DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.

Drink a glass of water when you
get out of bed in the morning, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Never mind the
size of the glass. Let the water be
cold if you will. Some people pre-
scribe hot water, but that isn't neces-
sary. You may have washed your
face already and relished the expert
ence. You may have taken a cold
plunge into the tub and delighted in
the shock and its reaction. The brisk
use of the toothbrush has left your
mouth clean and the breath sweet.
But you are dirty still.
Dring a glass of cold water and en-
Joy the sensation of being clean in

ton that has grown sluggish in the

1T is as good as a play" she says,
eff you only look at it in that way.
The waiting room In the Grand Cen
trail Station is a very good place, only
/ always prefer to go where I can hear
conversations. That makes it so much
more amusing. The ladies' parlors in
the. big hotels are the best places.
Yesterday I had to wait about thirty
minutes. SO / went into a very fash
ionable hotel and sat down in the re-
ception room not far from a solemn
group of people who looked interest
ing, from the fact that they seemed so
i'll at ease. A ponpous and prosperous
looking old man, evidently Westerner,
and his wife, a nervous, fragile, home
~ little body, were receiving New
York callers-a man with his wife and
daughter.
THE men originally must have come
from the same place. The labored
conversation was full Of local illusions,

This was Scene No. like the contlnu-
GUS performance at a vaudeville thea
ter. However, I had a variety to
choose from. Such a pretty woman
came into the room, dressed in the
hight of fashion. 1t was a pleasure
merely to study her clothes. She
sauntered over to one corner and pull
ed out two chairs, which she placed
side by side, but facing opposite ways.
/ wondered why she did that, but soon
saw the reason. She sat gracefully
down in one facing the door through
which came a moment after, preceded
by a bell boy, the evidently expected
caller. She rose, received him cor
daily, and then ingeniously stepped
around, and, taking the chair facing
the wall, left him no alternative but to
take the other facing the door. This
clever little arrangement brought them
very close together in face to face
tete-a-tete, while practically hiding her
from general observation, for her back
was turned to the general public, while
the mans figure was interposed be-
tween her and the other inmates Of the
room on the other side. Aha! my

THE GIRL AND THE ALMOND.

A Mt. Airy girl, says the Philadelphia
Record, who is fond of a change Of de-
coration in the way of plants for the
centre of the table, conceived the idea
of planting seeds to see how young
trees would look. Among others she
planted an almond, and watched with
interest for the first sign of life. Not
many days passed before a crevice In
the soft earth disclosed a pretty sight.
The shell had gone from the almond;
the skin had disappeared. Peeping
through the dark ground a "blanched"
almond came daily more and more In
TO view Then a lovely shell-pink
tinted the ivory white, and a pale
sprout shot up. This sprout grew
with amazing rapidly and soon the
cotyledons appeared. Like the seed,
these cotyledons were ivory white,
with a blush OF pink.
The young tree shot up, fraii and
white, but TO its owners surprise soEne-
thing else seemed coming out at the
root. After a few days of patient wat
ing she discovered a second tree grow
ing from the same spot In the jar. Her
friends declared she must have plant
ed two almonds; but she insisted that
she had only put in one. The second
tree grew UP stronger and straighter
than its brother. and still the mystery
remained unsolved. Those who were in

WOMAN'S WORLD

and graceful, but it is a coincidence
that happens with such marvellous fire.
quency that it has put the elderly
and hard featured woman out Of bus
mess.
Every woman in commercial or pro-
fessional life soon learns that IL pays
TO put on her best bib and tucker, and
make herself look as well as Providence
permits, when she has to deal with
men in a business way. This is Tot
because men are hirtatious. for the
American businessman is very seldom
that or sentimental in Office hours. but
he unconsciously adopts a different at
titude towards a pretty. well-gowned
woman, from that which he displays
towards an ugly woman in dowdy
clothes. Unconsciously, he succumbs
to the softening influence of youth,
and beauty. and grace. To one he is
all suavity and complaisance.. She
can sell him the life of somebody he
never heard of in seventeen volumes,
or get him to repaper the house she
has rented and put in exposed plumb
ing, or do any other thing within the
bounds of reason and gallantry, where
as he instinctively treats the other
woman whose appearance CRATES upon
his aesthetic sense with the brusque
directness he would show to another
nerves, to boot.
The place, however, where a wom-
ans good looks bring her in the heav-
lest dividends is just in the common
courtesies of life. Nobody ever looks
at a pretty woman like they do at ali
ugly one, or adopts the same manner
towards her The ugly woman has to
fight for her rights, If she gets them
at all. The pretty woman has all the
perquisites Of existence handed to her
on silver salVer. If a man gets up
and gives his seat on a crowded street
car to a homely woman, he does it
with the air of an early Christian mar
tyr, and looks as if he thought he ought
to have medal for doing his duty,
but the minute a pretty girl enters
car dozen men are on their feet,
and she might have half the car il
she chose. And it's the same way
throughout life. It's the pretty girl
in the family who gets the good clothes,
and reigns little queen, while the ugly
sister is foreordained Cinderella for
all eternity. No man married to a
pretty Wife treats her as the man does
the homely woman he has espoused.

things; The flesh may have dropped
away. or the muscles of the face may
have become weak, causing the cheeks
to sag. The remedy is the same in
either case.
Take the cold cream-for one must
never work upon the face without a
massage cream-and work ii into the
cheeks. Pinch them to wake them up
and set the muscles to working again.
Weak muscles are caused by lack of
exercise. Exercise the muscles of the
cheeks and they will grow strong
again.
Pinching the cheeks vigorously but
not hard enough to bruise them will
strengthen the muscles. You will soon
feel the muscles respond.
Lifting the flesh of the cheeks and
rubbing upward, using plenty of cold
cream, will also stimulate the muscles.
To fatten the cheeks there is a differ
ent course. The cream must be thick
er and heavier and it must be plump
ed into the face.
Heat the face by filing the hollows
of your hands with hot water and
holding them against the cheeks. Then
cover it with thick cold cream and
spat it into the skin.
Spat with the palm of the hand,
beating the hands now and then, I'M
til all the cream Is spatted In. Heating
the palms of the hand is very impor-
tant, for it assists the cream to work
into the face. There is no need of
trying to plump out the skin unless
one uses heat.
Dimples are supposed to be a legacy
of childhood. But in these days-wom-
en- are wearing them also. Women who
have lost their dimples are getting
them back. And it is not a difficult
job.
There is a specialist in London who
is putting dimples into the cheeks
of her patrons by a triple process.
She pumps out the cheeks. She
teaches her women to smile. Then,
when the smile is at its fulness, she
takes her finger tips and presses them
into the cheeks, selecting the dimple
spot. After a few weeks of this treat
ment the dimples begin to come.
People who massage away the wrin-
kle usually use a cream far too stiff.
Dump the contents of your cold cream
pot into a bowl. Set the bowl in a
basin of boiling water, and add enough
almond oil to make the cream very
thin. You will find that 1t acts much
better upon the face.
Have you ever tried to cultivate a
pleasing expression of the mouth? It
is hard at first, but 1t soon becomes
second habit. The woman who is al
ways whining will have a thin face,
with fabby cheeks and dropping mouth.
And she will look old.
But the cheerful young woman will
have round, hard cheeks, and a mouth
that is Cupid's bow. She will have
mouth that lifts at the corners and
smiles of its own accord.
And in each cheek she will have a
dimple.

at all hard to cultivate, and one which
every woman-whether she is the
mother of grown up family or not
can easily obtain.

CHOOSING BABY'S NAME.

If parents would realize the wrath
called down upon their heads in years
to come by their offspring who have
been blessed when too young to resent
it with the most hideous and incongru-
Gus names imaginable, those parents
would, indeed, hesitate, or perhaps
even wait until the child is old enough
to choose for itself.
Occasionally, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, an unusual name seems to suit
its owner. and often a quaint. old
fashioned little maid will be found to
be Patty, or a Hephzibah, or a Ma
tilda, and you never in the world would
have supposed her to be called any
thing else. This calls forth the fancy
that people, more or less unconsciously,
live I'D to their applications. This is
beyond doubt true in the choice of nick
names-the Harrys and Teds and Jacks
are all jolly fellows, while the Johns,
Henrys and Edwards prove plainly
that they were either too dignif1ed or
too reticent to make many intimate
friends.
But names in general certainly in
fiuence outsiders, whether the subject
is personally affected or not. plain,

WHY PRETTY GIRLS ARE
NOT BEST WIVES.

That there is a vast difference, says
the New York American, between the
general temperament of plain and
pretty girls is exemplifed by thousands
OF cases.
A pretty girl, no matter what good
fortune is hers in married life, seldom
If ever, thinks her lot might have been
worse. Her usual conviction is that
1t could easily have been better.
Then. perhaps, size sets to thinking
of Jack This or Tom So-and-So and
signs dejectedly. With so many low
ers to attend her court, what wonder
Is 1t that comparisons between her
present position and the might-have-
beens are somewhat invidious?
Now, a plain girl gives her mind to
something better. Her husband mar
ried her, not for the looks she might
possess, but for her disposition. Some
thing in her manner, or perhaps It
was her very naturalness, attracted
him with a passion that no pretty face
could give.
He sees in her his ideal, and he wor-
ships her for her little peculiarities
and tenderness. He doesn't return
home from business to find a magnif-
cent damsel and a chaotic ice box.
In n1nety-nine cases out of a hun
dred the care of a home to a pretty
girl is an irritating trial.
1t takes her some considerable time
to grasp the fact that her husband
married her, not for the sake of pos
sessing nonenity and paying dearly
for it. but to have partner who will
be the jewel of his household and the
love of his life. He wants her to be.
not needlessly extravagant, but to
give some thought to the responsible
ties of married life.
But what does the average pretty
woman think of extravagance? II is
seldom she thinks twice Of the conse-
quences before buying that upon
which her heart Is set, however I'M
necessary 1t is.
She always had what she required
before she was married, she will say,
so why go without now2 Quite so.
She was never denied before mar
riage, but it is poor logic to suppose
that what was necessary then is neces-
sary now.
A pretty girl invariably has every
wish gratified, almost without stint.
If she cannot supply that want her
SELF she will speedily discover those
who will. When, therefore, she is set
to control a home, extravagance 10 to

that pretty wives are much more ex-
pensive than those who are plain.

WONDERFUL CLUSTER
OF PEARLS.

The most extraordinary pearl-or
rather cluster of pearls-known as
THE Southern Cross''-is owned by a
syndicate Of Australian gentlemen,
who value 1t at $4,000. So far as is
known ii occupies an. absolutely
unique position. 1t consists of nine
pearls naturally grown together in so
regular a manner as to form perfect
Latin cross. The pearl was discover
ed by a pearl-fisher at Roebourne,
West Australia. The first owner re-
garded it with so much superstition
that he buried it, but it was discov-
cred in 1874 and FIVE years later was
nlaced on exhibition in Australia.
