French Beauty Seekers.

THE first of the ten French beauty
commandments IS: Have a clear skin.
no matter how dark Il may be, let It
be clear--as clear as wine, as clear as
crystal, as clear as a drop Of pure
honey. Let there be no freckles. no
liver spots, no blotches. Let your skin
be Of milky softness.
THE second beauty commandment
relates to the hands. Have beautiful
hands is strict command in the
French canons of beauty, Don't let
your hands grow old
Then in succession come these
laws:
Keep your teeth white.
Keep the wrinkles out Of your fore
head.
Keep your step light.
Keep your voice low and clear.
Keep your chin oval.
Keep your throat slender
There are other commands, and the
most important Is: Keep your eyes
bright Don't use them In the dim
light. Don't read while you rock.
Don't let the dust settle in them and
remain there overnight. Don't strain
your eyes, and don't try to clear them
by rubbing them.
Cry a little every day, II you must,
for women who cry easily always have
boautifr! eyes, but keep them bright,
anyway" Boston Herald.

Brave Sailors Grave |
Especial correspondence.)

Although thousands Of Americans
have visited Bermuda, that little ely
sum In the Atlantic, few Of them even
know that one Of the noble sons Of
their race lies buried in foreign soil,
so close to their own shores. And
now that the spirit Of reverence and
patriotism for the country's dead has
been awakened and that the body OF
Paul Jones has been removed to the
United States, efforts will perhaps be
made TO bring the remains Of Richard
Sutherland Dale TO America.
Far from the gaze of the casual
tourist, in a corner OF the churchyard
Of ST. Peters. the oldest ecclesiastical
edfce In the Bermudas, his grave may
be found. Neglected by the country
for whose honor he fought II is now
cared for by the descendants Of those
who succored him in his hour of need
and strove 10 relieve his distress.
And, who was Dale?" you ask. Here
is the simple story OF his life as told
by the memorial tablet over his
grave:

midshipman, but soon afterward was
taken prisoner by the British and sent

out for France, where he Joined Paul
Jones, who appointed him lieutenant.
During the famous engagement be-
tween the Scraps and the Bonhomme

to the rank OF captain, and later be-
