Importance which the French women give
TO the subject of the couture. American
women have the most poorly cared for
heads of hair N the world. They do not
shampoo or dress the hair properly. and
consequently many a goOd-looking woman
goes through life a fright because she is
careless Of what should be her crown OF
glory. In all Paris one does not see white

A DICTATED LETTER.

When Howard Moore completed his
college course he expected to find the
world waiting impatiently to avail
it;;elf of his services. Though he had
not prepared himself for anything in
particular, he felt capable Of doing
everything in general. He wondered
where he could go to be best appre-
ciated-where, in fact. his learning
and uncommon intellect would do the
most good.
He was inexpressibly hurt when he
found that no one noticed him at all.
The crowd jostled him on the street
contemptuously, there was no good fell
lowship abroad in the busy city so far
as he could find, no one gave him any
dinners he was not invited to join the
clubs. and most emphatically he was
not offered any occupation. He tried
to be patient with this colossal stu
pidity on the part of Chicago, but 1t
was difficult. He then even conde-
scended to lcok for work, but it was
not to he found He was too sure of
himself in way. too confident of good
birth and the inherited convictions of
a gentleman to care what he did-he
did not make those conscious distinc
tions which middle class fellow
would have made. But it did not seem
as if there was anything that came
within his possibilities within the
length and breadth of the city that
wanted doing.
However, by assiduously consulting
the paper he found at length an adver-
tisement for a private secretary. The
correspondence that followed led to his
being installed in luxurious mansion
as the secretary and factotum of G.
certain distinguished lady.
To say that Howard Moore enjoyed
such situation would be incorrect. AS
a matter of fact, he would rather have
driven street car in happy independ.
ence than have been in place where
his qualities were appreciated, yet

A DISAPPOINTED REPORTER.
She Didn't Call on Miss Grace Dodge
Again.

She Didn't Call on Miss Grace Dodge
Again.
A woman newspaper reporter, who is
now a well-known author, once called
upon Miss Grace Dodge, the million
aire organizer and head of the New
York Working Girls Clubs, who is also
the author of "A Bundle of Letters to
Busy Girls" says the Philadelphia
Post. The servant looked sympathet-
icaily at the reporter, invited her into
the house, took away her wet rubbers
and shoes and brought dry ones, an
act which filed the visitors heart with
joy. Then she brought cup of tea and
some biscuit. After a long wait Miss
Dodge came in. Are you reporter"
she asked the newsgatherer. Yes?
am very sorry you should have come
up here this rainy day to see me. You
know l never talk about my plans for
publication, but we can have just as
nice a time talking about books and
pictures. Won't you have another cup
of tea? Must you be going? | am
very sorry. Wait a minute and have
the coachman drive you to your Office
or your home. Come up some day when
we can have more time, and I'll tell
you all about the Working Girls Clubs,
but of course you won't print any of
it." The reporter rode home, but she
didn't call again-at least, not on bust
ness

Mexican Match Factories.

In Mexico match factories all labor
is task work. Women are employed
outside the factories to give shape to
the boxes. Wood brings from I to s
pesos cord. The price of matches va
rles from 10 cents to S2.25 n gross, ac-
cording to size of box and
quality. The principal factory is
in the state of Vera Cruz.
1t is operated by French machinery,
except the motor. which is of American
make. Wax matches have almost en-.
tirely superseded the wooden matches
formerly used in this country. The wax
taper is less bulky. generally has two
striking ends. emits no disagreeablc
odor. and Is made waterproof. No
matches are imported into Mexico.

The first was that he had made him

He came down to the morning room
one day after nearly sleepless night
to hnd her looking more beautiful than
ever before. A voluminous morning
robe Of grass green silk swept about
her. bringing out tho freshness of her
kindly face. In her wreaths of brown
hair were white carnations. A chain
OF heavy silver links belted in her
draperies. Something unusually tender
animated her face. Her eyes seemed
almost humid as she lifted them when
she made her morning salutation. He
was pale and trembling. and 1t seemed
to him for moment that he should
be obliged to excuse himself till he had
gained more seif-control. but she mo-
toned him to scat and took up her
note book.
Kindly take this dictation from me.

where his poverty and position placed
him at a disadvantage. At first he
fumed and went to his room after his
days work hot and angry. Not that
he had anything to complain of in the
department of the beautiful chatelaine.
She was courtesy itself, but he could
not claim that she treated him with
exceptional kindness, for the truth
was that she was kind to the whole

ALL If her time permitted. The greater
part Of her day was spent in attending
to charitable and benevolent matters
society she patronized capriciously and
haughtily. Her library was her happy
retreat, and here only her intimates
were admitted. 1t was in this room
that her chosen friends came at 6
of each afternoon for n little time OF
true sociability and rest around Miss
Vailles fragrant samovar. And in
these peaceful pleasures Moore was al
was Invited to participate. Though
the conversation on these occasions
was nearly always light-hearted, 1t
was never trivial; at times 1t was
learned at other times grave. But It
was always Edith Vaille who domin-
ated In it-it was she who introduced
the new book or the new musical COM
position for discussion. 1t was she
who inspired her guests to their best.
whether in conversation or in playing
upon the piano or violin.
Such strong friendships did Howard
Moore form in this familiar room and
in such high esteem was he held that
he forgot all about his foolish vanities
nnd chagrins. Moreover. he became
absorbed. too, in the charities OF the
chatelalne. The struggles of which he
learned. the heroic bravery of the poor,
ihs pains and disappointments of gen
ius. the frightful suffering OF those
whom society trampled under foot,
made him forget all about himself. In
