The basis of a love suit just set

Of a girl by her lover because he
found out she could not cook.
If he had small income 1 do not
wonder that he decided he could not
afford such a luxury as she would
have been. The manner of his deci-
sion was evidently not satisfactory
as she was awarded a $4,000 judgment,
but the matter of it seems compare
lively reasonable.
In fact | wonder that more men do
not shrink before the prospect of try
ing to keep up appearances on slender
incomes with wives who by their lack
of housewifely ability will probably
use two dollars where a thrifty man

love is too big a thing to depend

that some knowledge not only of cook

Care Of the Hands

To be able to conceal the defects
and bring out the good points OF the
hand is an art which women are al
ways striving to cultivate. The myers
,nust he trained to show off their
beauty-they must be shown how TO
behave The ill-behaved hand is al
vavs i'll at ease, without showing the
good points which the we'll behaved
hand has been taught to show.
Some hands have defects which can
be hidden have in mind woman
whose hands are too broad for their
length. They have the pudgy look
which gives one an idea of common
placeness and poor ancestry. Now, this
woman, who happens to have the
bluest of blood in her veins, is very
sensitive about her ordinary-looklng
hands. "They are positively plebeian,"
she confided to me one day. They
NAV look disagreeable to you," I said,
''but 1 can assure you that they are
pretty hands, or would be, if you
knew how to hold them"
I then placed her in front of mir
ror to convince her by experiment.
Picking up one of her pudgy hands
placed it in such a position that the
forefinger came just upon the tip OF
her chin. The other fingers were
curled under. That is the Cleopatra
pose The Egyptian queen counted
that as one of her best attitudes, If
her casts are anything to go by. 1t
certainly gave a classic length to her
forefinger and a beautiful line to her
wrist After some thought and study
this woman learned complete control
of her hands, and in a short time they
seemed to possess patrician lines and
grace.
Women neglect their hands and
nails, although ten minutes a day Is
the cost of a well-groomed hand. Sure
" it should be easy to spend so short
a time when such results may De at

All hands have faults, and, unfor-
tunately, we get accustomed to the
faults of our own hands. The nail
grows crooked, one side is lower than
the other the moons are irregular and
the nail itself is rough and CORFU
gated from too little use of the buff
fer These defects the owners may
not notice.
Training the Nails.
Every woman can be her own mani
cure with a little practice and pa
thence. Nails must be trained to the
proper shape, which should be trif1e
more pointed at the end than the
moon at the base-like an almond.
This is done by a good file which is

no danger of roughening the flesh I'M

and must deal with him accordingly
The whip rarely has any effect on
such an animal, unless indeed. it
makes him still more obstinate Again,
what will start one balky horse may
fail to start another; and it may re-
quire the trying of several methods be-
fore satisfactory results are obtained;
so the simplest and easiest of the fol-
lowing may be tried first: A few drops
of cold water in the animals ear Of
ten will start him on the double
quick. A pebble of sufficient size not
to enter the internal ear is also
good starter if dropped in the ear.
Bind a thick cloth or large hand
kerchief over the horses eyes, be sure
that the light is totally excluded. The
effect on the nerves caused by the
unusual change, may cause the animal
to pull, with the hopes Of escape.
Press the fingers firmly on each side
of the nose, forcing the nostrils shut,
thus closing the air. passages to the
lungs. Hold on tightly for a few mo-
ments, and watch that the horses
hoofs do not strike you, for he will go
out a-climbing in mighty short time.

load to which the tail is attached
must of course be light enough to

still tie it with a cord that will breal,
before any dagame could be done.
But the most successful cure per-
haps, for the balky horse, is the starv-
ing cure, which is simply tying the
animal up, right where he refuses to
pull, and leaving him there without
fooG or water till he does pull But
there are drawbacks to this plan 1t

Once you begin this treatment, let

ton provoked by such a situation, as

the hope of diverting his attention,

der the udll.
After this is done the tips of the
fingers are soaked in tepid water soft
ened with shaved soap and a tea
spoonful of borax powder. Then a cut
lime or lemon is gently rubbed around
the nail until the cuticle is soft. Again
the fingers are washed, and with
small piece of cotton wrapped around
the point of a wet orange stick, the
superfuous cuticle that has been al
lowed to grow around the nail is care
fullv removed and the flesh is gently
lifted up and pushed back from the
base of the nail Never cut this GU
ticle with scissors. The art lies In
keeping it rolled back without spelling
the shape of the nail.
If the flesh is simply drawn back, it
leaves a pale half moon, blush in tint.
If this is not carefully done it will
leave unsightly scars on the nail.
Cold cream should be massaged in and
around the nail three or four times
week; this prevents the nail from be-
coming brittle and splitting.
In many respects the hand should
remind one of a beautiful shell. The
back should be smooth and white and
the palm pink.
Old Hands and Young.
Pink palms are the sign of youth.
The girl of Is has them, and the
woman who wants to keep her hands
from growing old should study meth
DDS for making them pink. The French
woman rouges them lavishly with a
kind of rouge that does not come off
on her handkerchief Rubbing them
with a rough Turkish towel is a safe
method.
A little cologne rubbed on the palms
will make most hands pink and per-
fume them at the same time. A few
drops of oil of pasniine diluted with
alcohol and delicately massaged into
the the wrists will scent ones sleeves
and makes the arms more supple.
The women of Europe display their
hands to much better advantage than
do the Americans. They express with
their hands what the American wom-
en- do with their eyes.
The ancients had the harp, which
almost seemed designed to display the
hands The Spanish woman has the
fan with which she gives expression
to her moods. She also has the man
tilla, by means of which she. shows
off the whiteness of her hands. The
French woman has her wonderful lace
handkerchief. The beautiful women
make free use of gestures, the grace
full movements of the hands, and in
this descriptive pantomine express
their every mood.

cards" have not been too numerous
this season, but Harry Lauder, the
famous Scotch comedian, has proved
one of the best requirements of Will
liam Morris, whose various theaters
have been packed at every perform
ance where Lauder sang his quaint
songs and told jokes in his inimical
Scotch way.
Now the Shuberts, through an ar
rangement with William Morris, Inc,
have secured Lauder for a prolonged
tour of their theaters and the ar
rangement began on Monday night,
when Mr. Lauder branched out as
star, with his own company, at the
West End theater. His program has
been rearanged so that it forms a
complete evenings entertainment, in
stead of the one-hour sketch he has
been presenting at the William Morris
vaudeville house LADDERS bookings

phia Albany, Syracuse and Roches-
ter, then follows a tour that will take
him to the Pacific coast.
To make up for the loss of Lauder,

London EASTWOOD began his engage
ment at the American MUSIC man
last Monday night, and is one of the
novelties of the week. From all ap-
pearances he will attract as many
theatergoers as his rival, for he is
indescriably amusing. EASTWOOD is
known as "London's Modern Beau
Brummel," and his American engage
ment is limited to several weeks.
That the New theater intends to
pereptuate the "stock company star

DAYTON, Wash, Dec. 9.-(Special.)
With an attendance rarely equalled
here, the funeral of DR.. Henry Day,
jr. who died suddenly at Tacoma
Monday, was held today at 10 O'Clock
from the First Congregational church,
the Rev. Harry E. Mason officiating.
The pallbearers were chosen from
among the friends of the young men
and added impressiveness to the sad
occasion. Burial was in the Dayton
cemetery. DR.. Day was born and
reared in Dayton. He has been a
practicng physician in Seattle and
Tacoma for three years.

For the second month since it's first
New York performance, Augustus
Thomas's popular play, 1.-THE Harvest
Noon is still proving that even the
Garrick theater is too small for a new
play by the author of Alabama"
Braced by the solid and unmistakable
prosperity of two months New York
engagement, Mr. Thomas's virile play,
besides stimulating great audiences
to fresh currents of thought, is provok-
ing an amazing amount Of discussion
by the new light it's author has shed
on an old evil, namely that even more
dangerous than positive suggestion,
which only inhibits the subject, is
that negative suggestion which drives
it's object upon the YER; evils against
which it warns him.

CARE FOR DAYTON YOUTHS

DAYTON, Wash, Dec. 9.-(Special)
Initial steps have been taken here
looking after the welfare of Dayton's
young men in a moral, mental and
physical way Organization Of a
Baracca class with a large member
ship has been affected under the di-
rection of the Young Mems class of
the First Baptist church. Any young
man in Dayton is eligible to member
ship. Dues will be charged sufficient
to cover the actual operating expenses
which will not be large.
The Baptist church has donated the
use of the basement of the brick
church for a gymnasium and club
room. Work of installing apparatus
and equipment for the gym and a
library will commence at once and
the new quarters will be ready for
occupancy within ten days. This
commendable step was taken by the
young men of the Baptist church on
account of the general awakening
mere to the fact that there are 400 or
500 young men in Dayton who need
the environment of such an organiza-
tion The organization of Y. M.
c. A. which was strongly talked Of,
has been abandoned temporarily. Ar
rangements have been made to keep
the reading rooms open at all hours
of the day and a feature of the
Baracca classes will be entertaining
at the homes of members. Homer
Samuel entertained last night.
These officers have been elected for
a Year: Homel Samuel, president;
L. A. Jarnagin, vice president; Rufus

ley, treasurer; Rev. B. c. Miller, in

1.-THE Dollar Princess" declared by
Charles F'rohman to be the best must
cal comedy production that he has
ever offered the public, will be one
hundred nights old on Monday, De-
cember 49, Despite the fact that 1.-The
Dollar Princess melodies have
stolen their way into the affections OF
New York audiences, the piece has
evidently come nowhere near accom-
modating, much less diminishing, it's
patronage. Mr.. Frohman has this
musical comedy down for an indefinite
season at it's present theater.
1.-The hot breath" play is what one
of those who have seen 1.-The Fourth
Estate" calls the pulsating perform
ance at Wallack's There is certain
ly no doubt that the play tingles with
the life of hustling newspaper office
and an age of big movements.
Charles Waldron, as the young news
paper man, who places loyalty to his
principles above even the plea of the
girl he loves, who happens to be the
daughter of corrupt judge, has won
a splendid distinction in the part.
Seldom has Lew Fields scored a
greater triumph than in his produc-
ton of "Old Dutch" at the Herald
Square theater. This delightful must
cal play affords Mr.. Fields opportuni-
ty for the exploitation of his unusual
ability as a low comedian, and never
has he had more cOngenial role than
that of the absent minded inventor,
is compelled to work about the Tyro-
lean Inn, together with his daughter
in mental capacities. Many amusing
complications afford Mr. Fields splen-
did scope for his talents, and enable
him to move his audiences from up
roarious laughter to the verge OF
tears, especially in his scene with the
children, which has in it that subtle
touch of pathos so seldom seen in
musical comedy Mr.. Hebert never
has written a better score than that Of
"Old Dutch" and already the town is
whistling and singing many of his
numbers.
