FOR THE GIRL WHO FRECKLEs.
What to Use on the Face and What
to Wear.

What to Use on the Face and What
to Wear.
Freckles are a great grievance with
many a summer girl, especially the fair
skinned, light-haired type. Summer free
kles, though, are not as bad aR those which
last the year around. as they are the re-
suit Of exposure to wind and rain. and can
usually be avoided with a little care. The
white-skinned, auburn-haired girl, who suf-
fers from this kind Of freckles, learns how
to wear colors which, go far toward con.
! cealing these little dishgurements. Clear
feecy white is the best dress possible aftel
days outing. A dry friction of the Skin
| Is safe treatment, as Is frequent bathing
with pure soap and water.
A perfectly harmless and exceedingly
pleasant lotion for freckles may be made
from the following prescription: Sperma-
ceti, seven grains: white wex. fifteen
grains; white CASTLE soap. in powder. half
drachm; oil Of almonds, half drachm
bitter almonds. three drachms: sweet al
monds, one ounce; rectifled spirits.
three ounces: distilled water. seven
ounces; ottar of roses, three minims.
Blanche the almonds in water and quickly
dry in clean cloth. then beat into paste
with the soap. Melt the wax. spermacetl
and oil together in a small dish: pour the
fluid into the almond paste ana beat we'll

very soothing and pleasant to use. and
helps not only to protect the skin. but to
keep 1t fair and smooth.
Fair skins change most in the hot sum-
mer days. Sometimes the outer or scarf
skin. being extremely thin, peels off in
flakes, causing much pain and incon-
veuience. To prevent this occurring, bathe
the face two or three times a day with
buttermilk or good skin lotion and wear
a gauze veil as protection.

There was present at this delectable and

Gus good stories. and one related a. tale he had

Maria, get up! I've thought of a better
word We listened to this story with ad-

man remarked with wave Of the red rose

An Orthodox and, Ideal Garment for
Athletic Purposes. e ~
There are some few modes which, like
the poor, we have always with us, .snd Of
these the Norfolk Jacket is undoubtedly
one. Each year, as the touring period
commences, novelties in this direction are
presented 70 US with greater or less sue
cess. The Norfolk Is an ideal garment
for all athletic purposes, the contsruction
being such that, while presenting q per-
fectly neat and trim appearance, It yet
permits Of perfect freedom.
| In its best and most orthodox form. the
plaits are laid in one. with the material

that these are added, though very skilfully
disguised by the little waist-strap beneath

Autumn Coats.

Although II Is a little carly, perhaps. tc
speak Of autumn modes, still 1t may be Q
relief to learn that the short. full-basqued
coat has departed. A more trying and unbe-
coming mode never came into vogue the
slight, lissome American figure never seemed
really capable of adapting Itself to the perky
little extension, and we shall all welcome
with Joy the longer and moro gracefully de-
fined shaping. although the increased length
will not be apparent for some time. probably,
except in so far as the decreased width will
tend toward that effect. 1t Is rumored from
reliable quarters that tight -Htting coats are to
be pressed Into service again. There is some
thing so emnently neat, trim and stylish
about these shapely garments virtues entirely
lacking In the loose-fronted short coats OF
the past year. The small sleeve. too, will
help considerably toward the compact. well
set-up appearance beloved Of the American
woman, and In which she has no rival.

His costly velvet cape, Gloves and FER
fumes
The squires shoes were of a very
plain and solid make, little better than
those provided for his laboTers; and
such was his economy that he bought
leather and had them resoled by a cob
bier living at the chateau, says the
Gentleman's Magazine. He was much
more particular about his headgear
Felt hats were brought by sea from
Rouen to Cherbourg. Gomberville
paid 25 francs for his own, while those
of his servants were not more than q
third of that price. His rich velvet
cape cost nearly 40 francs. The squire
had a peculiar weakness for perfumes,
which he distilled on the spot, such as
rose water, Damascus water, eau la
mode" etc, and he did not think it
beneath his dignity to go and gather
the pinks at neighboring monastery.
He was also very fastidious with re-
gard to his gloves, and would pay IL
francs a pair for them A word may
be added as to the arrangements for
the table at the chateau The flour
was ground and the bread made at
home, although when there was not
time to do so a loaf of twelve pounds
would be bought from the baker for 3
francs. He paid higher price when
he expected friends, and especially the
cure Of Cherbourg, who was somewhat
Of an epicure. There is little said
about pastry, except the "gateau des
rois,' so essential to the festivities Of
Twelfth Night or Epiphany. The des-
serts consisted Of cheese honey fresh
and dried fruits, oranges and grenades
from the south, with great variety OF
wines Generally the preference was
given to solid food, Sometimes oxen
and sheep were slaughtered az home,
sometimes choice morsels were bought
at the town, and wonderfully cheap
they were. On one occasion the half of
a calf and pound of candles were pur-
chased for 8 francs. Kids were much
in request for special entertainments.
Pork was then, as now, a favorite ar
ticle of diet among the peasants. One
day, when going to the chase, he rose
at o'clock and breakfasted on pork
and herring himself The fact speaks
well for his digestive powers-unless
he had reason to repent of the indul-
gence Special luxuries were occasion
ally provided at his table, as when the
servant of a nefRhbor brought him an
Indian cock and hen he was so pleased
that he gave the messenger a pour.
boire Of francs This little circum-
stance is not without interest, as show
ing that the turkey was not then un-
known in France, and throwing doubt
on common tradition that this bird was
first introduced there by the Jesuits
and served at the royal table of Charles
TX, 1871. Fish appears often on the
squires board, as his chateau was near
the sea, and the rivers also furnished
good supply.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

cipItated the Trouble
Eva II Deposed.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Relative TO
the causes Of Ballington Booths re-
tiremeut from the command OF the
Salvation army in the United States,
the following Is published here: Some
time ago Ballington Booth submitted
10 his father twenty-five grievances
and asked for remedy and relief from
them. The principal one was concern
ing the War Cry approximation
fund
The sale Of the War Cry in this eoun-
try was sanctioned by General Booth,
who agreed TO ten per cent Of the
sales being set apart for fund for
disabled and superannuated soldier
1t was with this agreement and under.
standing that the paper was sold in
this country This fund now amounts
TO probably IS, 900 or $4,000.
Some time ago, it is claimed, GEN
eral Booth sent for this money, which
he intended using for army purposes
elsewhere, thus divertirg It from its
original purposes. Ballington Booth
declined TO accede to this demand, and
said the fund was for the American
army's superannuaIcd soldiers, and
not for the extension of the army.
Immediately on top Of this Balling-
ton Booths removal was ordered,
which led to his resignation. Balling-
tor Booth, IL is added, has refrained
from stating his true position out OF
consideration for his father.
