Charms that begin to fade, says the
commercial Advertiser, are the bane of

fessional beauty, and a clever American
woman has taken advantage of that bit of
weakness in her sister to reap rich har-

Patti has the treatment administered
to her every spring at her Welsh castle.
She brings the New York masseuse over
and entertains her for a month and half
at Craig-y-Nos. There she religiously
goes through the ordeal with as much
conscience and earnestuess as if she were
in a retreat. For six years she has re-
heated this method. 1t is no doubt that
partly to this fact she owes that splendid
skin which seems to defy years of hard
work. With her usual generosity, the
diva gives, after each treatment, some
souvenir to the little masseuse.
None but the rich deserve this fairness
it seems, for the bill for the six weeks is
$500.

women to prevent tan and soften the

Mrs. Jerry Cartel of near Trimble
Tenn, has Just broken rash VOW which
she made over twelve months ago. and
which she sOrro wfully regretted having
ever made, says the st. Paul Dispatch
About eighteen months ago Mrs. Cartel
was Miss Fannie Bramney, beautiful
young lady of Is years, and Jerry Cartel
was her favored sutton. But, as is gen
orally the case with young lovers, a quar-
rel arose between them, and in the heat
of passion Miss Fannie angrily babe her
lover to leave her presence, and vowed by
high heaven she would never speak to
him again. The disconsolate lover took
his departure, but, as he fairly worshiped
the girl, he ardently set out to effect a
reconciliation At last, in answer to a
pitiful pleading letter, Miss Fannie re
Tented and penned him loving, forgiving
message.
Overjoyed at the happy termination of
affairs, he hurried TO the home of Miss
Fannie, and was received warmly and af-
fectionately, but without word of well
come. Taking tablet and pencil from a
desk, she began written conversation,
as though she could not speak word.
Cartel pleaded the usefulness and fool
ishness of such proceedings, but in vain
as his sweetheart positively refused to ut
ter word to him. She is very devout, a
member of the Methodist church, and
was firmly impressed with the IDEA that
II she should break her rash vow God
would punish her by striking her dumb
when she could speak to no one She was
constantly on her guard for fear she
might forget and speak to her lover
thereby bringing this terrible visitation
upon her.
The courtship proceeded with pencil
and paper for several months, when they
were joined together in the holy bands of
matrimony. During their married life of
year Mrs. Cartel never spoke to her
husband until some days ago.
Last Christmas Mr.. Cartel made his
wife present of handsome and costly
pair Of vases. The other morning the
husband was bringing in an arm of wood,
and struck one of the vases and knocked
II to the floor and broke it into hundred
different pieces.

been stricken dumb. To ascertain the
correctness of her belief she spoke to

In the happiness of hearing his wife
