work can sleep from in the morning
until noon, which gives me ten hours.
and if | am rot playing l can rest in
the afternoon. If you have an occupa-
ton, and in these days most all women
have, be sure you get your sleep and
you can work on and look pretty year
after year.
AT what age woman should lose
her beauty l am not prepared to say, /
am observing. l have seen Patti go
from the forty mark in the ffty-sixth
year and she is still beautiful. Mrs.
Hicks-Lord at sixty was lovely. The
Princess of Wales is long since a grand
! mother yet she, too, is pretty. So l am
inclined to think that beauty is beauty
| and has nothing to do with age. I'm
kept beauty, on the other hand, is like
the flower which not being preserved
| withers at the end of its little day, its
bloom is short. So with the natural
bloom of youth. But the colors pre-
served will endure, and the bright eyes
the red cheeks and the glossy hair can
be bright and red and glossy at Coat
least, have seen them so.

MARIE CORRELLI ON SUICIDE.


The following letter from Miss Maria
Correlli was read at a recent meeting OF
an English debating society on thel
proposition that suicide is justifable:
81 may state at once that / do not
consider suicide jnstifiable under any
circumstances whatever. 1t is quite
true that God has given us free will in
the matter OF ending our lives II We
wish, but at the same time we must not
forget that free will was not ours when
we came into the world. There can ba
no doubt that we are brought into II for
some purpose known only to the Gre.
atcr, and It is but a towards act tai
shrink--nay, shirk-the work he has
given us to do. The most difficult course
is the most heroic. To die is easy-it
Is but the matter Of a few minutes
but to live life Of hardship, toll, pri-
walton and sorrow and to live Il well Is
the work of a hero. Does not our frat
human nature exult and glow when wa
hear CT some grand act OF self abnega>
ton or extreme bravery OF when we
read OF the splendid acts Of bravery and
heroism that men have performed ever
since the world began? Therefor, arr
guing la Socrats, the most difficult 10
the best to do and the brayest."

and Damp Weather and Gives Her Own Recipes.

know that some of my readers will
say that to be pretty must be born
pretty, but do not think SO.
To be sure the matter of features, and
general contour are decided when one
grows up--but besides the features, and
the shape of the face, there is great
deal upon which beauty depends.
will say that have seen some very
pretty women with not regular feat
ure; / have seen other women who
were extremely ugly, almost repulsive,
yet whose featurs were as regular as
that of Helen Of Troy
If Paris were here to-day, with the
apple, he would award it to the woman,
not with correct features, but who had
a good complexion; whose teeth were
white and even; whose eyes were
shaded by those mystic wells which
record and hide their mystic feelings;
whose hair was glossy and beautiful;
whose neck was shapely and graceful;
whose ease was that of queen. These
can all be obtained, and 1t is unneces-
sary to be added they are never born
with a person-they must be acquired
Of course all will admit if one hun
dred girls were all to grow up to
womanhood, all with the same care
some would turn out pretty and some
would be ugly. That is natural. But
beauty specialists will tell you, and
well groomed women will admit, that
the ugly girl could have been made as
attractive as the pretty ones.
I make no claim TO beauty myself,
and indeed l hesitate about writing q
beauty talk-but my profession is such

Amusing Incident to Local Whistler Tu-

Unusual Play Of an Unusual Hand.
WHIST AT A LADIES' CLUB.

The following conversation was over
heard at ladies' club by a waiter:
Jane said Maria, '.it is your lead. =
why, no. answered Jane, sit is not
my lead; Susan dealt the cards "Why,
then, 1T must be my lead" said Maria.
Whats trumps?" Hearts," shouted
three young voices in unison. well,
there is my lead" said Maria, playing
the deuce of clubs. But you must lead
a trump card, my DEAR cried Jane.
Yes, and lead the biggest trump you
have in your hand,p put in ida, James
partner. well, then, here is the Queen
Of Hearts" said Maria. ''Oh, you mean
thing, you'll" exclaimed Jane; that
takes my King" But I will take the
trick, for l have the Ace" said Ida.
But" remarked Susan, that is the
Ace of Diamonds :" So it is" said
Ida; well, here is the four of Hearts"

Susan; docs that take the trick?" "Of
course it does" answered Jane. ooh,

COMMENTS.
Trick 1-Besides being the correct
lead there was no other opening by
which South could expect TO do as well.
Vests play of the ace CT diamonds, sec
ond hand, holding only ace and jack,
possessing the hand he did, would meet
the condemnation of nine minister's out
of ten The tenth might say seeing it
was such a grand success, that it was a
most brilliant play. West has not only
major but double tennis in clubs,
besides having command OF the heart
suit. and with only two trumps-one
possible rick-taker-his ace of dia-
monds would best be held up for re-
entry purposes. Therefore the play Of
the Jack, and not the ace, naturally
commends itself to all conservative
minister's. 1t was an even chance that
the king. and perhaps alone, might have
been with partner. Then, too, the
chances weretwo to one that the great
err strength in trumps was with North
and South. In either case a trick would
have been lost and Vests chances for
rufing nil. Suppose North had held
East's hand, and East North's, not an
unlikely situation, what a Waterloo
there would have been for East and
West!
OF course, when Norths king fell
upon Vests ace, the latter played well
to lead trumps at trick 2, for, accord
ing to the fall CT the cards, but known
to West only, there were four diamonds
in East's hand higher than South's
original lead, therefore East could take
care of the diamond suit and West
could do the rest if trumps were only
all out.
Tricks to 3-Fortunately for West
his partner held nice hand Of trumps,
which drew all the teeth Of the oppo-
sition. The rest was all easy.

into a very good article by the addition
OF oatmeal or INDIAN meal. This gives
a sort OF teeth TO the soap which is very
cleansing.
For the hair there are various things
advertised. A frequent recipe for per-
tuning the hair being a sachet-cap,
which is a little night-cap lined with
silk and filled with sachet powder. But
l do not think this is very beneficial to
the hair. The hair requires light and
air and this cannot be secured in such
a cap.
THE HAIR.
l would advise keeping the hair well
shampooed and nicely brushed; and
this, with careful hair dressing, is all
that is really required. A drop of per-
fume on the temples will give a scent
to the locks.
know that Viennese ladies dry the
hair thoroughly and sachet it by means
of the scented cap, but I am of the
opinion that more satisfactory result
is obtained by the shampooing and
brushing.
The hair, as long as it is nicely dress
ed, is beautiful and attractive. To per-
fume it is idle.
| have been asked in many private
letters written me by women who long
for beauty, if l ever wash my face One
writer said emphatlcally: Il have tried
to go without water, but my face feels
sticky and disagreeable all day. Tell
me how you manage not to wash your
face" This letter would be funny were
it not pathetic. The poor woman who
could not get comfortable without
washing her face has my heartfelt sym
pathy-although l never tried the ex-
pertinent OF doing without water They
say the adorable Patti has not washed
her face in ten years, but l am inclined
to think the lovely Patti would tell a
different story.
The pores of the face must be kept
open and pure, like the rest Of the body.
or the skin will get dark and cloudy.
1t is some years since the beauties of
the world relied on enamel and years
before they will go back to it. No, my
dear madam, wash your face; keep your
system pure; use as few cosmetics as
possible; partake OF good food. and you

that without ,attractiveness I could not
succeed-and as attractiveness is the
secret Of success in all businesses, and
as all women want to be attractive, l
make bold to write this little talk upon
attractiyeness, which word l will sub
stitute for that of beauty.
FOR sUNBURN.
If am called out on a hot summer
day, or if voluntarily go out for a
walk or ride, find that my skin suffers
as all skins will; my face reddens and
burEs. and the end of my nose-I must
admit it--gets provokingly crimson.
When / return / take measures to
prevent permanent Disagreement, such
as too many women often carry with
them as banner of summer time. AS
soon Is reach my room I anoint my
face within cold cream, containing such
ingrediensv as are warrented to re-
move redna IS. There are many such.
I generally Puy mine, although there
are many harmless ones that can be
made at home. The creams that are
purchased are rather expensive, though
in the long run they are cheap, because
they are so eficacious, and because so
very little is needed at time.
The woman who does not want to pay
a dollar for a pot of cream can make
a very nice cold cream in her own
kitchen. Let her buy two pounds Of
mutton fat. If she will cut this in small
pieces and "fry it out" on the stove she
will obtain teacup of nice clear fat,
which she must strain through a piece
of cheesecloth. When this cools it gets
hard and white and is an excellent clear
fat. After it has cooled and become
hardened let her melt it up again and
strain It second time Now take and
add teaspoonful of very good essence
of perfume and, if she desires to have a
very soft cream, half cup of vaseline.
Stir all together and pour in the cold
cream jars to harden. 1t will become
the consistency of thick cream and can
be easily applied with the fingers.
The dear old ladies of Lafayette's
day, when the good general was the
beau of American society, used to pre-
pare cold cream jars by emptying egg
shells and scenting them with per-
fume. The shells had a little opening
