 Searching for Bodies
 Small steamers have patrolied Calaboguen bay all day searching for bodies of the be- roic rescuers, but they have not been re- covered The loss to the rice crop on the Savannah river alone is estimated at from $2OO, ,0O0 to $250,030 Three-fourths of the crop has been destroyed. The loss to planters between Savannah and Augusta will run into the hundreds of thousands. heavy flood is reported in the upper Savannah river, and messengers were sent out from here tonight to warn planters of it's ap- proach. The cotton crop in the counties ad- jacent to Savannah is practically ruined. [, The latest reports from the storm indi- cate that Savannah was in the southern edge of 1t. Its full force passed ten to twenty miles north, across Beaufort county, South Carolina. The full extent of the dan- age there is not yet known and may not be Tor several days, owing to the inacces sibiilty of the country. The entire territory in which the storm ragged, although limited to a radius of fifty miles, is damaged beyond estimate. As the reports come in the indi- cations are that the storm was more severe than any in recent years.
 The steam pilot boat s. J. Estill arrived in Tybee roads tonight after day and night cruise and reported six wrecks of coast wise schooners off Martins industry ship, fourteen miles from Tybee. Several of them were sunk, others bottom upwards and all apparently having been anchored when the storm struck them. None of the vessels names were distinguishable. There were no signs of the crews and it is believed they nerished All sorts of Wreckage lines the coast, indicating heavy losses at sea.

 For fifty miles west of Savannah the country is practically under water. On the Central of Georgia road the track is wash ed in places all the way from Savannah to Macon It is estimated that at least twen- ty miles of track are under water, in some places nearly two feet deep.
 The railroads unable to form any estimate of the damage to the tracks until the water recedes. Instead of falling, how ever, the water is rising.
 An effort was made tonight to get a train north over the Charleston and Savannah road, but it was abandoned The losses of the railroads are yet beyond estimate.

Answers to Correspondents.

EVELYN J.-Am very sorry that I could not give you reply the Sunday fol- lowing your letter as you requested, but there were many letters in ahead of yours. Let me advise you to invest in a camel's hair face scrubbing brush. Give the face gentle scrubbing every night, using little castillo soap and plenty of tepid water. After thoroughly rinsing the soap from the face a good cold cream should be rubbed into the skin. I feel quite certain that the following will not cause superf1uous hair to grow: Sperma- ceti, one ounce; white wax, one ounce
 oil of sweet almonos, five ounces; rose water, one and three-fourths ounces, and twenty grains of borax. Melt the first three ingredients in porcelain kettle over slow fire, and be sure not to let the mixture boil Remove from the heat and add the rosewater, in which the borax has been dissolved. Fluff up with an egg beater. As the quantities given will fill an eight-ounce jar, one-half the quantity will be enough to begin with. After the pores have been entirely emptied of the sebaceous matter contained in them, you can use the lotion recommended in fore

It is somewhat of a task to read and answer all the questions that come to my department, but l assure you it is an enjoyable one, and I am tremen- ents write to me. as many of them do, and tell me that my advice has bene- fited them. I have a recipe that I am sure will be just the thing for you and for half pint bottle and place in it three table spoonfuls of fresh uncooked cucumber juice.

This will keep for a year. Be sure that there are no settings in the benzoin, else it will be apt to curdle the lotion. This will whiten the skin and gradually contract the pores. Perhaps the powder that you use is too heavy for your skin. Try the powder that gave formula for to Ethel B. in Sunday issue of Novem- Der 27 Your skin food is probably all right It Is not quite as hard, as ordinary cold cream, but is somewhat thicker than thick cream. Use the camelshair face brush and pure castillo soap on the face each night-you and your friend also The pores may seem to be a trifie larger when you first begin this treatment. but 1t will certainly end in refining the skin. l am sorry I cannot answer authorita- lively your last question.

 Tulle of all kinds is used for the neck, and one of the smartest stocks was made entirely of plain tulle, sewed to a plain band of velvet. The band was stifr and very tall.
 For Christmas present you cannot do better, if you want to step outside the limits of a dollar or so, than to buy one of these tall, stiff velvet stocks with a large tulle bow in front. At bargain sale, on a fortunate day, you can get these for 50 or 50 cents: but be careful that your materials are good, for you know, as you decrease in price you are apt to decrease in material. And, by the way, did you ever see Christmas gifts as alluring as they are this year? They are absolutely fascinating, and fairly tempt the money out of ones pockets. It is well to shop early. for little later every thing may be little worn, from the con- stant handling of the shoppers; and the early buyer gets more for her money than the one who'leaves her purchases to the last.
