COLONIAL DANES AND
 THE PoLLoCk-STEPHENS.

Among recent honors conferred upon the Polock-S Stevens Institute is in its selection by the Colonial Danes of Alabama as one of the schools to be admitted in the contest for the medal offered for the best essay on "The Caro- linas of Colonial Times"
 This essay must be written by school girl and the cities in the State, admitted to the contest are Birmingham, Mobile, tuscaloosa and Selma, one school being chosen in each city.
 That the follock-Stephens has the hon. or of being the school selected in Birming- ham, will not be a surprise to any of the friends and patrons of this magnificent institution of learning, which is presided over by one of the most brilliant and gifted women in the South, Mrs. Edmund Taylor Taliaferro. The Pollock-Stephens Is the only school in the State whose cer- tificates give admission to the higher col leges, netably Bryan Mawr and Wellesly.
 Too much can not be said of the strength of .ae faculty. of the care with which it Is chosen and of the excellent equipment of the school in every par ticular. Every year only adds to its prestige as an ideal school for girls, and the present session has been in every way the most brilliant year in its his- tory.

MRS. PORTER WRITES OF
 WELL-GROOMEp WOMEN.

If there is one subject that should in- terest all women 1t is that relating to their personal appearance. It is natural for every woman to desire to look her best, and yet there are many women who will not take the time or the trouble to do the very thing most needful to present a ''well-groomed" appearance. One has only to glance at the throngs of women one sees daily on the street to realize that the woman whose complexion Is per- feet, whose -t-r looks clean and we'll kept is almost the exception. And very frequently it is the women who spend a great deal of money on their clothos. and yet who do not succeed in looking well-groomed Their compexions are u..,, and the hair shows lack of care while there are women who would think it A useless expenditure of money if they went to a manicurist.
 On the other hand there is the charm Ing creature who ''believes' in her spe- cialists, who realizes that to present an attractive appearance 1t Is just as neces- sary to have one's nails manicured as to have a clean face,
 She has learned that her hair must be

upon doing everything she is told to do to improve her complexion, but in a little while her energy flags.
 There is no reason why woman should not always look well-groomed The fault lies in her spasmodic methods. If she desires to look attractive and fresh she cannot allow her hair, complexion and hands to go neglected.
 T often wonder how so many women are careless about their hands. Really. the men take far more care of their hands than does the average woman, who will frequently cover her hands with jewels while her nails are perfectly dis reputable
 Tt is the little things" emphasized Mrs. Porter, that make a woman attrac- tive, and no matter how elaborately she may be gowned, unless she keeps her hair in good condition. her complexion clear and fresh looking and does not neglect hands. She cannot present that charming appearance that we call we'll groomed' and which is so desirable.
 Now, look at these hands," said Mrs. Porter, and she pointed to the hand of a woman who was pulling off her gloves Mrs. Porter declared that this womaas

washed properly and regularly if she desires to preserve it, and that scientific facial treatments are worth all the cos metics she can buy And after she req lizes all this and hunts up a manicurist. and a hair complexion specialist, she is a joy to herself and to the world.
 The woman who considers it religious duty to take the proper care of her hair and complexion and her hands is the woman we all admire and sometimes wonder what 1t is that makes her so att tractive.
 Why is it that all women do not look "well-groomed,' I asked Mrs. Louie Baker Porter recently, and she answered that 1t was because half the women were too ''spasmodic.'
 "A woman will make up her mind to have her h-.-r washed regularly and de- clare that no engagement will prevent her from attending to this very necessary thing, but after a few weeks she will grow careless and her hair goes neg lected.
 "Then she goes about her complexion in much the same way. She suddenly discovers that her complexion needs im- proving esd that cosmetics are not the propCB PeNeA5. She starts in determined

A pinloma.le Triumph.

The gfestest triumph Ia the Roose
vsit administration has just been
scored IN connection with the vene-
,uelan situation Although the set
tlsment Of the anthracite coal strike
has been brought closer home 10 the
majority Of Tie people, the skill and
diplomacy with winch the allies have
been brought, fret to an acceptance
of arbitration as settlement OF their
difficulties with Venezuela, and then
TO the acceptance Of The Hague tri-
buuaI as the arbitrator, constitute an
even greater triumph for the Presi-
dent and his secretary Of state.
The Monroe doctrine has been not
only maintained but strengthened,
Venezuela Is about to be saved from
further hardship, and will be insured
a just settlement Of the claims against
Asr, and ali possibility OF friction be-
tween the United States and either or
both Of the interested Powers has
been ayefted.
Once persuaded that arbitration
was the proper course, the allies,
doubtless largely inspired by personal
admiration for the President, insisted
that he must act as arbitrator, a
course to which there were many OBJ
jections. Al no time did MIR. Roose
Welt positively refuse to 80 act, but he
intrusted to the skiIlful diplomacy Of
Secretary Hay the task Of making the
Powers see that the present situation
offered a most advantageous oppor
tunity Of demonstrating their conf
dence In The tribunal which they had
themselves sanctioned, and that the
imposition Of so onerous task on
the President Was akin to taking adj
vantage Of good nature
That MIR. hay has been eminent y
successfai In this delicate undertak
ing is proven by the announced will
ingness OF the Powers and Of Vene-
xnela to submit all matters in di, pute

No Currency Legislation Likely.
Secretary Shaw does not believe il
possible TO secure currency legislation
at this session of Congress. While he

will pass the Fowler bill, authorizing
the national banks to Issue currency

discussion.
While there was nc haste about the
proceedings OF Congress before the

ization Of the facts that less than two
months remain before the Congress
will expire by limitation, they will be
absolutely unwilling to take up any
measures likely TO preeipiiate ex-
tended debate,
They will have, OF course, to pass
the regular appropriation bills, and
these become every session more ex-
tended and complex, requiring vast
