MA ARCH is SO trying to the complex
I'VE ion!" girls often say. This the
reason why:
During the winter you've been living
In rooms that are much too hot, sitting
bv glorious fires half the day, taking,
Drobablv not nearly as much exercise
in the fresh air as you should have DONE
and eating too much.
Oh yes, it's a well known fact that
during the winter pDonths nearly every
body puts on fiesh.H
1t isn't tempting to go for long walks
and bicycle rides, and when spring comes
the stomach Is a little bit overloaded
and out of sorts. = The skin is an index
of the state of that organ and develops
salIowness, and sometimes also crop Of
pimples, and there you are with a March
complexion.
K If people lived more carefully and took
more exercise during the winter, there
wouldn't be so many March complex
1ons.''
The best thing you can do is to simplify
your diet, eat fruit in moderation and
take good walk every day. =.
safe rule, If you want to preserve a
good complexion, is to take medicines
as seldom as possible. Their constant
use spoils the beauty Of the skin, and
makes it yellow and faded looking.
The natural cure, such as the eating of
fruit and abstinence from all farinaceous
food (bread, potatoes, cake, etc. for a
day or two, is far better than drugs.
But the skin itself needs attention, too.
The March winds are laden with dust and
this is deposited on the skin, and unless
removed will block the pores and cause
pimples.
If you walk and get warm-and you
must If you are to get any benefit from
exercise-the pores are SO open that the
dust is certain to, lodge in them.
When you come in, what do you do?
Probably you throw off your hat and
coat and begin work of some kind at once,
OF read a novel, or sit down to lunch or
tea.
Even if you change your dress and
wash your face you content yourself with
a mere soap and water ablutfon-an
ablutlon which, when the pores OF the
skin are laden with dust. is absolutely
useless so far as removing 1t is concerned.
What you ought to do is to smear your
face with a cleansing cold cream, or salad
oil If you like ii better. Leave this on for
! ten minutes; then with a soft rag wipe ii
off, Finally wash your face In lukewarm
7 water, to which a little milk has been
added using good soap.
Rinse in the washing water first and
! then in another similar lot of milk and
water. Dry very thoroughly and if the
skin feels at all dry rub in a very little
| nourishing cream, wiping off any that il
| will not absorb; an
A final rub with a clean channels leath-
er will take away any suspicion Of shini-
ness, and leave you with such a nice
! comfortable skin, with no suspicion OF
/ driedupness. i

Dame. Some say she has her eye on
the highest honors in that body. She
was leader in the recent victory FOR
the custody of the Jumel mansion. No
Colonial Dame in the country has a
better social position than she, and
probably she will turn from her ia
vorite bridge" to indulge her ambi-
ton to rule in her society. One rival
would be Mrs. John Lyon Gardiner,
who commands the influence Of the
Griswolds and the Livingstons. Mrs
Timothy M. Cheesman, Mrs. Thomas
W. Ward and Mrs. Oscar Edgerton
Schmidt also are important women
among the Colonial Danes. All the
members realize Mrs. Gerard is I'M
usually active this winter.
1t was case of necessity when the
Clarence H. Mackays obtained a pri-
the Waldorf-Astoria. The bold staring
Of the idlers in Peacock alley annoys
the women who pass through. Mrs.
Mackay, who is striking in appear
ance, always was greeted with audible
comment when she visited her mother
in that hotel year ago. The Mackays
use the Thirty third street entrance,
made celebrated by royal and semi
royal personages who occupied the
apartment the Mackays now have
Mrs. Mackay now comes and goes as
she pleases without hearing her name
whispered. She is extremely tall, ex-
tremely brunette and extremely stun
ming. With those three attributes it
is little wonder some persons stare.
Little Katherine Mackay in her furs
is pretty to look at. With her soberly
dressed governess, she walks in Fifth
avenue a oir &c fo{r
than her mother, but has an express
sion exactly like Mrs. Mackay's The
child usually wears white. Her little
cloth coat is trimmed with white fox
and large hat also is touched with that
snowy fur. A miniature muff swings
from the neck of this little heiress and
she wears white kid leggings.

Spangles ranging from those as
tiny as a pin head to ones as large as
a 10 cent piece are being as much used
on summer gowns as they were during
the past season.
Black nets and chiffons spangled
with black are much used, but the new
est and most appropriate gowns for
summer wear are white or delicately
colored nets spangled with silver, green
or pale iridescent spangles.
An exceptionally pretty gown of
this order is illustrated. 1t is of white
net over a white taffeta foundation
finished with deep plating and veil
ed with the palest shade of tulip green
chiffon. The silk skirt is. we'll gored
and fitted to the figure, and the chiffon
skirt is also gored but is fuller and is
gathered to the belt. Over these two
skirts is hung the white net skirt
which is quite full and is shirred, with
tiny heading, around the hips and be-
low 1t is trimmed with vertical rows
Of large silvery green spangles with
tiny green pailettes between. Around
the bottom are appliQued large figures
Of tulip green chiffon velvet covered
with the large spangles and below

them is a more open scroll design Of
the large spangles, with the tiny pai-
lettes scattered all over.
The bodice is cut with a round dec
Olletage outlined with folds of the
green chiffon and the net is shirred
below this to correspond to the small
hip yoke. The sleeves are merely full
shaped ruff1es of the net lined with
green chiffon and edged with folds Of
the same and both they and the bodice
are trimmed in similar way as the
skirt with large and small spangles.
The belt is Of crushed green chiffon
velvet fastened at the back with one
Of the new jeweled gold buckles.
Another white net gown, equally
lovely, is spangled with round and
round rows of large spangles of the
same iridescent colors as are seen in
an opal, with tiny spangles between.
The bottom Of the skirt is finished
with leaf design wrought in the
spangles, and finished with a full
spangled ruche.
The decolletage of the bodice is Dor
dered by the leaf design, similar, but
smaller, than that on the skirt, and is
spangled below in horizontal rows.

A church in the East somewhere has
established what are called counting
parlOrs," where young persons may
meet and conduct their counting which
the church hopes will end in marriage
In connection with the parlOrs there
are dancing parties for the same young
people and they are supposed to dance
only under religious auspices. Well,
did you ever? What next? All this is
done with a good intention, as the
church thinks that young people will
surely dance and court somewhere, and
il is best to bring them under religious
influences while so doing. But the
question is how far should this sort of
thing be carried The church knows
that men are inclined to gamble, either
in stocks or with cards, so if the
church wishes to bring everything that
men do under religious influence, 1t
ought to open religious gambling par
lOrs. Then, alas, many men will drink;
why not church saloons?
OF course the church parlors for
counting, where John and Amelia may
meet, would certainly recommend it
self to the strenuous powers that be,
and the church in question will prob
ably receive congratulations straight
from the White house. And yet it re-
mains a question whether the church is
In very good business.
/
scribed the counting parlOrs, went on
to tell that the minister called a meet
ing once a week of the young people
Of the parish, and preliminary to get
ting down to business, the pastor
opened the meeting with prayer and
the singing of a few hymns, during
which, doubtless, John and Amelia held
hands in the rear of the parlor. Much
good advice was offered to the young
nva1n I9n i-fn n oh
probably fell upon deaf ears and was
of comfort solely to the pastor HIM
self. If the clergy only knew how use
less good advice is usually to those
under twenty-five, much eloquence
might be saved for other occasions.
Then after prayer and the hymns the
social part of the evening began and
the young people were left to their own
devices.
Now the thoughtful will certainly
highly commend this scheme; religion
has heretofore concerned itself with
ethical and spiritual matters but here
is an eminently practical field in which
1t can do untold good.
Some persons who have been to
church Sunday evenings and seen the
glanceS that were cast upon the maid
ems by the youths of the congregation,
and the hand-holding under hymn
books that went on near the door and
out of reach of the pastors eagle eye,
may regard the counting parlors as en-
tirely unnecessary. But the good in
tentiOn of the minister who has inau-
gurated this up-to- date scheme cannot
be doubted. There is, too, unitarian
view to take of the matter and this
concerns the marriage which must help
out tremendously when the pastors
salary is not munificent.
We have something here in this city
on the order of the counting parlors'
at the Bethel, where the young people
are allowed to fOregather in the even
ings. Generally slow and conserva-
tive, in this instance we are up-to-d date
and ahead of our sister city,

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM.


When her daughters were in their
bud" days Mrs. Frederic Nelson
dressed modestly, so that they could
sbe arrayed in purple and fine linen, but
now that the former Miss Cathleen's
bills are paid by her husband, Reginald
Vanderbilt, and the one-t time Miss
Belle is the wife of Hollis H. Hume
we'll, Mrs. Nelson no longer need count
the pennies. She always was economi-
cal, except when called upon to do
something big" Then Mrs. Fred never
was found lacking. When her daughter
was married to a Vanderbilt she did
not spare expense, and the display of
flowers was lavish, but in the ordinary
routine Mrs. Nelson is saving This
winter, however, her gowns and furs
have been remarkably fine, and she
treated herself to the handsomest err
mine stole in the city. 1t was from Paris,
and the little black tails were set like
spokes of wheel. One of Mrs. Neil.
sons hats is causing a mild stir. It is
dashing black toque, with a brilliant
green a1grette of great size. Mrs. Neil
son is small, and that is why the en-
erald plume is SO conspicuous.
After all, the HunneweIls did not go
to Japan. Probably the former Mrs.
Arthur Kemp would find the shells Of
the Russian battleships too exciting
even for her. Instead, she is at Palm
Beach, where she is pointed out to all
tourists as the heroine of the Kemp di-
vorce. Even. had that marital tangle
not brought her before the public her
gowns would entitle her TO distinction.
She really outdreSSes Mrs. William B.
Leeds, and that is saying a great deal.
Mrs. HunneWell is a devotee of the
prlncesse gown, and as she has a mag
n1fiCent figure she r0VelS in costumes
of the melted and poured into-them
type. A gown of Irish point lace, dyed
delicate pink and trimmed with
| touches of white chiffon, is one Of Mrs.
! HunneWelPs most admired gowns IT
bears several jeweled buttons that add
| to it's beauty.
| Evidently Mrs. William K Wander
| bilt Jr., observes the teachings of her
| church faithfully, as she and Mrs
| Hunnewell are not in the least friendly
| Mrs. Hunnewell's remarriage operated
| automatically to bar her from the RO-
| man Catholic communion. Mrs Hume
! well was one of the sponsors for Mrs
| Vanderbllt's elder daughter, Muriel
and at one time the young matrons
| were on intimate terms. Mrs. w. K
| Vanderbilt Sr. has not put herself tC
any trouble in the way of being cor
| dial to Mrs. Hunnewell; but then the
| senior Mrs. Vanderbilt, when she was
| at Palm Beach, ignored everybody
| there except her own little party Some
| predict that young Vanderbilt will
have a half brother or sister before
the passing Of many months.
