Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change .
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brillisnce vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of it's
fairness.

ORPHANS WRITE PRETTY
NOTE OF APPRECIATION
Balloon Route Man Proudly Shows
Note lie Received from Wee
Guests at the Seashore
"Wednesday

C. NJ. Pierce, the big-hearted balloon
route man, is treasuring a little note
he received yesterday
The note is written on a scrap of paper
in childish scrawl and bears the sigma
lures of six wee orphans at the Truelove
home.
The paper was shown to a number of
Mr.. Pierce's friends yesterday and it
brought tears to many eyes.
The note read as follows:
''2670 N. GRIFFEN AVE, July 49, '07
'Mr Pierce:
Dear Mr.. Perceive are the little
children at the Truelove home. We want
to thank you for the very pleasant day
we had at Del Rey yesterday.
I'VE hope, dear Mr.. Pierce, that you
will live lots and lots of years. Yours
truly
Edith. Mary, May, Margaret, Denzil,
Fay, Way, Syril."
Mr.. Pierces love for children has en-
deared him to hundreds of little orphans.
The inventor of the balloon system has
declared that no orphan under voting age
in Los Angeles shall go through the sum-
mer without a day at the seashore.
Last Wednesday forty little ones were
taken from the orphan home at Yale and
Alpine streets and the rruelove home on
Griffin avenue.
1t was the day of all days for the chill
dren. Long will those heavenly hours
linger in the memory of the two scores
of Youngsters who first saw the ocean at
Playa del Rey.
There are undoubtedly thousands OF
Los Angeles people who join the children
in the hope that Mr.. Pierce will live '1ots

"THE FREELY SLAVE"
PRESENTED BY CHILDREN
Pupils of Boston School of Expression
Give Delightful Performance
of Fairy Play at BIan-
chards Hall

Full of the witchery of the woods was
THE Firefy Slave" presented by sew
eral dozen children of the Boston School
of Expression at Blanchard hall last
night.
The stage was covered with small white
robed figures who fitted about through
the foliage and sang their songs of love
and hope while the queen of fairyland
called upon them to tell of their duties.
All the characters which people the
minds of the little tots were there, even to
the elves, the goblins and the firefly. The
children entered into the spirit of the
story and looked as if they might have
stepped out of fairy tale themselves.
Ruth Parker was the naughty queen of
the fairies and Werner Corbin was the
mighty king of Dreamland Ina Ferbeck
took the part of the poor Firefly, the
most popular fairy of ALL and John Koe-
nigstein as the goblin messenger to the
queen, was true to all the characteristics
with which goblins have been invested
through many centuries.
Minnie Sisson and Esta Kite attended
the king of Dreamland as Poppy Red and
Poppy Yellow. and e. R. Bartlett and Miss
Mildred Pratt impersonated Old Tim and
Old Nan. two mortals whose many cranky
moods and vagares were a source of mer.
riment to the fairies.
Bennie Sisson made good as Lubberton,
the mortals' son. The fairies were Ruth
Erwin. Mamie Farrell. Mary Snodgrass,
Beatrice Want, Lora Hudson, Honor Rock
we'll. Grace Tunnicliff. Clara Hartje Bes-
sic Gill, Jessie Gill. Lucille Hagenbaugh,
Berly Buchanan, Mertie Koenigstein
Lillian Fulton, Lucille Mulholland. Agnes
Schellenbach, Martha Phipps. Margaret
Zimmerman, Muriel Lowe and Frances

The elves were Meta Koenigstein, Lida
Snodgrass, Dorothy Peterson and Helen
Fofper
