Some Ways In Which She Makes and
Retains II.
The eyes of the Englishwoman look
young She knows how to make her
eyes shine like stars by the use Of a
little pure borax dissolved in warm wa.
ter. 1t takes out the dust and helps
the sight
She rests her eyes frequently. She
never sits and gazes sideways upon an
object.
The evergreen matron Of London
when she looks at you has a way of
gazing right through you. Her brows
are specially effective in this long.
lovely gaze. They are dark. glossy and
heavy. and they are perfectly nodded.
This Is because they are painted ev-
cry night with simple oily lotion
which makes them grow, and they are
brushed every morning with little
eyebrow brush. which encourages the
roots Of the hair to send forth little
rootlets.
The teeth of the Englishwoman be-
long to herself alone. No other coun-
try has teeth to compare with them
They are sound and white. The Eng
lishwoman eats cereals. Like the Irish
and the Scottish woman, she thinks
them necessary to at least one meal
And she chews them. too. for she
knows that mastication is necessary
to good digestion.
The Engllshwoman, who Is holdins
the worlds record for keeping young
has certain things In her favor. and
one Is the habit of leisure. From birth
she has been taught to take her time.
The Englishwoman's habits oil
thought help her out in the work OF
keeping young. She has the artless
dancing eyed expression of the youns
girl.
When not busy with social duties
the Englishwoman Is bordering or
bright thoughts. The nature of your
thoughts makes great difference in
your face.

Mackay in place similar to that oc-
cupied in England by the talented
Countess of Warwick. Workers in the
cause have said that leader was
wanted who combined high social Do
sition and acknowledged intellectual
attainments-one who would further
compel serious attention to the move
ment and disarm ridicule.
Mrs. Mackay said recently concern
ing her new faith:
II have been a convert to the prin-
time past. l believe that the day is
not far distant when success will be
attained for the cause in this country.
1 regard 1t as inevitable that the Amer
lean woman suffragist will share in
the honors already won by her Eng
lish sister and that the doctrines will
be firmly implanted in all of the Eng
lish speaking lands
The Woman Who Is Always Right.
We al have met her-the woman
who lays down the law-and most Of
us regret the meeting.
No matter what is under discussion.
she has her opinion and does not hest
tate to proclaim it. That she knows
nothing of the subject makes no diff
ference in her righteousness
Her voice is usually rasping. her
words staccato and her emphasis
sharp. She may not intend to be dis
agreeable, but the effect is not altered
by intentions.
The irrita ton of disturbed hornets
nest is mild compared with the feel
ings aroused by the layer down Of the
law. Even when in the right her wis
dom is hated on general principles.
She can stir up more opposition than
a motion to raise taxes. You go out
of your way to thwart her and make
yourself uncomfortable doing what
she does not wish.
Silent protest or open pugnacity is
the usual attitude of her hearers. The
good tempered sufferer revels when
the town regulator strikes a scrappef.
Tact is not her long suit The more
reason there is for silence the louder
is her expression of opinion Her
knowledge of where her own business
ends Is scant.
1t is the layer down of the law who
can be depended upon to say the
wrong thing every time She 1t is
who makes it her business to take a
meek little wife TO task for her hus-
bands shortcomings or widens a
breach by telling both combatants
their duty.
II only she knew how great is her
conceit, Nest people find regulating
their own lives so difficult that they
are slow 20 think themselves capable
of including the rest of mankind In
their managing. Seeing both sides Is
not her chief characteristic Her way
is the right way. and woe to the one
who differs. Arguing is as futile as
the fight with old age

In Woman's Rights Cause.

Mrs. Clarence III. Mackay has I'm.
furled her standard as a leader in
this country of the woman suffrage
cause. After a novitiate, during which
she has studied exhaustively the eco
nomic problems of her sex. she has
publicly subscribed to the faith and
pledged her support to its doctrines.
Although 1t has been limited for some
time that Mrs. Mackay Endorsed the

RASEJESS CHARGES.

From the very inception Of the attempt 10
discredit and remove from Office the members
of the Board of Water Supply for their award
OF the contract for the AShOkan dam The IT'D
me has maintained that no adequate ground
for any such attack upon them existed. ana
ever since the pitiful weakness Of the prosecu-
tion's case was disclosed il has urged that the
charges formulated by the Commissioners OF
Accounts should be dismissed as unworthy OF
consideration In that attitude toward the case
The Tribune has had the support of the best
journalistic and popular opinion and OF the
Overwhelming sentiment Of the engineering
profession.
1t is gratifying TO record, as we DO IN our
news columns this morning, that the CounSei 10
the Corporation after the most careful conSld-
Grafton and investigation. has advised the Mayor
that the Board of Water Supply acted entirely
within its powers when ii awarded the contract;
that il had a right to exercise its discretion. and
that for such exercise, even if it involved an
error the board was not subject 10 relnoNai'
that there is no reflection upon the integrity
or motives Of the members of the board, ana
that, in brief the evidence and facts do not
warrant the preferment of charges against the
members of the board"
In adopting Mr. PendletOns advice ana dis
missing the frivolous charges the Mayor VIII
be acting consistently with his own course III
will be done to three faithful and efficient pub
lie servants and a deplorable incident IN the
history of a great work will be happily closed
