He Broke Engagement.
My Dear Miss Doom:

MY Dear MISS Doom:
After keeping steady company with
a young man in this city for our years
he broke the engagement, but why l
did not know until yesterday when l
received an invitation to attend his
marriage to another girl, whom l do
not know. He only broke IL engage
ment three weeks ago, so he must have
been keeping company with her before.
AS I-love him very much l have
thought that I would go to the church
and break up the wedding. What
would you do2 ALMA b.
No doubt you feel as though youi
heart would break, that all the bright
ness and joy of this world had van
ished for you; but remember, that you
are very fortunate. Surprising you had
been married to this kind of a man and
you did not find him out until after
you were married? Would not that be
much more terrible than you transit
tory grief now? If he is that faithless
before marriage he would be much less
faithful after. Instead of entertaining
regrets in your own case you should
feel sorry for the girl he is going to
marry. / would not advise you to in
form her of the circumstance-perhaps
she should know them to protect her
self-but l will strongly advise you not
to ego to the church and break up the
wedding" Besides being very unlady-
like it would accomplish no good. And,
instead of grieving. just think how very
fortunate things have turned out for
you that you have been saved from
such a man.

being in the room with us. They never
let us alone a moment. If he asks me
to go anywhere, he must, in propriety,

him? Be sensible and try to forget
her. In a few years you will laugh al

To Protect the Skin.

Occasions arise, where. directly after
being s%unburned, or exposed to the
wind, while the smart is still new, it
Is impossible to use water and cleansing
is imperative. AT such a time q good
mixture Is fifty grams of honey,
strained; forty grams of powdered cas-
tile soap, ten grams IA of gum BEN
zoin and borax and thirty grams of
powdered spermaceti. The mixture Is
beaten together and then left covered,
but exposed to the air until dried. TO
use 1t is rubbed over the face and al
lowed to stay on, rinsing some hours
later In clear water.
A woman who spends much time out
of doors exposed to the elements and
still prevents her face from burning
though she does not wear a veil, ac-
complishes it by a very simple method.
On returning to her room h saturates
her face with cold This she
allows to remain On in quantity until
her dress Is. changed and she is ready
TO go down stairs-perhaps fifteen MIN
utes In all. Then, with a soft ciotn'
she gently labs off the cream and over
what is left she puts on a thick coat
ing of powder. Neither powder nor
cream show, and the latter prevents
any after action on the complexion ina
might be caused by wind or sun.

NEXT TO THE TRAINED NURSE.

Here Is a chance for the unoccupied
girl: If one cannot conveniently learn
to be @ trained nurse, there is every
possibility of becoming a convalescent's
nurse, and doctors are eager to find
women for such purpose, because, as a
rule, no great responsibility Is attached
to such cases after the dismissal of the
trained nurse. Women in this capacity
can carr from $40 to SIS a week, includ-
ing their room and board. For very
good service they might receive even
more, especially If there Is a double
charge as in the case of a mother and
infant, or a number of children sick at
the same time in one household.

To Clear Complexion.

Dear Madame Alta:
Can you tell me IL peroxide OF hydro
gen is good to clear the skin, and IL so
in what proportion? My complexion Is
dark and freckled, and my nose Is quite
full of blackheads. What a l do to
clear it a little?
A READER OF YOUR COLUMN.
To use peroxide Of hydrogen In
quantities would be harmful. To
rid your face of the blackheads'
wash it every night with hot water
and pure olive oil soap, using a soft
camels-hair brush to scrub with. After
a thorough scrubbing rinse the face
free of all soap, dry and rub In gently
some good cold cream. Scrub again in
the morning with warm water, using
cold water to rinse with. For the
freckles, battle the face during the day
with a lotion made Of thirty grains of
pulverized borax to two and one-half
ounces of lemon Juice. This should be
applied to the face after 1t has beer
thoroughly washed and rinsed.

THE INDIAN WAR BONNET.

H-y VERY old-time picture Of an In
ri dian chief represented him with a
A lot of eagles feathers on his
head. or trailing down his back. The
artists looked on this, perhaps, as mere
ly a necessary part of the chiefs
dress. but among the Indians them
selves. 1t was and is a matter Of the
most important Specification.
The feather head-dress is the war
bonnet. the chief glory of the brave,
The feathers are placed all around the
head. and thence down the back, some
of the trails dragging on the ground as
the chief walks. The longer the trali
the greater the war-record OF the chlel'
for every feather is awarded by the
grand council for some great deed' ana
is usually tipped with a tuft Of horse
hair as an extra mark of glory.
Less attention is given to such mat
tiers now thai formerly, however, Tor
the Indians are fast coming under the
Influence of civilization, and they are
really beginning to work, which they
would rather have died than do twenty
five years ago. They then left the dis
graceful business Of working to the
squaws.
Speaking of the war-bonnet, a man
who was present at a council, many
years ago, says that n of the fiery
young chiefs made a regular blood
thirsty speech, and got the Others so
much excited that they were ready to
go on the war-path right away. Then
an old chief arose, and with his war
bonnet trailing along the ground be-
hind him, he began to speak in a quiet
way, counseling peace.
The effect on the assembly was in
Simultaneous and remarkable. The
chief had only two or three
feathers on his head; the old chief had
them almost by the score, and his
words subdued the excitement and com.
pletely changed the feelings of his
hearers. 1t was the potent influence
Of the long war-bonnet that did it.
