becoming COIOrS For
The GrOy-hdIred Woman

There is, know. quite a difference
or opinion in regard to the coIors that
can be successfully worn by Krav-
haired women, and as long as gray
halr does not belong TO any particular
age but Is seen quite often framing
youthful. fresh faces as well as crown
ing the heads Of middle age. IL is no
wonder that the question OF becoming
shades is perpIexing one.
Some authorities claim that gray
should be chosen before all other
tones. trying as much as possible TO

are as many types Of women as there
are shades Of gray, and it is obvious
that what might be becoming 10 the

are the tints Of gray hair! There is
the iron gray OF the dark hair lust

10 the possessor than the gray OF the
dark, IN that the contrast is less strong:
the sort silvery threads of old age and
the blue-gray tinge one sees sometimes
ABOVE very pretty skin and muddy com
plexion.
The iron gray hair that has come nat
urally Is. perhaps. the most difficult to
deal with. This lacks both the soffness
OF the mixture OF gray and fair hair
and the striking effect Of the prema-
pretty.

Young girls are rather hard to dress,
because. while they have passed the age
when childish fashions suit them, they
are still too youthful 10 wear older
styles. 1t has not been so many gen
erations since little girls were dressed
exactly like their mothers, and we can
appreciate how stif and uncomfortable
the children must have been in the long
skirts and hoops Of their elders.
Juvenile fashions have. of late years,
however, become a recognized part Of
the dressmakers art. but the woman
who insists upon simplicity and neat
ness in her young daughters attire can
not go astray in the fundamental quail
ties. In summer time all sorts of pretty
frocks may be made up from the galaxy
of ginghams. linens. lawns, dimities, and
batistes offered for inspection. The
everyday frocks, of course, must be con-

greeted with the request to deny or
affirm the rumor.
In her confusion at such an unexpect-
ed question, Miss Ell1ins replied that she
did not even know the duke. Since ar

BOROUGH SANITATION

Borough sanitation is difficult even
in the most enlightened communi-
ties. 1t will ever be easier for Legis-
latures or supervising councils to
pass health laws than for health Of
fCials to carry them out Therefore
in the Pacific Arena, where ports in
ell stages of civilization from the
highest to the lowest are to be con-
gidered, the enumeration Of ideal
sanitary conditions may seem
waste of time. This is not the case,
however, as certain ports with very
poor sanitary status may have their
credit greatly improved with refer
ence to a certain disease by supple.
menting natural conditions with per.
haps only one or two REFORMS. while
10 put such ports into really good
sanitary condition would be impos-
sible. Hongkong, for example. a
city for ages and by tradition with
out belief in modern sanitation,
could never be made clean, yet by
the use Of insect and vermin-proof
po-downs and freight transfer barg-
Cs, by the detention of outgoing pas
scngers in sanitary barracks, and by
the disinfection of their baggage to-
gether with the fact that all vessels
are moored in the harbOr away
from wharves, would make that city
u fairly safe risk, and entite it to a
good quarantine credit so far as
Hague is concerned. Therefore in
enumerating municipal sanitary i'm
provements ! will only refer to those
having especial value in quarantine

SAILORS BOARDING HOUSES

Sailors boarding-houses should be
controlled by special sanitary regu-
idtions. A sailor is usually not cit
izen or resident of any place in par
ticular, and for that reason he as
sumes no responsibility either for
himself or for the public at large. He
goes from port to port occupying be-
tween voyages boarding houses
which are usually located on the
waterfront or at any rate in portions
of the town where the sanitation is
apt to be bad. The boarding houses
are usually dark, dingy, and filthy
places run for the express purpose
Of eXtorting the last penny from the
sailor man. These houses should be
under official control, and should be
and conducted with a
View to affording the sailor and ship
Flng in general the proper sanitary
protection.

CONCLUSIONS

First-That the Pacific Ocean and
ita circumiacent country comprises
the radius likely to be of the highest
Importance to the world from the
standpoint of international public
health.
Second-That the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service be
charged with the solution of the
ereat sanitary problem in the Pa
citic Arena.
Third-That Pan-Pacitic School
ot Quarantine and Tropical Diseases
he established at Honolulu, Hawaii.
Fourth-That a uniform course of
instruction be given to physicians
and others who contemplate a career
in municipal sanitation or quaran-
tine work
Fifth-That internal or municipal
sanitation should be based and oper-
ated upon principles which shall re-
j! force quarantine work.
SiXth-That travelling or circuit
quarantine officers be substituted for
the present system of home port

OF
PUBLIC RESPONSIBILITY

The function of internal santa
ton, as contributory to quarantine is
a lesson most necessary to be absorb
ed by business men. The need for
municipal sanitary preparedness is
TOO little needed to be understood.
'Ihe loss of life and general embar-
rassment which have been so often
felt in various communities from
TINS sanitary deficiency are object
lessons which should receive earnest
consideration
Both quarantine and internal san
itatiOn being necessary, the question
Of proportion demands attention.
r here can be no doubt that it is most
convenient to the public to allow
quarantine to cover the deficiencies
CT internal sanitation, and there can
NC no doubt that communities and
individuals are more tolerant of or
ganized quarantine untrammeled by
politics than by internal sanitary
procedures influenced by ever-chang-
ing ideals, ideas, nd policy.
On the other hand, there is no
"eason why, after due consideration
o. the subject on the part of the
quarantine, business, and sanitary
interests there should not be a prac-
teal division OF quarantine and

Transfer ScoWs

In ports where the Tightening of
cargo is necessary the scows should
be made after uniform pattern.
There should be no decking or cover
.ug and no dunnage Innings. The
Cld-type scow is decked over, two
small matches being left for the pur-
ose Of entering the hold. The lat
ter is invariably dark and contains
usually much stagnant water. Such
scOWs are apt to be breeding places
for rats and mosquitoes. The scow
recommended for use in the Pacific
Arena is one without decking or COW
efing and without dunnage Innings.
1t is absolutely sanitary, and if built
o. heavy enough timbers, well braced
with iron, and if the outside plank
ing is well bolted to the side timbers,
the resulting strength and life of the
scoW will exceed that of the old type.
