UNIQUE PHILANTHROPY.
Grs. Smith, Wife of caIifOrnia,s
"BOrax Kfng,'' Expects to Adopt
a Hundred Girls.

The responsibility of rearing 100
daughters and Starting them all prop
erly in life is one that would cause
most mothers to shudder. Yet that is
what Mrs. F. NJ. Smith, of Oakland,
CAL, is going to take upon herself.
She is going to adopt 100 poor girls
and rear them as tenderly as the fond
est mother would her best loved child.
Mrs. Smith is the wife of the man
who is known throughout the country
as the ''borax king" He controls the
entire borax trade of America and is
rated in California as a mu1ti-mi1lion-
aire. 1t is the money made from
borax that will permit Mrs. Smith to
care for 100 girls, some of them hardly
more than toddling babies, from now
up to the time when they are young
women and go away to firesides of
their own or to the life work which
they shall select. But if any of them
should not marry or would not show
any inclination to take up a profess
sion, why, then they will do just as
any daughter of any ordinary family
would do-simply stay at home and
live her own life in her own way.
Mrs. Smith is not going to adopt
period of years, to be sent away at
the end of that time, regardless of
whether they want to go or are pre-
pared to go or not.
The home which Mrs. Smith will
provide for these homeless girls is to
be a home in fact, and the girls are
to be taught to regard it as such
Mrs. Smiths hundred daughters will
live in ten houses, ten girls to each
house, on a 35-acre tract of land, near
Arbor villa, Mrs. Smiths home in Oak
land. The first of the ten houses is
already being built, and work on the
others will begin at once.
The girls are to have every oppor-
tunity to learn all that they wish.
They will go to the public schools
and attend church. Every effo1t will
be made to equip them with prac-
teal education, as we'll as the ac-
complishments that an ambitious girl
naturally Graves.
Each girl will be permitted to fol-
low her own particular bent. Those
who wish to attend the university
after completing the work of the
graded schools can do so, and those
who wish to become milliners, dress
makers, or follow any other trade or
profession will be given every facility
for doing so.
But think of becoming foster-moth-
er to more than eight dozen girls.
Think of the cares of teaching eight

Striking Color COMPUTATION.

This season sees one of the strangest
color combinations and odd mingling
of fabrics that Dame Fashion has ever
given a suffering feminine world.
Thus, red and pink are frequently en-
ployed together. Heather or hello
trope are considered to harmonic
well with Nile, willow or lime green.
The palest possible blue contrasts
with peach blossoms, while two or
even three different shades of gray
or brown are often mingled in the
same costume, not as regards the
trimming. but the material of the
dress itself. Another rather peculiar
'smelange" is very pale blue and bright
scarlet or crimson.-Chicag Ameri-

The Hair in Hot Wenther

Oil the head at night three times
weekly. On the following day wash
with soap and water, rinse and expose
to the suns heat for as many hours
as possible. Let the sun fall on the
scalp. 1t is not necessary to expose
the entire scalp at one time. One
part may be shielded while another
is having its sun bath. Few people
arc aware that by skillful use of
the comb severe straightness can be
remedied. It is difficult to convey in
words a correct idea of the necessary
motion of the hand. 1t resembles
that employed in whisking an egg
into frothy state. The comb is
moved rapidly and very lightly, with
the result that the hair assumes a
fluffy condition. But this is merely

tell everything, and the physician is
at a constant disadvantage. This is
why, for the past twenty-five years,
thousands of women have been con-

and whose. advice has brought happi-
ness and health to countless women in
the United States.

BREAKFAST IN NAPLES.
Vendors of Hot chestnuts, Boiled
Corn and Coffee Render the
Housexvife.s Lie Easy.

A paper by Mary Scott-Uda, with
drawings from photographs by Henry
HUT, brings clearly before the reader
of the Century certain phases of Ital-
ian life.
In the ''short and simple annals of
the poor" in Naples there is no getting
up and lighting the fire to cook the
family breakfast. The wayfarer ar
irving on an early train, or the reveler
returning from some gay ball at dawn,
sees the first movement of the i'm
