DECL INES To DISCUSS
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
CONSUL SAITO WISHES TO WAIT
UNTIL HE HEARS FROM WASH
INGTON BEFORE TALKING.

The japanese Consul General for this
place stated this morning that he did
not care to discuss the Presidents
message to Congress until he had seen
that document itself and had received
from the embassy in Washington ad-
vices concerning it. He does not wish
to commit himself on the message
wherein it relates to the Japanese
question until he is sure of his ground.
However 1 think that the Presi-
dents plan for the naturalization of
the japanese is very good one" said
the Consul, but I wish to learn fully
of it before 1 say anything further"

AMERICANS IN "GoTaA"

Admission to 'fGotha' is a distinc-
ton which American men can never
attain, but which American women are
gaining in ever increasing numbers.
",Gotha' is the oldfashioned regis
ter of noble families in Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary, together with other
European countries.
Gothao is a book of prodigious
Size, published in four volumes. The
first volume contains the reigning fam
lies Of Europe, the princely families
which possess equality Of birth with
royal houses, and the princely ducal
families, Of Europe. The second vol
ume contains a list Of counts, the third
volume q list Of barons and the fourth
volume list Of noblemen Of lesser
rank.
The only American woman whose
name figures in the first section Of the
first volume Of the Gotha Almanach,
which is devoted to royal reigning fam
lies, is, the princess of Monaco, the
divorced wife of the ruling monarch Of
the smallest country in Europe.
The princess maiden name was Alice
Heine, and she was born at New, Or
leans. d
She is a niece Of the late Henry
Heine, prominent New Orleans man,
and she was educated in France. She
had hardly celebrated her seventeenth
birthday when she was led to the altar
by the duke Of Richelieu and Fronsac,
who was eleven years her senior. Five

Where Feminine Fancy Lights

woman should not have hair that is
beautiful and healthy T.. -
For treatment of the hair that has
been injured by using ''rats' there is
nothing better than scalp massage, the
application Of good hair tonic and
regular brushing. Coaxing Of this sort
will cause a new growth and cause the
old one to brace up.
One of the best tonics for the hair
is salt, and an excellent, dry tonic
shampoo may be made with it. Mix a
coarse quality of salt, with powdered
arris root, using two ounces to pound
of SALT Sift well in order to mix thor
oily, rub into the hair and scalp and
brush out with a good bristle brush.
For an itching, irritated scalp, try
applications Of solution Of boric acid.
Purchase an ounce Of pure boric acid
crystals and place in quart jar of hot
water. Apply to the scalp every night,
and in short time there will be no
more trouble.
Altho good summing is the best
thing in the world for the hair, it is
not particularly good for it to be dried
in the sun after shampooing. The sun
seems to make each individual hair
stand out separate from the others
and, as a consequence, it is difficult
to arrange it nicely. See that the hail
is thoroly dried and then given SUI
bath.

TO FREsHEN SHOES

In freshening white shoes, either can
vas or buckskin, different preparations
of pipeclay are invaluable. The yell
lowness that comes with this cleaning
is usually caused by using too much Of
the preparation, which leaves thick,

in, the sun to bleach while they dry.
Russet shoes, when the ordinary

polished before being worn the first
time, they will not spot. ..,. . 5.

BUTTERMILK AS A LOTION

There is probably no better emol-
lient than buttermilk, and it leaves the
skin soft and white, with fresh sweet
.odor, superior to any manufactured
perfume. # you sunburn and tan and
are inclined to freckle, the buttermilk
acts as bleach. 1t also stimulates the
pores and acts as a corrective for most
Of the minor imperfections to which the
skin is prone. It should, however, never
be applied to the face with massage
movement, but with smart little pats,
until every portion Of the face has been
covered; and let it dry on the skin, as
it will leave no trace of oiliness. &c
may be used generously on the neck
and arms, which should be bathed first.
Dry the skin by patting (not rubbing)
with soft towel, and delicious feel
ing Of softness will follow.
If your skin appears sallow in the
spring, try another old-time remedy
dandelion tea. This seems to act. di-
rectly on the liver, and will make sal
lowness and pimples soon disappear.
Make b tea of the roots and leaves, and
take It for about two weeks at time.

She Would Be Most Difficult Creature
BY POLLY PENN.

Have you ever heard, oh, reader! the
average man descanting on his notion
Of the ideal woman9 If you. have, you
know what a. glorious creature she is.
But does it ever occur to you to won
der whether he would actually fall in
love with her if he met herr
Perhaps he never does meet her, for
the ideal woman Of most men s magma
tions is too perfect to exist in this i'm
perfect world. She is more angel than
woman lovely, ethereal creature, too
good to live with, fit only to worship.
She is divinely unselfsh, never Cos
sips, never loses her temper, is always
jtactful, thinks nothing but good of
everyone, is never jealous, is lovely to
look upon, is intelligent and accom-
plished, and is, moreover, a splendid
housewife and manager, withal eco
nomical. She has all the qualities of
the cherubim and seraphim and one can
only reflect upon the misery the poor
angelic lady would have to endure if
she really existed in the flesh and were
compelled to dwell in the midst Of the
rest of us faulty creatures She would
be pitiably lonesome.
| For there is nobody on earth who
could match up to the virtues of this
highly impossible She. Certainly no
man could.
It may be noticed that while man
| demands great deal of his ideal WON
an, he is rather impatient if she returns
the compliment by demanding things of
him. He likes to monopolize the mar
ket in demands. He expects woman
to be all patience and gentleness, Sc,
rene and self-controlled. under all pro
vocation, and ever ready with the heal
/ ing balm of forgiveness and forgetful
ness where his backslidings are con
cerned. She must be good and sweet

up to her conception Of an ideal mani
All, how seldom!
The sanest and safest way Is for
neither side to expect too much nor to
be satisfied with too little. In that
way happy medium may be struck,
wherein men are satisfied with lovable
womanly women, even tho faulty, and
women with everyday, mainly men,
even tho not impossible heroes
For we are all of us so constituted
that we canont live in too rarified an
atmosphere. The man or woman who
gets too far away from our level is apt
to get out of the. orbit of our human
affections.
1t is as well to stop prating about
impossible ideals, and to make the most
of each other just as we are-ordinary
men and women, full of faults and I'M
realized aspirations. If we can love
each other in spite of the failings COM
mon to us all, we may find out what
real love is.
