Home Circulation.

The total number of volumes circu-
lated fer home use through all agen-
cies was PIP. .S31, decrease from last
year Of 13,2S0 From the Central liz
brary the circulation was 1891 as
against 2OO,Ol2 for last year. and 1885,
676 for the first year of the free IL
brary. The decrease in circulation is
almost entirely to be shown in a
smaller number Of juvenile books
drawn both at the Central Library and
at the Rockford branch.
This is partly to be explained by the
fact that during the months that the
school room Libraries were out their
circulatians were larger than in the
corresponding months last year. The
children, therefore, got their books
from the schools instead of coming to
the library for them. It may also be
partly explained by the fact that the
standard of juvenile literature retain
ed or admitted to the shelves is being
raised by the exclusion Of sensational
and mawkish books.
The Central Library was open $40
days with a daily average circulation
of COG. The percentage Of fiction in
creased from 1886 per cent to 53.SS. But
this increase is more apparent than
real The actual increase in fiction cir
culation was 564 volumes. The decrease
in juvenile circulation is almost entirely
responsible for the seeming increase
/ Judged by percentages) Of fiction. AL
most every class Of so-called more Sc
rious books (history, travel, biography,
etc.) shows an increase in the actual
number Of books drawn over those in
the same classes the year previous.

During the year careful inventory
OF all books was made, in this case
including fiction and juvenile works
not covered in the inventory reported
on last year. A number of the books
reported as lost last year have since
come to light, but there are still sol
books outside of fiction and Juvenile
works unaccounted for. In the two lat
ter classes there are COZ books not
accounted for. When II is con-
sidered that all but a few hundred
books owned by the library are direct
ly accessible to readers, and that the
losses here reported extend over a long
period Of years. they will not seem
high and when the smaller cost Of ad-
ministration with open shelves is re-
membered such losses may be regarded

The finding Of gray hair does, not,
bring the same qualm to a.woman; as
the discovery of a wrinkle. Gray hairs
can be dyed, bleached or pulled out,
though the last operation is rather
painful, when every other one is turn
ing, and most women fear the loss of
hair almost as much as the coming of
wrinkles. Another thing most women
know is that the first sign of-advancing
years is the line directly under the
chin, and the succeeding rolls of fat.
Following these gentle forerunners the
observant woman realizes that unless
strenuous measures are taken the rolls
of fat grow into an unsightly bag of
flesh. When the skin turns brown a
woman's claim to youth is ended.
There is only one remedy for the wrin-
kles, and the gray hairs, too experts
say. and that is skillful massage Most
lotions are food for fat.
