THE MAN WHO MISSED.

There are men who miss everything
they go after. He just missed a
twelve hundred position by being two
hours late. He misses about every
train and If he does catch one, nine
chances out of ten it is going the
wrong way. He even misses his meals
on wash day. but that is his fault. II
he missed more cocktails and would
get rub-a-lac for his wife to use to do
her washings, it would be a great deal
better Besides that he would miss
many large doctor bills and less shirt
buttons, because there is no rubbing
with rub-a-lac.

HOTEL CIRCULARS.

The Genius Who Originates This Mis-
leading Literature.
Does anybody's appreciation dow
out in proper measure toward that de-
scriptive genius who writes the sum-
mer hotel circulars? He is given as
his theme a bleak. clapboard struc-
ture. an architectural blot Of most un.
fireproofed material, of stuffy rooms
divided by walls so thin that the cor
ridors partake Of the nature Of dormi-
tories. OF inadequate bathing accom-
modations and noisy parlors, the
whole offered at an exorbitant rate.
1t Is his business to SO describe this
trap for the holiday seeker that with
out declaring that the hotel has what
It has not or is not what 1t Is It shall
appear to the reader Of circulars an
earthly paradise, beyond all others in
the country around. Now. how does
he proceed? He begins with the at
fractions which may have turned the
eyes Of the traveller thither, the ever
lasting hills or the illimitable ocean.
to support him, and he draws freely
from his support. He works himself
into a fne EDUCATIONAL frenzy. He
mentions sunsets. rainbows and cool
breezes, all such things for any failure
to produce which Providence and not
the innkeeper may be held response
bic. Then he mentions the legends Of
the surrounding country-there are
plenty Of legends that may just as
well become local in one place or an
other, an, for example, the Lovers
Leap" And when at last the moment
comes in which he must approach the
mention Of those attractions for
which your landlord is alone RESPONSE
ble-cuisine and cleanly comfort and
prompt service-does his description
now become compromising? Not at
all. Not for nothing has he learned
the uses Of indefinite enthusiasm. He
classes these matters in one compre-
hensive phrase and declares them
simply grand"

To her husband. the late Professor
Ernest F. Fenollosa. well known in art
circles as an authority on oriental art,
Mrs. Fenollosa feels that she is deeply
indebted for criticism. suggestion and
constant encouragement, although In
the matter Of plot and actual writing
she always works entirely alone. Their
life together. both in Japan and In this

pendent but absolutely congenial work
and by harmony Of interests and

Sidney Mccall. as she prefers to sign
herself. has furnished another Amer

through four related lives among the
characters Of this story and the power
for good or evil held in the hands Of
the controller Of southern mills all
bear vital part in the drama.

Beauty In Dandelions and Milk.

II you want to be beautiful drink
lots Of dandelion tea and battle in
scented milk. Any one who consents
to drink dandelion tea is entitled to
immortal beauty as a small reward.
Still the stun may be made palatablc
by putting things in 1t. For instance.
a dash Of brandy may be added. but
the tea is better for the skin without
that alcoholic addition. Several cups
a day must be taken for the first two
months Of summer and then one cup q
day throughout the year. Scented
milk for the skin is recommended by
those who study beauty scientifically.
The milk must be boiled and then q
few drops of violet water added. The
fluid must be rubbed into face. neck
and arms thoroughly and permitted ia

newed. To steam the face with hot

THE SWISS WATER POWER
LEGISLATION.

Several years ago the Swiss federal
railroad management, finding itself
menaced with a large surplus, decided
TO engage in the business of developing
the immense waterpower resources of
the country, with the view to electr;fy-
ing the railroads. Switzerland has no
coal, but almost unlimited waterpower
Engineers surveyed the situation and
found that after the railroads were
supplied with electrical power there
would be a surplus big enough TO supply
the cheapest power in Europe TO vast
system Of industries.
The railroad administration went
ahead with plans for this development,
but found presently that more legisla,
tive authority was necessary. Appeal
was mace 10 the national assembly,
but meanwhile the possibilities of pri-
vate profit IN waterpower had impressed
statesmen and business men alike, and
both classes had become interested in
the development of projects. With Iegis-
lation hopelessly dragging and private
interests grabbing for the best things.
Switzerland could hardly have figured
how it was any better of than the
United States, with precisely parallel
condition.
But note how the Swiss redeemed
their situation. The parliament show
ing no disposition to act. the people
circulated petitions initiating a piece OF
legislation on the subject, which would
precisely cover the points in issue. The
initiative and referendum system gave

SOMETHING TO BE SAID IN
SILAS' BEHALF.

a story comes from Columbus,
Ohio. that one Silas Garrett, in the
act of espousing a widow who had
captured his heart. when asked by the
minister if he would love and cherish
her until death did them part, hest
tated, hemmed and hawed for mo
ment. and final, said he didn't know
whether he would or not.
Silas seemed TO be sincerely attached
to the widow But he has lived long
enough to know that widows are un-
certain, and that while love may make
the world go round it sometimes runs
a very uneven course. Furthermore,
Silas has known of dozens of persons
who have taken She same vow. and nc
has seen it broken long before death
stepped in to end the compact. Being
q truthful sort of man, he baked and
said exactly what he thought He
didn't like 10 90 on record.
The minister refused 70 perform the
ceremony, but Silss "stood pat" The
widow, let 1t be said TO her credit.
was ready 10 trust Silas, and to take
chances for board and lodging, even
without the customary promise that
the contract was for all time. and
when another minister was discovered
who was ready 10 let Silas have his
way hands and hearts were joined.
The probabilities are that Silas will
come much nearer living up 70 the
spirit Of the compact than good

whether it is going to last-who do not

say nothing harsh about any of them,
Miss Sutton adds;
Dress is one thing on which every
one in the Newport set is mad Ana
the Extravaganza OF dress and ultra
fashion is the only thing with when l
find serious fault I must confess tIldt
] consider my own friends as pad as
the rest, with possible exception vi
two. This outrageous deVouon 70
fashion, the endeavOT to have the
latest and most extreme creations OF
the mode, is the root OF all eVll IN
Newport society, and, as NeWpoI
leads. one might say OF the society OF
the worst evil of America SUICIDE L
am inclined to say all crime When
found in society, are attributable 10
clothes. 1t is an awful thing TO say,
know. but have often thought Of il
and worried bout il, and nelleNe thaJ
what 1 say is true.
Miss Sutton believes tlat women can
not be happy when all their thoughts
are centered on clothes, and contends
that their bodies cannot be normal
when they are inclosed in these same
clothes, for they are as cruel as the
fortunes of the Inquisition. When they
are not only uncomfortable but ac-
tually in pain, is it any wonder that
their dispositions are spoiled. that irri-
tation starts family trouble, that anger
follows. and then divorce, scandal, sui
eide, anything?"
Admitting that all women are not
able to 60 about in what she calls
"togs,'' Miss Sutton insists that there
is vast room for improvement in cos
tunes that would permit women to
breathe and TO persPire when they take
exercise. 'PerspiFe ia the word, and
Miss Sutton speaks it right out. She
thinks they need more fresh air, more
sunshine. more exercise, and something
on their minds which will drive out the
ever present thought of dress.
It sounds like thoroughly sensible
regimen, and one simple enough to be
carried out. But Miss Sutton does not
advance any suggestion as to how the
women of Newport are to be made to
follow it up.
