So says Jenness-Miller, the famous
lecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and celebrated
writer in a medical journal says: "Face
powders and toilet preparations have a
legitimate use in the toilette of every
woman and use properly made need
not any more than the proper use of a
perfume displease any one, while it
cannot be denied that they add to the
personal beauty and attractiveness and
can be interpreted by any practical OBJ
server to mean that THIS WOMAN is NEAT
AND CAREFUL ABOUT HER PERSON AND
HOLDS JUST PRIDE IN BEAUTIFYING HER
SELF. 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 Med
ical College and P. A. surgeon U. S. M.
H. S., writes without reserve 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 Rober-
tine. can assure you that the ingred-
tents are both bland and harmless, and
that the compound would form an
excellent application in irritated con-
ditions of the skin.
Society ladies and noted artistes
throughout the United States unhesi-
tatingly pronounce Robertine the "per-
lection" in toilet article. Once tried
always used-such is its history.

FROM THE METRO POLES.


SAN Francisco, Sept. 25., 1891.
Sol. Smith Russell has been playing
at the Baldwin this week in Peaceful
Valley. The play is good one in a
quiet way and the principal character,
Hosea Howe, the man from the noun
tains who SAYS what he means and
means what he says is well suited to
Mr.. Russell. Hosea Howe is waiter
at the Ayrtop house, a summer hotel in
the mountains, earning money with
which to complete his course at college.
His originality and quaintness are well
expressed by his answer to guest who,
seeing him with a book in Latin, re-
marks: "You are waiter who studies"
mo, am student who waits" He
is obliged to bear many indignities
which wound his sensitive nature and
finally turns against the overbearing
landlord and resigns his post as waiter.
There being a small balance due him on
his salary he boards it out. He meets
young girl, Virgie Rand, a pearl OF
womanhood, who becomes interested in
him. Won by her kindness he tells her
of his life and also his sisters story,
the old story of a trusting
woman and william. His sister
is in New York, he thinks, and he
wishes to go there and search for her:
He has never met the man who wronged
his sister, though he knows his name.
1t turns out that he is guest at the no.
tel and Hosea meets him face to face.
He tells him what he thinks of him and
al 10
full man but he cannot endure that, so
he hurls him from the hotel piazza and
the william has bad fall down the
mountain side. He lands on Hosea's
perpendicular farm" and Hosea's
mother binds up his sprained ancle. He
is seeking Virgie Rand for his wife, as
she has a fortune in her own right, and
he already has her father in his power.
Hosea very naturally falls in love with
Virgie, though he does not dare to tell
her of his love, and in spite
of his awkwafdness and countri-
fed ways she returns his affection.
To enable Hosea to get to New York
she induces her brother to offer him
position as his assistant in her fathers
office, promising to pay the salary her
self; but her father hears of it and,
influenced by Andrews, informs Hosea
that he shall not allow it. But Hosea
is bound to get to New York, and al
though money is offered him he will not
accept 1t, but walks. He has a hard
time of it there for a while; II lived
three days on so cents" but finally he
wins law suit that has been hanging
on for ten years, by which he becomes
the owner of more than half of Peaceful
Valley, and becomes, as he expresses it,
'almost Extensively rich" He finds his
sister, and it turns out thac she was
legally married to Andrews after all. He
wins Virgie and everything ends happily,

Hosea Howe, as played by Mr.. Rus
sci, is man awkward in figure and
homely in face, but his homely face
beams with such kindliness and good
will and sincerity and honesty that
one is irresistibly drawn to him. 1t
is of Mr.. Russell himself that L am
saving this as we'll as of the
fictitious Hosea Howe. Mr.. Russell is
not a handsome man, but his face comes
as near being that Of an angel as one
sees on this earth. 1t is very hard for
one who knows him to separate him
from the character he plays in Peaceful
Valley. He makes of Hosea Howe a
good man, but he never approaches be-
ing goody-goody. Hosea Howe's good
ness is of the kind which inspires liking
and respect, the kind which makes him
love and slow to believe evil of his fell
low men. 1t is essentially legitimate
creation, and the character is a very
lovable one. Mr.. Russells work has
always given me the keenest pleasure,
and everyone l have heard express an
opinion has been affected in the same
way as myself. He is certainly as well
worth seeing as any one on the stage.
