The fact is that women have no

Look to Your Sleeves.

The changes in the sleeves, like
those of other parts of the dress, are
gradual, but steady. The undersleeve
effect is paving the way for the long,
sloping shoulder that belonged to our
grandmothers' gowns. TO match
that, bodice trimmings will slip lower
on the corsage and the peculiar fall
ing off effect that we see in old
oaguer eotypes will before long be in
vogue. This effect is already notice
able in some of the models intended
for high-class> trade-the trade that
deals with the individual rather than

The Sun as a Hair Tonic.

I.ne Greek ;aaidei.:s. of old who ~
on the walls OF the city and combed
their hair: owed the beauty of their
tresses to the suns rays. When the
hair is washed, sit beside lowered
window, as the sun shines stronger
through glass, and allow the hair to
dry as it is being brushed. No bleach
has been found so successful as the
sun, which strengthens and beauti-
fies generally. When the hair shows
a tendency to fall out, the very best
thing to stop it's coming out and pro-
mote it's growth is the abundant use
of olive OIL Saturate the hair thor
oughly and keep it saturated for a
week, until the dry scalp has absorbed
all it will. then wash with pure soap
and water. If this operation is re-
peated every two or three months the
effect is said to be marvellous.

the size of the woman's vote with
that OF the men under such widely
different conditions, is more than un-
fair, it is dishonest. The only legiti-
mate comparison must be made in
the four states where conditions are
precisely the same, and here the
women come out Of the test with fly

recent editorial referring to the grow

women having municipal suffrage:
The conviction undoubtedly has

The important Interview with Prof.
w. II. H. Hart of Howard university
on the race problem, which was pub
lished recently, contained this strong
assertion:
In the end, whatever may be the
condition now, the right of suffrage
must be the sword and shield of all
the people of democracy. In a
monarchy it is the duty of the mobiles
to guard, protect and help the sub
iect classes, but in democracy such
as ours the ballot is absolutely the
only protection of the citizen, and it
is as necessary in the long run to the
man whose skin is dark as to him
whose skin is light. and when the

can only be on the theory that the

citizens "--Chicago Tribune.
