Germaa Manners IMPROVING.


Splitting in first-class hotel and res
faurant. dining rooms and in railway
carriages is no longer considered to be
refined: 1t is only In clubs, where a
few incorrigible .knoten' (cads) or
elderly gentlemen retain the traditions
of the past in this particular. A cou-
pie Of days ago correspondent of the
Berlin Lokal Anzeiger even made an
onslaught on the habit OF putting the
knife into the mouth at meals. He de-
scribed the effect on foreigner who
had frequented high-class restaurants
with him, and who was SO Mortified
that he exclaimed. "The Germans in
these matters are still sayagesl' The
German blushed at the idea that a for
eigner could say such things OF his
countrymen. and recommended that
Children ait school and picnics must
be taught the proper way to eat. and
soldiers must be shown in their bar
racks how they are to consume their
food. In this matter the llentenants Of
the army have good opportunity for
proving themselves to be the trainers
OF the nation"

An absent .srsnded HIstoriaa.

Our European exchanges contain
many good anecdotes concerning the
late Theodor Mommsen, the great Ger
man historian They refer chiefly to
his Observation-Disclosures which was one
OF this learned mans most conspicu-
Gus failings On one occasion the pro-
fessor was engaged In his study in pro-
found researches and failed TO notice
the presence OF his servant, who an.
nounced lunch was ready. The serv-
ant asked If he might bring it to the
professor, and receiving no reply, laid
the table near the writing desk. Re
turning ten minutes later with some
fish, the dishonest mental found the
SOUP untouched. Thinking it too good
TO spoil he sat down and finished soup
and fish unobserved of the professor.
The remaining courses suffered a sim
liar fate. About an hour later Momm-
sen lookedupifrom his work, and, feel
ing vacuum. proceeded to the kitch-
en- to ask why Iuncheon had not been
served.
But the professor had his luncheon
an hour ago.. said the servant

MARRIAGE MUSINGS.

The honeymoon sometimes reaches
its last quarter.
Marriage is woman's sphere and
mans hemisphere.

From it may be fifty years.
Some husbands are known by the

Love lights life's pathway, but for
practical purposes the gas stove has

wedding trip to recall that there are

CONCERNING THE USE AND
ABUSE OF FACE POWDER

Even the ordinary woman, in these days
understands that the toilet of a lady is in
complete without touch OF face powder,
and that 1t is q protection. covering the
pores and preventing the dirt and dust OF
the streets from lodging in the skin.
The skin of a woman who has a beauti-
full complexion is clear and fine when It Ia
first bathed, but after a time kind of oil
exudes from the pores and gives the. face
a greasy and unwashed appearance. To
wash the face frequently, in order to pre-
vent this greasy look. is to ruin it, for 1t Is
this oil, exuding from the pores. that keeps
the skin in its fine condition. and skin that
is washed too often soon becomes harsh,
dry and smooth.
The use of powder covers and conceals
the greasy look, and also does away with
the shiny appearance that follows a thor
ough face wash, such as every one should
have once or twice day. according to her
occupation So every woman rushes to the
box Of face powder, ofttimes applying It
with more zeal than art.
The first step in the correct use of face
powder is a wise selection in the kind Of
powder used. and in its color. Nearly all
famous manufacturers of toilet prepare
lions send out at least three shades Of
face powder-the pure white. the pink. or
flesh color, and a brownIsh powder The
woman whose skin is dark makes a fatal
mistake in selecting pink or white pow
DER for. however smooth her skin may be
the powder will show. and the dark skin
beneath looks far worse than If no powder
at all were used. In fact, there are very
few compilations that can stand the use
Of white or pink powder, especially in the
daytime. These shades are intended for
the use Of stage celebrities while on the
stage.
There should never be the slightest hssi-
fancy in purchasing a good powder. ''Ths
best that is made" should be the rule
face powder should be fine and soft to the
touch. and when rubbed between the fin
gers should disappear into nothing with
out the least trace of gritty substance.
When applied to the face the touch should
he velvety Avoid the use OF a powder
that is the least BIT harsh
OF course. when one dresses the face Ia
bathed thoroughly and every trace Of dirt
removed from the pores One should then
go with the toilet until just before the
bodice is put on, and then the powder
should be applied. Unless the skin is per-
fectIy smooth the powder VIII surely show,
