HEALTH AND GOOD LOOKS.
Good Blood Is the Great Beautifier
and Fresh Air Most Impor-
tant in Making It.

| Good health Is positive necessity
to good looks. Beauty is thing that
shines through the face, and is not on
the surface. II you lack color. which
is the chief point OF beauty. and put 1t
on, no matter how skillfully and dain-
tily, there is yet the surrounding flesh,
minus the flesh tints.
How often do we see women wear
ing little color on their cheeks when
the rest Of the face shows that un-
healthy lack OF color, and so the effect
Is neither pretty nor pleasing. The
healthy tinge must come from within.
and the blood must be healthy and
good to give the redness, and the skin
must be healthy and clean to give the
proper chance for the health to shine
through. On the same principle, that
to have good light, you must have
clean, clear windows.
Another feature of woman's beauty
is her hair. This will look lifeless and
dull and no vitality, unless the roots
are well fed and nourished properly.
This nourishment comes from the
blood, SO that to have pretty hair it is
necessary for the blood to be in good
condition.
The color of woman's eyes she
cannot help; the expression in them
she can help, and the expression has
much to do with her looks. .Uncom-
Portable clothes, tight shoes or cor
sets, worries, an ugly disposition, all
tend to spoil the expression of wom-
ans eyes. Also rundown vitality
will dull naturally bright eye; hence
again the beauty comes from within.
Good-looking teeth, firm, white and
clean, another important factor for
beauty, are dependent, of course, large
ly on external care, but they get their
life from the roots nourishment, SO 1t
is important that they are fed by
healthy blood. So 1t is that after all,
the blood is the chief promoter Of
health and beauty. What makes
healthy blood? How to keep it so aft
er you get it?
The most important thing is clean
air, as that Is one of the chief things
of the blood's diet. In the savage
state, when humankind slept out Of
doors, in the forest, they were physic-
ally more perfect, healthier and con-
sequently better looking than civiliza-
ton can make them, even with beau
ty doctors" and all the other means
Of artificial aid to improve woman's
looks.

be secrets about people OF good char
acter and reputation. But II there are,
let those who possess them lock them
In their own breasts.
Il could tell you, IL chose" said a
garrulous old lady. "some things about
the grandfather Of certain family In
town. things that would make your
hair rise with horror"
Why should she? Why should any
body listen? Her tales might be true
or they might be false. Why should
anyone spend time in gossip that is
purely malicious?
Stories about people are like snow
balls that gather size and weight as
they roll along Should story begin
at one end of the street and be told
from houses to house along the length
of the village. by the time 1t reached
the outlying suburb 1t would be es-
sentially different from the original
version.
In at of anger or caprice a man
may make a foolish threat. BY the
time that 20 people have repeated 1t, it
has assumed proportions of astonish-
ing magnitude. Secrets are equally
prone to grow with every repetition.
Society is bound together by thou
sand cords, some of them slight as
threads, others as strong as cables,
but all important to the fabric, and
none without a conference on the
strength Of the whole The old saying
that speech is silver and silence Is
golden, applies with great force to our
social intercourse. We do not often
regret our silence, But frequently we
regret our speech.
I A delicate sense OF honor should be
cultivated by those who In any way
become aware of secrets relating to
the contentment, tranquility, and do
nestle stability Of their friends.
Secrets are not always told: they are
seen. To witness what was
not meant for one and then to reveal
Il, is to display despicable and un-
worthy lack of reticence. Most people
enjoy carrying tidings and like to be
the authors of sensation. To repress
this wish whenever ones better feel
Ing and good breeding show it to be
essential, Is the only course for per-
son of honorable instincts and kindly
nature.

The Complexion.

Every season has its special perni-
cious effect upon the complexion, and
the woman who has learned the secret
Of refreshing her skin with buttermilk
finds in It her weapon to combat the
tan and sunburn of summer. and the
roushening and chapping winds Of win
ter, as well as the sudden changes Of
temperature Of the intermediate sea-
sons. After any outdoor sport, after
dances. after overexertion--in fact.
whenever there is need OF cooling or
terminating bath 1t should be Of but
termilk. and the beauty Of it is that it
does not leave sour odor. as do milk
and cream when they are used for bath
ing purposes. but leaves one as fresh
and sweet as possible.

SPRING AND SUMMER COATS
Attractive Dust Coats Are in Use
This Season-The Numerous
Other Models.

Shot taffetas and chiffon mohairs
are liked for the dust coats which are
the apotheosis of the old-time linen
duster, and the heavier qualities of
pongee are considered particularly
smart for this purpose. A French coat
of tussore, in the natural tone, cut in
three-quarter length, semi-iitting, and
with yoke and hip seams is one of the
smartest dust coats shown so far. The
lines are excellent, and high Direc-
toire collar faced with black taffeta. a
loosely knotted black taffeta scarf and
black taffeta buttons set in dull gold
rims give cachet looking in many Of
the Shower models.
Tweed automobile coats of every
suitable description have been provid-
ed by the tailors, ana the tendency is
toward some such inconspicuous and
cleverly tailored garment for motor
wear, the freakishness of costume that
marked the experimental and fad stage
of motoring having given way to com
mon sense and good taste. Later the
silk dust coats will be worn, but even
in summer coat of lightweight wool
Is seldom too heavy for motoring. and
such a coat is an almost indispensable
item of wonian's wardrobe to-day.
even though she doesn't own an auto
mobile herself and hasn't one in her
family.
The comparatively short box coat In
covert cloth, broadcloth, ETC., has many
friends this season, and still shorter
pony jackets In black or tan are fur
nished for wear with plaid, check or
stripe skirts, but these coats are suit
able only with frocks Of certain tyne
and are of less use for general wear
than a longer coat of the conventional
fitted back and fly front order.
A few very attractive belted or cir
died coats are among the new showing
The original model was In white serge
with black velvet girdle, neck finish
cuffs and buttons, but the same thing
is shown in soft mixed grays and mode
shades.
The redingote is at its best in cloth
or velvet and is not especially fancied
for summer wear, but there are some
close fitting half length and three
quarter coats Of the plainest tailored
type. and the tourist coat with loosely
belted back still has Its uses.

TELEPHONE ETIQUETTE.
"Hello" NO Longer Good Form When

when answering the telephone dc

many large business houses In New

private persons as well there would be
less confusion and "Central's" nerves
would be in better condition. Central

BUSY" speaking through the phone
Is merely a matter Of practice. To be
heard distinctly at the other end of the
wire one must speak in tones that will
not cause a reverberation or buzzing
sound at ones own end. Distinct
enunciation saves time and worry.
A private telephone often becomes a
great expense to the owner If guests use
1t ad libitum, forgetting to pay for their
calls. 1t is curious that the man or
woman who would hesitate to borrow
a two-cent stamp of you will use a dol
lars worth of calls on your phone with
out blinking.
To be called away from the dinner ta-
BILE to answer some trivial question is
an everyday occurrence. But Fortunate
ly the telephone habitues are gradually
evolving certain code of etiquette
among themselves which governs the
use of this necessary mode of communi-
cation. Some of the rules are:
Never telephone to private house too
early in the morning or too late at night.
The hours are governed by the customs
of the household.
Never telephone during meal hours.
Never use the phone of a person of
slender means without at least offering
to pay for its use.
Employees should never use the wire
in business Office for long and pro-
tracted conversations with personal
friends.
Don't forget that even if you are not
seen across the phone wire you are
probably being overheard by third
party, and possibly by others.
Don't shout our your private affairs
over public phone.
Don't blame the phone or Central"
for your own forgetfulness.
Don't, when some one is speaking at
the phone within your hearing. stop
your conversation. Go on talking or
get out of hearing distance.
Don't talk for effect. Your conversa-
tion may be amusing to the friends be-
side you, but will prove puzzling to the
person at the other end Of the wire.
Learn to speak in well-modulated mu-
steal tones.
An invitation delivered over the
phone is most informal and is only pos
aibie between good friends.
Don't act languid or lackadaisical
when 'phoning." Speak up in a
healthy tone of voice.
Keep the mouthpiece and the tele-
phone receiver clean and sterilized by
swabbing both off with cloth dipped in
alcohol
Don't be in a hurry.
Don't lose your temper
When answering the phone, give your
name, or the name Of the house or person
whom you represent instead of saying
'Hello!"
