.sOne effect of the extended use of the
bicycle said the hotel physician, is
seen in the greatly increased number Of
facial scars. Twenty years g a woman
with a cicatrix was a rarity. Now she has
become almost mmon In this hotel, for
instance, there are not less than twenty
who have scars large and small produced
by tunbles Not infrequently you md
one with a d~isiiguring red line running
from chin to eye. These injuries are sell

traces, nor has any doctor wise enough
to prevent the scars been found. This is
rough on the girls. A Woman's skin seems
to scar more easily than a mans n
even a scratch will sometimes leave "a
scar. Then they have no boards TO hide
the Jagged seams. Our most reckless
riders are women. Many of them go at
breakneck speed and they pay no atten-
ton to the rules of the road. Then again,
when they become involved in dlfflcuitles
with other bicyclists or with vehicles they

the hin they should not do. For these
reasons, healing lotions, skin medicines,

such things form a large part of every
hotel physicians equipment. AS TO the
men. nobody pays attention to them, and
their facial scars, do not amount TO
anything. Very few of them marry or
are popular with women, because they
are pretty. Indeed, most of them are
rather proud of a broad red seam or two,
speaking of dangers past. 1t looks mar
tial. don't you know. A fellow may have
had his cheek cut open by butting a
lamp post. but when it is healed he likes
to ride slowly through the parks and
have the girls look after him and wonder
if the injury was not inflicted by the
sabre of a Spanish officer. A mar VINO

A very extreme modiste of New York
City turned out for a fashionable Gus
toner a shirt which She declared would
be the style before the season was over.
at is the first one made in this eoun-
try" said She, but it is after a Paris
model and will soon be all the rage
The dress referred to was a navy blue
silk with the skirt very narrow. In the
back there was a small train which
.sswisheds as the wearer walked. But the
singular part was the lining, which was
of fine cashmere.
.ewhy do you line a silk skirt with
cashmere. asked a spectator.
80 that it will cling to the limbs when
walking" replied the modiste. promptly.
The fashionable young woman, for
whom the costume was designed, took a
turn across the room as the modiste spoke
and sure enough the navy blue silk skirt,
with its ruffles and little shirrings, chung
closely to the figure and gave the long.
narrow effect which was so much desired
by the designer.
The throat should be round, full and
piilow-like, and nothing will give those
qualities so quickly as the daily exercise
Of rolling the head completely around,
several times in one direction and an equal
number in the opposite way. This exercise
fills out the hollows like magic and
strengthens the muscles as well. The
arms are seldom sufficiently developed for
beauty. We do not use our arms sufficient
ly to give them the muscular growth they
need and to do away with the sharpness
at the elbows. Keeping the elbows away
from the side in a sharp angle may be
stylish, but it is not graceful, and crossing
the arms over the chest is unlovely to a
degree. Watch closely the next woman
whom you see in that attitude and note
the droop of the shoulders. A few women
may look jaunty and attractive when
they carry the hands in their Jacket
pockets, but where you find one who does
satisfy the eye YOU will see scores who
offend.
Our grandmothers exeelled us in dainty
trifies. One of the prettiest ornaments
on the dresser was an egg. AT first sight
it looked exactly like an egg from the
pantry, for the shell was implanted. Only
as you looked at it yoL saw that one end
was broken This egg she'll was used as
a cold cream jar.
When making cold cream our grand
mothers would pour it into an empty
shell which had been sarefully prepared.
After the egg was taken out the Shell a
been washed and sweetened with per-
fumery with a few drops left in the bot
tom.
The cold cream was poured in and was
left to harden. The result was a very
nice egg shell full of lovely White cos
metic. Try his for yourself.
The question of women weaving hats in
public resorts has been revived by the
edict of a ~pretentious which
denies admission at dinner to any lady
wearing anything more conspicuous than
an egret or a coronet in her hair. The
manager of this Piccadiily establishment,
which pretends to more swagger than
any other eating place on earth, writes in
defense of his aim to please " a distin.
guished clientele, many of whom would
withdraw if they saw a lady with a hat
on The squabble began in the terrible
dilemma imposed upon London society
over the question how to dress for the
opera when the performance begins at 4
o'clock, and lasting, with an hour and a
quarter interval for dinner, till II p. M.
