calling of selling coal, washing linen
and serving in farm, and the charbon-
Mere, the washerwoman and the farm
servant have received and divided among
them during the last few weeks 500 Of

the Cinderellas of Odessa, because their
strange fate found them out in that

sighed. when fate at last has found
them, writes Praed, and though these

A Novel Cosmetic.

To Berlin factory girl belongs the
credit of having found new cosmetic.
1t had been noticed for a long time that
every Saturday she would complain
about toothache, which always entirely
disappeared by Sunday morning. AS
sure as Saturday came around she would
be seen with her face swathed in band
ages, but otherwise attending to her
duties as usual. Finally the people be-
came curious as to what caused this reg
ular recurrence of the evil, and one day
the foreman in the factory loosened her
bandage, and, 10 there were two strips
of mustard plaster ON her cheeks. After
close questioning she confessed that she
had done the same thing every Saturday
in order to have nice red cheeks when
going to church ON Sunday morning.
The plasters hurt her somewhat, but
she preferred little pain in order to
appear more winsome at church in the
morning and at the dance in the after
