Beautiful and appropriate was one Of
the wedding gifts received by Mrs.
Richard Aldrich, who was Miss Marga-
ret Astor Chanler, when she was mar
ried to the musical and dramatic critic
| in Barrytown last month. Doubtless the
great granddaughter of the original John
Jacob Astor will prize this particular
present above all the others, save that
given to her by the bridegroom, for
no other woman is likely to receive its
counterpart. The gift is a great sill
yer loving cup sent by the members of
Troop A.. It is exactly like those which
the members give to all their fellows
when they marry. But Mrs. Aldrich
IS the only woman on whom the honor
has been bestowed, and unless another
war is begun, she probably will be the
last. For the cup was sent to the bride
in recognition" Of her Invaluable SER
vices to Troop A in the Cuban war.
No other nurse of all the many women
who tended the. sick and wounded in
that terrible experience saved as many
lives, the troopers said, and did Miss
attention to. all who needed her care,
and tho ill, often dragged herself to
the bedside of dying soldier to soothe
his last moments. So highly was her
work valued that congress gave her q
gold medal and the New York legisla-
| ture a. formal vote Of thanks. And
when she came to be married the troop
| ers thought nothing could show their
gratitude better than to treat the brave
young woman precisely as if she had
been a member of the cavalry organiza-
ton which went to represent Squadron
A in the war.

AS he explained it, his idea of de-
veloping a railroad was to improve it
continually along Intensive lines,
increasing its double or treble
ttfrackage, placing the roadbeds- in
and adding to the facilities and equip

Under this progressive policy crude

be improved until the finished product
would bear the same relation to the
road in its undeveloped and immature

car does to the rude. uncouth, and lum-

THE CARE OF THE NECK
BY Eleanor Morris.

The neck requires. as much care as
the face and is heir to many defects,
and If women could be made to under
stand Intelligent care of the neck there
would be fewer horrors to gaze upon,
since the garb, of society requires dis.
play of this portion Of the body. A
white spotless surface every woman
A plump neck is not always obtainable,
but the hollows can be lessened and the
bones at least covered.
!, Remove blemishes, such as moles and
brown spots, by electricity; it is per-
fectly safe and sure remedy. I'M
prove the general health by eating
nourishing food and keeping the body
tive see that it performs it's proper
functions. An excellent tissue builder
and very simple one is tablespoon
ful Of olive. oil after each meal. Each
night cleanse the neck with a cream,
remove at once with soft towel, battle
IN hot water; then apply with the tips
cream: Melt, in a double boiier' v snry
slowly, oil of sweet almonds, 20
grammes; lanoline, 80 grammes. Take
from fire and stir in tannin, - gramme ::
oil of rose, drops.
In giving massage to develop, the
movement must be very soft and gentle.
and never longer than five minutes on
the one surface. In the morning battle
with cold water. BY treating in this
way you have both the nourishment and
stimulation which are necessary. In
the neck we frequently have evidence
OF. age, before the face, little tell-tale
wrinkles in front and hollows back of
the ears. and long lines down the sides:
these can be prevented by daily care
and overcome largely, even after their
arrival, by persistent massage. Tight
stocks are accountable for many Of the
lines at the side: The carriage Of the
head. and sometimes ones position in
sleeping, has much to do with forming
a double chin, the extra feature that no
woman wants.
When walking the head should be
carried erect, when reading or sewing
the. book or work held in position
that will allow the chin to be moderate
ly high. Whilst sleeping it is not at
all necessary to lie with the chin on
the chest, but have it raised. I know
that all these little attentions take
time, but eternal vigilance is the price
we pay for beauty. We all desire to be
beautiful, but few are willing to make
the sacrifice to retain it or obtain it.
Ask yourself the question, does it pay?
To let these dark circl es of worry
come under the eyes, the eyes grow dim.
the step not so springy! just half hour
devoted to yourself each day all these
conditions could be averted. ~.
