FACTS ABOUT Wells.
Some of the Mistakes Made by Buyers
who Are Very Careful In
Other Things.

Let a word be said here with regard
to veilings. comments the Philadelphia
Inquirer. The counters offer many
temptations to a woman to buy at
haste and repent at leisure over the
ring-streaked and striped tissues that
flutter before their eyes. There is
really pretty within in the way of shot
yelling that goes right to the femi-
nine heart, also a white tissue, show
ing dots in groups, and a'smart Irvine
brown gauze, that has white waving
cord run through it's width from sell
wage to selvage. All these, however,
should be admired from respectful
distance. Only the very young girls
with strong eyes can wear them with
impunity.
After her twenty-ifth birthday
woman should buy her wells thought
fully, and matrons can scarcely be
too painstaking in this respect. Moth
ing so contributes to the weaving of
little wrinkles about the eyes as veil
with many and small spots. A constant
though unconscious effort is being
made by the human lenses to get
proper focus through such speckled
mist, and by reason of steady concen-
tration of muscles provoked about the
lids the cobwebby tracings are PEN
ciled in.
Put pair of the most lustrous eyes
constantly behind veil of chiffon
thickness and the result will be a slow
but none the less sure extinction OF
that liquid bright quality healthy
pair of orbs should possess even to
old age. A woman who persists in
wearing dotted net veil under one of
chiffon, as so many do, is simply ruin
ing the quality of her eyes for the
sake of her complexion, and she who
continues long in this pernicious habit
may ward off few freckles while she
is simply counting pink rims on her
lids and dull glaze on both pupil and
iris.
Too many women buy the first good
and inexpensive veil that is offered,
with a reckless Indifference as to
whether color, spot or mesh is becom-
ing. A face that smiles delightfully."-
from behind a delicate black gauze,
bearing dot here and there, will look
old and haggard under Russian net,
heavily treated with chenille balls.
This phase of the veil situation ought
to be by every wise soul studied out
before mirror, and, moreover, few
women are aware that certain hats
go with certain wells, and vice versa.
Beware of using your cycling hat veil
with your best bonnet, for by such
maneuvers is beauty judged.
AS to the adjustment of the little
face masque, let it be known that a
bow at the back must be avoided.
Draw the tissue terminals into the
smallest possible knot and tuck that
neatly out of sight. Never let fluffy
ends of net hang out behind like sig
nails of distress, and as you value your
reputation for youthful beauty, don't
roll your veil up in an unlovely band
across your brow. Rather remove it
entirely if you wish to read or eat
anything, for that band across the
brow, or, worse still, athwart the
nose, adds an instant weight of ten
moons to any age.

FOUR OUNCES OF PEPPER.

firm, but on occasions like this.she was
in the habit of patronizing West
Chester grocer whose store was near
by. Therefore she condescended to
call up the local grocer by telephone
and place with him her order for II
quarter of a pound of pepper, to be
delivered at once. The grocer is pa
tient man, and he talked very politely
over the telephone. Afterward, how
ever, he swore; then he laughed. He
laughed loud and long, and remarked
to himself occasionally: "GoodSidea! !
That's rich!" About half an hour later
the well-to-do housekeeper was some
what surprised to see great clumsy
dray drive up before her door and back
up to the curb. In the middle of the
dray was tiny package done up in
yellow paper. The drayman, after
taking particular care to get his huge
wagon in proper position, adjusted the
board from the tail-board to the house
steps, and with thick stanchion pro-
ceedel to slowly pry the tiny package
off the dray. With infinite care he
rolled it onto the step, the amazed
housekeeper meanwhile wat ching the
proceeding from the doorway. Then
the drayman slowly presented the
grocer's bill for the quarter-pound of
pepper and drov off.

with princely good nature, to Queen
Amelie it was a deep source of dis
tress. After travelling about with him
to many spas and cures for obesity and
seeing no cutting down of the royal
waist measure, this plucky woman set
to work to achieve a sufficient knowl-
edge of medicine to enable her to con-
quer her husbands one weakness.
For five years the queen has studied
medicine under the ablest physicians
in Portugal, and at length took her
degree of NJ. D. after passing the most
rigorous examinations. Since her
debut as full-fedged doctor of medi-
cine, she has actually been able to do
more for her husbands health than
any of the great specialists to whom
he resorted. But this good lady does
not apply her scientific knowledge to
selfish purposes alone. She has estab-
lished in Lisbon a free clinic, where
the poor children of the city receive
treatment, often at the queens own
hands, and thus, by her noble sympa-
thy and tender regard for the people,
she has gained a unique position rs a
sort of nurse, mother and friend, as
we'll as sovereign

NOT GREAT TO EVERYBODY.

It is comical that Joseph Jefferson
should announce at dinner in honor
of Tolstoi his entire ignorance of the
writer and his works.
The New York memorial meeting to
Robert Louis Stevenson was addressed
by men who had evidently read him
but little. Not one of them referred to
him as a critic and essayist.
When Tree. the English actor, was
dined in New York the chairman de-
scribed him as bout to act in America
for the first time, the fact being that
Tree had played long engagement in
New York the year before.
A dinner in New York to Anthony
Hope discovered a most amazing va
riety of ignorance as to his work One
last speaker frankly admitted the
utter blank to his mind that the guest

about him?"
In the course of the speeches made
at a dinner given to Conan Doyle, much
fun arose from the references to Mr..
Doyle's detective stories. At last one

BIRDS IN MILLINERY.
In Time Women Will Accomplish a
Reform Which No Law Can
Bring About.

It is the same way with the bird mil
linery question. The agitation of this
subject is both timely and wise, and
the support of every man and woman
having spark of humanity can be
relied upon so long as radical meas
ures are not resorted to as an end
The common sense and humane feel
ing of women must be appealed to and
reached. The tenderness of n woman
is unfailing, and once the American
women fully realize the barbaric tor
lures which the wearing of bird plum
age on their hats mean to the birds,
they will, of their own free will and
accord, and by the use of their own
common sense, and humanity which
never fails the normal woman, stamp
out the outrages which are committed
so that their headgear may receive
ornamentation. But to insult wom-
ans intelligence and freedom of action
by passing laws prohibiting her from
wearing bird millinery cannot be 9th
erwise than ineffective. The Ameri-
can woman cannot be told by law what
she shall wear on her hat, any more
than can the American man be told by
law, with any degree of effectiveness
what kind of beverages he shall put
Into his mouth. In effecting reforms
1t is always well not to trample upon
the freedom Of people, and of all peo-
pie the American public is the last
upon which to practice such meas
ures. The common sense of the Amer
lean public can always be trusted If
the right means are employed to win
its attention. But the means must be
tempered with moderation. Some
thing must be left for people to supply

A GRACEFUL WALK.
1t Is a Beauty Within Itself, and
Every Girl Should Seek to
Cultivate 1t.

To be thoroughly graceful long steps
and quick short steps should be equally
avoided, remarks a French woman. A
stiff walk is also very ungraceful, and
that is the great fault of English girls.
They walk too stif1y and take too long
strides.
Spanish women have very pretty
walk, naturally, as also have Italian
country girls and all accustomed to
carry weights on their heads.
To exercise walking a weight on the
head is very good lesson. You must
not be content, however, to walk
straight before you without letting the
weight fall from your head. You must
turn backward and forward, and from
side to side, as Italian country girls
do when they carry their water jars
from the well and can turn in all di-
rections without a drop of water be-
ing spilled from the jar on their head.
More marriages are made up at the
well in Italy than in any other public
place. Young rustic fellows stand by
the we'll to watch the girls fill their
jars and carry them away on their
heads with grace given only to them;
and the most graceful among them has
the most admirers from whom to choose
her husband.
: The French are also very graceful
walkers.
Study your walks, girls. Take dane
ing lessons to begin with and then re-
peat your lessons before your long
toilet glass. A pretty walk is beauty
in itself, and everyone who will can
acquire this beauty. Do it, then, at
once-now-without losing another
day.-N. Y. Herald.

QUEENS LOYAL LOVE.

Queen Amelie of Portugal is an adj

one of the least progressive nations in
Europe, and a daughter of the con-
servative house of Bourbon. When this
gay and pretty princess, who had
been brought up in England, married
blonde and good-natured King Carlos
l. of Portugal, she did what few royal
ladies do, she fell in love with her hus-
band. No humble Darby and Joan
ever lived in more peaceful conjugal
content than these two young royal
ties. Not only does Queen Amelie
think her husband the best of men,
but she has ever been most proud of
her blonde, but rather chubby beauty,
and great has been her grief over his
yearly increase in weight. Some time
ago King Carlos figure went the way
common to most unfortunately stout
men, and though he has borne the loss

Renovating white PIumes.

To clean white ostrich feathers cut
some pure white soap in small pieces
and pour boiling water on them and
add a little mite of soda. When the
soap is dissolved and the water cool
enough, dip the feathers in and draw
them through the hand. Do this sew
cral times until the lather is dirty,
then make clean lather and repeat
the operation. Afterward rinse the
feathers in cold water, slightly blued.
Pat the feathers between the hands
and shake them over the fire until they
are perfectly dry. Curl them by draw
ing each fiber between the thumb
and the dull edge of silver knife.
With little care and patience the re-
suit will be all that can be desired.
