WOMEN PRETTiER TO-DAY.

Authorities on beauty agree that
women of to-day, and chiefly middle
aged women, are far fresher, prettier
and younger looking than were their
mothers at the same age. The cause
is plain. Present-day women, who
have pride in their looks, give a few
minutes each day to preserving their
complexion against the ravages Of
wind, dust and age. 1t is strange how
many women will still spend a half
hour a day on their hair and not a
minute on their compilations, aside
from a hasty wash. Yet men and
women notice ones complexion almost
first of all. And unfortunate is the
woman who has a sallow, muddy skin
or wrinkles that make her seem an oil
woman, though still comparatively
young. A few moments devoted to
the face several times a week will
keep young women young and good
looking, and to large extent make
prematurely old women seem many
years more youthful. There are many
face creams which promote and pre-
serve ones good looks, but care should
be exercised to select one of the
standard brands sold at your druggists.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 2S.--Mrs.
Laura Hull Morris, wife of DR.. Minor

serted by her friends, Is back In Wash

from the White house on Jan. 4, 1906
as incident that created a national
scadal at the time and was the start
Of long train of Ill luck and persecu-

Since her departure after that affair
Mrs. Morris has been incarcerated in
two insane asylums in the west, escap-
Ing from the last one in which she was
imprisoned. She says she is normal

enemies was bounding her.
Mrs. Morris returned here to dispose
OF her household goods, for she had
grown FESTIVE under the protection of
friends in the east. She expected to
realize several hundreds dollars on
her possessions, but discovered that the
house had been stripped from cellar
to garnet and none of her cherished
belongings remained. This action she
charges against her son, and she will
appeal to the courts for redress.
In the meantime Mrs. Morris, ac-
cording to her claim, has practically
been abandoned by her husband and
sons. 1t was in the course of an eff.
fort to get President Roosevelt's inter-

believed he had been unjustly treated

house. There she was set upon by
secret service men, who, aided by a
negro doorman, seized her roughly and
carried her, screaming, to carriage,
In which she was hurried TO the deten-
tion hospital to be examined as to her
sanity. She was acquitted.
Mrs. Morris made her escape from
the Missouri asylum last July In the
disguise of an aged negress. Aided
by friends in Albany, N. Y, she made
her way there, and later went into
Seclusion in New Jersey. She returned

no longer would permit her friend to

SYNOPSIS.

Lord Wilfred Vincent and Archibald
Terhune are introduced at the opening OF
the story, in England, the latter relating
the tale. The pair on an outing miss
"the Honorable Agatha Wyckhoff,"
whose hand is much sought after, be-
cause of her wealth. Five other Agatha
Wyckhoffs' are introduced. The deceased
stepfather. in an eccentric moment, made
his will so that the real Agatha, heiress
to mis- fortune and the castle at Wye,
England, might wed her affinity. Thus
bound to keep the real Agatha's identity
unknown. An attempt by Terhune to
gather a clew from the chaperon fails.
Terhune finds old books containing pic
ture of a former Baroness Wyckhoff
which is exactly like Agatha Sixth, whom
he is counting. Agatha Fifth confesses her
love for Vincent and also that she is the
real heiress. He spurns her proposal
Many clews to identity of the real
Agatha prove fruitless.
