and new competitors, and fairer types of
feminine loveliness could scarcely be gath
cred together than graced the auditorium
and every entertainment that was given
in the honor of the Old and the new South.
Bad compilations have sent more women
to the grave than epidemics. Nothing
frets a woman like a rough, muddy skin,
A cure-all for blemishes is certainly sim
pie enough. 1t is this: Wash the face in
salty sweet milk every night and let it
dry without wiping. A mixture made of
one small tablespoonful of milk and a tea
spoonful Of salt applied to the most cb-
stinate blemish of the skin will cure it al
most like magic. This rs the remedy pre-
scribed by one of the best skin authorizes
in England, and it is said that the use
of milk and salt Is half the secret of the
English woman's smooth, beautiful skin.
On the Fourth of July a young man of
Stockton, Kan, took his best girl to a pic
mic. There she accepted so many atten-
lions from another young man that the
first young man became enraged and went
home, leaving the girl TO get back to her
house as best she might. She hired
hack, for which her father paid seventy
nee cents, and then the Old man sent the
fused to pay, and the old man sued him
in a Justices court, alleging that having
taken the girl to the picnic it became his
DUTY to see her safely home at his own
expense. Both sides have hired lawyers
and the case Will be fought to a finish.
One Of the most striking features of the
party gown at the seasons summer resorts
says the New York Herald, Is the absence
of the low cut neck and short sleeVed va
riety While there will always be some
who adhere strictly to the full dress par
excellence, it Is no eXaggeration TO say
that at least three-quarters Of the dresses
worn at the Saturday night hops at the
fashionable hotels, and at private home re-
cepions as we'll have long sleeves and high
necks.
The sleeves of these gowns are mostly
OF some thin fluffy material, shirred and
fulled to the limit, while they extend way
down over the hand. ending in some pref
ty finish of lace or chiffon, while the neck
is finished with a fluffy stock of ribbon,
lace or fluffy material. Even those gowns
which are cut down are more modest than
those worn a few seasons ago by even the
young miss hardly out of her teens, whose
entire vigilance was expended in keeping
her dress from falling off both shoulders
at the same time, one being the number
fashioned adhered to.
The low necked gowns of this season
are tastefully cut, ana the shoulders are
covered t is difficult-almost impossible
to find reasons for fashions capices.
Whether the athletic woman who now rules
the social world has decreed that it is not
healthy TO dance in decolete gown and
then expose herself to the night air or open
porch and draughty rooms, or whether it
Is only one of the changes and chances Of
this variable world, who can say?
Somebody asked me the other day, says
a writer in the Chicago Chronicle, who 1
thought were the happiest women, and
I've been thinking it over ever since. 1t
is something of q vexed problem. The
conclusion ] have come to at last is that
she is the happiest woman who is not too
handsome. OF course I don't mean that
she shall be disagreeable looking. She
must have certain charm of manner,
but by her lack of beauty she can keep
the loVeliest of women friends and no jeal-
ousies arise, while she herself is always
a pleasant companion. Then, too, the wo-
man who is not great beauty does not
need to anticipate growing old as the most
dreadful thing that can happen, because
to her Il means the loss of her greatest
attraction. ] have always said a little
prayer of thanksgiving every night that
God arranged that 1 should be born south
Of Mason and Dixons line, but often add
to my thanks the fact that nature did not
make me beautiful.
one can only feel this way after many
trials, and when one has become-well. 1
don't like to say how old. The woman
without beauty is going to try to be some
thing else, for in the inmost heart of ev-
cry woman there is a certain desire to be
considered the incest in the world by
somebody. And IF that woman is worth
a penny she prefers that somebody to be
man. 1 think 1 would keep clear of a
woman who told me she did not care for
or she despised mems society. There is
something strange about her Why? Well.
just because God has made 1t So There
never was one of these women who cared
only for the society of women who wans't
fretful, tiresome, unhealthy in mind and
body and altogether a burden to the earth
There is no reason why women should not
Ike women, of course, but they should
like men better.
