TRUE VALUE AND TAXES.
Subject Discussed at Meeting of Pet
worth Citizens Association.

At a meeting of the Petworth Citizens
Association, held last night in the Pet
worth NJ. r. Church. the question Of as
sessing real estate at its true value and
taxed at ~ per cent of the value was
discussed and resolutions adopted bearing
on the subject.
The association adopted resolution
presented by f. w. Oyster. chairman of a
special committee urging Congress, be-
fore enacting legislation. to appoint a
committee from the Senate and House to
investigate the system employed SO that
1t may be intelligently determined whether
the United States is contributing it's just
share of the expense Of maintaining and
beautifying the National capital
The association went on record as favor
ing III. r. bill 1871, providing for the re-
tirement of public school teachers. The
report of the committee, composed of H.
I. c. Ellis. was adopted, as was also a
resolution on the subject.
Attention was called by Paul E. Lesh to
the dangerous condition of the sewer on
Georgia avenue between Taylor and Up
shur streets. The secretary was directed
to communicate with the Engineer Com
missioner. The question of the irregular
numbering of the blocks in Petworth was
discussed by c. L. Gable, secretary of the
association, and he was directed to confer
with the Commissioners.
w. l.. Gutelius OF the joint committe
reported that improvements were being
made to the car barn at Brightwood for
the accommodation Of more cars, and that
in all probability through service would
be eStab ablished on the Brightwood line dur
ing the coming spring.

SIMPLE REMEDIES
FOR FACIAL ERUPTIONS

Facial eruptions may be caused either
by indigestion or a poor conditich OF tue

eating of sweets is more often responsible
for blotchy complexion than either
condition previously mentioned. elri

So If she has rough spots on hef Iace.
there is one simple remedy-to cut down
the supply of sweets and greasy toods.
An excess of fats or gravies is also harm

To Remove Pimples.
Careful treatment CT the skin Will
hasten in restoring it to smoothness. and
on the manner of opening the small
pimples depends the texture of the flesh
for if hastily and improperly done large
pores inevitably ensue. but this Is quite
unnecessary. as the operation consists OF
lancing with a fine cambria needle. pref
erably one that is new. If 1t has been
used before for any purpose 1t should be
sterilized either by dropping 1T into boil
ing water or in alcohol and lighting 1t In
order to burn impurities. The eruption
should always be soaked for at least five
minutes to soften the skin. Holding hot
wet cloths against 1t will accomplish the
purpose. Then the spot may be opened
and pressed gently, but not hard, to ex-
tract the secretion.
Immediately afterward it may be tcuch-
ed with a paste made from five-eighths OF

sulphur precipitate, with three-eighths OF

HAND1CRAFT OF THE IRISH.

s. kann. Sons & Co. are exhibiting in
their window facsimile of the ancient
chaiice Of Ardagh. the original of which

stration of Irish lacemaking which has
been held in S. Kann. Sons & Co.'S store

young ladies wear costumes designed after
the most picturesque and graceful of the

They also wear beautiful copies or
facsimies of the famous brooches that
have been discovered in Ireland-the
brooch of Tara, found near Bettystown,
in the County Louth, splendid ex-
ample of the intricate and beautiful work
done in the days of long ago by the
masterworkers of metal; the Ard-killan
and Galway brooches, copies of which are

of the workmanship shown in all of these
ancient masterpieces is revelation of
the marvellous advancement made by the

Prevailing styles are SO kind to the
stout woman that 1t will be her own
fault if she does not look most attractive
this season.
Especially is this true in regard to house
frocks, for even the new materials-the
soft surah serges. challies and graceful
henriettas-are peculiarly adapted to her
needs. For hard wear there is really
nothing better than nice serge. Spots
and other soils one is apt to get more
easily removed than they are from a
smoother surface. while if they refuse to
disappear with the usual rubbing between
the hands dry, the warm water process
will not hurt serge. Henrietta, on the
contrary. is apt to show signs of the
remedy. So for morning or general wear
serge is best, while for afternoon henri
eta. challie or even prunella may be
chosen.
The last named will be very popular
and. though more suitable for street wear,
the pretty, glossy surface makes it also
deSira BILE for house costumes.
Wistaria Shade in Prunellas.
Among the new prunellas are some
lovely wistaria shades in self stripes that
will appeal to many women as materials
for home wear. and, as most persons
know. this closely woven fabric gives eX-
cellent service.
There is no particular color more fash
ionab BILE than another unless it be an ode
shade of blue, and as this is very soft
in tone it will be generally becoming.
There is always little relief about the
face, so the risk of choosing the wrong
color is somewhat lessened.
Soft browns shading from tan to golden
are always wise selection. and other
coIors equally desirable are heliotrope
gray blues on the pastel. cadet shades
and olive greens. That gold is such a
popular trimming is another reason 70,
rejoicing. for nothing brightehs a sombel
color like a. touch of gold. In fact, any
thing metallic is fashiona BILE. and gray
gown touched with duh or bright silver
as considered the better contrast, will be
ideal for slender, gray-haired woman's
