and In the short time on the train hid

which she carried, and which he took from
her hand, opened the way for his remark
that he could offer her no music, but that
he had at his house some fine paintings

ant optical effect upon tho human face.
To the avoidance Of this effect, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, a certain French
student has recently been giving his at
tention, with the result that he has pro.
duced q face powder that is as delicate and
fine as the popular article made from rice.
/. The foundation of this luminous pow
der is sulphate OF quinine, which has been
dissolved in alcohol and Is mixed with
sulphate of zinc. It is called prosphores-
cent, or fluorescent, because it retains it's
brilliancy for several hours in the hottest
sun. In addition to being an adjunct Of
womankind to heightcn, beauty, it has
been found to protect its user from the de-
pressing effect of the sun. The face is first
dampened by tho lotion made from the
,quinine and alcohol and is then powdered
with the sulphnte of Zinc. Ak Vi 3 s9 s. 4 I.
The only objection to the powder the
faint of selfshness that attends it,. When
the lady has completed her toilet, sho
plunges her powder puff into the box Of
luminous powder and passes it sparingly
over her face and neck. From that mo-
ment she takes a brilliant color that is as
delicate and rs conspicuous as the pure

the effect of giving to all other faces in the
immediate vicinity a citron yellow tint

could possibly have been selected for
the initistory ceremonies. The early
trains from adjacent towns were loaded
down with passengers, and most
of them went straight from the
ferries to the park, where
with those of the city residents who
realized how to see the procession at its
best, they took possession of every seat
and every knoll along the sides of the
north drive and waited patiently. If
"all roads led to Rome" in times past.
certainly all roads seemed to lead to the
park, for from the east and west and
north and south people came in holiday
garb and with holiday faces, which
were all turned toward that one especial
point.
Down town the streets were almost
deserted, for almost every one who
owned or could hire carriage, or who
could hustle up car fare or, failing that,
was well and strong enough to walk,
Joined in the general exodus parkward.
Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues
were thickly lined with sight-seers, but
thousands OF people went ahead of the
parade, and every available space in the
panhandle and along the line of march
from there to the exposition gates was
simply packed with spectators.
AS for the parade, it was success

from beginning to end. Soldiers in their
brilliant uniforms, waving banners,
proudly stepping horsss, rattling gun
carriages and their grim burdens, pretty
girls with their huttering flags, gray old
veterans, different societies, and all
other objects OF interest in the long line,
combined to form q picture which, to-
gether with the inspiring musicof many
bands, roused the enthusiasm OF the
spectators to the highest point.

ner in which they performed the vari-
GUS evolutions; they and the naval re-
serve, whose uniforms, though dark in
color. are particularly picturesque and
noticeable, were cheered heartily at
different points in their onward march.
As the procession entered the exposi-
ton gates and wound along between the
palatial buildings on it's way to the
grand stand, where it disbanded, the
scene from Strawb berry hill was most
magnificent. Through the black crowd
OF people it slowly made its way, looking
like nothing so much as an enormous
and brilliantly colored python, instinct
with life.

the opening day of the fair was. in their
estimation. an unlimited success.
Extra cars having been put on all
the lines there was little difficulty about
handling the crowd on its homeward
way, and in carrying up the many who
returned for the evening. The fireworks
attracted large crowd in the vicinity
OF the grand siand, and were magnifi-
cent enough to well deserve the hearty
applause with which they were received.
1t was a tired crowd which made ite
way home under the starlight, but it
was well-satisfied crowd. too, for every
one in it felt that the day had been
what they hope and believe the fair will
be--a perfect success.
After passing through the turnstiles
at the main entrance 70 the grounds, the
greater portion of the crowd seemed to
have no definite plan of viewing the
manifold attractions, but drifted aim
lesslv along after those who preceded
them, until some special feature pre-
sented itself and caused them to drop
out of the procession for time.
The remarkable scope of the fair
seemed to be the first impression made
upon the thousands of visitors, and ex-
pressions OF surprise and commendation
were heard at every turn. People from
