How Women Defy Age.

1t is not true the woman growing old
must not wear black. 1t Is that she must
not wear all black. There are no pow
ders or cosmetics that have the power
to help the skin like a contrast. This is
n word hat the woman who begins
to fade wants to have written at the
top of her dress calendar.
1t is not necessary to give up the all
black hat, but let her wear it with the
white or nearly white dress or suit.
Again, let her wear the white lace hat
or the small dress hat with bright foil
age and flowers with her black gown.
To the salIow brunette the combina-
ton of navy blue cloth with cream trim
mings has been a rejuvenator always
and worth whole battaliOns Of beautih-
ers. To the same type the palest Of
pale grays with black hat and black
trimmings and white chiffons is a safe
screen behind which to hide complexion
ri defects. 1t Is the same with brilliant
red worn in small quantities with
cream and mode colors, where all red

power like that of the ventriloquist
which distracts attention from all de-
fects in such combinations or perhaps
II Is the mixed light" of the two colors
which, thrown together on the personal
color scheme, puts 1t out" entirely.
1t is this principle which has made
for the universal becomingness and
long staying of the white blouse worn
under the dark winter coat suit. 1t Is
one which can also be carried far bet
ter into evening gowns. Here, even
with the decolletage, all black Is not
safe where there are health defects.
and consequently bad ones Of color
also. To such a complexion the black
net gown made yer white lace or
chiffon Is a salvation, while all white
laces or silks are better relieved with a
touch Of Jet jewelry, turquoises or bril-
liant red flowers.

staggered to his feet, and. crawling a
few PAGES up the beach, flung himself
upon the ground and slept.
When he woke up 1t was past mid
day, and the sun poured it's full rays
upon him. His clothes were dry in all
places, save the side on which he had
been lying, and he rose to his feet re-
freshed by his long sleep. He scarcely
comprehended, as yet, his true position.
He had escaped, 1t was true, but not
for long. He was versed In the history
of escapes, and knew that a man alone
on that barren coast was face to face
with starvation or recapture. CHANGING
up at the sun. he wondered, indeed, how
it was that he had been free so long.
Then the coal sheds caught his eye, and
he understood that they were %untenant-
ed. This astonished him. and he began
to tremble with vague apprehension. En-
tering, he looked around, expecting ev-
cry moment to see some lurking consta-
Bile or armed soldier. Suddenly his
glance fell upon the loaves which lay
in the corner where the departing con-
victs had flung them the night before.
At such a moment, this discovery SEEM
ed like a direct revelation from heaven.
He would not have been surprised had
they disappeared. Had he lived in an
other age, he would have looked round
for the angel who had brought them

The tall gentleman with the sandy
side whiskers leaned Gro the drug
gist's counter.
"Can you oblige me with a lawst
years almanacY" he asked.
at guess So" the obliging druggist
replied. Then he rummaged around
and finally found what the m=s
wanted.
Thanks" said the stranger in a re-
lieved tone.
"And may / ask" the druggist be-
gan in his polite way, why you want
a last years almanac"
1.-The explanation is simple" replied
the stranger. C.There is a joke In last
years almanac that l meant to laugh
at this year-and now J find that I've
quite forgotten the point. Good day."
The druggist stared after his patron.
do you know that man?" he asked
a b~ystander.
II only know that he's English" the
bystander replied.-Cleve;and Plain

Chenille fringe is noted on many
white street gowns.
Smooth satin crowns as a feature
are marked on many Of the spring hats.
Braces of materials to match the
skirt are worn with the corslet skirt
over the lingerie blouse.
Leather certainly has become a fad
in Paris this season. To one tailor suit
with braid or velvet there are a hun
dred trimmed with leather.
There are many fashionable shades
at the moment, but none are in way
so pretty or SO popular as the different
tones OF pink and old rose.
Some very smart women use velve-
teen for their vests. While the effect
is rich, 1t Is not dainty, and is almost
too much of a good thing"
The girdle is part Of every costume
and must be considered when one is
considering the rest. There are all
kinds Of boas and all kinds Of slippers.
For morning wear smart little toques
Of fine straw or erin are trimmed with
a single stiff wing in front or to one
side and a bunch Of ribbon loops at the
back.
The palmer the short skirt, the
smarter it is thought to be. Rows of
machine stitching are always a good
finish in the plaids. checks or mixed
cheviots.
To those who can wear pink, brown
Is sure to be becoming, and there are
no smarter costumes this season than
the rose pink gowns worn with brown
caracul jackets.
A soft gray walking hat is turned
up on the left with a huge gray bird
whose bigness is almost grotesque
Most of the hats seem to be quite over
come by their trimmings.
Vests of soft red damage dotted with
black or white are very popular for
Coates that are worn half-opcn. The
vest is tight-ittirg and often for con-
venience is made with sleeves.
Embroidered sleeves add one more
rich touch to some of the new blouses.
The design Of the front Is repeated, in
a smaller way, upon the back. and
broken up and scattered all over the
sleeves.
There is little difference in the
clothes ordered for matron or maid.
Light colors and the most elaborate of
materials and models are chosen for
women with gray hair quite as often
as by young girls.
The smaller the waist the more tight
fitting the effect of coat or waist, the
smarter the costume is thought, and
the end and aim of every woman, be
she debutante or grandmother, is to
look youthful, especially as regards her
figure.

Flower-trlmmed hats are again fash
ionable this year, but there Is a new
way of wearing them-a ~coquettish
way. Empire and Directoire modes do
not go well with puritanical millinery,
so the newest millinery designs are built
to emphasize the general effect of the
gowns with which they are worn. This
little toqse has a crown Of corded chif-
fon finished with a double brim of pink
silk roses. There Is no touch of green
about the hat, the ribJon at the back
being long. full loops of deep rose vel
vet. y
The matter Of Lair dressing enters
largely into the question Of stylish
headgear, too, the new seasons models
calling for more or less elaborate Golf
fures. Both the high and low couture
Is modish, but those who can wear the
latter becomingly seem to prefer it.
With small hats, however, the high
headdress is more effective. Parted
hair Is also worn by women to whom
1t is becoming, but no of taste
will let her devotion to fashion carry
her beyond the point Of an attractive
couture. Hair ornaments are unusual
ly pretty this year. and the new combs,
barettes, etc, show striking departures
from the old conventional lines.

in fact it. will give out dye to such
good purpose hat the water in which
1t has been stepped Is sometimes used
to dyS cotton rugs, as 1t gives a very
good and quite fast lemon yellow.
1t follows. then, that IN weaving rugs
(Which must be washable) with orange
warp, the warp must be STEPPED in
warm water before using. 1t can be
used in that state, or it can be set with
alum, or it can be dipped in a thin In
digo dye and made into a good and fast
green.
The only recourse Of the domestic
weaver who wishes to establish her
rugs as Of the very best make is to dye
her W wraps. and this is not only ar
easy but a most interesting process.

A JouRNEYMAN BARBER.

This TonsOrialist Makes Good In
come Every Morning.
There's at least one barber in Wash
ington who doesn't have to keep his
ears turned to the word next" sar S
the New York Post.
This barber doesn't work in a shop,
nor has he any establishment OF his
own. Hes a peripatetic barber, and
he averages something like 81 or SIC
for foul hours work a day. wears dia-
monds, and is a perpetual mystery and
a source Of puzzled envy to the BARRIERS
with whom he formerly worked In no.
tel barber shops.
He is literally a j~ourneyman barber.
He carries the tools of his trade around
with him, suspended In a case from
the handle bars of a bicycle, and he
might easily be taken, to see him on
his rounds, for a rising young sur
geon.
He shaves men In their rOoms-men
but who are willing II Zig up q halt
dollar every day for the sake of max
ing their initial appearance about noon,
shaven, shorn, done up. and gro0med-
looking.
A considerable number Of his Gus
toners are army and navy officers Nv
ing at clubs, but he has also a clientele
of luxurious civilians. He starts out
on his rounds at 3 o'clock In the morn
ing, and by 10 O'Clock he has shaven
about ten men as they recline In their
coy beds. When he finds his earlier
customers asleep-s0me OF them are
prominent government officials, who
report at their offices at about 10
o'clock in the morning-he does not
wake them up, but goes ahead and
fathers and shayes them. and he says
that plenty of his customers don't
wake up at all while they're being
shaved. He says that in the course of
a couple Of weeks practice any man
may easily learn how to remain In the
land of Nod while being shaved.
When he finishes with his earlier
patrons he glides around among his
customers who dawdle In their rooms
In dressing gowns until about noon,
He has a regular hour for each patron
and always sticks to schedule time,
keeping none waiting. He gets hall
a dollar for a shave and 81 for a hair
cut. Those Of his patrons who want
hair-cuts notify him a couple Of days
in advance, SO that he can arrange his
schedule. By 1 o'clock In the after
moor this businesslike razor-wielder
has done all his days work, and then
you'll see him, a picture of grooming
and a sort Of glass of himself, stroll
ing on + street any fine afternoon
stalking the girls to a treat"

In order to attain the best results, in

care should be shown In the selection
and assortment Of materials used. 1t is

the striking effects in simple patterns

Having made tuberculosis his special

mime tailor suit is largely responsible
for the increase In this disease as we'll
as in rheumatic troubles during recent
years. Since the trig coat and skirt
have supplanted common-sense listers
for street year, he explains the major
ity Of women are never properly
clothed. In winter they wear suits of
almost the same weight as in summer
with. perhaps, the addition of an in
terlining and a fur scarf. The most
becoming waist to combine with the
tailor suit Is one of sheer white fabric
suited to the tropics. and this appears
In warm weather and cold alike. Elan

terferes with the trim line essential to
smartness In ~present-day apparel. A
silk skirt and a few garments of cob
webby texture supplant the substantial
underwear Of preceding decades. When
you add to these facts, he says, the
vogue introduced by the short walking
skirt, low shoes and openwork stock
ings for outdoor wear all the year
round the ever-growing percentages of
lung troubles and rheumatic com
plants is not to be wondered at.
