PITTSBURG, Pa, July 31.-When the

Yesterdays testimony by the private de-
tectives, introduced by Augustus Hartje' s
attorneys to substantiate the love letters
alleged to have been written by the re-
spondent to Coachman Nadine, opened the
way for much evidence of a rebutal nature,
and Judge Frazier having said that Mrs.
Hartje would be allowed all the time neces-
sary for this purpose, it was considered GER
tain that her attorneys would take full ad-
vantage of the offer. At the opening of
the court the absence of the usual crowd
was noticeable Detective Frank Munsey
was feCdiieu Dy TIE pldlnt1I counsel, Dut
Judge Frazier refused to admit the testi-
mony, saying he would not allow them to
re-enforce their case by introducing direct
evidence.

lice station, then~took the stand and told
of Nadine reporting the robbery of his

AIDS TO BEAUTY.
One of the Best Is the Use of Rain
 Water on the Face.


 Simple aids to beauty are apt to be forgotten in these days of facial mas sage, electrolysis and lotions for the skin, and yet there are few which still receive the indorsement of the best authorities One of these, and one which helps do away with the neces- sity of buying cold creams, is the con stant use of rain water on the face. A famous skin specialist who commanded enormous prices when beauty doctors were fewer and farther between was asked just before she died what was the greatest beauty aid which she could truthfully recommend. She answered, Eau de ciel" Even now this remains one of the best and simplest remedies for the skin, and yet it is one which mo- body takes any trouble to preserve. A woman past middle age. who has skin as pure as a girls, manages to keep a small barrel always full. In the winter snow is melted, and in the summer be- tween rains she uses the meltings from the refrigerator. The rain water that is caught outside is filtered through a coarse canvas fastened loosely on the barrel so that the water drips through 1t. This is kept clean. and the water is kept fresh and pure by being exposed to the air and never bottled in tight jugs. Another thing which physician stipulates as being one of the things es- sential to both beauty of face and fig ure is to abstain from dope of all kinds, beginning with alcoholic drinks, tea and coffee and extending to all nerve or sleeping medicines.-Chicago Tribune
