PEACH CHEEKS AND PIE
FACES.
New York World.

Miss Maude B ,uks, in the course
some remarks which she gave to
the breeze at the Garden theater
yesterday, while discussing "The
Twentieth Century Woman," ask d
this question: 81 wonder if the
time will ever come when an earn
est, strong face in woman will
be as good to the general sight
as peach complexion Of a lam
gushing eyea"
! We think not, Msude. All the
documentary evidence in existence,
and traditions going back as far as
six thousand years, show that the
peach complexion has had the
call every time, and that it has
been a sort of lead-pipe cinch all
along for the languishing eye, also.
The strong, earnest face hasn't
been in it-nos even little bit.
Women who want to remain in
the woman business had better
keep on cultivating the peach bloom
in their cheeks, and the more
languish they can put into theiI
eyes without squirting them, th'
more soulful will be the yearnings
of the other sex for them. Peach
blown cheeks and l,nguishing eye
come high, even when the woman
buys them in a drug store, but
The men seem to be willing to pay
the price and to throw in slimony
afterws DIS too.
1t is not probable that Mis-
Banks shrek for the strong, ear
nesl-faced woman will cause any

Toned and dreamy-eyed to want
to change their faces. 1t is the
women that. have features with
cl ck-stopping records who are the
mainstays of the facial renovating

these pulchrtudinous days. They

If any, genuine sOle-leather trunk

from 1850 to 1860 seldom exceeded
80 inches in length. In the next

This Justly aroused all the pent-up
enmity of the baggage master, and
he has never quite recovered from it.
The fashion IN trunks changes al
most every five years; the immense
arched top TIN trunk, SO popular a
few years ago, is now archaic, and
the flat-tOpped canyaS-cOvered trunk
is the proper thing, with the carriage
and steamer trunk in favor. Even

The evening before the court
