Beauty is Costly

1t costs money to be beantiful-that
is, If the beauty is Of the kind that is
secured through cream jars and lotion
bottles.
mot a few women" said a drug
gist, who has a smart clientele, spend
at least $4,000 a year on toilet articles,
such as perfumes. powders. face
creams and tonics. This is more read
ily understood when it is known that
there are very delicate and special per-
fumes. for which $50 a bottle is some-
times paid. 1t is not unusual either,
for a wealthy woman to have her own
perfumes and toilet waters, all speci-
ally made by a secret recipe. and pro-
duced only for her exclusive use"
The druggist further said that wo-
men of this type think nothing of
ordering hundreds of dollars worth Of
toilet specialties at one time. Two
pint bottles of a fine toilet water, two
pounds Of bath powder and two half
pint bottles of extract altogether can
equal the tidy sum Of $3.50.
Most of these women Of whom
speak," added the druggist. think no
more Of spending several hundred dol
lars on toilet things at one time than
they do of buying a postage stamp.
However. I happen to know that they
spend ten times that amount in philan-
thropic ways, which surely does miti-
gate their seeming offenses in other
lines"

Washington, February 13.-The SEN
ate today passed the bill giving the
government the right to appeal to the
supreme court for a construction of
the oonstitutionality of any law In
volved in a criminal suit. This meas
ure has been under consideration for
several days, and was passed only after
many amendments had been adopted
at the suggestion of senator's who have
criticised the provisions of the bill. 1t
was explained that the amendment did
not in any instance detract from the
original purpose OF the bill but that
they yer intended to provide means
whereby the government could get a
ruling on the constitutionality Of IA
criminal law by the supreme court
with as little hardship on any partIc-

abandonment of the campa1gn for ibe

d~odHuOuHieuL OF the campaign Tor lDc
rise in January. The source of these
operations were not discerible, but the
fact of the execution of large individual
buying orders for various stocks was
manifest. Brokerage houses which Isu-
ally handle large accounts were buyers
lots Of several thousand shares in va
rlous important stocks. The manner of
executing these orders did not warrant
the assumption that accumulation was
h first consideration and 1t was evil
dent that the lifting of prices was d de-
sign AS much as the securing OF stocks
With this display of more aggressive
leadership in the speculation there was
an Improvement in sentiment. More
consideration was given to some Of the
hopeful factors in the outlook, while
some of the topics that have given &C.
casion for a feeling Of depression late
ly dropped out of consideration. Tnere
was no actual change in conditions. 50
far as public knowledge reached to
account for the change in sentiment.
Buying for London account was an aI-
preciable factor in the strengthening of
the market. The progress Of the Lnil-
don settlement revealed moder:te
charges for carrying yer Americans
into the next account. The foreign at
titude towards the American market
seems to be improved by the rest
upon the New York demand for sod
in the London market. The mai ket
was spotty in it's early demonstration
of strength. There was free realizing
also on the advances. The way IN
which this was absorbed and the de.
velopment constantly Of new poin.s of
strength had the effect Of widening
the field of the rise and of increasing
confidence. The strength became fairy
comprehensive during the course #
the day, although the usual profit TAX
ing on the considerable rise for the day
affected the final prices.

New York, February 13.--The co(tGE
market was higher at the star: uut
weakened during the middle session
and closed at a net decline of Z 20 10

higher cables, and smaller estimates
for the ports for the day. The active
months sold about 6 to s points higher
during the first few minutes on cover
ing of shorts and a little bull support,
but the buying was not aggressive anc
prices soon eased off, owing to the
large estimates for tomorrow's receipts
and a renewal of liquidation by near
by longs, who were evidently diSaD-
pointed by the failure of bull support
t materialize and the continued heavy
movements from the southwest. Trad
ing was quiet on the decline, n
around 9.41 for May some demand de
veloped which was believed to be Tor
the account of large spot people. This
checked the decline at a net loss o.
about 10 to II points on the old crop
months and the market was steady at
the close, although only q point or
two up from the lowest with March
selling around 9.25 to 9.26, or some q
points down from the high level of last
week and about II points under May.
