A ZINE COMPLEXION.
Nothing Like Plentiful Use of a Good
Cold Cream for Imparting the
Desired Smoothness.

It is only a short time ago that a So
ciety of Partisan artists voted upon the
merits and dement's of their models
There were ~ models in the voting con-
test, which was TO be decided wholly
on the beauty of the complexion. The
majority of the votes were cast for q
certain model, mot because she was SO
beautiful" explained one OF the artists
to the writer, but because she has such
a classic complexion"
A classic complexion" by the way,
is one that is absolutely smooth. Eng
lish girls in their early youths have
classic skins. The skin is smooth and
has a ripe color. The skin of the Irish
girl is a little too fair. 1t is too pure
and too suggestive of vegetarian diet,
which is not very Strengthening. 1t
fades too early and plumpness is sue
ceeded by pudginess.
But the classic complexion endures.
1t is found most often in Italy and 1t is
engendered by the genial climate which
brings out the good points Of the com
p~lexion. You sweat out the impuri-
ties" explained a Virginia girl to a
friend more truthfully than POLITICALLY.
Of late years the American girl is re-
joicing in this skin, and on the street
of an afternoon among the best groomed
girls one will see a dozen or so with
this classic skin. 1t is not white, nor
brown, not pink, nor yellow. 1t is olive,
perfectly smooth, clear in color and it
looks as though nothing had ever dis
turbed it and never would.
1t is a dust proof complexion, a com
plexion which can stand the snow as
well as the rain. 1t is a complexion
through which the May winds and the
July sunshine cannot hope to break.
A professional model whose com
plexion is Of the classic type has this
to say about her smooth skin and its
treatment:
Il suppose | ought to say that | owe
my complexion to soap and water, but
to tell the actual truth, neither soap
, nor water agrees with my skin very we'll.
| l seldom wash my face, vulgar as this
may sound.
Il am accustomed to taking a cold
} bath every day, which is a matter Of
habit. 1t is good for some people and
bad for others, but it agrees perfectly
with me. l feel invigorated by it.
In the natural course of events, my
: face gets its dash of cold water, but
otherwise l do not wash it, except for
light steaming, which it gets once il
awhile, say once in ten days Or so.
AT night l cover my face thickl.

| then apply another thick coating o
cold cream and this | leave ON all night

. You cannot expect to have a smooth
young skin unless you use lots of col,
cream on your face. You must expert

hall three hours after his long after
interview with Miss Chiffon. and
the doctor came briskly forth from
his study to greet and welcome the dis
tinguished representative Of the war
ofiice-the son Of an old familiar
friend. There vas good news from
Yorktown, it seems, and small Pomp
brought 1t In with a little pitcher Of
cool buttermilk and some "cohn pone"
for Marse Benton-'De Yankees done
got licked agin down by yorktown"
"Marse lLounsberry" had so told the
doctor, and Fred went down to Jacks
room, his arm still slung, to wish him
goodnight and learn what he knew.
Rosalie departed and left them to each
other, and it happened that as the
doctor was ushering his martial Wis.,
itor from his study to the door full 15
minutes later, and long before Benton's
usual hour for retiring, the door to
Jacks room opened and the Yankee
lieutenant came forth, looking very
tall, erect and by no means broken
down.
The doctor gave a start-an unmis-
taxable glance of warning. A crouch

~nervously toward him. They were
duly forwarded to Richmond to be
censored. Was it there you saw them,
Maj. Lounsberry?"
"I had reference to possibilities, doc
tor, though l am not acquainted with
the lieutenant's left handwriting. 1t
| would be injudicious, for instance, not
to say %ungrateful to those who have
shielded him, were he to answer the
letter he found at the old side gate of
the garden, Monday evening""
There was nothing new in the

For the life of him as the sentence
closed he could not avoid shooting one
swift glance at the stairway to note
the effect of his words. The major
saw, turned and finding that from
where he stood the landing and stair
way were hidden from view, stepped
quickly forward. Benton instantly did
the same, and almost breast to breast
they met there in the middle OF the
room-the blue and the gray-the fire

Then came three days of rain. And

Jack Chilton's bodyguard came on duty
with blooming. rain-kissed cheeks.
Resale. secretly disturbed about her
captive, as the girls called him, pro-
fessed to think Mr.. Benton ought to
be glad to come downstairs and watch
Brother Jack being worshipped-it
ought to make any man better to see
how Virginia girls honor a Virginia
soldier stricken while battling for his
native state" Bull Run victims were
few and far between now-either We're
they dead or again on ~duty--and Vir-
ginia girls by the hundred were long
ing to lavish smiles and sweetness
and soothing potions, all in one, on
Virginia lads shot or sabered in their
defense. Time was soon, and far too
soon, to come when every house and
every room should be filled with the
sore stricken, and there could be no
where near enough girls to go around;
but just now, in April, Charlottesville
had but three wounded Southrons and
one ''Yank," and to the foremost OF
these Southrons all but a corps d'elite

one Of their number dare let another
know how gladly would her charity
have been ex~tended-even to him. Oh
course, however, that was merely
through curiosity.
No. Fred Benton was chatting, rest
less and unhappy, and. even now that
Paul was gone, again suffering the
pangs of jealousy. A tall confederate

CHAPTER IX.-coNrISuED.

For several days after his capture it
had been Benton's belief that Paul
was concealed in the o Rosalie de-
clared hers at the Henry house-the
room sacred to her stricken brother
and not until after their coming to
Charlottesville was he undeceiyed.
There, one afternoon, the week BE-
fore he went away, the young con-
federate was moved to refer to the
matter mainly by seeing that it was a
subject of which Benton fought shy.
Il had been with Miss Chiffon and
poor Jack some hours that morning."
said he, ''for the guard never came in
the front part of the house, but she
had ordered me to go and get some
sleep in the afternoon, it having been
fully determined that l should make
the attempt to escape that night. Ly-
ing there in a sort of cat nap toward
Ave o'clock, | heard the soldiers speak
your name and could not resist the
longing TO see you. Then when you
turned back l knew you had come to
search and had plenty of time to fiat
ten out between the joists and pull
my section of the floor over me. You
stamped on my nose with your spurred
boot-heel, Fred, and | never WINGED"
So that ghost was laid, at least as
far as Rosalie was concerned. But
how about the other-the far more
significant and now, mysterious freak
of clothing herself in Paul's uniform
and slipping through the darkness OF
night to the stone house? For whose
sake had she SO carefully disguised
yet recklessly exposed herself? MOI
ever her father had been told as yet
This April evening as he sat at the
window awaiting the doctors coming
to look at his arm before tca-time, his
eyes we're attracted by the sight of a
certain broad-brimmed drab felt hat
that he had noted more than once
before that day, passing along the
fence at the side of the house where
the hedge was thick and high. Now
Fred Benton saw distinctly much Of
the form and some of the face beneath
it, and face and form were those of {
young and slender girl. She lifted W
her eyes and looked full at the captive
Yankee; then stopped short, glanced
hastily about her; took from the bosom
of her gown a little white note; helt
it high that he should see it; turned
and walked back to the gateway. On
moment she held her note aloft again
then lowered her hand as though
working vigorously at the bricks, an
when a second time she uplifted tn
hand the note was gone. Another mo
ment and-so was she. Obviously
however, that girl wished him to mari
the spot, then come down and get tina
note.
Not until the following mornin
came there opportunity. Then, Will

Dor was listening to the chatter of tn

and, after brief search, hauled aside

What is believed to be the largest
white sapphire ever discovered was
lately taken to Berlin by NJ. Heppmer,
a German engineer, who has resided
for many years in Brazil, where he
possesses several mines. Before cut
ting the stone weighed 1850 karats,
but a flaw caused the cleavage of a
piece weighing 400 karats. This piece
will produce a cut stone of 100 karats,
That cut from the larger piece weighs
