families spurious medicines. , It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed. conterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children’s medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves but the child has to rely on the mother’s watchfulness.

Rose Pastor Stokes. —: A GEORGIA girl writes. "I am seventeen and deeply in love with a man three years my senior. My mother likes him, although she says he will never make a man of himself, and wouldn’t like to have me marry him. I would like to marry him because we agree, and I believe if we were parted our hearts would break. Hr is the only child in the family and his parents have spoiled him. I would like to know how I can break him of this so that my mother can like him in all his ways." My dear, you are praying to marry the man you love. With the task be fore you of making him over, you will have great need of praying 'to love the man you marry. Your mother says he will never make a man of himself. If her judgment is biased, or not, this remains true and of importance: She is looking at him with eyes, that seek her daughter’s hap piness, and no woman was ever happy as the wife of a man who failed to make a man of himself. After love comes to a woman she loses what we will call “ambition for herself.” She grows ambitious for her husband, and will make any sacrifice, undergo any privation, to further his chances. If he has a talent, she will deny herself necessities to provide him with the means to cultivate it, and in numberless times when a man arrives at the top it was with the aid of a meek little woman the world never hears about. If he is content with the mediocre, if he has no thought of the future be yond rent day, and is never prepared for that, her discouraged hopes find new life in her children. She becomes ambitious for them, and many a woman has been to Gethsemane twice because of the heritage of worthlessness her children received from their father. Your lover lacks every quality which a man should need to make a man of himself, and, in addition, is hopelessly spoiled. He can never be a man be cause he will always be a baby, and he will always be a babj- because his parents have always carried him. My dear, the task you would under take is heavy beyond your strength. You would like to marry him because you agree. How long would you agree if he treated you as a spoiled child treats his mother! Would y our , w outlive the blows with which a spoiuT child meets caresses? You believe if you were parted yon. heart would break. Your heart r sure, would suffer many a pang, but i he is the selfish product of weak par tai raising, he won’t feel badly i ong ' If you married him. yours would ways be a heavy burden, the i OT * dusty roads. It would mean a life i unappreciated self-denial, and I ant s' anxious for your happiness. Little Gfri I hope you will wait just a little hr longer. When you are a little older, and hay. looked about.you a little more, you w m know that the most helpless, hopeless, most heavily burdened trav. elers on life’s highway are the womei who married men with the hope of re forming them.
