T"1HE Line of Marriage is that line found

such signifies long and happy mar.

To be able to tell whether one is married or
not a state of proficiency that few practitioners
may attain However, this can be done More
over / may add that this line does not always
recognize the mere fact of ceremony, for by the
term marriage is understood in palmistry, all such
alliances physologically equal TO bonds
consecrated by law or church 1t does not en-
brace short affairs OF the heart, but to inter
course that has left absolute and durable marks
at the time upon the sympathetic nervous system
of the subject Further, we often find a mar
riage line shown at an age much later than when
the marriage took place. This can easily be
accounted for.
The line is accurate in its prognostics in each
case where the subject really loved and was free
to act according to the dictates of his OF her heart
Since there are no two natures alike, the read
er will never find two hands indicating the same
possibilities results as to marriage. SO we can
readily see what difficult problem the marriage
line is AS with some temperaments marriage
may have its chief influence upon the career.

IN HOT WEATHER.

The hands should be bathed in very warm
water after cycling playing outdoor games.
For moist hands the best treatment is to add a
teaspoonful of suphate of zinc to pint of hot
water, and bathe the hands in this for five min
utes, renewing the hot water as it coos.
Afterwards dust the hands with powder con.
sisting of:
Zinc oxide half an ounce.
French chalk, one ounce and half.

The Influence Of Dress

You need not, writes Helen Woljeska, look
down upon the woman who spends some thought
on her apparel and appearance. The way we
dress is but another form of expressing our per-
sonality, and influencing our surroundings-for
better or worse.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-22

The set of skirt and the unpleasing lines of
waist are entirely governed by the cut and
fit of the garments beneath. When a corset
cover is too large over the shoulders, it immedi-
ately gives the wearer the appearance of being
round-shouldered or hump-backed.
The wrinkles over the hips and about the waist
are instantly observed in the lines of the skirt
Underskirts made with pull string are very sure
to give ungraceful lines to the back, where the
concentrated fullness is nothing if not awkward.
The garment sketched above has two dstinc-
tive features to recommend it. In the first place.
it is well fitted and so cut to be comfortable
to the average woman. Many feshy women and
those who carry their abdomen high are usually
short-waisted. OF course, the cut and fit of the
corset has much to do with unsymmetrical lines,
which may be readily relieved by the right kind

CARE OF THE NAILS.

The nails should be oval or "filbert" in shape,
with welldeveloped half-moon at the base. To
beautify the nails, treat them first with lather
of warm water and good soap.
Dry carefully, and trim with fine nail scissors,
afterwards using the file to remove any rough.

S5M&H to possess. II means simply little
daily attention and the judcious use
ot good soaps and emollients. Irritating soaps

II combined with lack Of attention to the nails
and the condition of the hand itself.
Mancuring is not difficult art TO acquire,
and it is essential to every woman who wishes
to look her best to cultivate the possibilities Of
beauty that her hands possess.
A GOOD CREAM
for the hands, which should be thoroughly rub
bed into the skin at night, is made from:
Glycerine, one ounce.
Tincture of benzoin, one ounce.
Lanoline, six ounces.
First wash the hands IN warm water and soap
suds, and dry thoroughly with a soft towel. If
the hands are very red and discolored, loose
gloves from which the fnger.tips and the palms
have been cut may be at night.
TO WHITEN THE HANDS.
Mix the following ingredients together, and
use with water when washing the hands:
Bran, twelve ounces.
Powdered orris, one ounce.
Essence of violets, one teaspoonful.
Another very good substance is simply me-
dium oatmeal, two pounds Of which should be
purchased and teaspoonful of any perfume
sprinkled over it. Keep in bag or BOTTLE and
use each time the hands are washed.

TO POLISH THE NAILS

Use little French chalk tinted with carmine
to polish the nails but avoid any extreme polish
which is not considered in good taste. Touch
each nail with toilet lanoline.

Late Prisoner Threatens COmpiainin!
witness With a Civil Action.

Ben Oppenheimer, who was Sentenced
70 the pentenliarv for obtaining morey
under false pretenses, and given new
trial by the supreme couit, was released
last week, the county attorney and com
plaining witness not deeming the cost of
another trial justified. as the man had
served nearly eight months in the cOun.
ty jail.
Oppenheimer returned to Aberdeen
when released, and has since given ont
to the press OF the harbor that he was
going to bring civil action against the
complaining witness, the editor OF the
HERALD. 80 far AS the writer is con.
cerned, this would be unnoticed-he feels
fully competent to take care OF his end
of any kind OF a scrap Oppenheimer, or
such shyster assistants as he can procure
to line up. But, duty to the community
requires that this plausible crook be
shown up. Before sending him to Jail
the writer invited him to bring action il
he alleged this office owed him anything,
and the invitation still stands good.
With crooked record extending from
Butte, Montana, to the coast, and from
Aberdeen to juneau, Oppenheimer has
worked Grays Harbor to the limit since
his arrival here about year ago. The
number OF business and professional men
he has "touched" for sums of q dollar
and upwards is surprising, besides the
flving OF numerous worthless checks, ore
of which we had to cash. With our
knowledge of the man, we are convinced
that this talk of suing for an accounting
is solely for the purpose of extracting
dollars from chance acquaintance. He
always has imaginary money, in bank,
or coming from somewhere. He is an
oily proposition, with respectable con-
uections, who have been taking and
trying to keep him out Of Jail for years,
and could make good money if it were
possible for him to act straight. -, >

Co. has fallen through.
I'll 9 National Lumber company last fall

being estimated at about ~ 900 600.
The reason assigned for the failure to
close the deal lie too great difference in
the estimates. The real reason, probably
is that the Weyerhaeuser company does
not care to sell at the price quoted. The
tract is an especially fine one. As it is
young timber, there is little danger from
fire, and it is tributary to both Grays
harbor and Willapa harbor, and will be-
