AIDS OF COL ONIAL BELLIES.

The belle of George Washington's day
her beauty lotions. If she wanted
beauty creams and beauty powders,
she had to make them herself.
That these beauty mixtures, says the
New York Sun, did whiten the skin and
that they did preserve it, giving it just
correct amount of rosiness, there is no
question. The fame of the Colonial
bellies has lived to this day.
Most of the recipes were simple, and
many of them had fo> their chief in
gredient some very easily procured
herb, usually one that could be gath
cred in the garden.
The old Virginia clover cream, ia
nous until now, was made largely from
sweet clover, and the wonderful milk of
roses which caused the cheeks to bloom
was largely a product of the garden.
Freckle lotions. tan removers and heal
ing salves of all kinds were made, if
not from the herbs of the garden, from
some easily procured drugs, which,
for the most part, came out of the
family medicine chest.
The scents which made these old
fashioned cold creams so alluring were
~
well as from the garden, and the creams
gave forth aroma of pinks, roses, cloves,
clover, balsam and lavender.
One lotion, which was said to be a
great favorite with Martha Washing
ton, consisted of orange flower water,
made milky with benzoin. The propor-
lions as made then called for two
ounces of orange flower water and two
drains of benzoin. The ingredients
were shaken together and the lotion
was kept at hand where 1t could be APP
piled to the face frequently.
There was another famous old beauty
lotion which is as good to-day as it was
then, and probably better, for the quail
ity of the materials has improved. This
lotion, which rejoiced In the attractive
name of morning dew, consisted of
glycerine with rose WAFER, borax and
benzoin.
To an ounce of rose water there was
added half the quantity of glycerine,
and to this were added half a teaspoon
full of bordx powder and three drops of
benZoin. This makes very small
quantity, but not a great deal is need
ed. 1t can be applied to the face with
the finger tips or with bit of old linen
The Colonial bellies who had been out
for a dash across country were accus-
toned on their return to apply to face
neck and hands that had been exposed
to the sun a beauty lotion which was
called milk of freckles.
1t was made by shaking the white of
an egg to a froth with an equal amount
of lemon juice. A teaspoonful of borax
powder was added to a tumblerful of
this mixture. This restored the skin to
whiteness and removed any freckles
that might have been caused by the
sun that day.

THE LADY OR
THE GREENBACKS?

Some men are born great, some
achieve greatness, and some have
100000 thrust upon them. That may
not be the exast quotation, but, says
the New York Times, it is modified to
suit the case. 1t has just been an
nounced that William ], Brady has
signed contract with Jane Oaker, at
present leading woman in 1.-THE Pit"
whereby that young woman is to be
featured in a new play next season and
starred the year after.
Now to understand and fully ap-
preciate this most recent confidence of
the Brady press agent it is necessary
to revert to somewhat ancient history
Jane Oaker, in real life, according to
the publicity agent, is a Miss pepper,
daughter of a st. Louis millionaire,
who is likewise a member of the di-
rectorate of the big tobacco trust and
various other wealthy corporations. Mr..
pepper, it SENS, has original ideas as
to the best method of dealing with
stage-struck girls. His daughter had
every advantage at home and abroad
to fit her for a society career, but she
suddenly burst in upon papa with the
announcement that she was going upon
the stage.
Mr.. pepper, contrary to the general
attitude of fathers on such occasions,
did not fume and storm and tell her
"henceforth thou art no daughter of
mine" On the contrary he accepted
the situation with suavity, told her
that if her mind was made up he
would not oppose her, but pointedly
added that if she persisted in her in
tention she could expect no help from
him in a financial way.
IF you go on the stage" said Papa
pepper, you do it on your own risk.
Such money as you need for your per-
sonal wants will be placed to your ac-
count, and you can draw upon it at
will. But not one cent is to be set
aside for the furtherance of your his
trionic ambition
But Mr. pepper added that If at the
end of five years his daughter was
within measurable distance of stardom
he would give her 100000, all for her
very own, to be used for whatever
purpose she saw fit. On her part the
daughter had to promise that if, at the
end of that period, she was not sue
cessful to the extent of occupying a
prominent place in the profession she
would abandon the stage forever.
1t may be said to Miss Peppers
credit that she has accomplished much
during the last two or three seasons.
She has appeared on Broadway as
leading woman with two prominent
stars, she organized a stock company
in Denver, where she appeared for
two summer seasons, and she went
through forty weeks of stock experience
with George Fawcett in Baltimore. 1t
is asserted that since the day she
started out she has been absolutely
self-supporting, and now comes the
Brady announcement that she is to be
a real, sure-enough star.
100000.
But the question, after all, is: Which
is 1.-THE lady or the greenback?

EMOTIONLESS WOMEN
OF JAPAN.

Emma Kemp had an interesting talk
with the wife of the Japanese consul
at New York the other day, which was
published in the New York American.
The following is an extract:
Right is might" said Mime. Sada-
zuchi Uchida, looking at me with frank,
round eyes.
Where did you learn that?" asked
"In school in Japan. where American
teachers taught us to speak English
/ used to write it in my copy book in a
big, round hand, and twice since then
l have learned to apply it-once when
we went to war with China, and now
again.
1--WE have many sayings similar to
yours in Japan. Another is that a
woman is as old as she looks We un-
derstand that like you've do not tell
our age"
Nine. Uchida need not hesitate. for
her face is as placid as a healthy ba-
by's. It's yellow-brown skin is as UNI
lined as a little girls. She looks as
though she had never suffered even the
troubles of a debutante, who NAV
wrinkle her brcws at the small number
of her mariners and her favors at
dance. Yet she has been married ten
years, and she has a son of eight, who
is in great hurry to grow big enough
to be q soldier and join in the fight.
But" my son." says his mother pla-
cidly. there will be no Russians when
you grow up, or they will be so peace
full, so harmless, that you will not want
to fight them"
Are there beauty doctors in JAPAN"

FIRST SIGNS OF AGE.

Nowadays, says the New York Trib-
une, when every one stays young who
wishes Chat is to say, every one may,
if he has the health spirits and suffi-
cient freedom from anxiety to care to
make the effort to remain youthfuD, Ii
is the children, not the parents, that
give the shock of realizatio to the
friends, who, after the lapse of a few
years, meets again his former associ-
ates. 1t is seeing the babbling babies
of his recollection transformed into
intelligent, well grown children, the lit
tie boys and girls that he involuntarily
expects to see again, metamorphose to
young men and women. But this does
not shock him so much as to find the
freshness of youth departed forever
from some well known face that he
has admired only a few years back
in the glory of youthful maidenhood.
There is something very pathetic
about the first indications of maturi-
ty upon young Womans countenance.
The change is SO indefinable, so insig
nificant! Merely an infinitesimal sharp
ening sof some line of contour, a slight
depression of a muscle or two, or per-
hapS a very few fine wrinkles almost
invisible here and there Zone cannot
tell exactly what it is, but it is there),
the first indications of waning charms
that it is impossible to ignore. Later
on a pretty woman is very apt to re-
gain all she has lost, and more. She
is more attractive, more beautiful at
full maturity than she was a dozen
years before. Even at middle age
and often much later she retains her
charm and good looks, but there is a
period just after early girlhood when
a woman almost invariably shows
signs of going off," This the modern
woman makes up for, as has already
been said, at an age when her forbears
were well content to be called old wom-
en- and to resign their social prestige
to their daughters, who in their turn
have become matrons, and reached a
period that formerly would have been
called middle aged.
II have always noticed" remarked
a man recently. that young married
women seem much older at 26 or 27
than a decade later-for the first ten
or twelve years of their married life
they are apt to be absorbed in their
nurseries and take their various re-
sponsibilities very seriously. Later they
either become more philosophic, or the
instinct of self reasserts itself, for they
pick up amazingly, and it is quite
wonderful sometimes to see how they
revive and bloom out again"

PROPOSE TO RICH BACHELOR.

Clifford Harmon, a wealthy resident
Of Philadelphia who has been staying
in Pasadena, Cal, for some time past,
has been compelled to fee the town
or else get married, for the girls of
that town have made matters too
warm for him. Possessed of consid-
cradle wealth, Mr.. Harmon is the own
er of a lovely county seat near the
Quaker city, known as THE Naples"
The mansion, says the Chicago
Chronicle, Is built in the colonial style
and is surrounded by a natural park
of twelve acres where stately naples
and sweeping elms cast fantastic shad-
ows on stretches of velvet lawn. By
paths lead through groves Of shrubbery
to bosky dells, artificial ponds and a
natural lake which is spanned by rus
tic bridges. There are also fine stables
with blooded horses, dog carts, drags,
automobiles-to the number of seven
and all that the heart of man can de-
sire-except a wife.
And now because one pretty girl
after another has availed herself of the
privileges of the season and offered to
make good the deficiency and supply
the one thing lacking to this bachelors
happiness-rumor says he will leave
Pasadena.
Mr.. Harmon is known as Jimmie"
by his intimates, for no other reason
probably than the fact that Jimmie is
not his name. 1.-THE only trouble with

meets think she is the only one. with

him you see 1t completely hoored him.

and came to me for advice. Letting
the thing go gave the girl hopes and

QUEENS FAVORITE
PERFUMES.

It is announced, says a London dis
patch to the New York Sun, that rose
water is now the fashionable perfume.
The Queen, however, remains constant
to one perfume. which is the secret of
a Partisan perfumer. 1t is called
occur de Jeanette" and costs about
guineas a pint, which is not ex-
pensive as fashionable perfumes go.
1t is taken as a signal favor when
the Queen presents a box of this per-
fume, as the brand is most particular
ly reserved for herself to prevent it
from becoming vulgarized.
The Czarina at present favors a
special brew of Parma violets. She,
unlike Queen Alexandra, often changes
her perfumes, favoring among others
jonquil and jessamine extracts. The
German Empress prefers new mown
hay, while the Queen of Holland dis
likes scents with the exception of eau
de cologne.
