New Powder Rau,

Members Of the gentler sex used to
carry small chamois skin bags filled
with talcum powder concealed about
their persons in various mysterious
places. II bag was not at hand
the knotted corner of a handkerchief
would do. The powder thus con-
cealed, in conjunction with the moist
ened corner of a handkerchief, Was
used to make an impromptu toilet in
cases where soap and water was not
at hand and to restore the ravages of
wind and dust. This apparatus now
has been condemned as crude and
bunglesome. :.
The newest wrinkle is the "papier
poudre," a. French importation. It
is little square Of thin paper, smooth
on one side and slightly roughened on
the other, which can be used equally
we'll as a sponge, powder puff or per-
fume bag. The slightly roughened
side acts as sort Of sandpaper, clean
ing the dust from the face, while at
the same time the scented powder is
rubbed on. The advantage of the
papier poudre is in the fact that it can
be concealed anywhere-in the palm
OF the glove, under the belt, or folded
in the handkerchief in the hands
of skillful manipulation can be used
without attracting the slightest 'atten-
ton by: means of clever combination
with the handkerchief. g. g.. 49,. +.

1aby's New Coat IL Lovely.

Upon the long baby cloak Ia mode
hand embroidery is lavished even
more freely than upon the littlo
dresses, and while this embroidery is
still chiefly of the very fine babyish
character, q certain boldness of Of
feet which would not be considered
correct in the dress is often found in
the embroidery Of the cloak.
Those cloaks are made in various
materials, but the loveliest shown for
the summer season are In lingerie
stuffs or In silk, the ligerie material
having, OF course, a foundation Of
India silk falling quite separate from
the cloak proper. .
These cloaks of null, .batiste or
finest linon are most delightful affairs,
so soft and dainty and babyltke with
their lace frills and insertions, their
hand embroideries and their fluttering
knots and ends of ribbon. 80 E

SULKING IS FOLLY
DISPOSITION VALU-
ABLE ASSET.
Avoid Appearance Of Pessimism and
Discomfort, and You Will Keep
Old Friends and Gather
In New Ones.


I know a woman; of charming per-
sonality and great tact, says fashion
leader. She makes few demands on
people, allowing her friends the priv
ilege of their own opinions-in other
words, minding her own business.
But there is one quality that she
does demand in her friends, and that
is a sunny disposition.
II want the people about me to be
cheerful" says she. II cannot bear
glum faces and sulky manners"
She is sweet and bright herself, and
diffuses an atmosphere that cannot
but affect those with whom she comes
in contact
She is not physically robust, and
sometimes it requires great effort to
maintain her sunny cheerfulness.
1t you have ever lived with a peev-
ish pessimist you can appreciate what
a comfort the sunny person is. One
sour, discontinued face at the break
fast table can spoil the meal for every
one.
Very often people do not feel in
the mood to talk, but at least they
can look pleasant in their silence and
refrain from disagreeable remarks.
The girl who is sweet tempered
over her work can count her friends
by the score. Other girls are glad to
show her little favors, to help her with
her work if she is rushed. They all
like her because she is never unkind
or sharp in her manner to them. :.
I know that sometimes it is desper-
ately hard to keep back the sharp re-
tort that seems as though it must
force itself out
But If you can control yourself for
just minute or so, the temptation
will have passed and the victory yours.
AS for the sulks, they are the most
disagreeable of all forms of bad tenn
per. It is undignified to sulk; no one
is sorry for you; every one is bored
and will keep away from you as much
as possible. And, incidentally, to sulk
will draw most unbecoming lines upon
your face.
Look pleasant" the photographers
used to say when taking photograph
1t is a very wise saying, and one thai
every one of us might pin on our look
ing-glass.
Don't go about all day with fan
cied or real grievance fostering YOU
heart and spelling your face. Either
forget it or 60 straight to the source
of the bitterness and have it out.
Explanation very often removes the
cause, which has sprung from misun
Outstanding.
But no matter what you do, dom
act sulky and peevish. Be sunny il
you possibly can.

STATUE GIVEN A SHAVE.
Experience Of Monument to Author
Of Famous Song Is Unique.

Near the entrance of beautiful Oak
Hill cemetery, Georgetown, where re-
poses the dust of James G. Blaine Ed
ward M. Stanton and other great
Americans, stands fine statute of
John Howard Payne, author of Home,
Sweet Home" The bringing home of
the remains of this famous American,
who died at his post in Africa gen.
erations ago, when he was serving
there as United States consul, was the
occasion of a great national function
more than 20 years ago.
The late William Corcoran, the
Washington banker and philanthropy
list, betrayed all of the expenses and
also paid for the monument and statue
of Payne which marked his resting
place in Oak Hill, says Washington
Herald. The sculptor who executed
the life-size statue had palmed off on
him as = picture of John Howard
Payne the photograph of a man
whose face was completely covered
with a luxuriant growth of whiskers
Accordingly he faithfully reproduced
the whiskers in marble. Soon after
the statue was set up in Oak Hill it
was discovered that John Howard
Payne had never worn a beard.
The sculptor, enraged and undaunt-
ed, proceeded forthwith to chisel the
whiskers off of the marble image of
the immortal author of Home, Sweet
Home" so that to-day the visitor to
Georgetown's historic old cemetery
beholds the classic face in marble of
John Howard Payne sans whiskers.

Colonial Lanterns q Fad.

Colonial Lanterns q Fad.
Women have found something "old",
that is new" decorative art. It is
the colonial handmade lantern. This
lantern is used in libraries, literary
dens, studies and for hall lights.
It is particularly becoming in Ameri-
can women 1nasmuch as it is a unique
reflection of our early history.
OF course, it is impossible to acquire
some genuine colonial lanterns, but
there are not enough to 80 round, and
an aged man in Clyde, N. Y. who
claims to be the oldest active metal
worker in the United States, is helping
the fad along by making skillful re-
productions, and even improving on
the artistic beauty Of the original. His
name is E. NJ Hughson, and several
Chicago women have his lanterns,
made of tin perforated in wonderful
design, hanging in their homes.
Mr. Hugson is SO years old and has
worked continuously at the bench for
Is years. He is the only reviver Of
the colonial lantern, and the reproduc.
lions that he turns out are like those
used in the time of Washington, a
facsimile of the lantern of Paul Re.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re-
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law It was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were. seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagemento of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
he cumulative besides. The speed
-raze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society In its report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over 100000 in expenses.
besides an increase "in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to it's total
income was 1929 in 1904, 1885, in
1905, and only 14.4S% in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1905 amounted to $7,289, 734,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the, Equitable made better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and I'M
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law SUBJ
stantially as it stands.

more money in that business than
they do in the oyster, and they GER

canoes the junkers cruise along the
creeks tributary to the Potomac and
exchange with the good housewives

iron, and hardly a day passes but
that two or three of these junk
laden vessels arrive at Alexandria

In short, the women of the British
peerage, a happy majority of them,
are doing all that is possible for aris-
tocratic. women to do for the up
lifting and betterment of their own
race and their own people, and they
are very sensibly aided by the pro-
fessional women and the higher work
ing classes. 1t is not possible for
the British mind to grasp the true
significance of internationalism, ex-
cept it be the internationalism which
strengthens British interests and aug
ments British power; this sort of in
ternationalism is the only sort which
is really acceptable to the British
mind, male or female.

CHARACTER IN HANDcLAsPs.
A Few Notes Taken by the observant
Person.


Those people who clasp their hands
with two fingers between the thumb
and finger instead Of the usual one
are probably very deceitful. To lay
the left hand fiat in the lap and clasp
the right firmly over is sign of OBJ
stfnacy. Business capacity is shown
If the left fingers are curved inward.
To clasp the hands together very
tightly, running the fingers down as
far as they will 60, shows, it is said,
that the character is sincere, but II
the left thumb be uppermost and the
right little finger concealed in the
left palm, a secretive nature, though
not one necessarily untruthful, is de-
noted.
Thoughtfulness and consideration
for the feelings of others are shown
If when the elbows are placed on a
desk or table the thumb and first fin
gers are clasped tightly. A keen in
tellect and great self-confidence are
possessed by the man who interlaces
his fingers and then places his hands.
palm downward, fatty on his knees.
To clasp the hands in the ordinary
way, with the right thumb uppermost,
shows that one is born to rule. If the
left thumb comes uppermost, the own
er is born to be ruled, says Woman's
Life. When the hands are allowed to
lie loosely on the knee. with each set
OF fingers joined and barely touching
each other. it shows weakness Of
character and indecision.

The Scandinavian women who are
moving forward toward the better
ment of the world come from the pro-
fessional classes solely. The so-called
upper classes of women in Denmark
are far more narrow and conservative
than their British cousins across the
way. But it must be confessed that
the Danish women, particularly those
who are engaged in the work of the
international Council of Women, seem
to have less subseryiency and awe
for the traditional aristocracy than
do even the same class in England. In
Sweden much of the reform work done
by the women is centered upon nurs-
ing, particularly in the Red Cross
class OF nursing, and moral reform.
But both Norwegian and Swedish
women are knocking loudly at the
doors of their respective governments
for the elective franchise for wom~
en-, and with more or less success.

In France there is a condition Pc
culiar to that country. There exists
so great an antipathy between
Protestants and Catholics that many
questions of public moment are ham,
pered by sectarian prejudices. Add
to this the loose moral status of some
of the brilliant women of the French
republic, and the consequent antag-
onism that exists between them and
the conservative descendants of the
aristocratic cultured classes and you
have problem unique in it's charac-
ter; for so popular has it become in
France for women to hold conven-
tons and congresses, that women of
the most questionable type use this
weapon as means of adding to their
popularity and social influence. Not
withstanding all this, there is null
titude of devoted women workers in
France, separated as they may be by
prejudice or by caste, who are moving
grandly forward in the interests OF
women and humanity.
The German aristocracy has no
idea of humanitarian work beyond that
which has for it's ideal the domesti-
city of the individual family life The
old style German marries that his
wife may rear sons for the German
army or for German commerce. If
she accomplishes that, nothing more,
either here or hereafter, will be re-
quired of her. But the German pro-
fessional women who have had to
go into the arena of life to win bread
or a laurel wreath have learned that
not man alone owes duty to the state
besides that which he owes to his
own hearthstone, but that woman, as
we'll, may broaden her interests and
individualize her life by acknowledge
ing a debt to the state and to the
world If she have children, suf-
flcient unto her strength will be her
duty in the home; but if she have
none-and how many thousands there
are who have none-why cannot she
devote her energy and strength to
some great and good cause?
This is the. thought that grows
apace throughout all the European
countries With all her limitations and
restrictions, the European woman,
when she does come out of her tradi-'
tional environment and offers a
friendly, helping hand to thesreforms
of the world, is strong, noble and
beautiful character-perhaps stronger.
perhaps nobler, because the fight she
wages is keener and more deadly to
her own tender sensibilities than any
struggle endured by us in America
If man longs for drink but with
holds his appetite, he is more surely
temperate than the one who knows no
desire; and the swimmer lis stronger
who battles with a strong current.
Thus, indeed, the European woman
may be greater in her greatness and
stronger in her strength, notwithstand-
ing all her traditional limitations, than
would be her sister in America. We
may not syn1pathize with the Euro
pean point of view as to the c1assifi-
cation of society, nor may we agree
with Europeans in their, patronizing
methods of; dealing with their sister
women; but we. cannot withhold our
admiration and esteem when ve] see
their unselis Jdeyo ton to principle As
