City Built Over Vast Tomb

From time to time. says Harper's
Weekly. certain municipal officials
visit this grim entrance. the existence
of which is known to only very few
people.

reason of which was mysterious to
him, was accustomed to relate that

Proper Care of the Face.

The benzoin used for the hands is
also beneficial for the face. and in the
same prOpOrtiOn-12 drops to bowl
of water. After the face has been
carefully dried, give it a light rub
with cold cream. If several hours OF
roasting over a hot fire fall to your
lot. it is also we'll to coat the face
with cream before beginning this
work. This is little unsightly. but
it will keep of a good deal of the

All rubbing of the face when bath

cream must be upward. as a contrary
motion drags down the muscles and

Many Districts Of Paris, France, Are
Directly Above the Spacious
Cataeombs.

Paris in many of its districts is built
over the catacombs. These vast sub
terranean chambers and galleries pro-
duce that peculiar cavernous sound
which is heard in the Luxembourg.
Montparnasse, Vanguard, Montrouge
and Montsouris quarters when heavy
carts pass rapidly along the coaTsely
metaled roads. The streets are then
like monstrous drums beating funeral
marches to the graves over that vast
common grave of ten centuries Of
Parisians with its millions of skele-
tons dead.
The quaint little Gothic house at the
corner of the recently prolonged boul-
evard Raspail, which many an Ameri-
can artist must remember from his stu
dent days. actually has private stair
case leading to the catacombs from
beneath a Theoretically closed stone

Use Of Cold Cream and Avoidance
of Sudden Changes Of Tempera-
ture Are Important.

The greatest dangers to the skin OF
the face with housekeeping lie in fire
and dust. The face, like the hands,
should be washed twice a day-that is.
we'll washed-but with soap only at
night. If the morning sweeping has
coated it with dust. take this of first
with cold cream and soft rag. Pre-
pare the bath with warm or hot
water. / find hot most beneficial-use
an oily soap and see that the face
cloths are frequently changed and
always summed after using. Never for
get for a moment that the skin Of the
face is more delicate than that of any
part of the body. and that swift
changes of temperature, such as going
directly from a hot fire into q cold
cellar. are very Injurious to 1t. This
tends to thicken and harden the skin.

look which the faces of so many hard.

Amusements for Summer Parties.


This is the season of outdoor enter
tainments. for most of our readers. II
not sOjourners by the sea or On the
mountain top, may arrange for novel
entertainments In the open air by utf-
LIKING what is near-the parks. the
reaches of inland lake or rivers, the
shady lawn of the home place q some
adjacent country side reached by the
ever-present trolley car.
A fagOt party is not new, but this
way of conducting one has new fea-
lures: A circle of pine trees Was the
setting for little fireplace made of
stones. on which paper and dry twigs
were ready to be touched OF.
Each guest was presented with q
bundle of fagots to which vas at
tached number; duplicate number
was given out. The hostess re-
quested the guest who drew No 1 to
look at the fagOts; If he had No. 1 the
bundle was Laid on the blaze. and he
had to tell story. sing a song or
dance jig while the fagots burned.
1t really WAS another way of conduct
ing stunt" party. One guest re-
cited some clever negro dialect.
bits she had collected while in the
south; 4 man gave some college
stories: a sweet singer rendered some
Hawaiian love songs which she
learned from the natives while on the
island. The result was very good.
There were IL guests and 12 bundles
of fagots burned underneath the tall
pines. Refreshments were served on
the inclOsed porch of the summer cot
tage. A candle was at each plate
held by drop of melted wax onto a
wooden picnic plate; by it was a
wooden skewer; with it marshmallOws
were toasted over the candle and
eaten with ice cream and small cakes
There was impromptu singing of col
lege songs to the accompaniment of
the hostess guitar. All the girls wore
tub suits and the men came with neg
iigee shirts with duck or flannel
trusers and serge coats.

Nesting between gigantic hills is
the tiny village OF LynmOuth. its one
street skirted by the East Lyn. whose
waters rush and tumble over the
rocks in their haste to reach the sea,
and here stretched before US is a
scene of loneliness.
On our right reaching far out to sea
is the gigantic headland of Counties
bury Foreland. whilst on our left are
stupendous cliffs covered with bril-
liantly-hued flowers or wooded almost
to the waters edge.
Ii We retrace our steps and follow
the course OF the Lyn. in few mo-
ments we find ourselves in a scene Of
beauty, and we can wander along the
banks for several miles lost in Won
derment at the glories opening out
before US.
Below is a ravine down the center
of which is a rushing stream, the bed
of which is strewn with huge rocks.
round which the water whirls and
lashes itself into foam. On either side
are precipitous hills densely wooded.
and we here and there obtain a
glimpse of banks of gigantic foxgloves
and other wild flowers, whilst near the
waters edge are ferns in bewildering
variety, some of which are almost
tropical, reaching height of nearly
six feet
A walk of about two miles brings US
to the famous "Watersmeet," where
the Coombe Water joins the Brendon
Water in a succession Of beautiful
falls, and the grandeur and manifold
beauties of the scenery at this point
may tempt us to remain here till we
are ready to resume our journey back
to Lynmouth.
Should, however. We decide to pro.
coed. We can follow the Brendon Wa
ter for another four or five miles
through scenery momentarily growing
more beautiful until we at length
reach Doone valley. where We can ex-
pore many of the points of interest
referred to in Blackmore's novel. in
GLIDING the famous Waterslide. and
the tiny church at Dare. in which
Lorna and Jan Kidd were married.
There are two or three routes by
which we can wend our way home
wards. each equally beautiful. but as
we are probably tired. We may find it
advisable to charter one of the car
riages which ply for hire near the en-
trance of the DOOne valley.
A tiny cliff railway for small cost
will take us from Lynmouth into Lyn-
ton near the North walk. probably the
finest coast walk in the kingdom. Cut
in the face of the cliff between six and
seven hundred feet high with jagged
masses of rock towering above us for
another two or three hundred feet. we
have a scene of superb grandeur. and
after a walksof about mile find our
selves by Castle rock, and at the en-
trance of the famous Valley of Rocks.
Days and weeks fly quickly by in
exploring the beauties of this roman
tic little spot. Lee Bay and Woody
Bay are within easy distance and their
delightful glens, coombes and rushing
streams. beyond which Is the steep
gorge of Heddons Mouth. whilst coach
rides to Ilfracombe. boat trips to
! Clovelly. and the toy railway to Barn.
staple give US the opportunity OF ia
miliarizing ourselves with beauties of
which all Englishmen should be proud.
