The Daughters of the King.
From the Neao York World.

FROM me NelD IOrb W0rtd.
There is a society of women in New
York known as the Kings Daughters,
which, despite its royal title, is purely
democratic in organization. 1t was be-
gun by ten women who felt a desire to do
some organized religious work, and Oh
iected to the trammels OF big, unwieldy
sOcIeIy. so these ten met AZ the house OF
Mr.. +. BOttOme, at No. Is Washington
Place last January. made her President
of the little band OF piOus PTincesses, and
proceeded to adopt motto, watchwOrd
and badge, consisting OF a tiny silver
Maltese cross suspended to bit OF royal
purple ribbon. Not year has passed
since then, but already the societ,
has grown very large; not added
to the original group. but organized
in other branches Of ten each and the
strange sight is seen sometimes of
woman at the counter OF a shop, seeing
the purple ribbon on the breast of the
woman who serves her, extending her
hand cordially and saying: 81 also am
daughter Of the King"
The original ten have formed the nu-
cleus Of the general society and are known
as the Central Ten. TO them perplexinV
matters are referred, but the organiza-
tion is very elastic, and each group car
rles on its own self-chosen work in its
own way. One OF the tens decided to visit
the sica children in the hospitals ana
chose that as their WORK. A number OF
them, various tens taking its turn, visit
the Hahneman Hospital, and regularly
assist in the institution, also uIing
dolls, picture books, and TOYS for the little
ones. One ten has undertaken 10 teach
class Of poor working girls 10 sew and
cook. Ten society girls, with trained
voices, call themselves a Musical Ten and
sing in hospitals ana at charitable con-
certs. One branch calls Iiself the Shut
In Ten, consisting OF invalids who have
been confined to the house for years;
another ten devote themselves TO these
invalids and endeavor To bring light and
Joy into their lives, corresponding with
them, visiting them, reading to them, and
teaching them all sorts Of fancy work to
beguile their tedious lives. Some branches
devote themselves 10 home and for
eign missions, aud there have been tens
formed in boarding scnOols for their self
improvement. Girls prominent in society
have Joined themselves TO the Kings
Daughters. finding an outlet for their
surplus energies and room for whatever
their special taste dictates. Mrs, M. l..
Dickinson, Miss Helen Hammersly, Mrs.
Theodore Irving, Mrs. Francis Payson,
Mrs. Courtand de Puyeter Field, Mrs. J.

the one case the artist can make use of

everything must bear an elaborate finish.
80 there are two STYLES OF painting in
vogue in facial embellishment as well rs
in pictorial art. But know something
muoh better than painting for preserving
youthful appearance in the tace, 1t Is
very simple and was suggested by the
massage treatment for removing super
nuous flesh. 1t this case the object Is In
measure to restore wasted flesh, or
rather to prevent waste. Wrinkles, the
surest mark OF advancing age, and the
hardest to eradicate or conceal. are due
to the gradual wearing away of flesh un-
derneath the cuticle. Why does IL wear
awayY Because the facial muscles have
either too little or the wrong kind OF ex-
ercise. 1t will be observed that wrinkles
usually take downward course. This
is due 70 the wrong kind of exercise
What eXercseg Why, the washing and
wiping OF the face, to be sure. Not that

an awkward habit to acquire at first, but
perseverance will make it second nature,
and the result is worth many pains. This
exercise i + designed particularly for tb 9
0ene1it Of the eyes and upper portion of
the cheeks.
For the lower ana middle portion,
where hollowness is often noted rather
than wrinkles, but sometimes both, there
is another plan. The facial muscles are
subjected to very slight activity in the
ordinary eXerti0us OF eating and talking.
To I'll the cheeks out plump and round
1t is necessary to develop the muscles
there. These muscles are very slight mt
the best and any special effort well
directed will increase them in capacity
and size. An excellent exercise for this
purpose is this:
Take piece OF soft leather, kid or
chnmois skin will do, and put the end Of
it between the teeth; then chew gently
upon il for several minutes, taking care
not to raise the teeth from the leather. II
the teeth are raised 1t will bring into play
only the ordinary muscles OF mastication,
whereas the purpose ia TO develop those
that are seldom used One who tries this
method Will find the cheek going through
a queer action that is anything but grace
nj and pretty; nevertheless IL Is immen-
sely effective and will restore TO it's
youthful plumpness even the most hollow
cheeks OF the decrepit sex genarian.
Those in middle life or those VINO are just
beginning TO feel the approach of age will
find this plan especially valuable. Its
beauty does not recommend it, but its
simplicity does.
