OLD AND NEW AIDS TO BEAUTY.
Doubt if Inventions Have Made Women
More Attractive.

OF course, there is nothing new in
the cult of beauty; the only nov city
lies in the extravagant fashion In
which new inventions are applied to it.
Electric baths and vibration treatment
may be innovations. but cosmetics and
medicated baths date from the earliest
ages. Women have always aspired to
he beautiful, and have painted their
faces and tired their heads since
time immemorial and in all countries.
The geisha of Japan changes the color
of her lips three times in one evening.
and no little Japanese lady ever misses
an opportunity of whipping out the
rouge pot and mirror which form All
indispensable part of her toilet. Among
the recipes which have come down to
us from our ancestresses are many
prescriptions for the complexion COM
posed of marshmallow and wax. honey
of roses and olive oil. Mixed bathing
in tubs of water thickened with scent

fashion in medieval France and re-

The question is, Are women really
any more admired to-day for being

Is any attraction worth having which
is obtained by the painful and eXpen-
sive methods we read of? l doubt it.
Nobody is really taken in by the arti-
ficially manufactured beauty.
1t is the duty of every woman to
make the best of herself. Certain de-
fects of complexion and figure can be
easily remedied. Physical exercise
fresh air and good diet will work Won

An interesting method of protecting

In November the earth Is removed

the ground has become soft the tree
is worked back and forth to loosen the
roots, and then is pushed over on it's

burlap covered with earth is put over
them. Thus the trees lie all snug until
spring, when the covering is gradually
loosened and finally removed, and they

While the French submarine boat
Narval was leaving Cherbourg HarboI
recently. she came into collision with a
tugboat which was travelling at right
angles to the course of the submarine
The officer of the latter observed the
approaching tug and Immediately re

time making speed of five knots
Although the momentum of the sub
marine was thus considerably reduced
she struck the tugboat with sufficien
force amidships to force her nose
through the hull of the latter to tn,

ultimately foundered when the nos,

All the revolution that mankind is
yearning for is just this: to make men
look in the direction of their work,
to emphasize service and not wages,
to ask how much good it will do? and
not does it pay? writes Ernest Crosby,

CANDIDATE PARKER IS

conservative manner.

knew the man say it seemed as II they
had seen him cast off his black robe
at that moment and don the armor OF

The half thousand men, women and
children who sat under the dripping
skies saw in Judge Alton Is. Parker a
man six feet in height, erect as an ar
row sunburned, smiling, forcefu and
mild of voice. As he spoke rain drops
trickled from the tanned bald spot
into his sandy, gray-fringed hair. His
dark eyes snapped as if punctuating his
sentences. He has habit of tugging
at his sandy mustache. In repose he
stands with his hands clasped before
him and he is constantly throwing
back his shoulders and extending his
breast.
Champ Clark had delivered his poetic
Grafton and the crowd was cheering
when Judge Parker advanced to the
Platform rail. The dignity and solemn
ity of the occasion was over every one
like a blanket. The noise ceased and
every ear was awake to hear the first
public utterance of the candidate since

Mrs. womack- Dignan-Dana, wife

From Seattle comes this story:

were said to do service as wine
glasses ut frequent suppers.

big brown eyes which still haunt

grounds and was brought by Mrs.

band. At the time she was guest
at the Hotel Washington. where she
spent the time quietly between the
filing OF her divorce complaint, ON
June %. and the granting of her de-
cree, on July IL.
Then she disappeared from the
city again and was not heard from
till the news came of Dana's suicide.

AT first Dignan intended to APP

neys Stafford & Dawes to represent
him, but changed his mind and al
lowed the suit to go by default. The
divorce was granted July II by Judge
Hatch of Clallam county, who was

Parker, hospitable first and then ell
oauent, seemed little surprised at
this cheering and he evidently could
not understand why the throng before
him should laugh at his effort to make
his guests comfortable before he for
mally accepted the leadership of the
Democratic party.
Judge Parker has melodious voice.
1t is soft and clear and his enumeration
is perfect. Every syllable is pronoun-
ced distinctly. His gestures are mod
est. He points the index finger OF his
right hand and often raises that hand
to his face but never above his head.
He does not move about the platform,
and he does not bend his back. Yachts
on the Hudson were sending up aerial
torpedoes, whistles were screaming,
children romping on the porch were
talking and laughing loudly, and roost-
ers were growing. but everyone in the
crowd heard every word Judge Parker
spoke.
The candidate in discussing the issues
was serious enough, but he turned
quickly and gracefully from this to dig
nihed and subtle humor and laughed
mildly with the crowd at his telling
hits.
There was a picture connected with
that ceremony which few saw. Mrs.
Parker, a number of her friends about
her, sat in a rustic summer house look
ing directly into the face of her hus-
band. BY all odds she wore the most
serious expression of anyone in Rose
mount. Her daughter was laughing in
her conversation with friends, but Mrs.
Parker sat almost rigid, facing straight
ahead and listening in wrapt attention.
At times her lips moved as il she were
following her husbands words. She was
simply dressed and quite in contrast
to the display of gorgeous colors worn
by the women about her.
Less than 100 of Judge Parker
neighbors attended the ceremony
