On WriIinn I-nNe Ln1tnrs.

Chicago has lately had the m is
fortune of disclosing a very EN-
barrassing bit &shunan nature in
connection with the writing Of love
letters by Chicago women aud the
proposed seizing Of the letters by
the law. IT seems that a Mr.. Swan
was very attractive gentleman,
and received more letters than any
one gentleman wa| entitled to from
the beautiful girls Of the south Side
of that city, Mr.. Swans trunks.
largely full OF these letters have
been seized for the gentleman S
hotel bills, and the young ladies'
who wrote the letters have prObr,-
bly, learned a valuable lesson.
An editorial that appeared in the
CaicagO Inter Ocean goes on to say;
They did not think of course when
they We're addressing delicate rlis-
ties to Mr. Swan that he would pre-
serve them; that lie would dO them
ND in neat packages; that he would
deposite them in lis trunks;that he
would defaU't on the paylucut Of
his board bill: that the hotel pro-
prietoro wJuLd selZe hi, trunks ailp,
sell them TO the highest NiittGr, and
that heir drIcat" missives wDuld
in all probability fa.I into the hands
OF people who might make i'm.
proper use Of them.
And yet ever, tnng thcy did not
think Of except Fortunately, the sale
of the trunks, has happened. Mr.
Swan, thanks to the kindness OF one
OF his many adj m'rera, is StIiI in pos
session OF tine trunk, and their con-
tents For the present, or until
they shall be seized for a board Ulll
again, the letters written 10 him by
South SIDE women are safe. But
they are not safe enough, and they
nevsr vii be until they SHALL te re.
stored 10 the oung women who wrote
them, and by them consigned to The
flames.
In view OF the many roubles that
that the writing Of these sweet love
letters has caused our women from
time ImmcmoriaI, the wonder IS
that the young women OF Chicago.
or of any other CITY, still continue
to use the mails so freely. Have
they forgotten the hesrt.breaks
caused by too much letter writing
and the publishing Of the letters
which appear in our newspapers,
and "A most 0ailyt

Men have bCen known to lose love

case with The too popular Mr.. Swan.

Treatment of the Face.

Stew women realize" says a French
expert, 'that the secret of face care is
to treat each feature separately.
American women in particular do not
seem to understand that there are as
many compilations as there are figures,
and that no one cosmetic can be good
for all faces. nor for all parts of the
face. Rarely is the skin of nose and
cheek of the same quality, and what
is healing for one may injure the
other. For example, the skin may be
Of good quality all over the face eX-
cept on the nose. where too much oil
is secreted. Bathing the skin with a
soft sponge dipped in borax water will
be of value, while such treatment
would be too drying for the rest of
the face Or. the wrinkles around the
eyes may be treated with cocoa but
ter. which might be harmful for nose
and cheek. Leave all cosmetics en-
tireiy alone, or understand their USE"
is her closing advice.

The double chin is hard thing to
remove by home treatment. but it can
certainly be modified by persistent,
daily application OF the following treat
ment Grasp rs much of the chin as
can be held between the thumb and
forefinger, and twist until it slips out.
DO this many times on both sides of
the chin. One can form the habit OF
doing it when reading. Placing the
hands on the checks. let the thumbs
meet under the chin and draw them
backward, pressing hard. and fatten-
ing the chin. One must not press
against the windpipe. but only against
the under part of the jaw. Last OF
all, clasp the hands upon the forehead
and bend the head slowly forward,
resting it all the time with the hands.
Bend till chin rests on chest. When
this motion is first used a painful sem
sation will be felt in the cords of the
neck This is only because unused
muscles are being exercised, and will
soon pass away. Relax thoroughly
after each motion: do 1t four Or five
times, then go to something else, and
come back to it. Five minutes daily
given to these three motions will begin
to show results in six weeks. The
flesh will leave the lower edges of the
cheeks first, removing the old, heavy
look which it always gives the face.
Though the obstinate double chin may
not be removed entirely, it will be
modified and kept down.-New York
Tribune.
