BEAUTY, THE NAGRANT.

One of those New York beauty
more apt to describe him, a surgical
dermatologist-is in trouble. a Wo-
man comes to the fore, woman Of
nerve sunk in homeliness, admitting TO
the world rot only the fact that she
is ugly but that she would like to be
beautiful She admits that to save
her face from it's traditional and here
ditary sign posts, she visited the beau
ty doctor and gave him of her com
that she might be beautiful. And now!
and we can almost hear the falsetto
scream of the compIaint-now, 1t Is
even worse Witness the face.
Of course the average beauty doc
tor is a fraud. Beauty is thing OF
the ages lit in spot. 1t may be eye
lashes, it may be the tip of a pug
nose, the twist of a strand of hair
nesting against a small pink ear. the
curve of a cheek or the contour of an
arm Most generally, of course. it lies
in a mouth or shines from any sort
CO1OTSu anu SOIIlclIIIlSS II
vaunts itself with d hidden dimple OF
the elbow Beauty, like most other
things is a Trinity, swinging through
space and time to fruition-a man
and maid and the Moment! What
has a beauty doctor got to do with it ?
There is only one beauty doctor and
bv consent he is known as the eternal
feminine, always enchanting, prolific
promising Moon. And DR.. Moon
in the summer time. can make en-
all beautiful for the time being, sc
they be dressed in white!
Wherefore, it seems hard to divine
on Just what legal ground or common
sense logic. the plaintiff in this case
against the beauty doctor can make
out a case. True, in a sense, he opef'
ates on credulity, but he promises the
manifestly impossible. And who is &c
judge? Because her particular Char
ley-doubtless having already found
his beauty elSewhere,-doesn not APP
prove, is no reason why the plaintiff
may not yet be beautiful. Who is t.

say? Manlfestly it would be unfair tt
| ed damages and then shine as e
Cleopatra to some cross-eyed swain
who would dissipate the judgment in
drink. The best any beauty doctor
can promise to do is to change the
style. What might suit John would
drive William to a sanitarium. One
man wants a black broWed Juno; an
other a blonde Circe. 1t is the most
variable of quantities-this beauty
and all women have it-for some one,
if they but hearten them to the quest,
whether they be built after the fashion
of hogs-head or a willow, the tower
of Pisa or the squat of Moslem mos
que!
We cannot sympathise with this
plaintiff and yet we do truly admire
her. Hers must be a face strung
with the wet and Shiny locks of the
Medusae, she must have a grin like
that of the Man who Laughs a he2 d
like Quasimodo and the fingers of the
Witches round the cauldron. What
other woman in history ever so far
admitted that she was plain as to put
her face into the evidence as proof.
We suspect here a snare, the adVer-
tisement of an actress, the ambition
of a village beauty for pictures in
the papers. We would not be sur,
prised if the vision that greets the
jury in this action against the doctor
turns out to be of an oval like that
of Psyche at the pool with lily skin
flushed with the first pale pinks OF
dawn and lustrous eyes such as dis
tinguish the youthful widows of those
trebly unfortunate men who die in
railroad wrecks and whose admins
tratrixes sue for judgment which are
speedily converted into doweries And
if the face be really ugly, there will
be at the best a conflict in the jury
box which we opine will prove ire
concilable. One half will say that
such a face would never have been
hurt anyway, another section will aver
that there has been an Improvement
and the twelfth man will probably
swear by the doctor, insist on a verdict
of heavy damages and send proposal
to the victim. Nobody, not even the
Judge, can judge of beauty, and it has
no place in a court anyway as tend
ing always TO discomfort the orderly
administration of justice.
Beauty is a mixed quantity as well
as a doubtful blessing, unless we want
it for ourselves. and it is about to get
away. At any rate it needs jury OF
but one man to pass on its merits
Else is there trouble sure enough.

RIGHT KIND OF IMMIGRATION

During the past year the Norfolk q
Western Railway, through its agricuI-
tural and industrial department, i'll
charge of Mr.. f. H. LaBaume, has
succeeded in settling in Virginia more
than 400 farmers from the North and
West That's the best character of
immigration. 1t is the sort that comes
to build up homes The people do not
20 in great colonies and do not import
a different creed and alien tastes and
views They retain their religion and
politics. and mingle with the people
among whom they settle as neighbors
and friends, respecting differences and
receiving respectful consideration for
their views North Carolina has not
few such immigrants, but you would
not recognize them as immigrants.
They are as much a part of the life
Of the community as if they had been
born on the soil, and they are joining
with the native born in developing the
State
OF course it is harder to get such
immigrants than to secure the dump
ing of carload of fresh arrivals who
know nothing Of our institutions or
traditions. The best things do not fall
into the lap. You have TO toll to ger
what you esteem most. Some of the
railroads in North Carolina have
helped in obtaining the sort of immi
grants that the Norfolk and Western
Railroad has brought to Virginia. 1t
would pay them all to cooperate in
securing to this State a large and
steady influx of immigrants of this
most desirable class.

EDITORS ON TOP.

Georgia and Virginia editors are
having their time of trial, both trou-
bles growing out of politics.
In Georgia, d legislator, rising to a
question of personal privilege be-
cause Editor Gray, of the Journal,
criticized the free pass brigade in the
Legislature, severely scored the edi-
tor. whereupon. the editor attacked
the law-maker, who was armed with
a pistol and knife. An associate edi-
tor disarmed the legislator and the
editor came out on top.
In Virginia, Mr.. A. B. Williams
gave his check during the city cam
paign to worker to work for Mr.. Will
liams' favorite candidate for Prose-
cutting Attorney. 1t turns out that
the law in Virginia makes such expen-
diture of money a crime and the
grand jury is investigating it and
Editor Williams may have to meet an
indictment. AS soon as the matter
was noted he made a frank public
statement that because of his friend
snip for a certain candidate he had
given twenty-five dollars to a party
worker to do all he could for his
friend. The candidate knew nothing
of it and MIR. Williams had no purpose
except to advance the interests of a
personal friend who stood for public
measures he approved. He expected
the money to be used legitimately to
pay for the services of men at the
polls. His frank statement has shown
that he had no motive that was wrong
and the public feel that he has not
morally committed any crime. At the
same time, while money paid workers
is sometimes legitimately used, it
should be prohibited by law because
it may be used by bad men as a
cloak for the dishonest use of money.

a New York man is suing his dress
maker for damages based on >cu-
rious claim. 1t seems that the plain
tiff was to be married on a day certain
and was to furnish both the wedding
feast and the wedding gowns. He or
dered the latter from the defendant
with notice as to the Importance of
their delivery to the bride-to-be. The
cate came and the groom ordered wine
and cake and fancy ginger bread. The
feast was there but not the dress. And
the bride, without her dress, would
not appear and when the dresses
came, she thought better of the en-
tire matrimonial project. Wherefore
the disappointed groom claimed dam
ages in the amount of the costs of the
; supper and the gowns. The plaintiff
will recover nothing and the groom
should learn that the only business a
man has with calico is to admire it
after it is made and fitted to his own.
