Practical Suggestions Which Beginners

VIII Find Very Useful.
In choosing brush for water color work
or for varnish do not mOistcn it, as is usu.
ally done, until you first flatten 1t out be.
tween thumb and finger and hold it up to
the light. If there are short or broken
hairs in the brush, they will then appear,
and If the brush is of good, elastic hair it
will regain its pointed shape when i'm
merscd in water.
Wash your paint brushes Immediately
after using them, first with turpentino or
benzino and then with soap and lukewarm
water. Rinse thon well in clear water,
and then lay the hair smooth and straight
with the finger and thumb, pressing out
tho surplus water.
When brushes are put away, not to be
used for some days or weeks, after rinsing
with turpcntine they should be soaked in
sweet oil to prevent their drying hard and
be kept free from dust in covered box.
If brush becomes bent it can be
Strengthened provided the hairs are not
broken, by'tirst mOistening it with sweet
oil and then drawing it between the fin
gers and any hard, warm substance, such
as a clean, warm-nOt hot-poker.
If brush gets clogged with paint, heat
little turpentino by setting it on fire and
smothering the blaze when it is warm.
Then work the brush free from tho paint
In the hot turpentine with the fingers.
If you wish TO shorten long brush, in
stead of cutting off the end, which would
spoil 1t, wrap IA little paper around the
bottom of the brush and tie it with thread.
1t can then be restored at any time to its
original shape by simply removing the
paper and oiling the brush with olive oil.
Oil brushes may be prevented from dry.
ing hard by keeping them in water, but
turpentine Is greatly preferable,
Varnish brushes should not be touched
with oil or water, but should either be
thoroughly cleaned and be put away dry,
or should be kept in the varnish in which
they are used. The water, oil or varnish
should come onlyto the roots of the brush,
not to the binding, says The Art Amateur,

ing the hair look as If the process Of ar
rangement had occupied three minutes Of
her time instead of an hour.
The French style Of tossing the hail
back pompadour in very high rolls is a very
trying one to any but small oval faces
with low foreheads, and very few women
can adopt it with good effect. The Ameri.
can woman's pompadour is as pretty and
infinitely more becoming because 1t Is
lower and arranged in waves instead OF
decided rolls, with few tendrillike curlt
drawn out on the forehead at either side.
The hair at the back is loosely gathered
up in knot little above the nape of the
neck and fastened with q comb 1t may
look rs If it were going to tumble down
any moment, but 1t never does II you have
caught the Frenchwoman' art correctly.
The one aim In dressing tho hair, as set
forth by the journal mentioned, should be
the most becoming effect rather than the
most fashionable style, so the woman
with long, narrow face should never at.
tempt the pompadour and should always
wear the part in the middle. In the latest
arrangement Of this sort the hair is curled
in front, parted well back, drawn down
over the ears and caught up at the back in
the most neglige sort Of q knot, below
which are two short curls. If the head is
exactly suited to this STYLE 1t is very stun
ming. A pretty twist for the back is made
by forming knot In the center and twist
ing the hair around it to form half of q
figure below the knot.
Puffs are seen again and are very effect.
I've with the pompadour style in front and
three long, soft puffs arranged across the
head In the back. Side combs fully six
inches long are worn on either side, so
that they almost form a circle around the
chignon. Puffs are also arranged in va.
rious ways, either high or low, on the
head, and fancy pins in Jet, rhinestones,
shell and gold are a conspicuous feature OF
hairdressing three or four small pins be-
ing used at one time.

LleAT AND SHADOW.

You who Judge by what you see,
Often fail TO Judge Alright:
Stars are shining solemnly,
In the day as In the night:
All the day they lie concealed
BY the glory Of the sun,
But at eve they stand revealed
In the es..-,. ore by one.
30 the daylight Of smile
May but veil the human face
Hiding for little while
Doubt and care and sorrows tracej
So, when shadow clouds Of woe
Ger happy face arise,
Still beneath the shadows glow
Stars OF iy in gentle eyes.
Life is arohed with changing skies,
Rarely are they what they seem
Smiles we have, and also sighs--
Much we know, but more we dreamj
Look beneath the outward show,
To the shadow or the light,
And from what you purely know
Learn TO see and Judge Alright.

Without the glarnor of stage settings
and clothed in their frowsy street
dress, almost any one would be willing
to wager a million dollars to a. cent
that the show would fall flat before it
got a dozen miles away from New
York, and usually he would win, or
come close to it.
In the large theatres things have a
more optimistic look, but the outsider
if ne could take a peep into one Of
them while the work of preparing for
a new play was going on, would think
that everything had a dreadfully
mixed up look about it.
THE STAGE MANAGERS IMPORT
ANCE.
Staging a play nowadays is no
child's task. Good new plays are al
ways scarce, and the fundamental
work of all clever stage managers is
to make a poor play seem good by the
brilliancy of its trappings. In the re-
hearsing he must force the players to
wiring every ounce of merit out of their
lines and then he must work on the
electrician, the scenic artist, the prop
erty man, the carpenter and the mas
ter mechanic to devise novelties which
will cover up the many weak spots.
He must know how to direct each of
these functionaries, and to do so he
must have a. detailed knowledge of
their respective lines of work.
All stage managers in the large the
aires, when they take hold of a new
play, have what is called a scene

ANIMALS AT SEA.
Lions, Tigers, Monkeys and other
Animals Suffer From Seasickness.

Lions, Tigers, Monkeys ana Other
Animals Suffer From Seasickness.
Human beings are not the only ones
who suffer from sea-sickness by any
means. One hears a great deal about
the pangs that have filled men and wo-
men with woe, but little is said of the
menageries brought to England every
year. or carried hither and thirther in
wave-tossed boats. Lions and tigers
may be majestic when they have I'M
wavering earth or rock against their
paws but a sea-sick cat of these tribes
is as miserable as any man ever was,
and does not look a bit more kingly
than q wet rabbit Even its roars and
growls have a. weeping sound in them,
quite in keeping with the general ap-
pearance of the beast.
A monkey is as pitiful an object when
it is Sea-sick as any other beast so
stricken, and its forlorn facial express
sion is SO human-Hke, and the way 1T
clasps its paws across its stomach is
so natural, that the man who is not
sea-sick necessarily sees something to
laugh at in the misery of the creature.

TUNES of the players.
Every large theatre has an immense
amount of scenery and furniture al
ways on hand and unless the new play
is exceptionally like the staging of a
comic opera there is usually enough
for the master mechanic and the prop
erty man to fill the bili down to the
smallest details If the scenery on
hand is not quite what it should be

scenic artist is set to work on them
and &ae emergency is soon met.
When all Of the big work has been
disposed of he scene shutters are
drilled to make the play move swiftly.
Between the acts everything on the
stage seems to be chaotic, but it is
really the height Of order. The clean
ers. the cheapest of the stage help,
tackle a scene the instant the curtain
falls, and while some of them brush off
the furniture, rugs, ETC., others grab
the walls of a room and run them off.
The ceiling is hoisted out of the way
in trice, and the next instant the
shutters are running the new scene into
place.
The scenery of a play is all kept
together in one place, the large scenes
resting against the wall with the face
turned inward. That which is to be
used in the last act is against the wall.
while that for the first act is on the
outside In this way the shutters work
down through the scenery from act to
act with little connection. After the
play the scenes are adj placed in Che
same order again for the next perform
ance When play drags on the open
ing night it is usually due to the I'M
familiarity of the scene shifter with
the scenic effects, and now they are
drilled as carefully as the others.
