a FINE COMPLEXION.
Nothing Like Plentiful Use of a Good
Cold Cream for Inaparting the
Desired smoothness.

It is only a short time ago that So
eiety Of Partisan artists voted upon the
merits and dement's of their models.
There were Y 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 a
certain model, mot because she was so
beautiful explained one of the artists
to the writer, hut because she has such
classic complexion
A classic complexion, I" by the way,
IS one that is absolutely smooth. Eng
1ish girls in their early youths have
classic skins. The skin is smooth and
has a ripe color The skin q the Irish
girl is a little too fair. ct 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 endurss-

plexion You sweat out the impuri-
ties, explained Virginia girl to
friend more truthfgily than poetically.
Of late years the American girl is re-
joieing in this skin, and on the street
of an afternoon among the best groomed
girls one will see dozen or SO with
this classic skin. It 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.
It is dust proof complexion, a com
plexion which can stand the snow as
well as the rain. It is 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 I 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 well.
seldom wash my face, vulgar as this
may sound.
Il am accustomed to taking a cold
bath every day, which is matter of
habit 1t is good for some people and
bad for others, but it agrees perfectly
with me. I feel inYigorated by It,
IN the natural course of events, my
face gets its dash of cold water, but
otherwise 1 do not wash it, except for a
light steaming. which q gets once in
awhile, say once in ten days or SO.
AT night | cover my face thickIy
with cold cream. | put it on in great
layers. / let it remain On for a few min
utes and then remove it with soft cloth.
then apply another thick coating of
cold cream and this leave on all night
It seems to sink into the pores and to
i supply the moisture which has been
taken out of it during the day.
You cannot expect to have smooth
young skin unless you use lots Of cold
cream on your face. You must expert
ment uusil you find the right kind OF
cold cream to use. If glycerin hurts
your skin, do not use it. # you cannot
stand rose water and alcohol, why, it
is best to omit them. Discover the kind
of cream you can use and stick to it.
That is the way did.

A FEW FASHION NOTES.
Soft Kid Waistcoats Remain in Fa-
vor and Velvet Collars and
Cuffs Again Return.

In making pIaits Of any kind for trim
ming, the fact should be borne in mind
that it is good policy to leave the bast-=
ings in the p1aits until the garment is
entirely finished Many home dress
makers are in too big hurry to take
out basting threads. In buying ready
made box plated or plated skirt,
it will be noticed that when it
reaches home the garment still
has the plaits stitched down
with hastings. and that ought to
be hint enough to induce the amateur
to leave her hastings in place till she is
almost ready to wear the garment. OF
course, this does not apply in the case of
hastings for seams or hens, but just for
those which are put to hold certain
things in place and which can just as
well remain in the garment till such
time as. it is completed. Plaits in waists,
especially sleeves, can be left in, though
the temptation is strong in the amateur
to remove them and see how it looks.
But the exercise of a little patience in
this respect means added eomeliness to
the completed garment.
The soft kid Waisteoat is as popular
as ever. 1t is generally made double
breasted, and cut away to take in a
chemisette of plated muslin and YaIen-
cfennes lace, or one of coarse lace and
perhaps rolled collar Of some eolored
velvet. A touch Of velvet is always a
welcome finish to a cloth frock, and on
a plain sleeve buttoning tightly down to
the wrist we often note small, turned
back cuff of velvet to match the rolled
collar Of velvet at the neck of the habit
bodice.
The changes that have been made in
tailor mades are not SO great as those
that have been made in other branches
of dress, because for some time past the
pioneers in the sartorial world have de-
termined that the tailor made frock
should be plain in cut, with sleeves of
small, neat dimensions, and the note
of elaboration is. struck by braidings and
similar trimmings.

FIGURE IN HISTORY
Marx Twain Says Joan Of Ars
Stands Alone in Story OF
World.

In Harper's Magazine for December
Mark Twain, who has recently made 8
thorough study Of the original docu-
ments bearing on the life of Joan Of Arc,
pays a wonderful tribute to this slight
girl. whom he calls by far the most ex-
traordinary person the human race has
ever produced:
ssA1l the rules fail in this girls case.
In the world s history she stands alone
quite alone. Others have been great in
their first public exhibitions of general
ship, valor, legal talent, diplomacy, for
titude; but always their previous years
and associations had been in larger
these things. There have been no ex-
ceptions to the rule. But joan was COM
petent in a law case at LIS without ever
having seen a law book or courthouse
before. she had no training in soldier
ship and no associations with it, yet
she was competent general in her first
campaign, she was brave In her first
battle, yet her courage had had no edu-
cation-not even the education which q
boys courage gets from neyer-ceasing
reminders that it is not permissible in a
boy to be a coward, but only IN girl:
friendless, alone, ignorant, in the bosom
of her youth, she sat week after week 8
prisoner in chains, before her assem-
blage Of Judges, enemies hunting her to
her death. the ablest minds OF France.
and answered them out of an untaught
wisdom which oyermatehed their learn
ing. bafied Their tricks and treaeheries
with a native sagacity which compelled
their wonder. and scored every day a
victory against these incredible odds
and camped unchallenged on the field.
In the history of the human intellect,
unframed, inexperienced, and using
only It's birthright equipment of untried
capacity, there is nothing which APP
proaches this. Joan Of Arc stands alone.
and must continue to stand alone, by
reason Of the unfelloWed fact that in the
things wherein she was great She was SO

preparatory teaching, practice Or en-.

WAR IS NOW LESS DEADLY
Modern Ordnance Greatly Discour-
ages the Hand-to-Hand
Encounter.

As we gradually approach our
own time we shall find not only
that the proportion of those ac-
tually slain in battle to the num-
Der of those who are wounded
shows asensibled decrease, but that
the total casualty lists are actual
ly smaller in proportion to the
numbers engaged, in spite of the
fact that the weapons of war are
always described as growing
more and more deadly, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. In the cam
paigns of Marlborough there was
still much hand-to- hand fighting,
for, although artillery had taken
its place in the battlefield, the in
fantry firearms was possessed of
little range or accuracy. Accord

quet, two Of the most bloody
struggles of later times, although
the slain show a decreasing ratio,

were in the former engagement
$4,000 killed, wounded and pris-
oners, while the cost of driving the
French from a strong position at
MalpIaquet was 10000 killed and
wounded out of a force of about
10000.
Although in the modern armies
of more modern time losses have
reached in many instances a high
figure, yet the percentage of
slaughter, especially of killed to
wounded combatants, has shown
a remarkable decrease from the
horrible figures Of ancient battles
and sieges, before the discovery of
gunpowder and of the increasing
perfection of firearms--paradox-
ioal as it may appear-began to
diminish the butchery which in
variably attended the encounter
Of armed hosts in olden times.
The explanation is that fighting
is now carried on at such a dis
tance and in separate bodies of
infinitely greater maneuvering

vantage becomes instantly obvi-

GOOD SPIRITS

Good spirits don't all come from
Kentucky. Their main source is
the liver-and all the fine spirits
ever made in the Blue Grass State
could not remedy bad liver or the
hundred-and-oneil ill effects it pro-
duces. You can't have good
spirits and a bad liver at the same
time. Your liver must be in fine
condition if you would feel buoy
ant, happy and hopeful, bright Of
eye, light of step, vigorous and sue
cessful in your pursuits. You can
put your liver in fine condition by
using Green's August Flower the
greatest of all medicines for the
liver and stomach and a certain
cure for dyspepsia or indigestion.
1t has been a favorite household
remedy for over thirty-6ve years.
Flower will make your
liver healthy and active and thus
insure you a liberal supply of
good spirits. Trial size, 25cts.
