that their beauty depends upon their
absolute cleanliness. A nailbrush
should be used at least twice daily.
In regard to the toe nails the great
precaution to be taken is to prevent the
edges of the nail from growing into the
quicll-a trouble that frequently hap-
pens. When it is likely to occur, the
feet should be bathed in hot water, so
that the nail is softened. Then gently
raise up the corner of the nail and in
troduce beneath the part disposed to
enter the quick small piece of lint
smeared with ointment. If this practice
Is followed for few days, the nail will
soon incline to different course.
Toe nails should always be cut square
first, then slightly rounded, the corners
remaining out of the fleshy part of the
toe. If too much rounded, then the
pressure of the shoe is too great on the
skin Of the toes. and the flesh is forced
backward on to the nail, Embedding it
in the skin. The toe nails should be cut
and trimmed once month and should
be kept short.
Another remedy when they are incln-
ed to run into the quick is to cut a
small v shaped piece out of the center
of the nail, which is thus encouraged to
grow toward the center.

superior social power which wit, beau
ty and talent have won for the foreign
ers. There is distinct anti-American
set in the more conservative circles of
English society. The Duchess of Buc-
cleugh, Lady Warwick, Lady VIM

minister and the Duchess Of Portland are
all extremely anti-American. But not

wit, has ever been able to ruffie the

that young Lieutenant West is to go
| back to England and, If possible, per-
suade Lady Churchill to marry him.
The CORVALLIS West family are not
| friendly to Lady Churchill. She and
the young mans mother were once rival
court beauties. Mrs. West is one Of the
greatest matchmakers in England. Her
eldest daughter she married to royalty
in the shape of an immensely rich, petty
German prince, he of Pless. Her sec
ond daughter is said to be the fiancee of
the young Duke Of Westminster, and as
little likely to be welcome in the
naughty Grosvenor family as Lady
Churchill In that of West. The Vests
are rich landowners and have more
ambitious plans for their heir. Lady
Churchill herself would be making a
very bad match in marrying the young
officer. He has only such income as
his father allows, and she might marry
almost any one with her beauty, wit
and talent. Her money, which, as one
Of the heiresses Of Leonard Jerome of
New York, she inherited was pretty
well spent by Lord Randolph before he
! died. Recently it was runored that
Lady Churchill would marry Mr.. Will
liam Waldorf Aston, but this was
promptly denied.
In her most brilliant days Lady
Churchill was a power in English pol
tiles. Statesmen were as wax in her
hands, and at her salon in Connaught
place the policy of England was prac-
| tically shaped by the politicians who
gathered there. Young West is good
looking fellow, with no particular abil-
ity, and as Lady Churchill herself is a
brainy woman it is not likely that she
could feel much admiration for good
: looking but commonplace young man of
IS with no immediate fortune and hard
ly more than sufficient brains to earn a
living behind dry goods counter.
It Is probable Lady Churchill does de-
rive considerable amusement out of the
distress his attention caused the young
mans scheming and ambitious mamma,
who was her one time rival as beauty,
for Lady ChurchilPs good looks have
worn a great deal better than have
those of Mrs. West.
| Most people see, however, in the recon-
ciliation between young Churchill and
his mother ample evidence that there is
an understanding between the two that
Lieutenant West was never seriously
considered by his mother.
Like every other American woman
who has entered English society, Lady
Churchill has great many enemies
among English women, who resent the

II any woman goes to Paris with q
determination to overcome her physical
defects, there is no reason why her am
bition should not be realized, provided
she has money in plenty, for this beau

specialist. A few give attention solely
to the reconstruction of the nose, which
is regarded as the most difficult branch
OF the beauty business. Complexion
artists" as they are pleased to call
themselves. are numerous and dwell in
'ateliers de la beaute.' At the moment
they are much given to the hot water
treatment accompanied by the use of
electricity. Some women specialists de-
vote themselves exclusively to the culti-
walton of the waist-that is, they keep
the waist measurement in accord with
the artistic standard of perfect propor-
tions.
The most remarkable of all the doc
tors, however, is the man who restores
prematurely gray hair to it's natural
color by the use of electricity. He has
discovered that tinted oil worked into
the pores of the scalp will renew the
color. Curiously enough, a fragrant
white oil will give brown tone, and
brown@oil restores the once black hair
TO It's former glossy glory. In this ex-
pert's establishment the hair is never
wet but is cleansed when necessary by
electric brushes.

AMERICAN CLUBW0MEN

More than the usual Importance at

since they are to be hostesGes OF the
clubwomen of the entire country. All
eyes have been turned to milwaukee,
since last summer, when the Invitation
was accepted by the General Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs to hold its nth
biennial meeting there. Now that the
plans of the entertainers are taking
shape and the arrangements OF the
guests to be present are well under way,
the responsibility of giving these clever
women the sort OF welcome they de-
serve is found to be no light one. The
task, however, has been willingly &C.
cepted, and there has been such general
cooperation on the part OF the state
Federation that June 4 and the remain,
ing days of the week promise to be ex-
ceptionally brilliant.
Five thousand c.ubwomen ara to bs

smart June hats. They are trimmed
in gauze or moline scarfs, under which
appear varicolored leaves. They are
designed for wear with muslin frocks
and must match them in the general
color scheme. The all white hat Is a
thing of the past. Upon all chapeaux
some strong definite color is conspicu-
ously introduced, either in the way of
flowers or by means of panne velvet
choux. The very low crowned hat has
gone the way of early spring fashions
which failed to take, making room for
the tall crown, which Is regarded as
even more picturesque. Toques are too
serviceable to be discarded entirely, al
though they fail to enjoy the prestige
Of a month ago. The prettiest are COM
posed of alternating rows of satin straw
and tulle. Where quilts once adorned
ostrich feather .pompoms are substitute
ed, and occasionally bunch Of rubber
stemmed cherries Is seen. Toques are
worn down over one ear, so to speak,
and are abruptly upturned on the other
side, where the trimming is massed.
The latest caprice of fashion is cape
with hat to match. Both are made Of
delicately colcred chiffon, that of which
the hat is constructed being tucked
closely and sewed to a wire frame capa-
BILE of being bent into fanciful and
becoming shape. Ostrich plumes some
times decorate, but chiffon choux are
a more acceptable and consistent trim
ming. The hat should be mass Of
frothy nothingness, and the choux adj
mirably carry out this idea. Upon the
cape border of chiffon rosettes creates
an outstanding collar, whatever other
decorations may be employed. The new
capes do not reach to the waist line and
are really little deeper than a circular
collarette. The home dressmaker can
easily copy this hat and cape with a
few yards of plated chiffon and width
of tucking. The big black hat is still
the rage for wear with diaphanous
gowns of light color. This same tend
ency toward striking contrasts extends
to the chiffon cape; therefore hat and
cape of black are among the smartest.
In the same connection 1t might be
mentioned that the ultra fashionable
woman includes sash or girdle to
match her hat and cape.
Among the neck decorations the f1chu
easily takes first place. 1t comes in
liberty silk, null and point d'esprit. It
Is worn low on the shoulders and knot
ted in front, forming sort of cape. In
other years 1t was used to outline the
surplice neck bodice and was tucked in
at the belt. With it goes the two pieced
sleeve, the lower part of which is made
of the same material as the f1chu. These
lingerie undersleeves are feature of
the summer gowns. When elbow sleeves
are worn, they must be accompanied by
long, thin suede or silk gloves. The lat
ter are clamoring for recognition, but
up to the present moment have not been
markedly successful. 1t is considered
inelegant to expose the arms and neck
in black or white lace gowns. Without
exception these are lined throughout.
Soft flesh colored silk may be used for
an interlining if one wishes to produce
the transparent effect.

II ADY RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
and Mrs. Arthur Paget are the two
II most popular women in England.
Both are Americans of moderate for
tunes and are allied with England only
by marriage. Lady Randolph is, Of the
two women, the more widely known
and admired. BY her friends she is
familiarly called Lady Randy" Her
late husband, the brilliant Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, was the brother Of the
late Duke of Marlborough. Consequent
ly the Hon. Winston Churchill, the eld-
est son of Lady Randolph, was until
the marriage of the present Duke OF
Marlborough heir presumptive to the
Marlborough title and estates. Even
yet Lady Randolph's sturdy son may
some day be the Duke of Marlborough,
for the delicate health of the present
duke is well known, and the baby Mar
quis of Blandford and his brother have
the ills Of babyhood to encounter be-
fore they can be accounted safely with
in sight Of succession to the Marlbor-
ough dignities.
Lady Randolph is more distinguish
ed figure in London society than even
her niece by marriage-Consuelo, duch-
ess of Marlborough. Lady Randolph is
a remarkable woman, and the fact that
she fascinated young CORVALLIS West,
whose mother and sisters are famous
beauties, would show that her charms
are unusual ones. CORVALLIS West
went to South Africa with the Scots
guards. He was ordered to the front
with his regiment shortly after young
Winston Churchill, whom rumor said
was angry with his mothers favorable
reception of the attentions of young
West, went to Africa as the correspond
ent of London newspaper.
Young Churchill is as daring and
dashing as was his father or the first
John Churchill himself. and he mixed
in the fighting instead Of attending
strictly to his correspondence. While
helping to defend an armored train he
was wounded and captured. Lady
Churchill was then on her way to South
Africa on the hospital ship Maine,
which she had organized and paid for
out of subscriptions received largely
from rich American women. Winston
managed to escape from the Beers, and,
after an adventurous journey, was able
to join his mother at Cape Town. Lady
Churchill re-embarked on the Maine
and returned with a shipload Of wound
ed soldiers and her son.
Lady Churchill is said to be very
happy now. Not only has she her son
safe and reconciled, but 1t is rumored

VELVET RIBBON FASHIONABLE.

Velvet ribbon is largely utilized for
the trimming of thin frocks. Black Is
preferable. On almost every gown 1t
is introduced in some fetching manner.
When there are lace insertions, narrow
black velvet ribbon borders each edge
Of every row of the lace. If the skirt is
self trimmed. velvet rosettes and a
broad girdle invariably adorn the bod
ice. Velvet stocks are once more to the
fore. being improved by frjll of lace
which softens the otherwise severe line
about the face. t@f e.
