The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-12-27

THE season of social gayeties which
was ushered in by the opening of
congress again calls attention to an
eminently useful parsonage in the
realm of fashion-the social secretary.
Although the social secretary is a
creature of modern development, and
a most interesting one at that, her
place in the fashionable universe of
the national capital has become firmly
fixed and there are more positions at
good salaries than there are social sec
retaries to fill them. The demand is
so great and the pay is often so al
Turing that number of Washington
girls whose social status is near the
upper edge of the top crust, but who
are not as well favored financially as
some of their sisters in society, are
preparing to take up this as their life
work.
Some one has said that good social
secretaries are born, not made" and
there is much truth in the observation.
She must be natural born diplomat
or she will not be a success, but she
must be more than that. 1t is neces-
sary that she shall know intimately
the society with whom her patron will

have to deal. She must not only be
able to segregate the social mounte-
banks from the real factors of society
but she must have an exhaustive &C.
quaintance with the maze of prece-
dents and formulas and distinctions
for which Washington society is noted.
A good social secretary has all of this
Information at her tongues end and is
able to steer her patrons social bark
past all the reefs and rocks that rem
der navigation so uncertain and dam
gerous for the tyro.
Fashionable Washington is COM
ing nearer every day to the belief that
a good social secretary is as essen
TALLY part of the household equip
ment as a good cook. This view is ac-
centuated by the sorry spectacles pre-
scented by women of the ultra fashion
able set who come to Washington to
establish regulations for polite hospi-
tally, only to end in sad failure be-
cause they have no one to inform them
as to the real members of the smart
set, and the pretenders, or to point
out the numerous social distinctions
that are peculiar to Washington life,
the infraction of any one of which Is
counted an objectionable mistake.

TAKE PROPER CARE OF FACE
Many Women Have Poor Complex
ions Because, They Neglect
Simple Precautions.

One of the greatest evils that beau
ty doctors have to contend with is the
fact that women do not properly dry
their hands and face after washing.
Nine women out of ten thoroughly
carelessly wipe it off with stiff towel,
then go right out in the wind. 1t will
take you days, and sometimes weeks,
to undo the harm that this careless
ness has caused. If you have not time
to dry your face and hands then do
not wash them. Rub little cold cream
on your face and wipe that off with
old towel-this will answer the pur-
pose if you are in hurry. Then, too,
do not wash in hard" water. If the
only water you have is hard" then
add few drops of benzoin to the
basin every time you use it, or throw
handful of bran or oatmeal in the
water Any of these will soften it.
Be liberal with your use of cold
cream on the face and hands. Use a
little of it every time you wash, wipe
it off the face and apply good quail
ity of powder. Powder does not hurt
the face if well washed off every night
with warm water, so that the pores
are left well open while you are sleep
ing. The use of good powder proper
ly applied, never hurt anybody. 1t is
the girl who buys a highly scented
powder with fancy name, dabs it on
in spots and never thoroughly washes
it off, who has muddy skin caused
by the use of powder.
For the hands that are badly
chapped the following pomade is
good:
One ounce of cocoa butter, one
ounce of oil of sweet almonds; one
drachm of oxide of zinc; one drachm
of boraX; six drops of oil of berga-
mot Heat the cocoa butter and the
oil of almonds in double boiler, and
when they are well mixed, add the
boraX, and also the oxide of zinc.
Stir these four ingredients until al
most cool and then add the oil of
bergamot. The oxide of zinc con-
tanned in this formula has wonderful
healing properties.

AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE
Woman Makes Mistake Who Appears
at Morning Meal Unbecomingly
Or Untidily Attired.

The finest compliment we have ever
heard told to a woman was by her
husband, and he said, in speaking of
her: 1--WE always think of her as a
morning glory, because she looks so
bright and CHEEKY and pretty at the
breakfast table,"
How many breakfast tables are pre-
sided over by women who make no
efforts to be dainty? and there are a
great number who are at once untidy
and even uncleanly to look at
The claim that household duties
keep women from looking well in the
morning is easily disproved. for in
many a household where the lady
gives a helping hand in the kitchen
big apron will thoroughly protect her
dress, and then, too, cooking, unless
one makes it SO, is never dirty work.
That woman commits an error who
looks uncared for and badly dressed
in the morning. The other woman who
wears any old thing to the breakfast
table, is also making a mistake, for
that is the time when the men Of the
household ought to see woman at her
best, and not specially rely on her ap-
pearance in the evening, when the soft
and charitable light of the gas will
hide many defects.

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT TO
DECIDE OFFICERS WEIGHT

CONFLICT of expert opinions as to
~ what kind of army officer should
ride horse has brought about such
a state of confusion, especially in the
engineer corps, that the president and
Secretary Taft will be compelled to
solve the problem. For instance, one
board appointed to determine the fit
ness of officers to take the equestrian
test prescribed by President Roose-
welt, decided that the exercise would
cost Col. Charles E. l.. Davis, other
wise known in the army as Alpha
bet Davis" his life. He was accord
ingly ordered here from Detroit, where
he was in charge of river and harbor
improvements. Try as hard as it could
it appears the board which has been
known as the Davis retirement board,
found no physical disabilities which
would warrant his retirement.
Oddly enough testimonial from the
Lake Carriers association came along,
telling what wonderful work Col.
Davis has been doing. Then an order
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-12-27

was issued granting Col. Davis leave
until February when he would be re-
tired by age.
Too fat, as fat as Taft, is the charge
that the Davis board has brought
against Col. w. l.. Marshall, of New
York, in charge of the Ambrose chan
mel work. The preliminary examin-
ing board could find nothing the mat
ter with Col. Marshall, but Gen. Fred
Grant excused the big fellow from the
ride out of sympathy for the horse
The last board to examine him could
find no disability except his corpu-
lency. His retirement has been held
in allegiance until Tafts return. The
secretary and the president will decide
how fat man can be and yet be serv-
iceable in constructing big channel
Meanwhile Col. Marshall is said to be
reducing his weight by the delicate
process of rolling on the floor. OFF,
GERS are scarce in the engineering
corps and a retirement of half dozen
would create havoc. .54

oId.Fashioned Hair Tonic.

One of the best tonics in the world
to stop the hair from falling, nourfsh
it and induce luxuriant growth is an
infusion of the leaf of the common
sage. The leaves should be as fresh
as possible and guaranteed by ones
druggist to be grown the year they
are used. A liberal quantity should
be placed in cold water and allowed
to stand in a porcelain or agateware
dish in some place where they will
not boil, or boiling water may be
poured over them and then be set
aside for several hours. They must
not be boiled at all; an infusion, not a
decoction, is the thing needed. When
cold strain the tea and add to each
half teacupful tablespoonful of fine
French brandy, bottle, and keep in the
ice box or a cool place. It should be
made fresh every week. 1t should be
applied as often as convenient, once
a day if possible. for several weeks
to get a good start, and twice week
after that.
