RISE AND FALL OF
 THE STREET FAIR
IT IS SAID THAT THE ONCE POP ULAR FORM OF ENTERTAlN- MENT IS DooMED-DEcREA IN PROFITS.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Immediately after the close of the Co., lumbian Exposition in Chicago number of proprietors of entertainment enterprise
 A queen and king of the carnival were way" undertook the organization of what have come to be known as street taiis, and they had for several years aNwon- derful popularity In all parts of the coun- try. The method of holding these fairs was simple.
 The business men and municipal an thorities of d town wishing to advertise it's attractions would decide to give d carnival" usually of d weeks duration. They would employ the amusement man to supply the more elaborate portion oi a fantastic industrial or civic procession, the street booths, games and all the like, while the home people attended to the minor details.
 queen and king of thecarnlval were chosen from the residents of the town, local pride was aroused, the season of merrymaking" was advertised widely, railroads were interested and success was not difficult.
 The success of a few such enterprises drew into the field many competitors, some of whom provided extensive plants for their part of the show. Among these recruits to the ranks of the professional carnival makers were of course, not d few who took advantage of the general relaxation of restraints attending the fairs to make money by questionable
 methods, such as gambling games and improper shows.
 So bad did these features become that a secret society which had allowed it's lodges to take active part in the early affairs was finally compelled to prohlplt all participation in them. Clergymen anu educators who in the beginning gladly encouraged these periods of play soon felt called on to repudlate and denouhce them.
 Municipal authorities prohibited them,
 and reputable merchants refused to lend their names. Thus u business that prom ised permanency and large returns was
 crippled just when It's prospects seemed brightest by the greed and ignorance of the men who had most to gain by main- tainlng 1t.
 According to "The Billboard the de- crease in profits has resulted in driving out of the street fair business many of the men who brought IL into disrepute. Only the best promoters were able to remain at the work, and these nave not been able to increase their territory, be- ing obliged to play the same circuit year after year. Some of the best men With
 drew from the field in disgust. That the street fair is doomed to ex- tinction is not probable. however. Prop erly conducted, such enterprises provide innocent amusement and relaxation or a
 kind that Americans take to more kindly each year. The spirit that makes cleo tion night and New Years eve excuses for the popular outpourlng in this vicinity
 will support the periodical street fair in
 any town If the attractions offered are
 clean and the usual liberty permitted does not serve as 4 cloak for the exploitation of gambling and indecencies

 Jeanne S.-Try buttermillS for whiten- ing your skin, bathing with it frequent ly and letting it dry into the skin. That is a simple and often very efficacious treatment.
 Y. C.-Support your hands on each side of the head by balancing the thumb against the temples; then pressing the fingertips well into the scalp, get all over tn, head in a series of little wheel-like movements. The massage should be con tinued for 15 or 20 minutes each evening.

clinnino and sinoeino the Hair.

Clipping or slngeing are necessary occasionally, no matter how luxurously ones tresses may be. To do either of these, part the hair in long strands and twist them until fairly firm small rope of hair is the result. Rough the edges little. Then clip the ends that stick out all along, being careful not to cut so c.osey that the long, sound hairs are cut as well. For singeng, run lighted tai CT along the lock rapidly, and exer- cising the same case as you would in clipping to see that the flame touches only the short ends that need to be re- moved.

American Carelessness.

From the New York World.
 out of 12,000 fires in the city of New York last year nearly 5000 were caused by carelessness. It goes this way year after year. Children play with matches and grown people heed not where they throw them. Smokers toss cigars and cigarettes, still alght, into baskets of waste paper. Fire Commissioner Lantry urges tha board of education to have teaching on the subject of fire precautions go along with the fire drill in the public schools.
