New York.

| New York, Dec. 24.-Mrs. W. c. Whitney
formerly Randolph, is one of the most
beautiful women in New York Her enc
mics say she has too much bloom Her
! friends say she paints. But those who
know her well attribute her wonderful
complexion to the beauty secrets that
have been the proud possession of the
women of her family for ages. Her brill
! liant temperance in society has stimu-
lated the women of all smart sets to put
their best foot forward, and the news that
she will revive the old Dutch New Year
! call makes all feminine society scramble
toward the masseuses. the coiffures and
| beauty specialists.

her heart.

hairpins-savages use them not. But for
the woman who goes into fine toileting

is-martyrdom. That is, if you dislike the
smell of grease. And delicate noses do.
1t is singular thing that grease cannot
! be banished from the world of medicine,
from the field of bruises and burns, from
the scene of hurts and rednesses. Wher-
| ever there is distress upon the skin you
must look for grease to ease 1t.
