Science and wrinkles.

An italian scientist, NJ. Montegazzo.
has written an essay upon the science Of
wrinkles. He believes ones history can
be largely told by the lines upon the
fece. Entering into description OF the
different varieties and their meanings,
he says: Horizontal lines across the
forehead are found even in children
who are ricketts, or idiots and that being
out in the sun with the eyes unshaded
will produce them prematurely. but they
are natural at forty or even earlier. YER
teal lines between the eyes denote
thought and study, since deep concen-
tration contracts the eyebrows; grief
and worry produce the same effect. and

A WEATHER SIGNAL.

Secretary Lamont paid flying visit to
the city yesterday. He came fresh from
Gray Gables, is supposed to have made a
connecting link between President Cleve-
land and the Anti-Snappers, and went to
Washington this morning.

Fairchild. Perhaps he did. But there Is a
rumor also that he met Mr.. John d. Grim

have been given in the name of the

| tifes all who have given such enter
tainments that It desires to hear from
them. There Is no excuse for delay in
handing over moneys due this charity.
The free doctors have done great work
during the Summer. Their duties end
| to-day, but the influence they have
exercised in the homes of the poor and
for the threatened little lives In the
tenements will endure. They have made
several hundred thousand visits to fam
lilies, and treated nearly 10000 children
since the middle OF last May; These
figures, too. represent about the num-
Der OF babies that have been saved from
the grave.
THE Evening World" thanks the
thousands who have deemed the Sick
Babies Fund worthy OF their support
and have contributed so literally that
this has been It's banner year. The
prayers OF parents whose hearts have
been lightened and homes frightened by
the work OF the fund will ascend for
them. THE Evening World" thanks
the doctors, too. who have, done their
work so heroically and well with such
excellent results.

Women Who Risk Criticism.

To the Editor:
Many women believe themselves beautiful in
face and figure who not The gallantry
and Imagination OF man incline him to believe ia
vcrably Of any woman whom he likes or ad-
mires 10 he credits her with beauty OF limb until
he sees her bicycling or bathing. Very few women
can wisely risk criticism In these ways On such
displays by some women the comment OF the be-
holder to himself to others Is one OF ridicule.
Generally the comment is kept to himself. for he
thinks III ignorance is bliss, It's folly to- make
her wise. But the possessor OF even beautiful
limbs cannot anord to display them in public,
unless she 10 a professional and is satisfied to re-
ceivs pecuniary returns for the exhibition. The
best happiness OF the large majority OF women Is
found In the fondest regard Of one man and the
highest respect OF all. These are sacrificed to a
degree when a woman appears on the street
dressed In any way which displays more of the
figure than the customs of the average Of modest
women warrant. She may have a natural right
to go half clad. or to mako proposals of marriage
to her male friends but she cannot do these and
many othe. things without violating the safe
guards OF decorum and delicacy which foster the
exclusivenesS and modesty which are the most
valuable charm that woman has.
