OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
Her Complexion Fair.

The summer girls complexion is a sub
ject of much discussion. An optimistic
dermatologist, writes Harrydele Hallmark,
who discusses the subject has lately pro
mulgated the theory that sunburn Is rather
a good thing in its way. The action of the
sun upon the skin is really beneficial, he
says, and il is only in the first place that the
effect is unpleasant. After the sunblrn mas
worn off the texture of the skin is tner'
smoother and more elastic than 1t was be-
fore.
At the same time The summer girl does
not care to appear in the guise OF an IN
dian. and she would prefer to improve
the texture of her skin in less trying ways
than burning it, Consequently she carries
with her various lotions and emolllents'
Cold cream, benzoin, witch-hazel and lemon
juice are among the necessities of the
summer campaign. Cold cream rubbed into
the face, rubbed lishtly Off again ana dust
ed with powder will help the girl who goes
sailing from returning with lobster
hued complexion. A veil of net or chiffon
should be- worn after this operation, not
only because it aids in protecting the face
from sunburn, but because it hides the
cream ard powder combination.
When ones best precautions fail and
sunburn does attack one, it must be treated
with due regard to its severity. If it is
light attack battle the face with a dilution
of witch-hazel in hot water every ten min
utes for am hour. Then rub in little cold
cream and steam the face over boiling
water with benzoin i'm it. Finally wash it
in cold water and toilet vinegar, rub more
cold cream on it ana sleep for a couple of
hours. The skin will be not only free from
sunburn, but soft and smooth after this
treatment
There is nothing which "sets" tan so ir
revocably as cold water. The young person
who washes her face in cold water when
she rushes in from the tennis court or the
beach has given hostages to LONELINESS,
and not whole pharmacy full of lotions
viii avail to cure her until the tan has
worn off. Water hot as it can be borne
should be used. AS not every farmhouse
or hotel boasts this complexion cure at
all hours of the day, the wise damsel
keeps an alcohol lamp in her room, and
over 1t she heats water at any time she
needs il.
Once upon time a young woman camp
ed out with her brothers. She was told by
them that to smear her face and neck lib
orally with turpentine would guarantee
her safety from all the insects which make
camp life a burden to womankind She
acted upon the suggestion somewhat re-
luctantly TO be sure, and went about for
a fortnight in a state which she described
as "smeary and smudgy." At the end of
that time when Turkish bath and a face
steaming had done their work, she discov-
cred that her complexion was more beau
tiful than it had been since the DAYS of
her infancy. She now counts refined turpen-
tine as the best of lotions.

WILL BE a DUCHESS 81
Rumorcd Engagement of Miss Con-
sueIo Vanderbilt.

From The New York Advertiser
IYndetcrred by the matrimonial lnfellci-
ties of her mother. Miss Consuelo Wander
bilt daughter of Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt
who recently was divorced from her mil
ionaire husband, William X. Vnderbilt,
is about to become engaged. so Dame Ru-
NOR SAYS to the young duke OF Marloor-
ough. In other words, if this be true, and
all the gossips say that it is, then one
more impecunious British nObleman hs
csptured an American heiress. The ancient
name of Marlborough Will then be united
in the more or less permanent bonds OF
wedlcck to the plebeian name of Wander
bilt. with it's millions in place Of noblesse
oblige.
Both the parties in this contemplated
union between blue blood and hard cash
are young, but they move in the fashioEa-
bic set of their respective countries. The
present duke of Marlborough is mainly
celebrated for his American stepmother,
Lady Beresford formerly Mrs. Hamersiey.
formerly Miss Lily Price, of Troy.
Mrs. Harmersley is distinguished for nu-
.nSsro-rs reasons. anons Them that Sine
married the present dukes father in 1887
in the city hall Mayor Hewitt officiating
and afterwards honoring the blushins bride
by kissing her aristocratc lips Then, too,
she restored the ancestral halls of the
Marlboroughs by expending 100000 of the
money lctL " uSI previous litA9bhiids M
Hamersley, in repairing the leaks and
plumbing of the aforementioned halls. In
gratitude for this display of lavish gener-
osity the duke, her husband. had the bad
taste to die in 1891, leaving her a dowager
duchess, which means, when translated into
plain American slang, that she was from
thenceforth Il back number.
But the American duchess was not to be
pushed back to easily, and last May she
made her reappearance on the matrimonial
STAGE and blossomed forth as Lady William
Beresford the wife of one of Wales most
intimate friends and Il former confirmed
bachelor.
Then she left the Marlborough ancestral
halls, and the young duke had them all to
himself Becoming tired of the company
of his ancestors ghosts. he plunged into
the solemn gayety of London society, where
fall in love with a girl worth two or three
times as much the late Miss Anna
Gould. so that the duke found no difficulty
I'm losing his heart-so il is said.
Miss Vanderbilt is seventeen years old,
and while not transcendently beautiful, is
yet pleasing, and has winning manners.
She made her social debut last witer at
the horse show. and attracted much al
tentiun by the simplicity of her costumes
and the democracy of her ways. She is
said to be rather domestic in her tastes.
of late she has contracted the bicycle
habit, but this will no doubt be overlooked
by the duke in view of the fact that mar
riage with her will enable him to make fur
Their repairs to his ancestral halls.
Just how Mr.. Vanderbilt looks upon the
rumOTed union is not known, but il is GER
tain that he is very fond of his children,
and that he will not permit his daughter
to contract an unsuitable match.

a returned traveller is quoted as saying,
the empress called together the ladies
of her court TO consult with them in regard

women made WAS to give up ali entertain

ties. which had hitherto been given with
great expense ana luxury, were not to be
thought of, but the money used at these
functions was to be devoted 10 the relief
of the brave soldiers.
The empress then sent for The chief sur
geon and asked his advice and it was de-
ciGcd that bandages and lint for the
wounded be made. \ part OF the palace
set apart for this purpose and there
her majesty assembled her court every
day for four hours and with her own hands
cut and made the baudaseS, and, assisted
by her women, furnished all that We're
