COMPLEXIONS ARE NOT MADE
There Is Grave Danger I'm Attempts
to Secure a Pink and Ala
baster skin.

The greatest desire of many women
IS to have a complexion that will rival
the tints of the blush rose Pink and
white are the natural colors of the skin,
but all are not favored with those tints
artistically distributed, and many seek
by artificial means to produce the de-
sired blend. says health authority.
An unsophisticated bud" had a sad
experience in following the malicious ad-
vice of matron. The matron always
had bright complexion and dazzling
eyes, whereas the bud" was sallow.
The girl longed to know the secret of the
older woman's fine complexion and one
day asked how she retained the bloom
of youth. The matron was amazed at
merely matter of rouge and rich pow
der. Simplest thing in the world" re-
piled she Il use steam baths. Ever
tried steam baths? Well. you have a
basin of scalding water and put your face
as near the steam as possible and keep
1t there. That is why my skin is so pink
and white and clear from all blemishes"
without saying WOro 10 ner mOtner
the bud" ordered basin of hot water
and dropped her face over the rim. She
suffered much pain, but bore up bravely
when she reflected that her color might
be as glowing as that of the matron. At
last she. could endure the steaming no
longer and rushed to mirror Instead
of her face being like fresh peach it
was lobster red and scalded. She sought
her mother and told her what her older
friend had advised. The mother applied
cold cream and powder TO her daughters
face. Now you've learned your little
lesson" said the mother. Whenever
you see woman of 30 with the COM
plexion Of 16-year-old remember 1t IL

NEW DRESS NOVELTIES.
Dainty Triees and Pretty Fnncies In
Costumes for the Coming
Season.

Peau de sole and peau de cygne are
favorite silks for waists.
Silk cluny is used for entire waists as
we'll as for trimmings.
White shaved coney and sea otter
make handsome fur evening cloaks.
Moleskin plush is especially smart for
a jacket when worn with cloth skirt OF
like color, reports Brooklyn Eagle.
The prevailing fancy for lace mani
tests itself in no more attractive guise
than in collar and cuff sets. Irish
crochet is utilized for these dainty trim
mings, an especially pretty pattern hav-
ing been selected.
Short boleros of cluny or Irish lace,
with elbow sleeves, are to be worn over
silk blouses.
Full plaitings of white chiffon and val
enciennes lace finish the large sleeves Of
many handsome clokas.
A modish brown velveteen suit has
strappings and sleeves of brown cloth
and brown leather belt about the Rus
:ian blouse.
plated green chiffon lining is eff
fective under white cloth garment, the
frills Of the lining falling below the
cloth
Modish hair dressing calls for some
sort of ornamental pin with which to
catch the short hairs at the back of the
neck. 1t is of oxidized silver, set with
turquoise, but stones of other hue are
also used for the establishment of these
pins.
A box coat of white shaved coney has
shoulder capes, cuffs and front facings
of white cloth embroidered in silks Of
delicate color.
The addition of a white silk elastic
belt closely studded with cut steel
squares gives a smart touch to jacket
of caracul, trimmed with chinchilla.
Bouton dor is the name given by
French modistes to an evening dress
garniture of rosette-like flowers of gold
colored ribbon, appliqued on skirt and
bodice
One of the handsomest of this seasons
many handsome white cloth gowns is
richly embroidered with ribbon flowers
and silk cord, border of moleskin
finishing the skirt
A simple but chic gown of white cloth
has the skirt in three circular flounces
edged with white silk fringe. The full
bodice of white net is overlaid with o
deep crepe stole, trimmed with fringe.

A Fifty-Dollar
-Cheque-
copyright, 1908. By Daily Story Pub. Coz
by JULIA rRUIrr BISHOP

r RENT, rushing up to the Downleys'
as soon as he had left his train, after
his own impetuSus fashion, found that
his visit seemed to be in some way mop
perfume. The peculiar thing about 1t
was that it should have been the most
opportune imaginable, for the postman
had just passed, and Geraldine had re-
ceived $50 cheque for story-the
largest cheque in all her young expert
ence-and it was good time for con-
gratulations. After the congratula-
tons, of course, Trent would find time
to say what he had hurried home to say;
1t having been borne in upon his mind
during this two weeks absence that he
could not endure life longer without
this slim, brown-eyed girl whom he was
in the habit of calling Jerry.
Fifty dollars!" murmured Miss
Downlt-, blissfully, holding the cheque
near her eyes and then at arms length,
and viewing it from either point with
added joy. Fifty dollars! Do hush,
Fred! Fifty dollars!"
Il mentioned that was delighted, I
think" remarked Fred, jealously. Il
have been away two weeks. l expect to
be noticed little, myself"
Il can notice you any time-but one
doesn't get $50 cheques every day." said
Miss Downley. "Will you hush, Fred?
! want to think"
Il will not hush," said Trent, savage
ly. Il have come here 10 say something.
and am going to say 1t Put that silly
thing away, Jerry!"
Jerry looked at the pink slip and
pressed it to her lips.
He calls you a silly thing!" she re-
marked to the cheque, in apostrophe.
He has evidently been raised in the
lap of luxury. Really. Fred, this
cheque-$50!-did you notice the enor-
nous amount of it? has thrown me into
such confusion that haven't been able
to get two thoughts together since it
came. l wish to think of money for
awhile, Fred-money with big M.
Don't disturb mel"
"Jerry-will you be sensible a min
ute?" asked the sorely tried Fred. 81
want to tell you how much love YOU"
DO you think could be weaned away
from career that brought in cheques
for $50 as plentiful as blackberries?"
asked Jerry, turning shining brown eyes
upon him. 'I'll tell you what you may
do for me, Fred. I'll endorse this, and
you go to the bank and get 1t cashed for
me-and bring it to me in silver dollars,
please-the largest silver dollars they
have"
Trent arose. There was no such thing
as talking of love to girl who persisted
In talking money.
DO YOU expect me to do anything so
foolish as that?" he asked, with irrita-
tion, while she was scribbling her name
on the back Of the pink slip of paper

Date of Columbus, Birth.

A new book by Henry Vignaud, sec
retary of the United States embassy at
Paris. seeking to establish the date of
Columbus birth, will soon be pub
lished. The work is further devel-
opment of Mr.. Vignaud's Columbian re-
searches. Hitherto the date of the
birth of Columbus has been doubtful,
varying from 1880 to 145s. Mr.. Wig
maud has gathered data leading to the
conclusion that the great navigator
was born in 1451. He was, consequent
ly, young man when he discovered

ALUM, FLINT AND
SULPHURIC ACID.

1t is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon a grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and it is claimed that the article is a
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known to be
detrimental 20 health. In England and
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale of food contain
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use DR.. S. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor of Chemistry at Yale Col
lege, says: Bread made with bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice, and must, therefore, act
as poison"
1t is well known that these so-called
cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One of
them was recently analyzed at Yale
College and found to be one-qusrter
sharp pointed grains of ground flint.
others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts Of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
reputable well-known cream CT tartar
brand, and never buy from peddlers.
