The "olive oil cure" as now practiced
by many fashionable women has more
to recommend it than mo-, Of the pop
ular fads of society. A. long ago as
the days Of luxurious Romans it was a
favorite axiom that a long and pleas
ant life depended on two huids-wine
within and olive oil without.
The woman of today has changed
this prescription somewhat, and uses
olive oil both within and without. She
believes it has rejuvenating properties
which no more expensive concoction is
able to surpass, and she accordingly
buys it by the half gallon and uses it
lavishly, internally and externally,
convinced that by lubricating her body
inside as well as out she will succeed in
keeping old age from the door.
teaspoonful Of pure olive oil taken
three times a day before meals is the
dose adopted by many women in their
struggle for youth and beauty, this in
connection with a daily all-over- body
massage The tissue-building proper
ties of oil are we'll known, and it is
really astonishing the amount the skin
will absorb Besides keeping the flesh
firm and satiny it arouses a torpid Nv
er as few other things have been found
to do, and this naturally produces a
noticeable improvement in the COM
pleXion.
The woman who is zealously follow
ing the olive oil cure need have no fear
of rheumatism, for the oil is a power
full solvent and will dissolve all call
eareous matter and help eliminate it
from her system Her joints will new
er become stiff or unpliable, as is so
often the case with advancing years
This treatment is also recommended
to the nervous woman, and her name
is legion In extreme cases of neu-
ralgia and neuritis it has a wonderful
ly quieting effect, and mora and more
are women pinning their faith on olive
oil as a panacea for all ills

An out-of-town visitor to an East
Side Settlement House, in New York,
was much impressed the other day
with the massive elegance of a rose
wood table, with heavy, carved legs,
which occupied the center of the large
living room or library. Her admira-
ton brought about an explanation
from one of the workers to the effect
that the table had been made from an
fashioned square piano which had
been presented to them. As it's days
of usefulness as a musical instrument
had long since passed, and as the Set
tlement had been the recipient of a
new upright piano, it was something
of a question what should become of
the big square piano. Finally one of
the clever women interested in the
work suggested that it be transformed
into a library table.
1t was a comparatively easy matter
to have the interior mechanism remov-
| ed, the pedals taken off, and the box of
| the piano cut down to the level of the
keyboard. The two parts of the lid
were then laid on and firmly screwed
down. over the top of each screw,
to complete the illusion, was glued
what looked like a large button of ths
rosewood. 1t covered the top of the
screw and was decidedly ornamental
The wood for these ornaments was
easily found in the framework of the
pedals which had been discarded
The only flaw in such a table is that
the top is of necessity in two pieces, a
dividing line it's entire length showing
where the original piano top opened.
The only remedy for this is to cover
the entire length of the table with a
runner of some suitable material In
the case in question an 1S-inch run
ner of dark-red felt was laid over this
dividing line but in a more preten-
tious library such a runner might be
of Turkish embroidery or of brocade
i'm dull, esthetic colorings.

No matter how pretty girl may be,
if she is untidy it seriously detracts
from beauty.
The plain girl, of course, can stit
less afford to be untidy, but she need
have no qualms about being pleasant
to look upon if she keeps herself ex-
quisitely neat and dainty, for neatness
and daintiness have a beauty all theiT
own.
Many a mans interest in a girl has
been checked because he found her
untidy about her home.
Neatness is the foundation Of good
style in dress A gown may be abso-
lutely up-to-date in every respect, but
if it is put on in a slovenly fashion the
effect is spoiled.
Unblackened shoes or a button off
glove will spoil the smartest costume
No hat can look pretty when perchet
on an untidy head, says Home Chat.
Never neglect your persosal appear
ance girls; make yourselves as nea
and pretty as you can. 1t will ado
fifty per cent to your attractiveness,

NOT WEDDED-TOOK ACID.
Marriage License in Pocket Of
Woman Who Tried Suicide.
baltimore Sun Januarv Isl

Arrayed in her wedding gown. Dorothy
May Mcclure, a well-dressed and
comely young woman of scarcely more
than 20 years, drank carbolic acid YES
terday afternoon in the hallway of DOS
St Paul street. Little of the acid got
down her throat, and the physicians at
the City Hospital, whittier she was re-
moved, think she has good chance for
recovery.
The woman tried hard to conceal her
identity. She gave her name as
Dorothy Leighton, and said she lived at
1908 Thirteenth street, Washington.
but inquiries at that address failed to
throw much light on the case, for she
boarded there but short time.
A marriage license in one of her
pockets, however, told the first chapter
of the story and letter, which she
tried to destroy when she lay in the
accident department of the hospital,
disclosed the remainder. Her correct
name is Mcclure, and her home
is in Bridgeport, Conn.
She declared she had waited in vain
for Mr.. Ralph Henry McGinnes, of
Ottoman, Va, to appear in Washing
ton Tuesday evening to marry her and
had finally come to this city, where,
she said, he is employed by the Adams
Express Company.
A letter, which displays considerable
affection for someone known as ''Mac, -
was also taken from the young woman
by Patrolman Cash.
At the hospital the woman appar-
emily fought every move the physicians
made for her relief. But at night she
lay suffering all the pain of carbolic
burns and wanted to live The nurses
found the wedding gown beneath the
tailor-made suit she wore and the
young victim soon had the sympathy
of everyone.
1t is said that the young woman's
uncle had sent her to Washington from
Bridgeport in order that she might
attend school.

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

Annual meeting of Chesapeake Bay
Fishermen's Protective Association will
b: held Wednesday, FEBRUARY ID, 2:3O
p. M, at Murphy's Hotel, Richmond.
Oyster packers have done very little
business the past week. The cold wave
Wednesday encouraged one vessel in
Carriers creek to commence loading and
one planter sold thousand bushels at
sixty cents.
The trip of United States Marshall
Morgan Treat to the waters of the Ches-
apeake lasted about ten days. The
Marshall received instructions to make
general investigation of conditions
on the oyster boats doing business in
Virginia waters and to suppress and re-
port any cruelties or any improprieties
he could find concerning the treatment
of men and sailors by the masters of
the oyster boats. While out, he en-
deavored to find the Upshur and Daniel
Nog and serve the warrants he had on
Captains Doyster and Justice, but they
could not be found.
Because it is alleged he failed to ac-
count to the State Board of Fisheries for
fines to the amount of $500 that he had
collected from violators of the State,
Captain Savage, of the Pocomoke, was
dismissed by the Board at its session at
Norfolk on the 18th, and Mate ]. T.
Annerton promoted to succeed him in
the unexpired portion of the term.
Although the reason for the removal as
officially assigned was ''for cause" it
was learned that Captain Savage failed
to turn in fines he had collected from
various sources. The Pocomoke's
master was notified three times to
appear before the Board and make an
accounting or an explanation and he
failed to comply. Captain Savage has
been in the Virginia oyster navy for the
past six years.
