Collections of Arm. and Armor,

Lord Ashburnham is credited with
having the finest collection of arms and
armor of any private individual in the
United Kingdom. It contains, with
very few exceptions, specimens of all
styles and ages ever in use throughout
the world, and is valued at e85, 200. The
finest collection on the Continent Of Eu-
rope was owned by the late Count Daun
at Schloss Voltun, its owners seat in
Bohemia, and was the labor of fifty
years, and valued ut e12,000. The
finest armory in the world is that which
is found in the tower of London.
The Earl Of Warwick at Warwick
Castle possesses one of the finest collec-
tions in the country, while that owned
by Mr.. Henry Irving is, in many re-
spects, unsurpassed. Up to few years
ago the finest collection in the world
was found at Goodrich court, in Here
fordshire, and belonged to Mr.. Harold
Charles Moffatt. The collection was
created by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick,
LII. D., the famous antiquary, who pub
hshed catalogue of the treasures it
contained in 1928. The Musee d'Artil-
lerie at Paris contains one of the richest
and best organized collections in Europe.

what Ono Doctor Advised.

A lady whose thick sallow skin caused
unceasing worry, consulted an eminent
physician as to a possible cure; his an
swer was more forcible than courteous:
"Well, in the first place, go home and
wash your face and hands clean" Hor-
rified she declared that she had washed
them several times during the day.
"What / mean is this, wash with soap
thoroughly" Ahl she had never used
soap on her face.
When upon returning home she used
the soap, then rinsed in clear water, she
was quite mortified to find her face actu-
ally dirty. In obedience to the doctors
advice this lady pursued the following
course, which may prove beneficial to
others: Every night just before retiring
she bathed face, neck and hands thor
oughly in soapsuds, using, Of course,
fine toilet soap; then rinsed in clear wa,
ter and dried the skin on soft Turkish
towel, rubbing until quite free from
moisture. IL any sign of roughness or
sunburn appeared, few drops of glyc-
erin were rubbed in. Good Housekeep.

Colora In Men'a Dress.

Down in the business quarter you won't
know the difference between summer and
winter clothes this season. Light hues are
all the style for day wear, and many man
will be credited with wearing a summer
suit this December when he is simply com
plying with the, dictates of fashion. The
cloth is, Of course, great deal heavier
than that used in summer and fall suits,
but the shades are just the same and the
tint not very different. Black clothing for
winter wear Is always best, and gives more
service than highly colored goods.
The natty spring effects which will greet
you on the street this winter will be well
come relief, however, and will lend less
somber tone to men on dark aud rainy
days. The cloth used ia of better quality
than most of Che black suits worn. The
new fad is simply for daylight. AS soon
as night comes you Rave got to don dress
suit, a Prince Albert, which is returning
to favor, or three buttoned, long tailed
cutaway. " ith four suits made in these
styles you can be in the swim very easily.
