Newest Thing In Fans.

The feather fan is something We
have all seen and heard about. But
the bird feather fan is a new and
beautiful relation OF the old style kind
which has just made 1t bow to the
world OF fashion.
These bird feather fans are Of o
soft and artistic beauty that defies
description. They are generally
mounted on tortoise-sheI sticks and
are made in odd and irregular shapes
some like the outspread wing OF q
bird, some heart shaped and some like
an inverted serrated leaf.

formed entirely of the irldescent neck
feathers of a dove, in shades ranging
all through the new petunia colors to
the sharpest metallic blues, which are
almost green. These words are but
harsh and Ineffective syllables with
which TO convey the Idea of the sof,
and lustrous and melting hues which
combined to make this fan a perfect
gem Of its kind. Seen In one light,
the fan was magenta, pink aud purple
Seen Ia another. it was light blue, dark
blue and purple.
A heart shaped fan was composed
Of the brilliant bronze.green feathers

white; the edge was finished with
brown. These fans are all Of the fold.

The partridge fan was all tones OF
brown. from the faintest ashen hue
TO the tawny russet. On one side was
mounted in delicate perfection the head

closed the head Rested upon the soft
cluster of feathers.
The pheasant fan was very effec-
tive one In brown, with the tiny white
speckled feathers filcklng 1t here and
there. A line OF the copper colored
large feathers was along the edge. with
deep brown and white to finish IL.
These bird feather fans promise to
be immensely popular. They are en-

Eesuty Hints Tor Women.

Every woman knows what sleep will
10 toward restoring the looks. But
the woman who Is a part OF the social
whirl during the gay months works
such havoc with her nerves that she
has TO learn to rest; she has to begin
all over again at the foot Of the lad
der that leads to beauty.
Rest Is imperative, regular habits
are essential. proper food is necessary.
The most difficult task in the repair
ing process is to learn TO rest.
A tired-olt woman Is not q woman
IN normal state. She is nerve sick,
and repose is the one achievement
quite beyond her power to acquire.
But repOse you must have, if you
would replace your wan, iaded look
by freshness and beauty.
The physical decadence that follows
a perversion Of all natures laws is oc-
companied by a condition OF nervous
excitement, nerve exhaustion, that
must be cured before the subject need
expect improved looks.
Don't make the mistake OF taking
medicine for frazZled nerves. A mar.
cotic or a stimulant will only produce
the imitation Of the real condition that
sou must earn by the exercise Of self
control and perseverance in the laws
that govern health and good looks.
Every woman needs an abundance Of
sleep-cight or nine hours ut the least
To get into normal condition after
weeks and months Of defying physical
laws requires the exercise Of will Dow
er, but it can be done. II you are able
to sleep-I am now speaking to the
army of society martyrs who wish 10
join the repair clnSs--treat yourself to
just as much natural slumber as you
can get. Never mind at first how or
when you take a nap. Exhausted ma
ture recuperates very rapidly during
normal sleep.
The rest cure is in order for the first
week without reservation. Sleep will
smooth out the wrinkles in many a
tired face, bring back roses to the
cheeks and brightness to the eyes.
If you cannat sleep. you must court
the drowsy god by long hours spent
out of doors, walking, driving. riding
Next to rest In Importance in the
beauty restoration treatment is deep
breathing.
Very few women breathe correctly,
and rarely, IL ever. does a tired wO-
man fill her lungs to the brim with
life-bringing oxygen.
10 breathe correctly Is to send the
blood bounding through the veins, and
once the blood eirculates freely,
health is established Correct breath
ing has been so often described in this
page that it is only necessary - refer
to II.
Don't forget that deep, full breath
ing is essential to the development OF
the greatest beauty your skin may at
tain.
Deep breathing not only produces
beauty but health. and by the sim
pie practice of correctly inhallng ana
exhaling, always through the nostrils,
pure oxygen many diseases are abso-
lutely cured.-St. Louis Star.
