Suggestions for Treet of Pimples and Other Notes Concerning
 Improvement of Looks.

When pimples are in mild form try washing the face with sulphur soap at night. Scrub the face with the com plexion brush as much as you can with out irritating the pimples. Eat fruit and vegetables, exercise outdoors, take a cold bath every day and drink two half glassfuls of hot water in which one half teaspoonful of sulphate of soda is dissoNed-one an hour before break fast and the other half honr later.
 Eyelashes can be blackened by apply ing three times to their roots with a sable pencil the following: Twenty five grams gall nuts boiled one-half hour in 150 grams of water; strain; add five grams sulphate of iron. Boil away one third of this mixture. Bottle the dye.
 When using kerosene for the hair, rub it into the roots at night and shampoo the hair next morning.
 Cucumber cream: Four large cu- lcumbers cut into little squares, skin and all; six ounces sweet almond oil, warmed inside a double boiler; add the cucumbers to 1t when warm. Let them simmer together

VAUDEVILLE.

There is no need to say that the bill at the Jacques this week is worth more than ordinary attention from the lovers of polite variety. It would have to be an unspeakably bad bill not to be worth the admission fee but this is not the policy after which Manager Poli conducts his amuse- ment house. An effort is made to give the public the best show on the mar ket and the difference in cost is made up out of the profits not from scrimping on the quality of the ma terial offered. This weeks bill will be called an extraordinary one, for from headliner to opening act there is not a number which does not measure up to the Poli standard. "Creo," the creation of woman out of wood, plaster and cloth, is in itself worthy of unusual interest. The act is new. genuine novelty and a mar vel of the illusionist's act. It Is a real mystery and not pretext to win popularity by reason of its un- common name. "Creo' is a puzzle with the analysis of the keenest witted. George Hoey, Edith Crolius and Daniel F. Lawlor are the second big attraction of the bill. Anyone who wants to laugh until his sides ache, should sit through the sketch these clever players are offering and see how much genuine professional Ism can be crowded into 25 minutes. 'What's the Matter with Brown" is sketch of delight from curtain to curtain. The balance of the bill con tains such capable performers as Innes and Ryan, Ed Gray. Hayes and Suit. Mallory brothers, Brooks and Halliday. the Worlds Comedy Four and the Photograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10 cents.

VIOLA ALLEN.

Viola Allen will present Clyde Fitch's play. "The Toast of the Town" at Polfs Friday evening. As Mr Fitch does not permit that the stories of his dramas shall be told in advance. little or nothing regarding the theme or plot of the play Is known at this time. It has been stated. however. that ''The Toast of the Town relates tO the ca- reer of Betty Singleton. an actress who was supposedly famous during the rein of George the Third Betty, by the way. Is said to bear a strong re- semblance to Elizabeth Farren, who became the Countess of ROxbury. How much of the story of the famous Mss Farren has been welded into the play by Mir Fitch cannot, of course. De told The draua is said to be in four acts. and while called a comedy it Is a strikinEly dramatic story. When first announced the drama was said to be a modern society comedy. but the title itself should have been sufficient to have indicated the contrary. The Toast Of the Town" was a phrase that was used during the time of George the Third. whlch indicated a popular iavorite. but what happened to this enc related in Mr FIteh's play will not be known until the curtain goes up on October Q IL is a particularly fine cast that win appear with Miss Allen In the presentation of this play This much was to be expected ss Miss Al lens companies have always been of the hrSt quality. and the sane may safelv be said of the prOdueti0n- The cast Includes Isabel Irving Mrs Fan nie Addison Pitt.

Some Pretty Fall Millinery

The congregations predicted earlier in hats are not to be inflicted upon us this year after all. Of course there will be a few of the grand tall ladies that will appear in crowns of awesome height. and look very well In them, too: but the small woman and the av- craze woman need not feel 1t incum- bent to 20 about under chimney-pot affair. Hats are to be of medium size and medium height. The fall milli- nery. we are delighted to say, Is ex- tremely attractive rather than odd.
 To be sure we borrow a great deal from old fashions in this seasons mill linery, but from old fashions that were charming. What could be better with the drsssy costume than hat Ike the one in our illustration? It Is simple and yet it's full, graceful lines give 1t the air of belonging to the wardrobe of a dame of high degree. And we may pronounce this typical; the roll at one side. the fluffy plume enlarging the outline. Plumes of medium length are seen quite often( much better than the very long. ragged affairs that adorned (7) the so-called picture hat-whien, as worn by those that could afford only cheap limitations of grandeur, was the sorriest thing ever seen on the streets in the way of woman's oostuming; we rejoIcc its day is past.
 Yesterday we saw hat that looked as though It had been taken bodily from an old French picture book. and we stared at 1t through its glass case to make sure 1t was real. It was fiat, hut with a monstrous bandeau that would elevate 1t high above the ooif- fure: a black felt or silky beaver. and fiat about the brim. close up to the crown. was a wreath of flowers of deep mink shade, so constructed and placed they looked as though painted on the black. a very part of if.

All through the winter white will continue to be worn, of course for house dresses. Until very late in the fall, however, white lis seen on the city streets, people clinging lovingly to this almost universally becoming color, or lack of color. White serges abound, usually with long coat, and all the winter long the lingerie waist will exhibit its daintiness and snowi- ness. For the chilly person little un- derslips of silk will have to be pro- vided, but with very warm outside wrap the thin waist without lining will answer for many a woman.
 Colored underslips advance in favor, and when of color harmonizing with the suit, or of shale that contrasts prettily, they are charming. With a mahogany sirt and coat the slip worn under the sheer waist may be of pink silk, which will be toned down suffi- gently to appear but suggestion of rose, carrying out color scheme ac- cording to latest fashion.
 White tailored waists in the new fsll styles are on display, and my lady is eagerly studying patterns. They are as a rule trim and tailory, although we believe we shall have some frilled shirtwaists over here before the mid dle of the season. And we remember it was very pretty shirtwaist they wore years ago-when the shirtwaist made it's bow-with frill down each side of the front band. The stock was not at all fussy and the waist in gen. eral neat and plain, the only trimming the frills. They looked very pretty peeping from an open jacket, and gave a graceful fulness if the wearer had a figure little too slender.
 Recently we studied a waist designed to be worn with three-piece suit of brown, and liked 1t perhaps the best of any of the new models. The back fit ted easily, but did not blouse, the front was rather loose, the sleeves had a puff to the elbow, and the long cuff, which fitted perfectly, was fastened with small gilt buttons. The hat worn with this might we'll be one of the pretty new beavers, soft yet somewhat cu a stiff tricorne order, the only trim ming a plum extending from one side

Purple Fashionable.

The American women seem to be holding purple in its different shades in the balance. They are not quite sure whether or not to continue it as a fashionable tone. All other fashion able women have accepted 1t with en- thusiasm, and are making it more pop ulap than ever it was last winter, which is saying good deal.
