NICKELCDEON is POPULAR.
4 Large Number of Ladies Attend
the Performances.

and is catering especially to ladies and
children in the sense of giving an en-

That this policy is approved by the

NEW VARIETY OF YELLING

There Is q new variety of yelling in the
shops which is calculated, according to
the Chicago Chronicle, to cast becom-
ing flush over the faces of all women who
wear it Rouges, powders, pastes, beau
tifying compounds Of all sorts are on the
way to be superseded by this simple
and inexpensive device. With the aid
of q yard OF the new Yelling the palest
complexion takes on a tinge of health,
and the girl who wants to look peachy
and pinky and yet hates the rouge pot
may revel in a rosy flush. The double
veil doesn't look as If the wearer had
deliberately put on two wells to enhance
her good looks, yet that is precisely what
she has done. 1t is true that the two
wells are joined together, and this is the
secret of the new veil's construction. It.
is made after this fashion,: The inner
veil is of very thin tulle of the palest pink
ina aginable. This suffices to convey the
impression of superior complexion. At
tached to this is black dotted veil OF
delicate mesh and varied design. This
Is to set off the pink tulle complexion
and make 1t appear positively brilliant.
The result is a pronounced success, and,
in spite of the two layers, the veil IS
not so heavy in appearance as many
single wells This most ingenious con-
trivance adds a most alluring touch to
the toilet, and every girl who Is dissat-
isfied with the insufficient glow of her
flesh and blood cheeks should make a
trial of it.

last, but unfortunately for the good
name Of the United States, there are a
few men in high official position at the

AT THE Y. M. C. A.

The Young Woman's Auxiliary Of the
Y. NJ c. A. do not allow the good, old
fashioned custom of keeping open house
on New Years day to fall into disuse in
their organization.
They observe the day every year to
give the new members an opportunity to
make the acquaintance OF older ones
and those Of the association to meet their
young woman assistants.
The hall and stairway were gay with
pepper boughs and palms Yesterday, and
the parlors with bouquets of lovely roses
and trailing vines. The rooms were filled
all afternoon and evening with
members and friends of the association
to look over the building, which has
recently been refitted and renovated,
and to enjoy the general good cheer of
the season. Ele young ladies served tea
and waters in the comfortably-fur-
nished, we'll lighted parlor. and the
young men escorted visitors, who cared
to 60, through the rooms and cour-
teously explained the purposes and plans
of the organization of which they are
justly proud.
The association now numbers nine
hundred members, for which is provided
for a comparatively small annual fee
advantages and opportunities thai
could not be obtained elsewhere for
many times the amount of money. The
mandolin and guitar club furnished ex-
cellent music for the entertainment Of
the guests in the evening.

ALL SORTS

The women of Greenland color their
faces with green and yellow pigments
and the prattiest maiden cannot hope
TOR admiration until she has covered
her fair complexion with coarse red and
white paint.
In Persia an aquiline nose Is ne
cessary to either male or female beauty,
and frequently out of a family OF sons
the succession to the throne has been
decided by the shape Of a nose. Red
hair is viewed with horror, and is al
ways dyed.
On the contrary, in Turkey. red hair
is counted as a great beauty, and the
women dye their hair that tint. In some
countries mothers break the noses of
their daughters to render them attract
i've, or bind their infants heads in boards
to elongate them
Peruvians pierce the noses Of their
women and hang weighty rings. the
thickness of which indicates the rank OF
the husband. Nose boring is also very
prevalent among the Hindoos, and often
q number of perforations are made from
| which are hung tiny rings of jade, crys-
tai, silver or turquoises. Ears also are
bored to an extravagant extent, and
sometimes a belle will have the entire
rims Of both ears gernishsd with innu-
merable rings.

Observed as a Holiday
STREETS WERE DESERTED
But Crowds Flocked to the Tournament
Of Roses
And Several Thousand Attended the
Football Matoh-Receptions at the
NewSboys' Home Building.

New Years. day was very generally
observed. All Of the public buildings
were closed. as were the banks and most
of tho principal business houses. A
large number Of people attended the rose
carnival at Pasadena. and in consequence
the cars ON the Pasadena electric
line were crowded during the forenoon.
Every car was packed. and passengers
were hanging to every projecting peg
on which they could hang. The football
game in the afternoon was also we'll at
tended, and in consequence the streets
presented . deserted appearance. After
tho Pasadena show the people returned
as rapidly as they went out, and after
8 o'clock there was considerable activity
on the streets. In the city properly Sab
bath quiet prevailed. The day passed off
absolutely without incident. Even the
politicians stayed at home, and there
was not even the customary connubiat-
ing.
Altogether, New Years IN Los Angeles
was q very quiet affair, and stranger

The history Of the world records no such
an attempt to plunder a nation, but that
makes no difference to the gentlemen
who are managing this steal. They are
perfectly willing to be known in history
as the inventors Of a scheme to take
more than 800, ,ooo, 900 at one fell swoop.
to which they have no moral or legal
right.
But aside from the injustice Of letting
these railways relieve themselves Of the
obligation, the reflection that such an
act would cast upon the honesty and in
tegrity Of the nations lawmakers II
we'll worth the peoples consideration.
If railway combine can count upon the
peoples official agents to help steal
$12o, ,00o, 900 of the peoples money. Is it
worth the peoples while to continue
such a form of government? If there
are enough members Of congress to give
official sanction, to- this mighty fraud, Is
not the congress a calamity? But the
people are all right and the law which
provides for a congress is all right. but
congressman who help these railways to
steal $12o. 1000, 900 may count upon being
branded as creatures too infamous to
breathe the air Of heaven.
