"Ring Out the Old, Ring In the
New"

Mayor Galley and the retiring mem
beers OF the city council stepped down
and out, Monday night, along with
Marshal Ellis and Nightwatch Tush
City Clerk Hamilton paid off the mem
bers of the council IN Bryan dollars
and the "boys" went out and treated
themselves.
Mayor Galley lives out on his farm, SC

elected mayor, J. Q. McAfee, and the
new councilmen, together with the mold

in by the clerk), when the arpointive
officers were agreed npon. Then the
doors were opened and the spectators
were allowed to enter the council cham
Der. | oi!owing are the appointments:
City clerk, T M. Hamilton.
City attorney, w. o. Knight.
City marshal. P. E. Kceney.

Art Durham was again placed in

The Eagal-Paindealer was designated

The mayor appointed Geo. Lacy over

following:

Gas committee; Chas. Wentz, chair
chairman.
With the exception OF city clerk, there
was not an old soldier appointed. and
we understand that some soreness is be-
ing exhibited by old soldiers
One thing is certain: the law relating
to the appointment OF officers was not
observed; but, in the main, the appoint
ments are good-but not all The ap.
o, iutments are made, however, and
will probably stand, unless the old SOL
ders decide to take hand and insist on
the observance of the law relating to
appointments. So far as this paper is
concerned, it shall make no kick SO long
as the officers do their duty Otherwise,
there is likely to be some vigorous kick
ing We don't owe the administration
ANYTHING, and we propose to have our
say it there's anything to be said
At this time, it appears to us that we
have a good set of officers, with only
one or two exceptions. and that the al
fairs Of the city will he well admins

What Makes a Perfect Hand.

Third. perfect hand must be perfect
In shape. The palm must be plump,
yet not pudgy. and the fingers must be
long and tapering toward the tips. The
finger cannot well be too long, nor too
tapering the longer and more pointed
the better as far as the hands are con-
cerned.
Fourth, a perfect hand must be grace
ful. The fingers must act Independently
Particularly should the third finger be
inclined to curl little. which is al
ways q good point in a hand. Compact,
heavy. solid fingers are never pretty.
Fifth, a perfec. hand should have a
very delicate wrist, not bony nor too
heavily veined The wrist should be
round and without the wrist or knuckle
bone.
In looking at the hand closely there
is g sixth point which must be noted
and this is the shape or the fingers
They should be round and not fiat. Most
women have fat fingers, as you notice,
when you are with them d while. And
the nails must be long and curved, not
round and sharp.
Seventh, the hand should be perfectly
kept. A hand that is not well kept can
not be beautiful 1t should be kept not
only very well indeed, but very intelli-
gently. Many beautiful hands are spoil
ed by the lack of intelligent care.
These points, according to Pierrot. are

Brighten the Office.

That is to say. her appearance will
make ak The difference in the general
color of her place of business.
If she appears at her desk on dull
morning with a bright cheery-looking
waist and a pretty stock, the gloom of
out of doors will be very largely dis
PEELED. The early hours IN the Office are
apt to be dull enough on rainy. wind
swept morning. but the sight of bright.
warm red or brown has a wonderful ef-
feet in dispelling dark lay microbes
For the woman who can afford it,
there are charming rainy-day styles in
short skirts and new raincoats of silk
rubber But every woman. no matter
what her income, can afford the contri-
button to her office Of ''antidote" cloth
ing to gloomy weather.
OF course no woman with any regard
for herself will wear skirts which are
frayed. no matter what the condition Of
the thermometer. A faded. shiny skirt,
too. is an unnecessary economy. In
deed, IL is no economy at all. for her
place of business more than anywhere
else is where TIC woman who works
mus, be seen at her neatest and best,
remel lbering that personal neatness
brings with it the idea of competency
always. The old short skirt" which is
worn at the seams and faded at the
hem had better be laid aside, therefore.
and one in good condition substituted
for rainy-day wear. AS a matter OF
fact. the idea that rain plays havoc
with skirt materials is erroneous to a
large degree.

In Sitting Posture.

Curiously enough. the tall girl cherish
es a singularly inappropriate affection
for small, low chairs, into which she
sinks with satisfaction But is the pic
ture she presents with her knees up to
her nose q satisfactory one? By no
means To cultivate the stately should
be her care; she should sit upright or
WITH only a soupcon Of abandon In
carved oak chair, or choose corner
Of the sofa. IL it be not a low one.
DiVans and footstcols she should
avoid like the plague; nor should she
sit on the floor. rs her fairy-like sister
may. with her hands clasped round her
knees-a very favorite attitude. unfor-
tunately, among giantesses.

tall women, either consciously or uncon-
sciously, constantly draw attention to
their height. They stand in doorways.
they take up Ii position by the tiniest

Giving Them a Nap.

Besides this the French woman feeds
her hands. She gives the skin it's proper
nourishment. And that is how she
keeps her hands nice when the hands
Of an American woman become dry and
hard, shapcless. spotted. red, and drawn,
and ugly
And now," said the French woman,
i am going 20 give my hands nap.
Every afternoon L encase them in a
pair of oiled gloves for an hour. They
are old kid gloves which have become
grease soaked from being on the hands
a great deal. They are soft and they
do the hands a world of good. Au re-
voir. And the next time you come
will give you material enough for
volume OF hand hints" And. with a
dainty wave of a fascinating hand. she
bade the American girl good-by.
In the French woman's talk there
were several lessons to be learned. And
the most important one was the general
care OF the hand. Women usually sup
pose that manicuring is the whole thing.
AS matter OF fact it plays only a small
part IN the appearance Of the hand. 1t
is something and it is necessary some
thing. but it is not all.
The woman who negiects her hand,
and who depends upon the manicure to
repair the ravages left by careless
treatment, will be disapc-ted. The
manicure shapes and polishes the nails
and bleaches the hand, but that is about
all she can do
1t is the woman herself who must rub
the emollient into the nails at night.
It Is the owner Of the hands-and the
owner only-who can apply a very light
carboliZed lotion once day. 1t is the
owner who can put on gloves and pro-
tect the hands from CRIME and dirt.
And it is the owner who can learn re-
pose of the hands. The manicure must
shape the nails to match the tips of the
fingers; the manicure may tint the
nails; the manicure may treat them TO
keep from showing white spots and
from cracking; and the manicure can
make up the little bleaching prepara-
tions which are so necessary. But the
owner Of the hands must be Intelligent
in her care of them or she will never

CHEEKY COLOPS TO BE WORN
TO DISpEL RAINY-DAY GLOOM

Wear your brightest blouse or shirt
waist when the day is dull and rainv,
for cheerful colors have a decided effect
upon the mind.
1t is a temptation to wear ones old
and dullest clothes in rainy weather,
but this idea is wrong, for on such days
We need around US all the brightness
which we can arrange.
Instead. therefore, of putting on the
dark-coIored frock and duh blouse, wear
the red shirt waist. the bright green, or
the one which is made up in the warm
brown shade so popular at present. Add
TO this smart stock, and your presence
IN the office will be CHEEKY note OF
color instead of continuance merely
of the out-of-dvor gloom. Everybody
nowadays breaches the doctrine of
cheeriness and the bright side of
things A good time to put into prac-
tical execution the tenets of this teach
ing is the rainy day. The business wo-
man especially has need to keep up the
