The Face Beautiful.

How unreasonable some women are.
They have bad complexion. They go
to a specialist and expect wonders TO
be worked on their faces in a single
treatment of an hours length. They
are advised to come often and regular
ly Of they want to see Improvement,
but they think 1t is because the mass
euse wants to make" more out of
them. They mean to come again
next week." but when the time
comes they want the dollar for some
thing else and they don't go. Then
they decry the masseuse and her ca
pabilitles. If one has face that
needs treatment-and whose could not
be beneflted-she should begin with
treatments every day until she sees
improvement. Then it is well enough
to make weekly visits. Persistency
and faithfulness on the part of the pa
tient are as necessary as skill on the
part Of the masseuse.

After the Fourth.

Let us gather up our children,
Now the glorious Fourth is done!
Fit the daughter-pieces nicely,
Match the fragments of our son,
While in broken tones they murmur,
"Never had such heaps O fun"
Lay them gently on the green sward,
Johnny's head on Johnny's drum.
Now lets see what else is missing,
With his teeth and Susie's thumb,
Borne away by cannon crackers
To the land of kingdom come.
This blue sky must shield our darlings,
Our ancestral roof is gone.
II went up in smoke and sparkles
As the Fourth began to dawn,
But we saved clock and teaspoon
And we're camping on the lawn.

Fashion Notes.

Tucked coats are many and effec-
tive.
Linen ribbon trims a walking hat Of
white Japanese straw.
If you can wear a wide belt, do so;
they are very, very stylish.
Champagne pink is a new French
designation for the modish tint.
The cape bolero is one of the de-
signs suited to the linen and other
wash suitings.
A touch of gold is introduced in
nearly all the passementeries, embroid-
cries and laces.
To lend touch of brightness to gray
costumes, dark orange velvet is en-
ployed for garniture.
Some of the newest hat pins are
oval, and in the peacock coloring-
green toning into blue.
With little practice one can pro-
duce a very pretty marcel wave with
an ordinary curling iron.
One can hardly get through the sum-
mer without a white hat She will
want it If she doesn't need it
White velvet or panne, embroidered
with chenille dots in different colors,
represents novelty in garnitures.
Do not put your furs away with the
dirt on them. 1t is not only a slack
way of doing but helps to ruin the fur.
The practical automobile cap for
long ride on hot day out into the
dusty country is a linen duck of tan
color.
There is new nine-gored skirt with
habit back that flares very pretily
about the feet. If one wants to strap
her skirt this is suitable model.
Wide linen and pique collars are be-
ing very generally worn by young boys
and girls. They brighten up a dark
frock and are very neat on the white
ones.
A novel combination of Partisan
origin is that the crepe de chine and
velvet, the latter as a trimming in a
paler tint than the sheer fabric it
adorns.
The little medallions of fine embroid-
cry can be utilized by the amateur
dressmaller on sheer lawns and mus

The fashion for short dress sleeves
will be more generally followed this
summer than for q good many years.
Even the girl whose wrists and hands
are not remarkable for their beauty
will venture to follow her more fav-
ored sisters. Some will wear them to
the elbow and others will cut them off
half way between the elbow and the
hand. If the arm is very thin, lace
should be used plentifully.
