l. A tepid bath of twenty minutes
length and q shower bath of FIVE.
2. A rest of thirty minutes.
8. Face, throat and neck submitted
to a gentle friction of elder flower water,
mixed with half a goblet of warm water.
This removes all impurities from the
pores and gives the surface clear, ivory
hue.
4. Scented orris powder rubbed in
the hair and brushed out again, being
careful to remove all traces of it from
the temples and nape of the neck.
5. A delicate creme. similar 10 cold
cream. the juice of lettuce being the
chief ingredient, laid over the face, meek
and hands. After ten minutes remove
with a fine linen cloth. This is said to
obliterate traces of the contraction and
WEAKNESS of the features incident to
society or stage life. 1t is delicate
operation. neither to roughen the sur
face nor make it red. 1t should leave
the complexion polished and whitened.
q. VelOutine "a mixture of rice pow
der and bismuth, the latter giving per-
manency and the former delicacy TO the
preparation applied with care, prodac-
ing clear alabaster whiteness, with a
trace of luster, yet showing no sign of
any foreign substance.
Z. The eyebrows are smoothed with
small soft brush, leaving trace of farde
Indian, and with a leather eStampe a
soft shadow is laid under the eyes to in
crease their brilliancy.
To follow the foregoing directions
literally under all circumstances would
be difficult. 1t is quoted here to give
some idea of the manner in which age is
concealed by people who have made
concealment hne art. TO practical
person this may be simplified. We
know that bath is to refresh as we'll as
to make clean the person. A sponge
bath with little bay rum or alcohol
added to the water will both cleanse and
refresh. The shower bath creates
glow; this can be obtained by the sud
den application, after the bath, of
large towel wet with cold water, fol-
lowed by friction and gentle exercise.
Some people are too delicately organized
for such heroic treatment. The half
hour rest is no incOnsiderable factor in
the restoring process and deserves spe-
cial attention. If rightly taken it is
magic rejuyenator.

Mrs. Villas Welcomed Back.
Mrs. Senator Villas is by no means q
stranger to Washington or to its social
life. She was a social favorite here dur
ing the Cleveland administration, when
her husband served as secretary of the
interior and as postmaster general, and
she comes back 10 all friends. She is a
very pretty woman, is famous house
keeper, and she is thoroughly up in
everything pertaining to society. Her
daughter Moilie was one of the bellies of
Washington when Mrs. Cleveland was
IN the White house, and though Senator
Villas is now living at hotel he will
probably keep house here aud entertain
later in his senatorial career. Mrs.
Villas is the daughter of DR.. w. b. Fox
who was one of the ableSt and most
noted of Wisconsin physicians. He had
q large farm very near that which Sen
ator Villas father owned, and young
Villas used 10 ride over and court Annie

Madison is one of the finest in the West.

Jumping from Wisconsin to New
Hampshire we have another bright
woman in Mrs. Senator Gallinger. The
most of her life has been spent in Con-
cord, the capital of her state, where she
has had quite social career and where
her husband has been prominent in
professional and political life. Mrs.
GalliDger has been in Washington
somewhat during her husbands terms

has never paid much attention to
Washington society and has preferred a
quiet life to 1.-The social SWIM" She is

was teaching school in Cincinnati when
she met DR.. Gallinger. who was in the

Mrs. Senator Proctor is so we'll known
to the country that it is useless to give
much of description of her. She is a

from the secretary of war she became
noted here for social qualities, and her

at is a singular fact" said Manager
John F. Casey. of the Bell Telephone
Company's exchange, "that people had
to be educated to use telephone prop
erly. Not one person In ten goes at it
correctly. Some people think they have
to scream and bawI. Others go to the
other extreme and drop their voices al
most to whisper. Some stand too far
from the transmitter. and others speak
too rapidly or indefinitely. Then they
get mad and blame the girls or the tele-
phones. In nine cases out OF ten the
fault lies with the person speaking:

The best position is to stand with the

The girls were as busy as hello girls

A QUOTATION PARTY.
Description of Social and Pop
uiar Amusement.

ular Amusement.
One of the popular home amusements
of this winter promises to be the quo
tation party" says the New York Re-
corder. That it will prove welcome
relief to the run of card parties and
dances, and at the same time be highly
instructive to every one engaged in it,
will be easily gathered from these few
hints,
Let the hostess provide five tables and
invite twenty guests. Furnish each
table with four sheets of paper. On
each of these have written four we'll
known quotations from popular authors.
With each quotation sheet supply a
long card with spaces numbered from
one to eighty, and at the top of the card
write Name of author" On the first
or head table place bell.
The guests arrived. have them draw
lots to see at which table they will first
sit. This done and the guests seated.
the work of study begins. AS soon as
the guest recognizes an authors quota
ton, he marks on his authors card the
name of the author. Thus, if person
sits at the second table and finds in
front of him quotation slip numbered
70, "a, 25 and 26, he writes on the blank
spaces of the other slip corresponding
with these numbers the names of the
authors of quotations %. "a, 25 and &c.
Five or SIX minutes is the time al
lowed for study, and at the end of that
period the hostess rings her bell for
recess. She then examines the author
Slip of each contestant and crosses out
the name of each author that is wrongly
given. After this she rings the bell
again, and each contestant takes the
quotation slip to the right of him, re-
tanning his own authorship.
When the time limit has again ex-
pired, the slips are once more examined
as before and another change of uota-
ton slips is made. When all four slips
at the table have been examin ed, the
students change tables, those at No. 5
going to No. 4, those at to 8, to 2, 2
to l and to s.. The study then pro-
ceeds as before, and it is not ended un-
til all the quotation slips nave been ex-
amined.
The evenings study finished, the
hotess takes all the slips and announces
the names of the winners of the first,
second and BOBBY prizes. These prizes
ought to be books, and good selection
for New York students might be Walt
Whitman's poems for the first prize,
one of w. d. HowelI's stories for the
second and Mother Goose's melodies for
the BOBBY prize.

A party of explorers who have been

Horses of rare shape were there, and
three distinct species of camel, the

FAME, WEALTH, LIFE, DEATH

What is fame?
IT'S the sun CLEAN on the mountain,
Spreading brightly ere it flies;
IT'S the bubble on the fountain,
Rising lightly ere it dies;
Or, IL here and there hero
Be remembered through the years,
Yet to him the gain is zero;
II but only in the air
May be heard some eager mention of their
name.
Though they hear it not themselves it's
much the same.
What is wealth?
IT'S rainbow still receding
As the PARTING fool pursues;
Or toy that youth, unheeding,
Seeks the reader way to lose:
But the wise man keeps due measure,
Neither out of breath nor base;
But he holds in trust his treasure
For the welfare of the race
Yet what crimes some men will dare
But to gain their slender share
In some profit, though with loss of name or
health,
In some plumber spent on vices or by
stealth
What is life?
TITS the earthly hour of trial
For the life that's just begun;
| When the prize of self-denial
May be quickly lost or won;
IT'S the hour when love may burgeon
To the everlasting flower;
Or when lusts their victims urge on
To defy immortal power.
Yet how lightly men ignore
All the future holds in store
Spending brief but golden moments all in
strife.
Or in suicidal madness grasp the knifel
What is death?
Past its dark. mysterious portal
Human eyes may never roam:
Yet the hope still springs immortal
That it leads the wanderer home.
oh, the bliss that lies before US
when the secret shall be known.
And the vast angelic chorus
Sounds that HYMN before the thronel

ONLY THE FEW.

There are many birds in the nests in spring.
There are many buds that promise give
There are many songs that the poets sing,
But only the few will live.
There are many children to laugh and play,
And many battles for youth to fight,
And many brave oil through the heat of day.
But only the few till night
There are many hearts in this world to beat.
And many eyes to see wondrous things.
And many ears to hear music sweet,
But only the few have wings.
