The Rondoir

Powders. and. toilet, waters should be
considered a necessary part of every
womans toilet equipment, not only be-
cause of the pleasure in using them,
hut because each acts In a beneficial
way, keeping the skin fresh and. in
some cases, preventing unpleasant
perspiration.
The idea that these preparations are
costly is an error. For example, who
can not have violet water when it
consists principally of alcohol and orris
root? To make 1t. mix three or four
ounces of deodorized alcohol with a
quarter of an ounce of ground orris
root. Put into this about three drops
OF oil of violets and the result is de-
licious toilet water that must be tight
ly corked for several weeks before
using. It improves with age
Lavender water may be made in the
same way by using the dried flowers,
a drop or more of the essential oil
always adding to the quality In
warm weather geranium odor is ex-
pounded from a small quantity of the
oil, diluted with deodorized alcohol
In this way no end of perfumes may
be mixed at home, their strength de-
pending upon the quality of the ma
terials and the amount of the oils
added. One who likes to experiment
may evolve her own perfume by COM
bining several of the sweet odors
Slightly Sweetened Toilet waters-
So freely should these be used on the
face and body that it is not wise to
speaking of perfumes, for they then
become cloying and make their user
conspicuous by the strength of their
perfume.
Toilet waters should never be more
than slightly sweetened. When violet
is being made it is an excellent idea
to have a wide mouthed bottle and
keep in it pieces of the orris root
whole. From time to time new alcohol
may be added. before the bottle is
emptied. and thus a regular strength
and supply is assured .Al1 sweetened
waters improve by standing.

In hitting out such a homemade ice

This receptacle should have a cover

be covered with newspaper, over

San Francisco.-When Christian c.
Johnson. polygmist, walked into San
Quentin prison he left behind him
message to the sex he had so ruth
lessly dealt with in the numerous af-
fairs of the heart that have made him
one of the most remarkable charac-
ters ever recorded in the police an
nails Of the country.
This last word from the man who
has gone to the jute mill to begin
his atonement for the wrongs he has
wrought, is stratling in the extreme.
II comes as a direct warning from the
shadow of the prison gates to women
who are too trustful with men, and
II is the earnest plea of an erring,
broken old man, once morally souid,
who goes to penal servitude with mis-
givings for the sorrow he has brought
TO many a heart and the gloom he has
cast over many a life. He gives to
the woman of this state and Of the
country a strong lesson in conserva-
1lSIN anu the ltCSSSilg ia Ni'~
tenance of womanly dignity. Ire
warning against deceivers and their
ways, the prayer for the exercise OF
care on the part Of women and girls,
the appeal to reason and the caution
to proceed slowly and deliberately in
love affairs make his final word to
the feminine population something 10
be given deep consideration.
Here was a man, well along in
years, practically penniless, who held
such a wonderful fascination for wo-
men that they flocked to him from
all sides. gave him their wealth and
their careers. became his servants and
his worshippers, did his bidding and
considered themselves privileged TO
be the object Of his anger. There can
be no one better qualified to paint
the picture Of the folly that lies in
false love

JOHNSON, The NOTED B|GAM|ST,
WARNS WOMEN AGAINST HIS KIND

softly in the dimmed light with one
ear always open to reason Weigh
carefully all that is said. Look beyond
the pale of the passion of love and see
the man. Study him. Be sure of him.
There is another day to come, far
away from the one on which the
sweet tales of honey affection are
poured into the ear. There may be
cause to reflect on the sincerity of the
pledge of devotion and lifelong ador-
alton that were made from bended
knee"
1t is all game, says this queer man
of the hundred hearts, game where
the woman loses in the great majority
of cases.
Women are analyzed and placed in
their various classes by Johnson and
! he gives his expert opinion as to the
ease with which those of certain
classes can be played" as compared
with those of certain other classes.
Women take their class according to
looks. conditions Of life and tempera-
ment, under the Johnson code.
Vanity is the vice to which woman
is slave. She becomes fiend when

gers for it, like the fiend for any

titles to make herself lovely in the
eyes of men, and, when she is shown
| the attention she longs for, sinks in
to a peaceful sleep with her eyes closed
as it were, with never thought as
to her welfare or fate.
These are all the conclusions of the
greatest bigamist of the age.
