Denmark recently empowered women
to vote for members Of boards Of pub
lie charities and to serve on such
boards. and she has now followed this
up by granting them full municipal

There is nothing slow about the
Scandinavian countries when II comes
to political progress. Parliamentary
suffrage was granted to women by
Norway in 1907, and by Finland in 1906.

Boston, April lo.-An apparently in
significant tire which started among rags
on dump in the city of Chelsea. to-
day. was famed by a northwest gale into
conflagration which obliteratcd nearly
opc-third of the city. Five hundred dwell
ing houses ana public buildings were de-
stroyed, fifteen hundred families were
driven from their habitations and ten
thousand people made homeless. Two
lives are known to have been lost and at
q late hour tonight it was reported that
two other persons had persisted one a
woman having shot herself in frenzy
over her inability to save her property
From 30 to Is persons were injured.
In the confusion attending the situa-
ton accurate estimates of the loss were
impossible Tho city solicitor estimates

hours. defyinE the utmost efforts of the
combined fire departments OF chelsea

The fire area which was in the form
Of an elipse. a mile and half long
and half a mile WIDE nj us proAucHt
part, extended dagonally across the city
from point near the boundary between
Everett and Chelsea to waters of Chel-
rea creek. II was useless for the fire
mont to attempt to check the on-rush of
the flames before the gale and their main
efforts We're to prevent spread OF the
blaze upon either side. Their last stand
was taken at Chelsea square late in the
afternoon and for hours n doubtful bat

First Baptist Church caught fire AZ the
top of the spire, Soon the roof was in
flames and then the embers settled down
on the unoccupicd church building Of St.
Luke's Episcopal parish and the quarters
of the veteran hremen's association. The
tower OF the First Unitarian Church on
Hawthorne street then became envelop-

TAKE PROPER CARE OF FACE
Many Women Have Poor Complex.
ions Because They Neglect
Simple Precautions.

One of the greatest evils that beau
ty doctors have to contend with is the
fact that women do not properly dry
their hands and face after washing.
Nine women out of ten thoroughly
wash their face with soap and water,
carelessly wipe it off with stiff towel,
then go right out in the wind. 1t will
take you days, and sometimes weeks,
to undo the harm that this careless
ness has caused. If you have not time
to dry your face and hands then do
not wash them. Rub little cold cream
on your face and wipe that off with
old towel-this will answer the pur-
pose if you are in hurry. Then, too,
do not wash in hard" water. If the
only water you have is hard" then
add few drops of benzoin to the
basin every time you use it, or throw
handful of bran or oatmeal in the
water. Any, of these will soften it.
Be liberal with your use of cold
cream on the face and hands Use
little of it every time you wash, wipe
it off the face and apply a good quail
ity of powder. Powder does not hurt
the face if well washed off every night
with warm water, so that the pores
are left well open while you are sleep
ing. The use of good powder proper
ly applied, never hurt anybody. 1t is
the girl who buys a highly scented
powder with fancy name, dabs it on
in spots and never thoroughly washes
it off, who has a muddy skin caused
by the use of powder.
For the hands that are badly
chapped the following pomade is
good:
One ounce of cocoa butter, one
ounce of oil of sweet almonds; one
drachm of oxide of zinc; one drachm
of boraX; six drops of oil of berga-
mot Heat the cocoa butter and the
oil of almonds in a double boiler, and
when they are we'll mixed, add the
boraX, and also the oxide of zinc.
Stir these four ingredients until al
most cool and then add the oil of
bergamot. The oxide of zinc con-
tanned in this formula has wonderful
healing properties.

THE STORY.

IsC OLOMON! Solomon" Breath
- lessly the woman listened and
getting no response, she raised her
voice and cried:
Solomon! Solomon"
Bathsheba had returned from the
presence of King David in great haste,
and as she rushed into the palace
David had built for her and her son
Solomon, she laid aside all her re-
serve and dignity and called frantic
ally for the young man. The sound
of her voice awoke the echoes, and
the scurrying feet of the servants
could be heard as they fastened to
her presence.
where can he be?" impatiently
cried Bathsheba when no Solomon ap-
| peared. For an instant she contem-
plated the wondering servants as they
! gathered before her, and then com
manded them sharply
GO find him. Lose not a moment
The kings business requires haste. y
A scurrying of feet and again the
woman was left alone.
| he hluS has she tA'
claimed as she paced nervously tC
and fro. Solomon shall sit upon the
throne of his father! Adonijah must
be thwarted." And the flashing eyes OF
the woman, the stern lines on the
face and the tightly-clenched hands
indicated the spirit which completely
controlled her He may have his
feast at Enrogel," she continued tC
herself. Gwen now, l suppose. he Il
planning with his followers what h,
shall do when he is come Into th'
kingdom, but the king has promised
and God is good. He will bring thes'
plans to naught. But Solomon, wher'
is he? He must be ready against thu
coming of the kings servants"
And with this last thought In min,
she hurried off TO the apartments oc
cupied by the boy and was soon bus
selecting the garments which she In
tended he should wear when he wa
; anointed king.
And while the mother was thu
; busy and while the servants of Batl

AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE
at Morning Meal Unbecominsly
Or Untidily ALFRED.

The finest compliment we have ever
heard told to woman was by her
husband and he said, in speaking Of
her: I'VE always think of her as a
morning glory, because she looks so
bright and CHEEKY and pretty at the
breakfast table"
How many breakfast tables are pre-
sided over by women who make no
efforts to be dainty? and there are a
great number who are at once untidy
and even uncleanly to look at
The claim that household duties
keep women from looking well in the
morning Is easily disproved, for in
many a household where the lady
gives a helping hand in the kitchen
big apron will thoroughly protect her
dress, and then, too, cooking, unless
one makes it so, is never dirty work.
That woman commits an error who
looks uncared for and badly dressed
in the morning. The other woman who
wears any old thing to the breakfast
table, is also making a mistake, for
that is the time when the men of the
household ought to see a woman at her
best, and not specially rely on her ap-
pearance in the evening when the soft
and charitable light of the gas will
| hide many defects.
