SIMPLE CURE FOR RED NOSE.
Massage Of the Face Will Be Found to
Work Wonders.

Old Father Winter is almost with us,
and with him will come cold days.
when noses will look red and unat-
tractive. A cure for this trouble is
very necessary, and, as it is merely a
question of circulation, 1t is very cas-
lily remedied. The nose and the
surrounding part of the face should
be gently rubbed night and morn
ing with the tips of the fingers. This
will stimulate the glands and promote
the healthful action of the skin.
In fact. the massage of the whole
face night and morning will keep the
little blood vessels all acting so nice
ly that the complexion will soon be-
come visibly better. The massage
does not take very long, and it is we'll
worth trying.

CorsetS Rust BeAdaP'
ted to the Individual
Mear<r.
WeAF&F.

URE enough, womankind
1NB2 has been terribly stirred
~ ND this season about the
~ - fashions. The launching
~ of the sheath gown WAS
q shock, and the predic-
tons about clothes In general-and
corsets in particular-wero nothing
short Of appalling.
But, you know, it is one Of the char
acteristics of the American woman to
jump to conclusions. A fault it Is
termed by some. but it embodies such
spontaneity and freshness that older
and wiser heads condone 1t.
Well, as always happens after a
great excitement, We come down to
earth, and the modification of the ex-
treme is usually very satisfactory. The
case Of the corset is no exception to
the rule.
The new corsets are high and low,
hut they are not designed to distort
the figure, as has been threatened. II
you have noticed welldressed wom-
en-, you have realized that the sill
hcuette lacks nothing Of grace.
Just q practical word about the
Tong and short" of the corset-they
must in measure be considered as
comparative terms. The corset must
be high or low for the individual wear.
er. The corset must not be of incon-
venient height under the arms; it must
not be SO high in the back as to form
a prop for the shoulder blades (wh0
has not seen this), thereby accentuat-
ing them.
1t must not be so high in front as to
form chin-rest for the slim woman
or to "shelve" the bust Of fat wOm-
an. The bones of a corset should not
be SO long, in either the front or back,
as to make the wearer conscious of
their existence. OF course, the cor
set proper may be longer and higher
than its bones. If the bones be too
long they will be pushed up when the
wearer is seated, which will cause an
unsightly bulge in the corset.
A corset should be fitted to the
wearer in a sitting position, and, If
perfectly right then, it cannot be
wrong when any other attitude is as
sumed.
The slender woman may assume the
high corset with less danger than the
stout woman; for the long corset is, of
course, good for both alike.
The proper fit of a corset is consid-
cred SO important by the dealers in
good corsets that, in many shops, only
a corset-maker is permitted to super
intend the slightest alteration.

Anqora Sweaters.

Mems sweaters knitted of angora
wool are warmer than those made Of
ordinary German knitting yarn, and
they have a more sporty" air. A
gray angora sweater butoned down
the front with gray pearl buttons had
pockets and border of the same wool
knitted a trifle tighter or with smaller
needles to keep it in shape. To wear
with these sweaters men are choos-
ing angora neck scarfs made like the
smart silk automobile ones. They
match the color of the sweater, though
this is not necessary, for combinations
of colors are often more attractive
than ore tone

The Slashed Skirt.

Women should not confuse the
slashed skirt with the sheath skirt.
The former is open to the knees or
the hips and Is now filled in with
chiffon, not knickerbockers. The
sheath skirt is merely tight, unlined
graceful affair that falls in clinging
folds from the high waistband over
the floor. Each gets it's name from
its appearance Ye: they are constant

In speaking Of the prosperity and
the conservatism of the American
farmer the National Mazazine has this
to say: NO other class of people
have kept their feet so firmly since
last October 190O as the farmers
have done, and they have kept their
heads, too. They look out over the
country and behold the symptoms
here and there of financial demorali-
zaiion and depression, in the light
railroad traffic, partly suspended man
ufacturing, commercial hesitancy, in
activity, and speculative paralysis
They realize that, in SO far as these
things, portend low wages or lack of
employment for labor, they must ul-
timately affect the farmer by limiting
the demand for his product; but they
are sagacious enough to know that
existing conditions, with the worlds
supply of food relatively low, will pre-
vent any acuta depression in the
prices of farm products for two or
three years to come, by which time
financial disorders affecting other
classes will doubtless hare passed
away"

Save your coal ashes for mixing
with heavy soil in the vegetable gar
den. They have almost no fertilizing
value, but help to loosen up some
soils. SCOT should always be saved
when flues and chimneys are cleaned,
for it is invaluable. especially for
roses. 1t is beneficial as a fertilizer
and drives away insects. For radishes,
onions and cabbages it is helpful, for
it discourages the cutw0rms and
grubs. Wood ashes are especially
valuable as a fertilizer and should al
ways be saved.

special praise.

Mr.. McCarty has done perhaps
more than any man in the profession

We are informed his next undertake
ing will be with citizen players in

laugh as we'll as be serious. Law
renee McCarty and all who took
part in the play deserve great credit
for the work, and we regret that

keith's Theatre.

One of the best all around bills of a
season that will be long remembered for
its excellent list of attractions will be
offered at Keith's next week, with one of
the most popular light opera stars Amer
lea has ever known, Grace Van Studdi-
ford as the leading feature.
Miss Van Studdiford is particularly
well remembered by Bostonians on ac-
count of her great success in The Red
Feather" an opera the vogue of which
was largely due to her brilliant perform
ance in the principal role. She is in SUI
perb voice this season and is as winsome
and magnetic as ever.
1t is doubtful if in the realms of vau-
deville today there is a monologist whose
popularity equals that enjoyed by Clifton
Crawford. His material is always full of
new bits. He is one of the few enter
tanners who can make two or three visits
to city during the season without wear
ing out his welcome. 1t would be a wise
step on the part of some performers if
they would take leaf out of Crawford's
| book.
Ruth Allen and company present a
fast moving playlet called "We Need the
Money" the action of which deals with
some stock brokerage transactions. The
dialogue is crisp and bright. and the in
cidents of novel nature.
Among the "sight acts" will be those
of the Kita Banzai Troupe of japanese
acrobsts, the best ever brought to this
country; Chinko, youthful juggler who
is extremely expert, and Minnie Kauf-
mann, formerly the star of the Kaufman
Troupe, the greatest of female cyclists.
The programme will also include
Mayme Remington and.her BLACK Bus
ter Brownies" a great pickaninny act;
Dora Ronca, the Gypsy violinist; Keen
and Adams, with songs and dances, and
new Kinetograph views.
Nance O'Neil will head the bill the

Excellent Advice to Young
Men and Women on
Saving the Pennies.

1t is a fact that people in general have
little conception of the cumulative power of
compound interest.
Money at compound interest grows night
and day, ceaselessly, and when compounded
semi annually grows to an extent that very few
realize unless they have taken the trouble to
figure 1t out.
How many young men there are that waste,
in ways that are often worse than useless, the
hard earned dollars of their younger days and
come down TO old age in poverty
How few young men there are who could
not at the age of fifteen begin to save at least
ten cents per day
Even this moderate sum, if placed at semi
annual compound interest, would produce sur
prising results.
Here is what it would amount to at four
per cent. compounded semi-annually, COM
mencing at fifteen and continuing until the
ages of IS, IS, as, S., 65 and IS.
