Some days ago the sisters had their
first open quarrel about the young
man. The next morning they left the
house together at daylight. Carmen

"Once it was difficult almost tmpos- sible, for girl of breeding to have a career" said Juliet Wilhor Tompkns in Success Magazine. Think of poor Jane Austen dropping her white sewing hastily over her writing when a guest came in that she might not be called ungenteel. And 1t is only fifty. seven years since Elizabeth Blackwell. ap- plying for permission to win medical diploma, was refused by dozen col leges, one of which added to its re fusal the interesting statement that it would be unbecoming and immoral to see a woman instructed in the nature and laws of her organism Now. in the United States alone, there are seven medical colleges for women besides the mems colleges to which they are admit ted. over 7.Go0 are practicing physicians and surgeons. and the theories for and against such things are being forgot ten in the light of their actual work.

TOILET TIPS.

Be careful to use only the mildest blandest, purest, unscented soaps when bathing.
 Rose water, eight ounces, and tine ture of benzoin, two drams, make one of the best skin tonics and whiteners.
 The orange stick is the only nail cleaner necessary. The stick properly pointed will not injure the enamel or the cuticle around the nail.
 To have the best possible effect from face creams the surface of the skin must be thoroughly dry. Any moisture will prevent the pores from absorbing the cream.
 A 3 per cent solution of boracic acid is Invaluable as bath for tired eyes. It is also exceedingly effective to use as bath for the face if the skin has become muddy.
 Improper bathing-that is, bathing that is only half portion of a clean ing-will cause the complexion to be- come muddy and yellow, just as i'm proper and partial laundering will ruin a fine piece of linen.

THE SIMPLE HOUSE.
How 1t May Be Achieved In an Easy.
 Natural Way.

The simple house must not only be simple, but it must be good. It's sim plicity is not that of mere baroness That is something quite different. Sim plicity ill house design does not mean mere denuding of ornament or it's de liberate omission. 1t means that the house must be designed in q simple way that is also beautiful. Simplicity of design is based on structural devel- opment. In the hands of the skilled de signer these structural lines become also lines of beauty. The construction. therefore, becomes beautiful construc tion. and the simple house is achieved in a natural. beautiful way
 Fairness, severity, commonplace ness, barrenness, must not be confused with simplicity. There must be artis- tic effort or the house will be com pletely wanting in external merit A fussy house will not necessarily be made beautiful by stripping it of it's ornament. It may be bettered-at least it will be rid of unnecessary parts. The evil is more deeply rooted than that It lies in the very bone and sinew of the house, and the remedy, if there can be remedy, must be applied to the whole structure
 Mere plainness in house building has no positive qualities of excellence A house that is merely plain and with no other quality has nothing else to rec ommend it. The simple house, on the other hand, has beauty in its simplici- ty, beauty due to it's fine lines and to the harmony of all the parts.- American Homes and Gardens.

INDIAN GIRL GIVEN AID.
New UIm Authorities Hear Strange
 Appeal and Render Help.

New Ulm, Minn.. March 26.-De- pendent on the charity of the people whom her forebears sought to maSsa- ere more than forty years ago, is the remarkable situation of Irene Baker, a young half-bood Indian girl who has just been sent 10 St. Alexander hos pital here as a Brown county charge.
 The girl who reached New Ulm 2 few days ago. absolutely destitute and without a friend, says that she is in search of relatives. She is of Indian descent. her father being a fullblood and her mother of French lineage. They formerly lived in Virginia where her parents died and left her renniless.
 By hard work she succeeded in sav- ing enough money to pay her way to New Ulm. but after reaching here she was unable to find persons having any recollection of her parents when they were residents of the place, as she claims they were, before the uprising of 1862
 After exhausting her funds she was compelled to appeal to the Brown county official for aid and they se cured her admission to the hospital. She is of the opinion that she is en- titled to money from the government for property rights in the Cherokee reservation, and an effort will be made to establish her claim.
