The state labor bureau is meeting
with great success in its campaign
against child labor, and is having bet
ter cooperation from school authorities
than before. A new plan has been
adopted for the protection of employees.
With every permit there must be an af-
fidavit from father and mother stating
the age of the child. 1t has often hap
pened that children have gotten work,
representing themselves as over sixteen,
and later, when hurt in the factory,
have sued under the law which makes
employers liable for injuries to children
under sixteen The affidavits remove
such a possibility.

CHUNKS OF GRAY MATTER

Taking Care of the Chin.

The word massage Is used in a gen
eral way for all manipula.ions OF the
face. But. as a matter of fact. the
chin should not be treated entirely by
massage. 1t should be pinched and
made rosy. This is to keep the circula-
ton good. And it should be steamed.
The chin is liable to that great afflic-
ton known as blackheads, and unless #
be steamed now and then they are
pretty sure to gather upon the surface
Sometimes they are go thick that tho
skin appears to be peppered with them
The blackheads are ugly and they de-
stroy the last vestige Of good looks
The matter OF blackheads or. as they
say, in South America, pepper in the
skin, IS one that can always be con
trolled The pepper can be taken out Of
the skin by going over It with very hot
water until the pores are open. The
skin is then covered with a good skin
food and is allowed to grow soft. Then
the whole is washed in very hot water.
The result IS that the skin is clear and
pretty.
The shape of the chin is q great deal
If you want your chin to grow double,
all right. But 1t will not be pretty any
longer. Tight collars and high stocks
make double chins and so does induI-
gence in eating. The woman who eats
more than her stimach Graves will be
very sure to be rewarded by a chin
so double that she can feel it with her
finger tips without looking in The glass
for confirmation.
The very double chin Is one of IN
greatest blemishes the Castillian beau
ties have to fight. In America II IS
bad, but there are nations where the
affection of the double chin becomes so
pronounced as to be calamity.

Smiles an Indispensable Virtue.

Smiles, in fact. play one of the most
important parts in feminine attractive
ness Cheerfulness is an indispensable
minor virtue. There is occasionally a
certain sweet sadness which. in widows
or sentimental women, may be effective
with some men. but with the ordinary
masculine creature a cheerful bright
faced woman IS like a ray of sunshine
on dark day. Men do not like to hear
of the cares and sorrows of their femi-
nine friends. They have enough troubles
of their own in the stress of business
life, and when, after business hours
they call on a girl or go home to their
wives they are looking for something
soothing Nowadays men war. nothing
but comic opera, tragedy is out Of
faShlon. ard the woman with a hidden
sorrow and tear-dimmed eyes is az s dead
as the old-fashioned heroine who went
and suffered from the beginning of tbe
hrst act to the close of the third.

FEflININE GRACES TINT ALWAYS CApTNATE

Men, like truth, are stranger than
fction-to the woman who doesn't un-
derstand them. Since Eve first tested
Adam, the greatest study OF woman
kind has been Man. She has studied
his tastes and his appetite, his desires
and his digestion. She has worked her
fingers to the bone to please him, skin
ned herself alive to be beautiful IN his
eyes, and spent the fortunes OF her fore
fathers in dressing to attract him Yet
even to this day there are those Of her
who have not found out what 1t is that
constitutes the secret of a woman's fas-
cfnation for q man.
There are pretty-faced girls who boast
all the virtues Of heaven that stand by
tial butterflies fit away with the best of
the seasons catch, while the virtuous
ones hang Imply to the family tree,
finally to become sour old maids, who
go about declaring that 'men do not un-
derstand women" OF course they don't;
II they did women would no longer In
terest them any more than a Chinese
puzzle once solved
But the vain and selfish woman does
not carry off the palm, dear spinster,
because Of her faults. but In spite Of
them. Those faults may be as deep and
unconquerable as the blue sea, but If
they are covered by superficial layer
of the right virtues, the virtues upon
which every man lays stress, he will
not see them until too late. and he may
never see them at all. On the ether
hand, girl may be an angel OF self
sacrifice, a pattern OF truth and honor,
and a good cook and a beauty into the
bargain without ever attracting a single
masculine admirer. For 1t Is neither no
bility nor generosity, capability nor
cleverness which men admire in women;
1t Is whole host of little virtues, the
cultivation Of which one may have over
looked while she was praying TO be good
and learning to make pudding and beef
stew.

that look better with the chin slightly
inclined to one side.
Study the contour of your chin If It
is very short, far too short for beauty,
by all means keep it ducked forward
Or. in other words. keep it low: keep it
depressed in your collar. But this is
one chin in a hundred thousand: and it
is not at all likely that you have such
a small chin that It is necessary TO do
this.
The very long chin should always be
carried high It will not look so long;
and the same with the big, stout chin
The ideal pretty chin, the chin of the
perfect woman. should be carried in
Gibsonian way. This means that IL
should be carried majestically. Don't
carry your chin as though you were
ashamed OF it. Lift it high and carry
your head proudly Queens never carry
the chin low. Hold your head high and
your chin will take care Of itself" was
the advice given TO g. woman with a
homely chin But this might advan-
tageously be changed to the admoni-
ton: Hold your chin high and your
head will take care OF ITSELF
The skin Of the chin should be very
clear. Do you remember the butter
cups in the meadow and how a butter
cup was held under your chin with the
query; DO you like buttsr?" Il the
skin was clear, 1t became as yellow as
butter. rejecting the buttercup. Try to
have a skin so clear that you can sea
a buttercup IN It and you viii be pretty
sure to have added one point in your
favor in beauty's race.
To have the prettiest chin In the world
ts certainly something OF which to be
proud, and the girl with the prettiest
chin, though a modest girl, admits that
she would not trade it off for the best
diamond she ever saw.

ten without exhausting the subject Of
dimples. They have played a great part
In history and they have played a great
part in poetry. no library would hold
an the stanzas that have been devoted
TO the diInple.
Once upon a time a cleft IN the chin
was considered a misfortune. Dut that
day has long since passed and in these
times you see women going to the beauty
specialists TO get a dinple made. The
making OF a dimple is not difficult nor
a dangerous matter. The skin IS slit and
a muscle is cut. That is theoretically ALL
But, of course, there must be o little
scientific work to get the dimple In the
right place and TO cut the proper muscle
Otherwise the result might simply be a
deep, irregular scar.
Dimples are made every day by der
matologists, in the chin of beauty, and
per cent more dirnples than there used
TO be, for they now grow mtraculously
IN day in the chin or in the shoulder,
in the cheeks or IN the kr2ck1es. But it
is well to experiment slowly, for In the
hands OF an awkward surgeon the dim
ple-making might not be successful.
1t is said that one can make q diGlple
by pressing sharp instrument into the
chin repeatedly And by keeping at it
until there is a depression that viii
not come out. But it is slow work and
might make the chin very sore. Better
to have the dimple made by profes-
sionaI and all at once.
The girl with the prettiest chin in the
world knows exactly how to hold her

great deal-in holding the chin right.

The man OF the house smoothed tho
