There is no fact of medical science

the winter season will absolutely pro-
tect person from catching cold. Now,
if this is true (and there is no doubt of
it), thousands of lives would be saved.

simple precaution within reach of ev-

been reached, it will take much longer

WHY HAIR is DYED.

"Seventy-fve per cent. of the wom-
en- dye their hair" is the statement
made by a hair dresser in the city,
says the New York Sun. And the rea-
son she gives to account for the prac-
tice Is a curious one.
Young blood is wanted to-day in
business and gray hairs are fatal to
success" said she. IF you don't be-
lieve it just let a woman of your ac-
quaintance whose hair has begun to
turn try to get a position.
Her face may be young and her
ambition equal to that of her more
youthful sisters. but nevertheless
youth and inexperience in nine cases
out of ten will win rather than expe-
rience and gray hairs.
II saw the force of this argument
last week. woman friend OF mine
who though not more than % yet has
hair nearly white was suddenly thrown
upon her own resources. She possess
ed many qualifications for business,
but somehow no one wanted her. She
came to me one day and told her trou-
bles.
Dye your hair" was the advice I
gave her.
She was quite shocked at such a
suggestion, but finally decided to try
1t. The following day she sailed forth
and before the forenoon was over came
back to me jubilant and successful. -

are INDUCED in. 1t would be better,
perhaps, If more attention were paid
to the American girls carriage, for
most young girls over here have any
thing but graceful walk.
The French girl is carefully taught
social duties and obligations, and on
ly needs personal experience to carry
out her instructions, but her debut is
not the formal affair known as such
in this country.
Her relatives are invited to the
house, and as the debutante is before
then, as a general thing. engaged to
be married, her fiance is then pre-
scented to her probably for the first
time. Now, at least, the young lady,
well versed in the art of dressing,
light and entertaining conversation or
so-called "small-talk," is on the mar
riage market, If not already disposed
of. She rarely, If ever, disputes her
fathers choice in this matter, as she
is supposed to have no opportunities
OF judging Of mankind for herself.
This would be an almost impossible
state of affairs here, where large par
ties of guests are being continually
entertained and the daughter of the
house is continually thrown with men
staying in her parents house. The
french are very exclusive, however,
and never make the entertainment of
visitors an impromptu affair.
Among the less exclusive classes
the debutante is introduced at a ball,
where the list of eligible young men
is watched over with an eagle eye by
the hostess, and the young girl is in
dividually closely watched by her
chaperone.
.Theyoung men who are so fortunate
as to secure invitations have to be
extremely particular as to their be-
havior while present, and must leave
cards with their hostess within a day
after the ball.
With all this care and supervision,
II is no wonder that there is little
opportunity for any intimate asso-
ciates until after the girl is married.
So that her wedding is really a

WOMAN; A TRAGEDY.

IN his recent book on the woman
in Modern Life" Rev. Beverley War
ner speaks of 1.-The tragedy Of being
woman" and in nothing is that shown
more than in the perpetual giving of
the true mother of her children of so
much they can never return, or even
understand, until they are parents
themselves and the devoted mother is
at rest forever. In some cases not
even then does that knowledge come.
Sometimes we hear IT said that such a
one has been ungrateful to a benefac-
tor, thwaIted his purposes and turned
from his counsels, but 1t should be re-
membered that to the claims OF a
benefactor upon the life of any indi-
vidual there must always be a reser-
walton, else his wishes or his veto may
impose such a negation on ones life
that the consequences might be more
cruel than the benefaction was gener-
GUS" Thus here again is shown the
necessity for our benefactions to be
like the sunshine that Shines alike for
good and evil, the grateful and I'M
grateful enveloping all in it's silent, in
vincible power as one of our old hymns
says:
''Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in mutual love,
The fellowship of kindred minds,
Is like that above"

WANTED HER BEAUTY BACK.

An incident occurred in one of the
Chestnut street stores the other day
that shows how deep is the desire for
beauty in every human heart, says
the Philadelphia Record. At one of
the counters they were selling toilet
articles, and heaped up in the corner
were a number of beauty brushes"
These instruments for facial improve
ment were advertised as being able to
convert the wrinkled skin of the septua-
genarfan into the peach-like bloom of
a girl of 16, and to transform the
plainest woman into a creature of daz-
zling beauty.
Things were rather slow at this coun-
ter for a long time, but by and by the
salesperson noticed an ugly old negro
woman fake one Of the brushes in her
hand and examine Y intently. She then
said: Look h'yar, miss. what is dis
ting fo'?"
That's a beauty brush" replied the
employe. IF you buy one of them you
will be as beautiful as an angel, NAM
my. All you have to do is to rub the
brush on your face and the thing is
done. The saleswoman gave these in
structions with very smiling counte-
nance indeed, never dreaming that the
old nanny intended to buy.
How much is dey?" gasped the coll
ored woman, nervously; Pm willin' to
pay mos anything, miss, to get nah
beauty bac'."
Fifty cents" replied the girl, too
astonished to.notice the reproving looks
of the floor walker.
"I'll take two" was the unexpected
reply, and the old woman laid a shining
silver dollar on the counter and smiled
in happy contemplation of her restored
loveliness, while the still astonished
saleswoman wrapped up her package.
