Woman's Moral Obligation
Is To Be Beautiful
(BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.)
A young woman who Is romarkahk*
for her in I elect, her good heart and
her spiritual qualities called upon
roe recently, and, although these ai
mleable traits were all photographed
in her sweet and ytterestlng face and
expressed in her well-modulated
voice, she affected me like a discord
in music.
This was the enufe:
She sat with sunken chest, ele
vated shoulders and projecting chin,
one leg crossed ungracefully over tin
other, and her whole attitude devoid
nf ease and elegance. Added to Till
t-he was carelessly dressed. Her a
tire was clean and fresh, to be stir •,
but the blouse waist fitted badly
about the -shoulders, there was no
thought given to the choice of be
coming colors, and her hat was un
suited to her style of face.
No Excuse for Carelessness
There Is no genius, no goodness, m
usefulness that can excuse a woman
for being careless in dress or tin
graceful In deportment.
Everything about a woman should
express harmony at'd charm. It Is
utterly useless for the woman who
is not beautiful within to attempt t<
seem beautiful by mere outwan
show. She may deceive a few super
ficial observers for a time, hut a at
fish or cruel habit of thought or a
vain mind soon hardens the eyes and
the face and destroys the effect of
the most tasteful attire and the most
cultured manner.
But the igood heart and the brlglu
mind should not. disguise Itself un
der tasteless garments or express it
self with awkward gestures. It
sides being agreeable to the eye, the
] roper deportment of attitude Is an
tld to the development of character.
Gracefulness Helps the Mind.
To sit, walk and stand with dig
ntty and grace are accomplishment;
which help the mind and the splri’
as well n» ihe body.
Since the memory of man. the tri
angle has been a symbol of human
character. The physical, the men
tal, the spiritual nature are express
ed by the three sides of the triangle.
Ho soon as either line In Imper
fect or diseased, man Is abnormal In
his nature. And whatever ts abnor
mal Is deformed or diseased.
The gifted young woman whose
beautiful spirit and wimderful mind
charmed nil who met her was on the
road to physical degeneracy, through
ungraceful and unhealthful attitudes

and utter neglect of one line of the
triangle. She had temporarily for
go!t<n her fair young body, and was
adding the Insult of careless attire
to the Injury of wrong attitudes.
Composure Saves Vitality.
A woman’s face and body should
express dignity, repose, animation,
hope, ambition, energy and grace.
Order and cleanliness should bo
iler handmaidens, and serenity should
banish nervousness from her pres
ence.
ihe woman who cannot sit still
j without a foot or a hand In motion
j Is wasting tier own vitality and an
noying others who are compelled to
be In her presence.
Learn composure! Learn grace'
Learn deportment!
Leant how to sit down, how to rise,
to stand, to walk.
These are important factors in ,T
woman's education.
For a woman should be a thing of
beauty—to mind, heatt, soul, ear and
eye.

gatherings that the city has ever had
Is at an end.
During the sessions of the conven

LITERARY NOTES
By ELLA BUTLER AROO
BOOKS REVIEWED
“By the lonian Sea.’’
The late George Oisslng wandered
through part of Italy
shortly before his death, In the search
of health and distraction, and, as one
result of bis trip, he wrote a book
called "By the lonian Sea: Notes of
Rambles in Southern Italy." Nowhere
in recent English prose has there
been so exquisite and charming a se
ries of Impressions of the country
and the people, the present and the
past of Southern Italy. Towns likji
Catanzaro, Reggio, Cotrone and Squib
lace, many of whose names have lA.LV
ly become so appallingly familiar, are
described by him In a way at once
intimate and picturesque, and their
atmosphere and charm—both classi
cal and modern —are brought close to
us In the most limpid and imagina
tive prose. Saturated with the knowl
edge of the men and ideas that have
given its peculiar quality to that part
of the ancient and modern world and
keenly sensitive to the individual and
rather pathetic charm of its present
day life, he has left us a study that
must appoal equally to all lovers of
literature and of Italy. "It is," as
the New York Tribune said, “at once
a beautiful and a touching book.”
THE AUGUSTA HERALT
According to “Jennie Allen."
Hats off in the elevator! In N’
Yoark they spot for a countryman or.
an East Sider the jay who doesn’f
remove his top covering when a wo
man gets aboard the lift—that is, ex
cept possibly in a few down-town of
fice buildings where everybody is too
busy to be polite. And just now
Providence, which is near Boston by
rail and Gotham in metoropolitan as
pirations, is animatedly discussing
the perennial question. Prominent
women of the Rhode Island capital,
curiously enough, aro inclined to taka
sides against the amenity due td their
sex. Thus the wife of the presi
dent of Brown University suggests
that in this era of overblown head
gears women rather than men should
remove thetr hats. Again says Miss
j Grace Donworth, author of the Ini
mitable "Letters of Jennie Allen,”
coming to the rescue of the reputa
tion of her fellow-townsmen: “Provi
dence men are more polite than Bos
ton men. It seems to be more the
custom for them to remove their hats
in elevators here than it is in either
New York or Boston, especially the
latter. Still, Ido not consider it ne
cessary. An elevator is merely a
corridor and does not call for such
rules as prevail in a private place."
Orcutt’s Interest In Illumination.
William Dana Orcutt, author of the
latest Harper novel, “The Spell," has
made a special study of the ancient
and revived art of illumination. Mr.
Orcutt says that the fascination of
these old treasures is endless, and he
has studied them id the Laurentian
and Ricoardt libraries in Rome, the
Ambrosiana in Milan, the Nationale
in Palis, the British Museum in Lon
don, and haunted numberless old
in pursuit of the color
secrets of their manuscripts. A dis
tinct product of this study has been
the Humanistic "Petrarch," which
has made the author's name firm in
the realm of scholarship, and was the
particular volume which President
Roosevelt went to Cambridge to see
two years ago.
"9009.”
A Georgia prison warden declares
that "9009" —the fact story of a con
vict by James Hopper and Frederick
Bechdolt, which was lately publish
ed by Doubleday, Page & Co. —is un
true, while recent exposures, brought
about by the activity of the Atlanta
Georgian, would seem to indicate that
there were things going on in the
treatment of convicts that would be
rather Ward to investigate. This
month. Governor Hoch of Kansas,
and Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma,
appointed a joint committee to in
vestigate charges of alleged cruelties
to Oklahoma prioners confined in the
Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing.
Miss Kate Rarnard. Oklahoma state
commissioner of charities, recently
filed with the governor a sensational
report that these prisoners were be
ing maltreated. All of"lhis would
strongly indicate that a general in
vestigation of prisons is necessary
and imminent. "9009" —with its
facts vouched for and its information
carefully secured at firsthand and
examined—may easily become a docu
ment in evidence or the latter-day
parallel of the work of Dickens that
abolished debtors’ prisons, with all
their injustices and abuses.

Prof. Wilkinson's Poems.
Prof. William Cleaver Wilkinson,
who has long occupied the chair of
Poetry and Criticism in the Univer
sity of Chicago, has gathered into
five substantial volumes, the best of
his own many verses in'epic and lyric
fields. For his ability as a poet,
many able scholars have accorded
him high rank. The work Is publish
ed by Fund & Wagnalls company.
“The Black Cross.”
Moffat, Yard & Co. will publish
immediately a novel by Olive M.
Briggs entitel “The Black Cross,”
which deals with a* Russian violin
ist of great reputation who becomes
innocently involved, by a girl of
great beauty, in a secret plot against
the government. Charged with the
assassination of an official, the girl,
on being arrested, proves to be a
princess of degree. They escape,
traveling together as wandering mu
sicians, with many exciting adven
tures, to the border. There the girl,
unwilling to marry him because of
the crime she mistakenly supposes
she committed, escapes. The end
is satisfying.
The story is extremely rapid in
movement. Ivanowski furnishes a
frontispiece in colors. \
WITH THE MARCH MAGAZINES
The Metropolitan Magazine.
Commerce, untrammeled and con
tinuous, is necessary to the growth
of a nation. How many Americans
have given thought to the uncrown
ed, unseen king that makes it possi
ble for their coutnry to maintain its
foremost place among the great and
powerful nations of the world? Those
who read “Coal as a Commercial
Factor,” an article which has been
treated in a masterful way by Car
rington Phelps for the readers of the
March Metropolitan Magazine, will
acknowledge how fortunate we are to
have secured such an able and en
lightening article on this vital sub
ject. This article wTTPhe read by all
those Americans who are ambitious
for the welfare of their coutnry. The
rumored death by smallpox of the
young Emperor of China adds new
interest to “The Forbidden City and
Its Political Mysteries.” Isaac Tay

unique, favorable circumstances as an

A White House Number.
The March Century is to be a
“White House Number,” having, in
addition to Calvin Dili Wilson’s story
of “Our Presidents Out of Doors” and
William H. Crook's reminiscences of
“Rutherford B. Hayes in the White

The March Smart Set.
Modern marria* e conditions form
the theme of the "Shuttlecock," the
complete novel published in the
March Smart Set. “The Shuttleeock"
is from the pen of Neith Boyce, one
of the cleverest of the younger novel
ists. Neith Boyce, who is Mrs. Hutch
ins -Hapgood. has attracted a great
deal of notice recently through her
novels, which have treated of mar
riage from a new viewpoint. “The
Shuttlecock" recounts the matrimon
ial sunshine and shadows of an Amer
ican couple living abroad. Two wo
men and a man form the triangle
about which the storv turns, the man
emotionless, repressing all outward
show of sentiment, the wife a starved
soul crying out for affection, the oth
er woman a member of the artistic
world surrounded by a halo of un
reality that makes her so dangerous
a factor. The scenes of this Hovel
are laid in New York City and some
of the least-trodden byways ot
Northern Italy. “The Shuttlecock”
throws a new ray of light on the
marriage problem—or perhaps a ray
from a new direction.
PHOSPHATE FOUND
NEAR ORANGEBURG
Special to The Herald.
ORANGEBURG, S. C.—As a result
of the digging up of sharks teeth, and
other fossils during the process of
sinking a well in the lower part of
this country some time ago, Mr.
Sloan, state geologist, has stated that
it is more than likely that the vein
of phosphate, located at Charleston,
may extend as far up as this county.
The matter has been looked into, and
Mr. Sloan has already made a visit
to the place, where the fossils were
unearthed.

*O.O, OLD SORES
Before any sore can heal, the cause which produces it must be removed.
As long as the blood, from which our systems receive their necessary nour
ishment and strength, remains impure and contaminated with disease germs,
any old sore on the body will remain open, and resist every effort made to
heal it. The nerves and tissues of the flesh around the places are continu
ally fed with unhealthy matter and nature is simply disposing of the poison
by draining it from the system through the sore. The only cure for an old
sore is a thorough cleansing of the blood, entirely ridding the system of the
cause. S. S. S. heals old sores by removing every particle of impurity from
the circulation. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and so com
pletely cleanses the circulation that there is no longer any impurity to drain
through the sore, but the place is once more nourished with rich, health
ful blood. S. S. S. heals the sore from the bottom, the place soon fills in
with nealthy, firm flesh, * the tenderness leaves, all discharge ceases, the
skin regains its natural color and when S. S. S. has thoroughly cleansed and
purified-the blood the place is permanently healed. Book on Sores and
Ulcers and any medical advice free to all who write.
