Our American women dress we'll
But not so well as the French.
This may seem strange to some
who are used to hearing sensational
looking dress or hat called
"Frenchy"--a great injustice. The
French women are not "Frenchy;"
they are no more conspicuous as a
nation than our own women, and are
more successful.
Why? Certainly our own women
are as clever as the French and their
tastes are highly cultivated.
What is the difference? One OF
The first thing a French girl Is taught
as an essential part of her education
Is that II is a crime not TO look as
well as possible. And so from her
earliest youth the mind of the French
woman begins to dwell upon her
clothes; in a more or less systematic
way she studies everything that
comes around to her with regard to
her own personal appearance. She
studies the styles carefully-their
origin, their growth; she understands
the style at ever stage, and masters
the style so thoroughly that she is
able to make better use of Il than
any one else with equal taste or clev-
erness but with not so thorough an
of the style.
Our American women. on the
other hand. are much occupied with
other things and are willing to use
cleverly and tastefully the different
elements of choice afforded by the
style-makers of the season. They use
them, to be sure, in their independent
fashion. preferring their own judg-
ment to a suggestion made by even
the greatest authorities; but 1t goes
without saying that they are not able
to use these styles so well as IL they
thoroughly understood them.
This is not so true as IL was ten
years ago, but IL is true enough, and
improvement on dress lies along the
lines of better understanding the
styles. A woman who makes herself

HAPPY RESULTS OBTAINED.
by the Use OF the New Scalp Anti
septic.

II wouldn't take long to number
the hairs in the heads OF some peo-
pie, the reason being they haven't
many to number. In most instances,
however, the fault is their own. A
germ at the root soon plays havoc
with the most luxuriant growth and
causes it to fade and fall out. A rem
edy for this has recently been discov-
cred, called Newbro's Herpicide, that
acts by destroying the germ that does
the damage, besides removing all i'm
purities from the scalp. In addition
il permits new life and vigor to en-
ter the scalp. and happy results are
sure to be obtained from It's use. Try

DRUG STORE WHISKY.

Sunday whisky selling by GER
tain druggists is getting TO a
point. where drastic punishment
should be meted out to them. We
can conceive of nothing that is
morally lower than the sort OF traffic
they are carrying on. They cheat
the city; they desecrate the Sab
bath: theys'wrong humanity; they
lie to themselves. their God and the
community they rob the families Of
their customers, and they wrong
saloon keepers, who pay a heavy
license and obey the law by closing
on Sunday. 1t is difficult traffic to
stop. and yet 1t must be stopped. It
seems that men, who have no honor
above engaging in that Illicit trade.
like harlots. for the sake of the dirty
money II brings them, don't mind
going into police court and paying
small fine when they get large
profits from the business.
Fortunately there are few drug
gists engaged in this Illicit traffic.
Saloon keepers pay $500 a year
license and are compelled to close on
Sundays and late at night. Now, the
community cannot afford to permit
druggists to sell whisky without any
license at all at those times, when
the saloons are compelled to close.
Hereafter, The Sun will not con-
ceal the name of any druggist. who
Is arrested on the charge. We will
do our share in applying the remedy
OF publicity to the offense. We think.
too, the law should be changed. maxi
ing imprisonment in the workhouse
the exclusive penalty. Filming these
fellows does no good. They have no
honor; but perhaps a workhouse sen
tence would discourage others from
engaging In so perilous occupation.
