The rapid degeneracy Of present day

Both these contempts are bred of the
French lack of any frank relations be-

She Used the Wrong Powder.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel.

A young lady living on North Meridian
street had an experience the other evening.
She was upstairs and had just turned out
her light when she heard q caller ask for
her. She made a dive for her powder-pufr
in the dark and busted her face with pow
der. She went to the parlor and found q
distinguished stranger, on whom she was
anxious to make an impression. He ap-
peared rather nonplussed at her looks, but
being man Of the world, which means q
man wise enough not to tell q woman her
faults. he said nothing. She sat and chat
ted gracefully. and had a delightful even

the mirror as every girl does when her
beau leaves. She gave one scream and
went of into Mysteries. for in her haste and
the dark she had dipped her powder puff
into box Of pulverized charcoal, and she
had the makeup Of an amateur colored
minstrel The contrast to her dainty or
candle gown and blonde hair was very fun
