The Attractive Woman.

Apropos of the attractive woman, writer in the Washington Times discusses the subject as follows:
 Should she be blonde. brunette. the old Irish type with great gray eyes and raven hair, the tawny skinned and fiaxen- haired daughter of the 'Faderland the blonde beauty of Russias frozen steppes, the warm glowing tropical plant of the Latin climes-well it does not matter, every country of the world has it's own peculiar type, and after all the really at tractive woman Is, in a measure. inde- pendent of beauty of either face or form.
 A woman who is attractive never grows old. Her attractions keep her heart young and she goes to her grave loved, and mourned, and freshened, and bright ened for heaven by the tears that Tall on her coffin like the dew that glistens meath the suns kisses of the dawn.
 A beautiful woman soon fades. Her eyes lose their brightness, her complexion it's yelvety bloom but the woman who is attractive never loses her charm. which age rather accentuates, making her sweeter and more lovable.
 This is a consolation seance for the homely girl, who, If she will take the lesson to heart, may learn wherein much of the attraction of woman lies. girl lacking physical charms is apt to depre- cate herself, although l must confess that some of the most unequivocally, downright ugly women l had ever known were so vain that a peacock would have felt himself sidetracked in the running.
 But the average girl, disqualified by the goddess of beauty, deprecates her self, fearing that because she lacks the beauty and facial attractions Of some of her friends she bids fair to be lost In the social shuffe. Now this Is mistake, as many of the most attractive women fig uring on the social map have their names inscribed in capital letters because of the charm of manner.
 In the first place. a woman, to be at- tractive, should begin with her mentality and cultivate the tact which will lend is gracious who knows how to entertain, who can unselfishly take a back seat. as it were, and allow her guests to usurp the first place, is the woman whose man. ner will attract man to her, who in turn will wonder and have some little curiosity to investigate. Nature is not altogether a cruel stepmother; she has little way of chastising in one regard and of compen- sating in another.
 The girl who is beautiful may have qualities that make her enemies and stir up an atmosphere of repellant dislike against her. while the girl who is homely may win the love of every one about her.
 The unselhsh woman is without doubt the most attractive to both men and

ROOM AT MT. VERNON TO
 BE FURNISHED BY ALABAMA

Mrs, R. D. Johnston has secured a room school children of Alabama to furnish it. Mrs. Johnston says that there could be no better advertisement for Alabama than to be represented in this old home of Washington. She Is distributing the following circular throughout the state: To the Teachers and Pupils of the Ala
 bama Schools
 In 1850 two ladies from South Carolina visited Mount Vernon, the home of Wash ington, on the Potomac. They found the house in dllapidated state, the front gallery supported by pieces of timber and the house stripped of almost everything that had belonged to Washington. One of these ladies, Miss Pamela Gun ningham, was so distressed at this con- dition of affairs that she conceived the idea of having the women of the United States purchase the place and restore it to it's past splendor
 She organized the Mount Vernon Ladies Association of the Union in which the states had representation. She was elect ed regent, and each state had vice re- gent They raised the purchase money and bought the property.
 know the children of Alabama will be proud to know that the first vice regent of Alabama, Mrs. Octavia Le Vert raised the third largest amount of money for the purchase.
 Many of the states have rooms assigned them, over which the name of the state is placed. These rooms are occupied by the states vice regent during the session of the council every May These rooms are only allowed to be furnished with 1 furniture of the colonial period, such as was used by Washington in his life time. The Alabama room IS not furnished, and your vice regent thought 1t would be nice to let the school children of the state undertake that work as their contribu- tion to the home of Washington.
 There Is a marble tablet over the en- trance of the building in which Alabama has a room inscribed with these words, ',Restored by the School Children of Kan sas" It was done by a gift of a nickel from each child and amounted to Sll0O. Such a tablet your vice regent would like to place on the door of the Alabama room in honor of the school children Of Alabama. People from all over the world visit this beautiful spot In October, 1902 1000 persons visited 1t.
 Mrs. Johnston will send to every school making a contribution to this cause growing ivy plant from Mt. Vernon.
 As Washingtons birthday, February 22, falls this year on Sunday, 1t is hoped the contribution will be taken up on the goth to 23rd of February. Every teacher in the state is requested to see that this is presented to the children of her class and to send such offering as shall be made to Mrs. R. D. Johnston, 1i2l Twelfth avenue, Birmingham, Ala.

DREYFUS AFFAIR AGAIN.
French Paper Continues to Assert That
 Case Will Be Revived.

Paris, February 5.-The Liberte today reasserts In spite of contradictions that an organized effort will be made to re- suscitate the Dreyfus affair. It repeals the document which is expected to throw 8 new light on the subject, is now in possession of the ministry of war, under the special care of Colonel Faurie, and declares that M Clemenceau and others have been made acquainted with the con tents of the document.
 M. Grosjean, a deputy. who was inter- viewed on the subject by the Lberte, says:
 "If such new evidence develops 1t should go to the courts instead of being used as political maneuver before the chamber"
 Outside of the Liberte the newspapers are not giving serious attention to the story. which is regarded as being only another manifestation of the old bitter ness.
