A model “beauty parlor,” which
experts prophecy will be adapted in
other cities of the United States, and
particularly in the South, where con
siderable attention is lately being
paid to matters of feminine pulchri
tude, has been Installed by Mrs.
Madeline Force Astor, widow of John
Jacob Astor. In New York. From
the avidity with which "beauty doc
tors" huve studied the details of the
luxurious Astor establishment, it is
considered reasonably certain that it
will be generally copied, and that
Atlanta, with other cities, will have
one of its kind
A veritable golden chamber Is the
beauty room of the young Astor
widow. Its appeal lies not only In the
luxury of it, however, but in the
fact that the appliances for enhanc
ing and conserving beauty are of the’
1 most unique and effective design that
electrical experts could contrive.
Tills model parlor Is small, being
. fifteen by fifteen feet In dimensions,
i The floor is white tile, covered with
l in Oriental rug. A magnificent paint
ing looks down from the ceiling.
I Richly beveled mirrors, with glitter
' ing gold borders stand nine feet from
the floor on all sides. All the tiny
| electric globes w hich flood the room
with a soft glow are concealed® in
I the molding, and so arranged that the
light is reflected from the mirrors.
The scientific world has been at
tracted by the novel appliances with
' which the room is fitted, so much so
: that technical magazines have de
ls* tibed them fully. Each instrument
is of the finest quality.
Wherever possible, gold has been
used for plating. The handles of the 1
smaller toilet articles are of mother
of pearl and the clasps of gold. Some
of the handles are studded with
I gems.
i The center of the room contains a

hairdressing chair of carved wood,
inlaid with gold, which can be tipped
at any angle. Above the chair, in
gold plated brackets, is a patented
hair dryer, which emits either warm
or. cold air. according to manipula
tion. It is operated by electricity.
A specially designed massage ped
estal. with electric vibrators of the
most costly type, stands on the right
side of the room The motor of this
pedestal is held by four claws of a
dragon This machine contains an
applicator of Intense rapidity and one
of extreme softness. All of the parts
of this device are gold plated.
Aseptic sterilizing cabinets for
(•leaning the appliances are arranged
on one side of the room. An electric
face bleacher and sets of electric
marcel irons are at hand. All the
smaller articles are arranged tn boxes
with blue silk linings clamped with
gold.
Mrs. Astor is said to have given
the electrical wizard, who fitted up
this private •’beauty parlor” a free
hand ami an unlimited purse. The
result is the most elaborate and
complete room of its kind in the
world.

HUERTA’S POOH=BAH
NOW OUT OF OFFICE
Dr. Urrutia Forsakes Office of Minister of Gober
nacion When Impeachment Is Likely.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 20.—Mexico’s
Minister of Gobernacion, a title that
covered as many jobs as Pooh Bah's
Lord High Everything Else, is now
without official position. Dr. Auro
liano Urrutia has tendered his res
ignation to President Huerta when
it seemed entirely likely that he was
to be Impeached for rresting Sena
tor Calero, whose office of Senator
gives him immunity froiu ...rest. Now
General Huerta is looking for some
one who can in any way come close
to filling Jhe shoes of the retiring
Minister.
Since Dr. Aureltano Urrutia was
made Minister of Gobernacion by
President Huerta a couple of months
ago fcis new laws and their enforce
ment have caused every Inhabitant of
this city to sit up and take notice,
open their eyes in wonder and specu
late continually on what to expect
next.
Urrutia Real Progressive.
The Minister of Gobernacion In
President Huerta's Cabinet has du
ties corresponding to those of the
Secretary of the Interior in the
United States, but Dr. Urrutia Is
nothing If not progressive and ener
getic and dictatorial, and he didn't
propose to be < restricted by absurd
traditions concerning the scope of his
official usefulness. He is the Theo
dore Roosevelt of Mexico, the Pooh
Bah of the Huerta administration.
Nominally he was merely the Minister
of Gobernacion. but In reality he is

He takes an active interest in every
subject connected with the public

importance. He looked after the health
of the capital; he decided how the
pulque business should be run; he
regulated the speed limit of automo
biles and street cars; he kept an eye
on the beggars; he supervised social
evil reforms; he regulated the hours
for saloons and restaurants to do busi
ness; he was the foremost adviser of
the President; he decided what arti
cles drug stores may sell on Sundays;
he made rules and regulations for
the police; his word was law, and all

The baby food and nipples were under

been excepted from the prohibitory

closed Sundays. Newsstands are
closed. All stores are shut tight.
Theaters are open Sundays. Bull

bullfights are national Institutions.

no crowding in the street cars, and
that everyone who pays a fare must
have a seat. When all the seats are
occupied, a sign bearing the word
“completo” is hung up by the motor
man at the front of the car. Cars
must stop at every corner and at
every’ road crossing in the suburbs.
They must run at a low rate of speed
in the city.
*He has decreed that automobiles
must not exceed a speed limit of
about seven miles an hour on some
streets and five miles on others. And
the police see that these regulations
are complied with.
He has decreed that the police must
assist all blind persons and all near
sighted persons across the streets.
He has decreed that all persons
seen walking along the sidewalks
reading newspapers shall be arrested
and fined.

He has decreed that all begga r s
shall be put in a home and made to
work for a living.
He has decreed that pulque shops,
heretofore the filthiest gathering
places of degraded humanity in the
city, shall be. lined with white tiles,
kept scrupulously clean and that no
pulque shall be drunk on the prem
ises.
He has decreed that all policeman
on duty at night shall carry Win
chester repeating rifles, but it has
been carefully explained that this is
not because there is any fear of a lo
cal uprising or of rebels coming into !
the city. The policemen carry lan
terns at night now and are Armed with
six-shooters and clubs, so that *ne
addition of rifles to their ymamen;
might seem unnecessary, but doubt
less Dr. Urrutia has good reasons for
the new rule.
they have decided to wait until Pres

Then the warning would be too

Mrs. Susan Wakefield, Suing for
Divorce From Millionaire, Says
Example Should Aid Others.
BOSTON, Sept. 20.—Every married
man should insist that her husband
, keep her informed about his business
—particularly If the husband Is in
clined to Irresponsibility in money af
fairs. It's a shock to suddenly wake
up and find that you have got to sub
stitute a $25-a-week allowance for a
luxurious home and all the money
that comfort and luxury’ demands.
Mrs. Susan M. Wakefield, wife of
Cy-rus Wakefield, son of the late mil
lionaire rattan manufacturer, who
! was last week awarded $25 w’eekly
from Mr. Wakefield pending divorce
1 proceedings this fall, thinks it would
jar the average well-to-do wife to
. suddenly discover that $25 was to he
her limit of Income.
The termination of the romance of
I Susan Wakefield and her wealthy
young husband has errused the biggest
, sensation in Wakefield that the quiet
and aristocratic little town has ever
known.
“What will Susie Wakefield do now
that she has only $25 a week to live
j on?” That is the question that is go
> Ing the rounds of the town.
Mrs. Wakefield answers it herself.
Says she:
, “I shall get along. Women, tens of
thousands of them, considered in
good circumstances, live upon far
less. There’s a lesson in such a caae
that should help other women.
. “If you’ve got a husband who isn’t
, interested in business, who is a 'gen
tleman of leisure,’ then a woman
should make it her business to be in
formed how the money is made or
where it comes from, and what the
i financial arrangements surrounding
the family fortune are. It’s a splen
did thing that so many girls do have
a grounding in the rudiments of busi
ness before they marry. They are
fitted to look into what their hus
bands will some time neglect.”
