great variety Of flowers are used in
the designs. Some inexpensive
mouchoirs are crossbarred with a
color and at the intersection Of the

Insects are extremely popular this
year, and flies, beetles and spiders
which look realistic in the center of a

intersection of bars. Fleurs de lis,
clover leaves and daisies also are used
in this way.

BEAUTY HINTS.

The lungs send away waste prod
ucts, so does the skin. Deep breath
ing and bathing aid these processes.
Getting to bed early taking cxer-
cises out Of doors, living a sane, SIM
pie life are the plain everyday rules
for preserving good looks and temper
The proper cure for enlarged pores
is thorough bathing every night with
a good complexion brush and the use
Of an astringent wash every morning.
The brush awakens all the blood
vessels and glands to a state Of health
ful activity. People who use good
face creams seldom have enlarged
pores. The creams will cause perspira-
ton and this keeps the pores active.
Drink lots of water and eat plenty Of
fruit These are good medicines for
all beauty ills and are espc Tally ap.
to enlarged pores.
Benzoin must be used sparingly on
the skin L works its best effects

The vaIue Of Annearance.

No woman is so good, intellectual,
or beautiful that she can afford to be
careless in her dress.
No woman, If she would be Of in
fiuence, can afford to nag or worry or
fret
No woman has any right to make
herself unattractive. The woman who
neglects her appearance, because she
thinks it doesn't make any difference
to her family, is not only Indifferent
to her power but is lazy, and shirking
her duty besides

THE AGING PERIOD
UNPLEASANT FEW YEARS OF A
WomAN's LIFE.
Knowledge That one Really is Grow
ing Old Always Comes as Some
thing Of a Shock--Pollte-
ness Overeone.

There comes a period in.every wom-
ans life when the fact Is forcibly
brought to her notice that she Is no
longer young. The knowledge comes
as a shock and in its train comes a
thousand bitter thoughts until she
learns to grit her teeth and accept the
truth as gracefully as she may.
OF course every woman is conscious
that the years are passing The sur
reptitious removal of a gray hair, the
gradual acquiring of the habit Of Sc
lecting quieter colors and giving up
certain youthful pastimes-aIl these
things are done quietly and almost un-
consciously, so that she rarely appre-
ciates the course whittier she is tend
ing until a rude blow brings IL sudden
y to her mind and she realizes that
not only does she herself know her adj
yancing age, but that 1t is becoming
apparent to other people as we'll.
This is indeed a blow. It is all very
well to say that 40 is the halcyon age
of woman-that she is reaching the
height of her beauty and intellect. She
Is, no doubt But the years after 40
until she reaches the age when young
girls get up to give her seat in

Mistaken EconomY.

It is a waste Of money to ever buy
a cheap embroidery silk. Too much
time and nerve force is put on even
a comparatively simple piece Of work
to run the risk Of having it ruined at
the first washing "A silk that runs

far from the city, and asked whether
she would take him for a short time
as a lodger. The poor woman clap
ped her hands with Joy, and said no;
he should come as her guest.
So Ambrose took up his quarters
in Nine Toulare's house, returning
to the city now and then to look aft
er his important cases. but allowing
himself plenty Of time to entertain
the old woman. In the evenings
when they were together she spoke
often of the dead girl, got out the
books she used to read, pointed out to
him her favorite passages, showed
him her embroidery, her music, even
the dolls she nursed as child. Nine.
Toulare grew very fond of him for
his interest, and once said: IF you
had met my Terese before she fell
sick perhaps you would have loved
her, and then I would have had you
for a son" And a moment later she
added: She liked you even more
than you suppose. Just before she
died she tried to write mes
sage.
"A message~ cried Ambrose. ITO
whom?"
ITO you. l fancy. but l do not
know. Wait and l will show it to
you"
Returning an instant later she
thrust into his hand paper on
which was written in trembling char
aeters:
fYou must go back"
That night Ambrose sat long in his
room with the paper in his hand.
What did tho words mean? Go back
where? Presently he rose, turned
down his lamp and lighting a candle
stole tiptoe down the hall toward Te-
Iese's room. He went to the open
window and sat in the place from
which many night he had kept
watch over the sick girl
For a long time he sat there, and
presently grew drowsv, but was

He sat up suddenly. and looked

canopied bed where the curtains were
parted a little at the side. Ambrose

Ambrose went back to Calcasieu
parish. There he made inquiries con-

remembered the incident and he could

people were suspicious Of blm, but
gradually they accepted him as one

Terese died before morning and was

Ambrose attended the funeral When
he returned to his lodgings, when he
wandered once more among his emp
ty, cheerless rooms. he felt for the
first time his terrible isolation. In
the succeeding days, though he at

vogue, although it is not unlikely that

CABINS ARE FULL.
But Holds of Outgoing Vessels Are
Nearly Devoid of Freight.

New York, May 11.-With half a
dozen big ocean passenger steamers
scheduled to sail today and % others
due to arrive today and tomorrow, the
crisis in the situation growing out of
the strike of longshoremen appears to
be at hand.
Some of the steamers sailing today
will go out with part of their incoming
cargo still in their holds; others will
carry great quantities of coal to weigh
them down to the sailing line, still
others will have nothing more than
water ballast All the steamers Will
have full abins.
A group of men who had become
FESTIVE as a result of the struggle de-
scended upon a gang of strikebreakers
at work on the Italian line pier at the
foot of West Thirty-fourth street to-
day. The reserves from a nearby po-
lice station who were hurriedly sum-
moned, had their hands full before the
fight was settled. One of the strike
breakers was badly beaten and num-
Der of others were hurt. No arrests
were made and Immediately after
ward quiet was restored, all but six of
the strikebreakers quit work.
