Said a woman who has not looked into a
mirror for many years: Il have been ever
SO much more amiable since I quit. I
used TO catch sight OF myself inadvert-
emily in plate glass windows. but I avoid
even that now, and am happier for 1t.

See a French woman. says the Phiia-
delphia Times, come into a restaurant.
No matter how tight her cOrsage is. she
raises first one hand and then the other,
and by Few deft touches her veil is of.
When she wants it on again, she gets Il
back in place in the same magical way.
On the CONTRARY. an American or an Eng
lish woman, under the circumstances, has
to drop all interest in the conversation in
| order TO wrestle with her veil, and per-
| haps even has TO have assistance before
she accomplishes her purpose"
To wear a veil right Is an art, but no
| degree of art can render one Of these hord-
| cred atrocities becoming, and women Will
continue to buy them because they are
something new"
How do you like that2" asked her
| friend, as a young girl entered the car
| wearing a black mottled-looking veil with
! her sailor hat.
"A great mistake" decided the judge of
wells, after one glance. THAT kind Of
| veil makes a woman's face look blistered,
or else it has the appearance of being
| worn to hide pimples or blotches. A girl
| as young as that ought not to wear a Vel

cy which a veil gives land l always feel

PATHS rentree into London, after an abb

| cess. Stalls sold as high as $50, which, for
| English opera rates, was very high. Crit
les say that she has reconquered London,
| and although there was certain amount
! of effort apparent in her higher notes. all
| her middle and lower notes were as mel
| low and perfect as they were a dozen or
twenty years ago. while her acting is in

| that such an Incompatible voice should
ever be silenced!
AS one Of the great heiresses of this
country and as a prospective bride Miss
| Edith Rockefeller is deeply interesting to
the public just now
Miss Rockefeller always has afforded
the keencst delight to one portion of this
! great city, the sick and suffering; but her
| repeated refusals to appear in the giddy
whirl of society have shielded her from
much of the inquisitive probing of the gos-
| sip and news seeker. Now that her en-
| gagement TO Harold Mccormick is an
N+@~
| countless Millions which she will enjoy
after she is married attracts new attention
| to her.
The story of her love affair as told by
Constance Merrifeld, is as follows:
1t is seldom that a man gets such a
home angel that it is worth while knowing
how Harold Mccormick, that clean-faced
young man, hampered by good looks and
so much money, happened to make such
good selection. AS matter of act, young
Mccormick has always admired Miss
Rockefeller from afar, on account of the
camaraderie she enjoys with her father
One night, at little gathering at the
Rockefeller house, the host, Mr.. Rookie
Teller, was asked to play.
Il cannot play tonight" he replied,
laughingly, but little sadly, because
Edith is not at home. She plays the cello
to my violin, and when / am making
mistake she touches me gently with her ell
bow, and l look around for what is wrong.
I get the credit and she does the work
beforehand, so as to be we'll UP on my part
of the music Don't ask me to play when
Edith is. away"
This delighted the young man, who is Of
a sentimental turn of mind, and her nat
urally bright features became very lovely
to him. At Christmas her sister, Alta,
showed him a thousand Christmas boxes
which Edith had filled for poor children,
and she unrolled great mccoy CLOUDS OF
worsted crocheted by the same nimble
fingers. II want that girl for my wife"
young Mccormick said to his father. Get
her il you can, my son. replied McCor-
mick, senior, seeing the all-around worth
in a wey even his son failed to do, 'but
manage 1t in the old-fashioned way Steal
her away on horseback at dead of night,
for it's the only way you will ever get
her. Her fatherll fight you from the start"
And fight the parents did. How could
they let her go easily? Then came a long
conditional engagement. The young woman
was to travel abroad year, and the young
man finish at Princeton. On the day of his
graduation the engagement should be an
nounced, if meanwhile each were of the
same mind. And. of course, nothing chang
ed them.
A New York dentist, says the New York
Times, who stands in the front rank Of his
profession, said not long ago that he was
almost prepared to say that absolutely
clean tooth structure need never decay"
1t was a strong argument In favor of the
careful, persistent care of the teeth, GER
tainly, and a small price to pay for the
great privilege of keeping sweet, strong,
ana serviceable our molars and bicuspids.
