zatlon of the special grand jury calleo

zation of the special grand jury called
to investigate the Chadwick case.
The basis for the system that has
wrought havoc to an extent yet I'M
known, for the stories of ruined homes
through loss of savings are only begin
ming to come in, is now shown to be
strikingly akin to that by which the
bankers of France were defrauded Of
millions ia the Humbert case, which
is of such recent memory as to be
almost contemporaneous history. Mrs.
Chadwick's inheritance seems to be as
mythical and her benefactor as ficti-
tious as the inheritance from the
ina ginary American millionaire that
bert's safe.
That DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, now
in Europe, was in the plot with his
wife to borrow vast sums on bogus Sc
curities is the assertion of Iri Reyn-
olds, treasurer of the Wade Park
bank, trustee for the mysterious pack
age of Chadwick securities" DR..
Chadwick, he asserts, also knew about
trust agreement, bearing the naIne
of Andrew Carnegie, deposited with
Reynolds, asserting that Mr.. Carnegie
held securities worth $10,246,O0O be-
longing to Mrs. Chadwick.
/ 1t is now said that although the
notes bearing Carnegie's name were
forged Mrs. Chadwick cannot be pros
ecuted for forgery, as she did not at
tempt to sell the notes.
A Dazzling Chapter.
1t was in 1897 that DR.. Leroy
Chadwick, a widower of no especial
prominence and having a small prac-
tice in his profession, brought bride
to his native city of Cleveland. They
had been married in Pittsburg. She
was fair of face, trife over 40, and
possessed of magnetic manner. Still
she attracted no attention until she
and her huband moved into a mansion
OH Euclid avenue and began to show
evidences of enormous wealth. Enter

HOW q LOVELY FACk CROWS.
"Ch. she has a lovely face" said a
girl enthusiastically. "But she isn't
founE.' added a second, doubtfully.
Evening journal., 1904-10-29

"And her features aren't al all regular"
chimed in the third.
Still, she has lovely face" summed
up the fourth, and they all agreed.
The woman of whom they were talk
ing was elderly, and had been plain in
her youth Nobody called her SO now.
Passersby in the street glanced a second
time at the beautiful face under the
circle of friends were never tired of
gazing at her. But, as / have said, in
her youth she was plain girl. Often
she troubled, like girls will, over her
lack of beauty. Then, one day, she
made a discovery. Her looking-glass
told her that cross thoughts and sharp
words were reflected in her dulled skin
and eyes. Sullen habits dropped the
corners Of her mouth, and drew a long
line from thence to the chin; anger
wrinlIled her forehead, and stormy pas
sion pinched her lips into a tight, thin,
straight thread of red.
Next, she noted that her ill-temper
was spelling her soft, pink and white
complexion. If she felt cross before
ahy meal, her digestion was bad, and
that meant a flushed face, red or swol-
len nose, and tinge of yellowness in
the skin Simply, at first, because she
loved beauty and desired with her whole
heart to be beautiful, she began TO curb
her natural petulance, and sullSy or
hasty temper. Finding the discipline
resulted not only in a sweetness of look
and a clearness of eye, but in peace
ful mind, she continued in her efforts
to make a beautiful character.
Before long she had he- reward. Pa
ience, gentleneSs, pure living, high
thinking and noble aims did their work.

eyes shine more brilliantly at a ball
blue eyes are more sympathetic al
early dawn; black eyes arouse and
conquer more easily. blue eyes guard
their conquests longer; black eyes
belong to a responsive heart, but a
light one; blue eyes have a heart
more tender and less apt to change
black eyes shoot darts, blue eyes a
tender fame; black eyes show intel
hgence and blue eyes the soul"
As matter of fact the color doesn't
count much. It is the expression, the
shape, the surroundings, that make il
beautiful OF commonplace.
In the first place there is the toilet
of the eyes. Soap and water are not
20 be recommended. The careful
woman should wash her eyes every
night and morning with a bit of ster-
ilized absorbent cotton dipped in warm
boric water.
In order to cultivate your eyebrows
properly you should study the perfect
eyebrow. 1t should be curved, arched,
should begin thick and end in a fine
thread. Now over the nose the brows
should be well separated by a wide
space. If they are too close together
they may be removed with the cleo
trio needle or with some depilatory.
The first necessity is TO keep them
always absolutely clean They may be
made to grow long and thick by oc-
casionally cutting their ends with
curved scissors.
If the lashes arc inclined to fall out,
] should advise washing them frequent
ly in tepid boric water and then rub
bing on them every night cold cream
A good method for making the eyes
appear larger has been to tattoo the lids
black on the edge. OF course this has
an advantage over paint, inasmuch as
it does not come off with tears.

time injurious to the eyes and may even
cause Inflammation.
When the inflammation Is con-
fined TO the lids and slight-of course
for any serious inflammation you should
consult a physician-the eyes should
be bathed with a bit of sterilized alb
sorbent cotton, dipped in a solution Of
boricated camomile heads. To prepare
this solution add small spoonful of
