how charmingly the costume became her.
The Portland goSsips who have analysed the

the exhibition.
1t is actually true, says Clara Belle in the
Enquirer, that many women of beauty
ara annoyed when men stare TOO persist
entity at them. To this by no means large
class belongs a young New York lady Of
great physical loneliness who was seriously
worried for a considerable length of time
by man whom she met in theaters, in res
taurants and various public places. The
man was decidedly good looking, and was
scarcely insOlent 10 his actions, vet the
beauty was much irritated by his gaze, and
would have much liked to ask a policeman
to arrest him. Time passed, and the young
lady continued to suffer the stare of the
Objectionable stranger. Life had become
uncomfortable, and sue was Just about de-
cided to ask protection from some one
against her persistent admirer when she
received a note at her residence that
changed her mind completely. The mute
read:
my DEAR MISS -: I presume yoa
have wondered why l stared at you at all
times when have met you about town. l
meant no offense. / am not masher; in
fact, am a serious man of business, and 10
is my enthusiasm for my business that conf
pels me 20 look at you so much. To be
brief, will say that | am the manu-
facturer of a new toothpaste that is destined
TO have larger sale than any other similar
article in the market. | am a great be-
lever in attractive advertising, and it is
my intention to get out a handsome picture
In colors OF a smiling young lady with beau

many households as possible. The picture
will be SO excellent that people will want
to frame it. l shall have this portrait
enameleo on the cover of every pot of
tooth paste sold. For a very long time l
have been searching for desirable face to
be used in this way, but until | saw you l
was unsuccessful. You, however, fill the
bill in every respect, and l have noticed
that when you smile your teeth display
themselves very attractively. Now, l am
aware that you do not seek notoriety, but l
thought perhaps you would not be averse
to having your picture used in the way
described if | should offer suitable consid-
GRAFTON. Therefore, 1 beg the honor
of offering you the sum of $500
for the privilege of using a
smiling likeness of yourself. 1 have
sent by messenger a sample Of the tooth
paste for you to try, so that you may see
you are not lending your aid to the adver-
tisement OF an inferior article. / shall be
glad to hear from you by mail. or | will
call on you at any time you name. With
best respects, am your obedient servant,

The pretty young woman was compelled
to smile at this quaint appeal, and at once
wrote reply to thu gentleman saying that
she regretted her inability to accept his
generous offer. And now she is no longer
annoyed by her whilom prosecutor.
Here is story from Western Pennsylva-
MIA which matches any told by Miss Wilkins
and other delineators of New England
thrift and unconscious humor, says the
New Y ork Times. A young woman, whose
maiden home was in one of the small cities
of interior New York, followed the fortunes
of her husband, a Calvinistic minister, to
his first charge, a Center" church near the
Ohio line of the Keystone state. The young
wife soon discovered that she had married
the congregation, and as it was a widely
scattered one her time was fully occu-
pied. The most persistent claimant
of her attention and offices was an old
dame to whose announced deathhed she was
summoned within a week after her arrival
The so-called diving woman revived how
ever, the next day, and for two years de-
veloped with great regularity frequent
periods of approaching dissolution. At
every fresh recurrence Of this condition the
pastors wife was Immediately sent for and
always promptly responded, which, as the
house was three miles away, often meant a
night in attendance.
Finally the old lady really did die and
was duly and properly buried The follow
ing week her married daughter called at the
parsonage, asking for its mistress After
some desultory talk upon the virtues of the
| departed the visitor produced a small parcel
carefully wrapped. MA" she began, using
the long, fat "a" Of the neighborhood
Thought right smart of you, an she said
she wanted you to have something of hers
to keep. So she wanted me to bring you
these. They're as good as new, cause ma
never wore 'efn much. You can't use 'em
right away, but by and by they'll come in
handy. II they don't fit they can be fixed
easy"
Mystifed, but grateful, the minister's
wife took the package and the visitor left.
Then she opened the paper. 1t contained
the dead woman's false teeth!
1.-THE future of the bang" said leading
hairdresser to the New York World, sis
coeval with the future of woman. So long
as she lives she will be beautiful, and so long
as she is beautiful she will bang her hair
She may part with her teeth, surrender her
eyebrows and even relinquish her hold on
the powder puff and rouge pot, but never,
never will she give up or pull back her front
hair
THE bang is woman's best friend 1t is
the salvation of the matron and the ameli-
Grafton of the homely young woman.
Fancy young lady vii h prominent nose,
high cheek bones, squirrel teeth that will
not remain covered, hollow temples, pro-
jecting ears or Unbalanced features, and if
you think bang Of no Importance IN soft
ening her cour tenance you are very much
mistaken. Even pale, colorless eyes can be
darkened; saucer eyes can be toned do wn

broad one elongated by the simple process Of
banging the front hair and waving, curl.

"a man with an ugly, brutal or weak

face, coarse features and masculine brow

past is as old as human variety and its
future is eternal Whether furled or I'M
furled, it will still remain frill for the
brow of beauty and avail to soften the
ravages Of time.
