buildings for all these schools, which, II
not as costly or as fully satisfactory as
similar buildings elsewhere, are ve0

In 1900 there were no municipal or pub
lie school Fairgrounds. Now, while not so
fully equipped in this respect as some
other cities, Washington has enough play
ground work to see the value of it and
the need for better facilities.
Since 1900 there has been a steady in
crease in school facilities. an increase In
the salaries Of teachers and provision for
the extension of manual training through
out the schools.
In 1900 there was no provision for the

Public Business Methods.

Since 1900, as the result of inquiries by
the Commissioners. through committees
Of departmental officers and personally.
improvements have been made in the
business methods of the District govern
ment, and some of the departments have
been entirely reorganized. Special action
of Congress was obtained for the reor-
ganization of the police, fire and cleo
trical departments. In 1900 there was no
fire prevention inspection and no inspec-
ton Of electrical installations. This has
been secured to the great advantage OF
the city.
The program of legislation for improv-
ing the conditions in the District of Co
lumbia which the Commissioners have
been pressing upon Congress has not been
entirely completed. They will renew
their recommendations for the improve
ment. of the AnacoStia basin, the i'm
provement of the water front, the i'm
provement of the Rock Creek valley, the
extension Of the water and sewer sys-
TENS. the high-pressure fire protection
service for the heart of the city, the cad
ditions to the District hospital and the
completion of the park system.
They will also renew their recommen-
datiOn for a civil service law, for the
regulation of public utility corporations,
for the Improvement of the excise law,
for the Improvement Of sanitary condi-
tions through the health department., and
especially the better protection of the
of the charity system, for the regulation

LAST CLASS FOR 1909
MYSTIC SHRINERS HOLD
GRAND CEREMONIAL.
Speakers at Customary Banquet, Fol-
lowing Initiation, Are Confound-
ed With New Departure.

The last grand ceremonial session for
1900 was held, by Almas Temple of the
Mystic Shrine at National Rifles Armory
last night. Even the faces of the neo-
phytes or wandering sons of the desert
who were to be converted into true
believers wore looks less expressive Of
anxiety and care when preparing for the
mystic flight that inevitably precedes the
traditional banquet"
When Illustrious Potentate Louis Addi
son Dent turned over to Master of the
Meats Ed Schneider temporary charge,
it is reported that Mr.. Schneider pro-
ceeded to call upon the well known ora
tors of Almas for their customary
offerings. AS each in turn arose to ad-
dress the assemhlage. prepared to deliver
something impressive and appropriate,
massed chorus of approximately 600 lusty
voices took up his theme and disposed Of
it in their own way to the tune and words
of popular airs
In vain did such speakers as Past Po-
tentaes Roe FulkersOn. Frank Sebring,
Carter r. Keene. Jacobus S. Jones and
others endeavor to stem the tide of song
that stayed their oratOry.
Altogether the night was a merry one
and before the Shrine MuezZin called out
the midnight hour of prayer all was we'll
and good humor was in full sway.

TEA TABLE NOVELTIES

A girl who has her own tea table can
make II, much more attractive by often
having little novelties. All girls like
to try something new, and the new
things become by and by regular raw
critics. One of these novelties, which
is a favorite with one of the very pref
test girls who ever presided over tea
table, is to put about half a spoonful
of orange marmalade in cup of tea.
1t gives a delicious flavor and is a
change from the usual slice of lemon.
Many persons have served marmalade
sandwiches with tea, but 1t is newer TO
use the marmalade in the tea and some
other kind of sandwiches. Those made
with a nut paste would be good, or pate
de foie gras. Swedish waters buttered
and heated would also be delicious.
Some girls do not care for tea ana
are very fond of chocolate, so 1t is a
good plan to serve chocolate, too, for
ones friends. 1t can either be done by
having the chocolate sent up from the
kitchen all made or by using an in
Simultaneous chocolate for unexpected
company. The latter is made by pour
ing boiling water over it just like tea,
except that it must be stirred until dis
solved.
And with the chocolate another
novelty can be used. A marshmallow
dropped into hot chocolate gives an I'M
usual and unique flavor which is much
enjoyed by many persons. A very
charming addition to a girls tea table
would be two little glass jars which she
could keep supplied with the marsh
malIows and marmalade.

struggling and uneven if the lids are
infiamed. This is the primary cause
of most of the poor growth of lashes.
Examine the eyelids, and if they are
red and infiamed take the measures
to relieve this Inflammation.
Many times one or two hairs VIII
grow in toward the eyeball; these will
cause great irritation and should be
removed by means of pincers. Clip
the ends of the lashes with fine curved
scissors. 1t is difficult to do this for
ones self, and it must be very care
fully done, not to cut them too much.
Vaseline is excellent to promote the
growth of the lashes and the eye
brows.
One cannot do much to promote the
outward curve of the lashes, which is
the desirable way to have them grow,
but with the fingers one can shape the
eyebrows If the hairs grow out of
the proper line or become coarse and
long, they can be removed with
tweezers. The hair of the eyebrows
retain the color long after the hair of
gray eyebrows detract from the APP
pearance, and not only is it justifiable
to darken them, but it is an easy
process, as 1t can be done with pomade
pencils which come for the purpose.

SOME TIMELY HAT HINTS

A Philadelphia milliner, according to
a paper published in that city, mas a
hing in a Gilt frame above one OF the
mirrors in her establishment. The
rules are: ou
"Don't wear a big hat with small
face. a.
"Don't wear a hat turned down In
front with a turn-up nose.
Don't wear with long face a nat
that sets back from the forehead.
"Don't wear with a full figure ana a
round red countenance big, bright hat
trimmed with a profusion Of feathers

To these rules this milliner attrlp-
utes a great part of her success.

he Final Point of Attractiveness in Won,an' Face

would be useful to alternate with the
vaseline applications.
Several correspondents have written
me about the dark circles which trou-
BILE them under their eyes, Generally.
these circles occur as the result of
overfatigue. They are more often seen
in brunettes, whose small blood YES
sells which surround the eye must be
nearer the surface. l would advise
those subject to the dark circles to
avoid overfatigue. Many are af-
fiicted with puffiness under the eyes
This is often due to inammation of
the lower lid, and puffiness will be
for irritation.
Massaging the Eyes
Massage will help give a tone to the
skin. Lightly smooth the skin, while
exerting gentle pressure with the fore
finger and middle finger of each hand
applied to the corresponding eye. Also
rub with a circular motion the wrinkles
and crow's-feet that come at the COR
ners of the eyes. A few of these
movements when washing the face
night and morning will greatly help to
preserve the eyes and to eliminate the
wrinkles.
It is a great trial to have to wear
eyeglasses, but one should not regard
them as such, but should be thankful
for the perfection to which these aids
to the sight have been carried in our
day. Women make a mistake in try
ing to put off the time when, owing
to their years, they have to wear
them. 1t is very hard on the eyes to
go without glasses when they are
needed.
The best beatifier of the eyes is a
happy, optimistic nature. 1t gives a
brightness and light which nothing
else can supply.

WOMEN AND THEIR WORK

The woman suffrage movement in
England brings to light some interest
ing facts about woman's work.
In London women are employed in
the tramway and omnibus service, in
what capacity, by the way, the census
return does not state; but at any rate,
eighty members of the fair sex earn
their living in this trade.
Four hundred and twenty daughters
of Eve belong to the merchant service,
and work as seamen, pilots and boat
men. Two hundred and twenty-four of
them are married or widowed.
Animal slaughtering is, on the face
ofAit, a highly unsuitable kind of work
for women, but it is curious fact that
there are three women employed in
that vocation.
There are ITO lady scavengers and
crossing sweepers; while the fact that
there is a possibility of the familiar
chimney sweep being ousted from his
profession i" shown by the information
that fifty-four women are doing this
sooty work today.-Illustrated Sunday

What the Modern Lent Means
to the Average Society Woman
DAVID RYUS
T oDERN Lent to the fashionable quite so I

quite so frequently as before Lent
opened The opera house managers,
however, do not suffer seriously for her
allegiance and it is really remarkable
how many of the theatrical perform
ances during Lent assume educational
qualities which are not apparent at
other seasons of the year.
But yet she intends to keep Lent, and
in her own way no doubt makes gen.
uine sacrifices which puzzle the mascu-
line observer who cannot grapple with
the intricate inconsistency of the fem
mime mind.
If she belong to the rigid Conformist
type she will still eschew fashionable
entertainments, but she is not blind to
the benefit in health she is deriving
from this temporary suspension of So
cial activities. Nor is her time and
thought altogether given to religion
either. If she attend a fair proportion
of the services in her church she Is
happy in the belief that moderation is
an excellent attitude to assume regard

long time, it is difficult TO ever restore
them again to condition where they
will not show.
Battle the Eyes Frequently
Those who have a tendency to this
Inflammation should find out the cause
so as to correct 1t in order to have fine
looking eyes, and, what is more, useful
eyes. Avoid eye strain from too long
use in bad light. Avoid the strain that
comes from wearing heavily dotted
wells or those with intricate meshes
which try the eyes and destroy their
looks more than women realize.
1t strengthens the eyes very much to
battle them either in very hot water or
in very cold. Better yet is to take
pieces of absorbent cotton founded and
made into little pads to fit the eyes,
dip them in ice water and place them
on the lids, changing them as they be-
come hot. After few minutes of such
treatment the eyes will feel comforted
and relieved to a great degre.
This is especially grateful to the eyes
after riding in the wind or after having
been subjected to the dust and cinders
of a railway or the glare of bright re-
Elections on the water when on a boat.
Those who have a tendency to weak
eyes should daily use an eyecup, in
which is placed some water slightly
sailed or a boracic acid solution. The
saturated solution diluted one-half is
generally the best, and should be made
fresh for each eye. The eye should be
opened and shut in the solution half O
dozen times or more, so that it will
thoroughly battle the eyeball as well as
the lids.
Caring for the Eyebrows
The eyelashes and eyebrows next
come up for consideration. The eye-
lashes are bound to be scanty and
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-16

nF ALL the features of the face
ID the eyes receive the least care,
" probably because 1t is believed
that little can be done to improve their
appearance. This is a great mistake.
An otherwise ugly or plain face can be
redeemed by the eyes. The coloring or
the eyes. like that of the hair, is made
to match the complexion, and every one
should believe the fundamental fact
that the color of the eyes which he or
she has is just the right thing.
However, the effect of the color or
the eyes can be greatly enhanced by
the color of the dress or accessories
worn around the face. Experiment with
silks or ribbons and find what Is your
color" Brown eyes are helped by
shades of brown and yellow; blue eyes
with certain shades of blue; but one
must bear in mind that it is not every
shade of the blue or the brown that
helps accentuate the color OF the eyes,
for some will deaden their color and
take all brightness and expression
from them.
Matching the Color of the Eye
This is especially the case with blue
eyes. Those who make study of APP
pearance should never forget to put
near the face, so that the eyes Will
reHect IL, just THAT Sildue VI ioiAh6
which will bring out that of the eyes.
The whites of the eyes should be of a
clear blue Wilderness, and the blood
vessels should not show. When they
do it means an Inflammation of the
delicate cobweb tissue which covers the
whites of the eyes and lines the lids.
When the eyes are strand by over
work, or the use of wrong glasses, this
membrane becomes infiamed, and its
tiny vessels enlarge. If the infiamma-
ton occurs often or continues for a
