EVERY WOMAN

So says Jenness Miller, the famous
lecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and a celebrated
writer in a medical journal SAYS
"Face powders and toilet preparations
have legitimate use in the toilette of
every woman and a use properly made
need not, any more than the proper
use of perfume, displease any one,
while it can not be denied that they
add to the personal beauty and at
tractiveness and give to the wearer an
expression that can be interpreted by
any practical observer to mean that
THIS WOMAN IS NEAT AND CAREFUL
ABOUT HER PERSON AND HOLDS A JUST
PRIDE IN BEAUTIFYING HERSELF. In
the use of toilet preparations it is
easy to distinguish the well-bred from
the vulgar" Another well-known
authority, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan,
professor of anatomy in the Rush
Medical College and P. A. surgeon
U. S. NJ. H. S., writes without re-
serve on a kindred subject. What
he says:
CHICAGO, Jan. 81, 1888.
w. M. Wisdom-Dear Sir: AS
you requested, / have examined the
formula. of your toilet preparation
called Robertine. l can assure you
that the ingredients are both bland
and harmless, and that the compound
would form an excellent application
in irritated conditions of the skin.
Society ladies and noted artistes
throughout the United States unhesi-
tatingly pronounce Robertine the
perfection" in a toilet article. Once

Button VS.. Laced Bootss

The woman who has an ugly foot and
who wishes to conceal such defect should
invariably wear q boot that is laced
rather than buttoned one. The boot
that laces is also recommended to those
who have tender feet, as it may be
made to fit each day, the elasticity of
the laces being vastly superior to the
stiffness of the buttoned article. Many
women knowing this are in the habit Of
buying them, but frank and honest
salesman confesses to the fact that
women who have outgrown their girlish
slenderness-to put 1T mildly-always
purchase laced boots. He says: "We
always try to persuade stout woman
to wear them home, because if they are
sent home she will find 1t so difficult to
lace them up that nine times out of ten
she will send them back rather than en-
dure the discomfort. This, of course,
she may not do if she has worn them out
of the shop"

SHE WON HER CASE.
An Independent Bridget who Sued for
Breach of Promise.

6reacn OF HrOmiSes
There was queer, shrewd Irish girl,
who was engaged to certain well-to-do
youth, says the Boston Transcript. His
father had thriftily got some property
together, which the son would inherit.
The youth knew very little; he had lost
one eye, and, as Bridget said of him, he
was emphatically mot much to look at,
but his "expictash'ns" made him at
tractive Presently Bridget was in great
distress. She camo to her employer,
who happened to be lawyer,l In raging
state of mind. Tho young man had
Tilted her, and she was going to sue him
for breach of promise!
Her account Of the matter was Curl
Gus mixture Of humor, Indignation, and
craftiness. She would sue him for dam
ages, but it was plain that her object
was to force him to marry her. Sure"
said she, san why mightn't have the
money as well as the sisters and coosins
af him?" "Would you marry him now?"
asked her employer. "Surc, an that /
wud! Amt he as noice little spalpeen
as ye'd seen in days RUNNING"
The employer tried to ascertain
whether tho boy had any pretext for
lifting her. What had she done to Of
fend him? Bridget lowered her voice
confidentially. 81 think" she said, "that
it's all about q bit of conversation that
we had. Sure, now, Bridget said he to
me one noight, as we sat in the kitchen,
'wud ye marry me if had no money?
What do ye take me for?' saysI. Sure
and | wuddent then. There's nobody
wud marry the likes O 20 but for the
money We haver An wild that, sorr, he
riz up sudden like an he whit away.
Twas the thrut' l told i'm, but sure he's
foine little lad sorr, an I'd marry him
tho day, I'm that fond of him-wid the
moneYw
Herlawyer was convinced that Bridget
had good case, and advised her to
bring suit. She did so, and her eXami-
nation in court was q sceno long to be
remembered. With one breath she
scorched tho defendant and with the
next she praised and cajoled him.
"Sure, he's not beauty" she adj
mitted to the court, she's only the one
eye, but it's awful becomin' to him, yen
amer"
Bridget won her case; the youth, re
lenting before such tact, changed his
character of defendant for that of bride
groom, and all the SISTERS and cousins
came to the wedding.

WOES OF RICH MEN.
They Can BE Neither Politicians, MOI
Authors, Nor Statesmen.

They Can BE Neither Politicians, MOI
Authors, Nor Statesmen.
Tho very rich people are to be
pitied," said well-known capitalist
and club-man the other day to New
York correspondent of the Kansas City
Star. ''When man once gets large
fortune there is no emolument worth
striving for, for if he tries and succeeds
in winning it the world says that his
conflict was made easy by his wealth.
If he has political aspirations he is &C.
cused of purchasing votes and favor.
If he wants to shine in literature 1t is
declared that he hires an author to write
his books. He is not permitted to have
an honest love for art, for when he be.
comes a collector 1t is said that he buys
picturesaby the yard and statuary as
though it were cheese. John Jacob
Astor, who died recently, could have
been Minister to England under Presi-
dent Hayes, but he refused the position
because he know the Nation would de-
clare that it was given in reward for his
contribution to the campaign fund. In
his whole life John Jacob Aston was
nothing more than q real-estate agent
on large scale, and his end was &C.
complished by govt, the bane Of all rich
men. Govt is the inevitable result Of
afiluence. 1t is good food and what is
now called good cooking that pro-
duces govt, and the man Of large
means is sure to have boths Mr..
Astor was what might be called
n quiet liver; that is, he was per-
fectly temperate in his appetites. Be-
sides this he was an extraordinary
strong youth and began his life of lux
ury with O constitution OF iron. But
the steady, unbroken comforts and plen-
itudes of his existence did their work
and he died at sixty-eight, looking as
hearty as any man in New York. 1t has
sometimes been observed that govt is a
fashionable ailment, but in reality it is
q prevalent and deadly disease among
| the luxurious men in New York, and
nearly every club window has big red
faced man in it who is haunted by the
realization that he may be called to his
reckoning at any moment. II these men
had ever been tempted into the fields OF
endeavor and taken pot-luck with the
regulate toilers of the earth they would
be all right, but the smooth elegance OF
doing nothing that they have INDUCED
in, together with the wines and spiced
delicacies that have formed their sus-
tenance, has put them into pretty much
the same physical condition as those
geese that we make into pates de fois
gras. l advise the poor not to envy the
rich. I will wager that they are as un'
happy as anybody. The richer they are
the more unhappy they are. They can
not go into the struggle for fame, they
mistrust the motives of every new &C
quaintance, and they invariably have
the govt. You will not find more sOr
rowful looking set of men in New Yorl
than the ones that belong to my club

ENOUGH FOR A NIGHTcAP.
Charitable Persons Put Pennies In q Cor
Z vivial StatesmRn's Hat.

ChnrltaDie PERSONS Put Pennies In Con-
vivlal Statesman's Hat.
The following story is told by the
Chicago Herald of a politician, and it
can be taken for what it is worth. He
was pretty good sort Of fellow in his
way, this politician, but he had way of
going off occasionally and imbibing
liquor with his constituents. One night
recently he went off more than ever.
He drank beyond his limit and got into
that condition when all the world is
rosy and life is greas big joke. He
wandered around to various drinking
shops in his neighborhood and ctook
additional consignments of hilarity
aboard at every stopping place. About
midnight he concluded to take walk.
His walk was not long, but 1t was long
enough to tire him out, and he dropped
on doorstep on dark corner Of across
street. His hat fell into his lap, his head
dropped over on his shoulder and he
was soon sound asleep. In the darkness
he looked like . poor beggar seeking
for aims rather than the well-dressed
politician he had been few hours be-
fore. The upturned. hat in his lap
seemed to appeal for pennies. Several
passers-by noticed what they supposed
to be beggar sitting there, and in the
kindness of their hearts they dropped
nickels and pennies into the hat. Itwas in
this position that number of the friends
of the disabled politician found him q
few hours later. When they woke him
he discovered, much to his surprise and
chagrin, that the charitable public had
contributed seventy-six cents to his
treasury while he slept. ''Seventy-six
cents, eh?" said he, as he counted out
the money. "Well, boys, that'lls;ust
buy nightcap."
