The Woman Who Worries.

A woman who never worries de-
clares that there is nothing more detri-
mental to beauty in woman than wor-
~. The worrying woman does nobody
any good. She simply invites the hand
of Time, which writes plenty of wrin-
kles on her brow, around her eyes and
mouth, paints her face a yellow and
gives a lack-luster eye that no artifice
can brighten.
1t is quite unnecessary to worry,
and it is a total waste of energy
which could be better employed in
doing something useful. The man
who wrote Ct must have been a mani

knew something. He had a wife. or q
sister. or cousin, or an aunt who
worried him by the hour, and so killed
him by inches. That is the worst of
a worrying woman. She not only wor-
ries, but she worries you.
You know a worrying woman the
moment you see her. Her character
is written in her face in wrinkles
which you would think nothing short
of a miracle would obliterate.
Downright ugliness is a heavy price
to have to pay for the possession of a
bad habit, but there it is. And NOT
only does worry directly influence the
complexion for evil; its more remote

When Man Leads the Way.


There is silly old rule which says,
Ladies must precede the gentlemen"
1t has just reached the point where
man must make trailer or jumping
jack of himself in order to observe
this rule. Many times VIXEN woman
should be allowed to meekly follow her
escort, she is pushed on to the front
There are cut and dried rules, rules
which men won't take the trouble to
remember as long as they think that
Ladies precede the gentlemen can be
applied to everything. But this old
rule cannot be applied to everything.
In fact it has so many exceptions that
Ii ought not to be applied, ofhand, to
anything. For a woman to be pushed
into a public place ahead of man.
not only makes her feel uncomfortably
conspicuous, but it gives a man the
feeling that he is being led about by
the nose.
The chances are that the woman will
twist herself into knot, turning about
for him. and that he will stumble
blindly over a yard or so of dress goods
trying to catch up with her and in de-
Gliding whether she is expecting him at
her right or at her left
At q private house the men stand
aside for the women to pass out of
the dining room. The same form is OBJ
served in passing into the room, unless
each woman has an escort In the pub
lie dining hall the man should precede
the woman, both when entering and
passing out. This allows the man to
select the table and to assist in seat
ing the woman comfortably.
A man is never at a greater disad-
vantage than in opening a heavy door
that swings from him. If he attempts
to allow the woman to precede him,
he either bursts his gloves exerting his
muscle against the door or the woman
gets bump from the door. The best
form is for him to precede the woman,
open the door wide and hold it thus un-
til she enters. If the door swings to-
ward him he opens the door, steps
aside and holds it until she has passed
through.
A man always passes from a street
car before a woman, though he follows
her on to a car. A man should precede
a woman down the aisle Of church or
theater, though he never precedes her
to seat. In mounting steps the man
should either walk beside the woman
or precede her.
When a man is in doubt as to wheth-
er he should precede or follow the
woman, let him adopt that plan which
will make the woman most comforta

CALIFORNIA COASTS GOODNESS
It IL Produced by a Strong Current
from the Antarctic Ocean.

1t IL Produced by a Strong Current
from the Antarctic Ocean.
A great scientific mystery Of the
Pacific Ocean has just beer solved, at
least theoretically. The experimental
verification will come later, or, per-
haps the new theory will be accepted
or rejected without other test than
that Of thorough discussion Of the
facts on which it rests.
The mystery in question relates to
the origin Of the immense current of
cool water which sweeps southwark
along our Pacific coast from Alaska to
Southern California, the antithesis in
relative temperature and in direction
to the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic
coast but mightier than the latter in
volume, and modifying the land eli
mates all along its course to q greater
extent, possibly, than any other known
ocean current. In short, this current
is one Of the greatest agents employed
by nature in producing the famous
climate of the Pacific coast. The mag
nificent forests of Washington and
Oregon and the rich orchards of Cali
fornia owe their existence largely to
the influence Of this vast river in the
sea, which flows swiftly by the shore,
tempering with its GOODNESS the arid
heats Of summe,, rolling in vast man.
ties Of fog which distribute moisture
like the gentlest rain, and mitigating
the severity Of the winter months with
its equalizing influence, because, while
the average temperature Of the water
is much below that Of the adjoining
land in the summer, it is considerably
above it in winter.
Nor is this all. Turning westward.
after skirting the shores of California.
the great current spreads out over the
center Of the Pacific, touching the
Hawaiian Islands, where again its
genial influence is benefcently felt,
with the result that those islands en-
joy more uniformly agreeable and
salubrious climate than any other land
lying in similar latitude.
Now, in a general way, aud with
out much critical examination, geog-
raphers and oceangraphers have hith-
erto assumed that this Pacific current
was an offshoot of, or complement to,
the northward-fowing Gulf Stream Of
Japan, the Kuro Siwo. This Rev. s.
q Bishop, widely known for his re-
searches on similar subjects, disputes;
and ne sets forth the very interesting
and surprising proposition that the
great current begins near the south
pole, from which it follows that all
the favored regions mentioned above
owe their felicitous climes to the trans
mitted GOODNESS of the illimitable ice
fields which border the Antarctic con-
tinent that GOODNESS having been
brought ten thousand miles under the
sea in order to reach their shores

effects are no less potent in robbing
the face of the peach-bloom tints which
are the admiration of the poet, the
painter and the general public. Worry
affects the entire nervous system, and
through it the liver and organs of d.
gestion and the heart. The things a
woman thinks have more than any
thing else the power to make or mar
her beauty; so let her beware Of wor-
rying over much, lest she lose the
greatest of all the gifts.

Health and beauty Hints.

Any one DESTROYS of sleeping sound
ly should go to bed without hunger
but also without having taken very
full meal.
Almond meal properly compounded
is as cleansing as soap and some
times is better for the skin Of the
face. Cucumber cream is excellent
for massage.
A pint of rosewater, diluted with a
tablespoonful of glycerin, forms an
excellent preservative for the hands,
and will keep them smooth and white
if applied each time after washing.
Sometimes the habit of waking at
an unreasonable hour is set up. The
best course is to rise, engage in some
work, and refrain from sleeping
even when tempted-until the ersu-
ing night. This will break the habit.

Hot Weather Shit.

Nowadays the summer wardrobe is
not complete without at least one
light linen or silk suit. These may
be dressy or severe according to their
use, but the woman who expects to
go about much during the summer
will need both.

the source of it. AS soon as you are

you an immense advantage, will great

Turned the Tables.

A well-known woman novelist tells
a good story which rather goes against
herself. While speaking at working
girls club she gave the members some
good advice, asking them how much
they earned and counseling them to
put by certain amount from their
weekly wages. A few nights later there
was a ring at the novelist's own door
bell and visitor was announced. It
was one of the members of the club,
who had come to inquire what the nov
elist's own income was in order that
she might advise her how much of it
to set aside. The novelist was, for
once, at a loss for words.

The dinner hour is the time when all
