to let a drop get in the eye. When
the splits dry the eyebrows are
glossy and sufficiently dark to raise
the eye apparently.
About making up and the use OF
cosmetics l have my own peculiar
ideas. One Is to advise girls and
young ladies to let them entirely
alone. Youth Is beauty. Freckles
are not blemishes. II the skin is
sore or pimpled, If II Is eruptcd or
disfigured by "a birthmark, then by
all means have IL treated, but II IL
madness to tamper with Il smooth
skin. II II Is clean IL Is beautiful"
Mime. Rupert is not an advocate
Of cold creams SHE takes her pow
der off with soap and water, and
treats soreness of the skin, chapped
lips or roughness of the hands with
lotion of glycerine and rose water.
Nine. Rupert has gained for herself
very nice skin, which is as fine rs
satin In texture, and as delicate as
amber In tint.
On the subject OF woman's sphere
she leans to the home theory. "A
woman who does not have to go out
and battle with the world Is foolish
to leave her home. That Is the
place where she will make her
greatest success. The world IL rough
and she must either get cute enough
to dodge the blows, or strong and
hard enough to take them.
Few women succeed in business, be-
cause of their social ambition. They
will not relinquish the love of con-
quest or the desire to reign. This Is
n great mistake. The two can not
be combined; either she must devote
herself entirely to business, or real
ize only q negative success and fail
socially in the end, for the reason
that society women and working
women never havo harmOnized an d
never will. That Is the reason that
men make the best friends for
women. Ii woman wants patron
age and popularity she may get 1t
from the lady superior, but II she
wants help she must go to man
every time. He will give her ref
erences, vouch for her honesty, go
her security, sign her lease, get re-
bates, discount, and letters of in
PRODUCTION; he will see her through
tight places, and over rough ones,
giving her the benefit of his expert
ence, and delight in her success,
but the helping hand extended in a
light kid glove Is equal to none Of
these demands"
Here is pluck for the chicken
hearted to heed.
"In one way am something of q
curiosity. All the women 1 have
met In business are reduced. They
have seen better days. Fate has
been cruel and the silver spoons,
carriages, brocades and solitaires
have been con nflscated. 1t Is differ
1 never dreamed Of anything as
beautiful as the present. 1 was born
and raised In tiny cottage home;
my parents were very poor; l had
six months Of schooling and then
my career Of industry, IL not useful
ness, began. The bane of my exist
ence was q birthmark In my left
cheek, representing two brown fin
gers clearly outlined. gave my
services gratuitously to a celebrated
chemist in ST. Louis, who succeeded,
after two years, In removing the
brown fingers by means of bleach.
That was the beginning of my pro-
fessional work"
Nine. Rupert Is the mother of n
young lady daughter, but no one
would put higher estimate on her
age than 25.
Gladstone on Unsexed Women.
At the fifty-frst anniversary Of
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Gladstone invited lot of the
Burlington high school girls to have
an Ice with them on the lawn. The
girls went In their prettiest white
froclss, their brightest ribbons and
sweetest smiles, and after congratu-
lations formed q circle about the
venerable statesman and held him
captive for o schoolgirl speech"
What those pretty British maid
ems heard must have made very
deep impression.
Mr.. Gladstone reminded them
that they belonged to the favored
half OF the human race, that they
were sweet and lovely because they
were women and that their very
presence was sunshine to the worl d,
says correspondent Of the New
York World He iran over" the
achievements of their sisters and
their mothers, admitted the i'm
provements their industry aud
earnestness had brought about and
predi icted even greater and better
changes. Then he became very enl-
phatic and jerking his right arm
away back let fly powerful blow at
the strong-mined grenadier woman
of the age.
"I do not believe in the unsexed
women and l am not In sympathy
with the masculine women. The
destiny of the ad vanced woman Is
doubtful. The blue-stocking, busi-
ness woman, and the female politi-
clan are a superiiuity." He referred
to the saloon raiders rs unlovely,
called the political reformers his
"shrieking sisters" and numbered
the "fenaie bull.fighters and female
leaguers." among the intolerable
evils of society. His observation
led him to believe that "the great
est need of the world is home
women and home girls TO make that
sacred spot beautiful, wholesome,
lovely" He thought the world too
big and too bad for any one club,
one organization or one community
to reform. Home 10 IA little place
and there good woman can make
a heaven, rear a throne and reign u
goddess. In concluding, this wise
old parliamentarian said, shading
