of goods as quartermaster of the de-
partment of San Francisco amounted
to about So, 100000 At San Francisco
Maj. Devol purchased everything need.
ed for the United States army of the
Pacific coast, of Alaska and in the
Philippines. To take these supplies
Is transports, some of which had
been Atlantic liners, were employed.
When San Francisco was shaken
by the earthquake and ravaged by the
great fire Maj. Devol took complete
charge of all the supplies donated by
the states to supply the wants of the
100000 homeless, hungry people. He
organized and distributed these sup.
plies to all parts Of the city.
For this work he was made a mem,
Der of the army general staff, on which
he served until he was ordered to the
isthmus in June.
AS chief quartermaster for the canal
commission Maj. Devol's work com
bines the departments of labor and
quarters, that of material and supplies,
and a portion of the work formerly
done by the sanitary department. The
value of the stock to be carried by the
chief quartermaster will be about
100000, and his work will be to
care for and repair the commission
quarters, to do police work, to secure
the labor necessary for the canal
work and to transport it to the
isthmus. The total expenditure of
Maj. Devors department for the year
ending June, 1909, will probably be
about 100000.

BEAUTY IN THE EXPRESSION.
Kindness and Good Nature Redeem
the PIainest Features.

One Of the first things that the girl
who is seeking for beauty must think
about is her expression. You will no.
tice the plain girl whose face is so
expressive" when you would never
even see the girl whose features were
beautiful, but whose face lacked ex-
preston. Every one enjoys looking
upon young girl whose bright, laugh
ing eyes light up her already cheerful,
smiling face. When you meet such a
girl as this your mouth forms a smile
in spite of you. But when you meet
the woman who is always whining or
the one whose imaginary ills bore you
to death, then how do you feel? You
become irritable and cross, and you
wish you never had met her.
Imagine then your effect upon other
people, and If you feel that it is not
as pleasant Ses it might be make it so
at once. Good nature is an ideal beau
tifier. 1t brightens your eyes, dis
eourages approaching wrinkles, and
brings tints of the rose into your
cheeks, while cross disposition
makes your eyes fretfuI and surround
ed by crows feet, and your mouth
droops at the corners and makes you
look years older.

This shade is one of the most beauti-

to be popular in shoes and gowns.
This shoe, which is distinctly indi-
vidualistic, has IL straps, the series
eliminating with bow at the top OF
the shoe. The high Louis XIV. heel is
in general the style, but it is being
manufactured also with the Cuban
heel, which has made such Roadway
lately.
The most noticeable tendency in
modern footgear is towards an in
crease in ornamentation on the toe

made Of suede or kid are heavily
beaded and fasten with three straps Of
extremely ornamental pattern. The
shoe is made with the Louis XIV. heel
and long and slender last. It is de-
clared by the authorities that shoes
of this style will be highly popular
during the winter in spite of the fact
that the protection that they afford
the foot is extremely small.

great variety in this article, and one
of the most fashionable styles consists

buttons are run right down the front
of the shoe and afford the button man

With the moderate shaped toe now in
use by the manufacturers of lasts it is
claimed that a wide scanned sole is
