For the Womcn.

A Female Solomon who wrote Ans
wers to Correspondents and Beauty
Hints for the newspapers at Space
Rates sat in her Sanctum and looked
over the Epistolary Batch for the day.
The Space Writer'S nom de plume was
MademoiseIIe Chic, but there was Moth
ing in her appearance to indicate it,
Bunches to her Admiring Readers
about the latest Conceits from Gay
Paree, and how to keep the Seminary
Bloom until forty-fve and give Old
Father Time the derisive ha-ha but it
was q good thing the women who read
her Column and followed her Helpful
Hints never caught a Glimpse of her.
She was what our old friend George
AIDE Ito whom we are indebted for the
capitaliZatiCnl would call q I1umDY
Dresser and her whole Makeup show
ed that she was sadly in need of a
Flat Iron. The Hang of her Pedestrian
could have been improved by having a
row OF Hitching Weights attached to
the hem of the Front Breadth which
liked considerably. She wore a Shirt
Waist Of tie Vintage of 1900 with the
Tucks turning the wrong way and a
belt with Tassels which a Cousin in
Glance at ker shape was enough to
tell you that she had been too Busy

to try them herself Her hair parted
to give unexpected glimpseS of the
Scalp and her complexion would have
served as a Horrible Example of the
effects of Unhygienic Living of which
she was always warning her Readers.
Nevertheless she was there to write
Advice to Plain Females who were
willing to take all the Chances in con-
nection with the Fatal Gift.
The First Letter was from Anxious
One, who lived on a Farm far from
the Madding Crowd, the Massel1se
and the Dcrmatologist. Anxious One
mad almost reached the Home Stretch
but she had been greatly cheered by
Mademo1selle's Statement that all wo-
men may be Beautiful or at least At
tractiVe. no matter how Late in Life
they began. Anxious One told her
Troubles and wanted to know why her
Nose was Red. 1t could not be from
Late Rising, as among her Duties was
to Drain Eight Bovines before Dav
Break each morning, nor for similar
reasons for want of Exercise in the
Open Air. AS her Waist Measure was
y Inches she didn't think it could be
caused By Tight Lacfng. Would
Mademoiselle please send Formula for
the Magic Beautifying Cream and ad-
wise her on the Remodeling of a black
Brocaded Plush Dolman, which had
been bought in 1888 and was just as
Good as New
The Second Correspondent also had
trouble with her nose, and wanted to

Lower Down. She had received Many
Compliments on her Looks and was
very popular with the Gentlemen but
she would be- Better Pleased with her
self If she could remove her Wens.
Also corns and bunions. She had a
new Cerise Silk waist with Black
Satin stripes and a black taffeta skirt
and wanted to know how to have them
Made Up. She signed herself Dreamy
Eyes.
Sapho wrote from Tank Station IN
Oklahoma that her husband did nof
Appreciate her and that her Gran ped
Environment offered no Opportunities
for the Higher Life. Before her mar
rage she had always been considered
a Bright Girl and had been a G. eat
Success in Home Talent. A Paints,

Actress and she also wrote a Little

Some Verses to Magazines but she
