LITTLE PROBLEMS OF

What Is This Passion Lover

The one who could define love salts
factorily would find his name ranking
high in the annals OF the great Al

ophers, poets, writer's, and thinkers OF
all degrees have taken a try az f. Yet
the guessing game goes on. The cold
blooded scientist says Il is q disease.
The young spell Il Romance. alI in capital
letters. Some call II trouble and steer
carefully away from IT, The cynical
say II IS proplnquity plus imagination.
Prlm spinsters and bachelors sniff scorn-
fully and describe It as sickly sentl-
ment induced by trashy novel-reading
Those who have experienced Il in its
purity and beauty say II is the greatest
thing IN the world. Never vet has the
heart OF man found a satisfactory defini-
ton.
Probably II never Will. for ones con-
cepuon OF love grows as he grows. The
love a Chinaman or Turk feels for his
wife is vastly different from the emo
ton Of the American man. Whatever
may be the word IN the Chinese or Turk
ish languages for love, no doubt the Chi
nese Of Turkish husband believes Il ex-
presses the sentiment he feels for his
wife. Even in our own land there are
gradations Of love. The love OF the cul-
tured man Of high ideals is quite an
other matter from that Of the man who is
good-natured when his meals are cook
ed to his liking, but who beats his wife
when they are not. Yet. no doubt, this
latter type believes he loves his wife
and that in providing food and a home
he is doing his whole duty by her.

EXTREMES NOT FOR WORKERS
Dutch Necks and Such Styles Are
Not Correct for Office Wear.

Not Correct Tor Office wear.
From the New Yoyk Telegram
It IS 10 be hoped girls who belong 70
the business world viii not adopt extreme
styles OF clothes for wear during Office
hours. For example. however pretty the
square or round Dutch" necks may be.
they are entirely inappropriate for wear
IN an Office. And II Dame Grundy does

COLUMBIA THEATER
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

A correspondent asked NE If I could
assure her that equal parts Of rosewater
and lemon juice, used three times each
week would make the complexion all
that is to be desired, and my reply Is
an emphatic no. I should say that such
a mixture would ruin the texture OF the
face skin. which is very delicate. despite
general belief. The skin Of the hands is
much tougher. and 1t would not be harm
full in that proportion If used on the
hands and II it would contain some glyce-
rim to soften the skin.
I do not believe in allowing the com
plexion 10 care for itself, although that
is better than taking chances with IN
tried beautifers. Good skins are not
common and where they exist the owners
have much difficulty in preserving them
after youth has departed. Modern life Is
continually at war with the body, and
only knowledge and care can safeguard
them properly The water in which we
battle is hard. dust is fine and penetrat-
ing. and soaps are far from being pure
and harmless, so other cleansing agents
are necessary for absolute cleanliness.
A clean skin Is attractive, even though
peppered with freckles or coated with
tan. A porous skin is not clean-the
mere fact Of the pores being conspicuous
speaks eloquently OF their need Of atten-
ton There is no good reason for wear
ing such a skin, for I have never yet
seen one that would not yield TO intelli-
gent care. There are pure face creams
on the market and formulas by which
cream can be made at home. Every
druggist of any pretensions makes q
standard cream of almond oil, rosewater.
white wax, and spermaceti, s7d 1t re-
fines the skin. but will not encourage a
growth Of hair. It is not cheap and it
VIII not keep indefinitely but it can be
purchased IN such small quantities that
the danger Of waste Is eliminated.
The best time to treat the skin is at
night before retiring. Some skins will
not stand soap. but warm water Is enough
to open the pores and remove surface
dirt. Then comes the cold cream. rubbed
into the skin with a rotary motion Of the
fingers. which should be warm. A soft
towel will remove the cream and its bur-
den Of dirt. yet leave a slight film which
is to remain over night. warm face
bath, followed by a cold dash, in the
morning Is all that is required, unless the
skin inclines TO shininess. in which case a
little powder Is necessary.
That sounds simple. and is simple, and
will surely make the skin fine and white
have seen good results from using this
| treatment only twice a week. and I know
whole families where there is not a poor
skin. and this cream is all the beautifler
used. II is made at home because il is
needed in quantity A few drops II tine
ture Of benzoin. or tiny pinch Of borax,
are sometimes added 10 increase the
virtue of the cream, and If I did not
know just how tickle women are I would
be tempted to make this cream for the
public and earn a nice little income. But
this is what I know-the cream might do
all that was asked for 1t. yet It would
be cast aside for every new preparation
that was held up TO feminine inspection.

Passing the Tray.

From the Deneator,
one of the most attractive features Of
modern hotel and restaurant service IS
what is known as the passing or the
tray" This is now quite a matter Of
course at many fashionable establish
ments, whether the time be the luncheon.
the tea, or the dinner hour.
On this tray are arranged an artistic
assortment of morsels Of pastry. each
one on its own small dolly OF lace paper
or fine linen, the effect being often ex-
tremely decorative
When this tray is not in actual use It
is usually placed in some conspicuous
spot, where It's contents may be exam
ined as one enters OF leaves the dining
room. Such inspection Is well worth
while, and is considered quite the proper
thing.
Examination suggests to the housewife
many an idea for her own table or for
entertainments.

Carl Burgruber, wine dealer, was away
In Smyrna when he heard the news, but

She was thus legally entitled to enter

In the Sewing Room.

Sewing on laces-It is not always an
easy matter to sew lace on a plain edge
when the lace is to be shirred. There is
in almost every lace stout thread on the
plain edge OF the lace. and this thread is
for tho purpose Of gathering the lace.
Simply pull the thread until the lace has
been gathered sufficiently. and then stroke
It 10 get the gathers even. The lace is
then ready 10 be sewed 10 the edge. Many
gather the lace by hand, because they do
not know OF this thread. which shirrs It
more evenly than IL can be done by hand.

Insomnia Is the not uncommon fate OF
the brainworlZer who, after years of con-
tinuous mental strain. retires from active
live The reason IS that mental activity
demands a large supply Of blood for the
BRAIN and the blood vessels gradually
accommodate themselves TO this large
supply But when the hard work Is over
the brain does not always realize that
It needs less nourishment, and hence the

 This action has raised in the minds of many the following query: Did

 teen pairs of scales the trust robbed 100000, and after being exposed ad- n1itted the crime by returning the
 plunder, and four of them have now

He took the view that an investigation might
 give immunity to the men high up. Rep. Henry T.. Rainey of Illinois led the fight for the probe of the
 swind1e, contending that instead of l assuring immunity. for the big thieves, an investigation would only bring out their identity.
 It developed that the President recommended against nvestigatfon of l the sugar trusts crime upon the ad-
 vice of United States Attorney Gen.
 eral George c. Wickersham.
 l MT. Wickersham was particularly
 qualified to give the President advice 1 ing the sugar trust. At the time of his appointment to the position of I attorney general-an office which places him in complete and absolute 1 charge of the prosecutions of trusts l l-he was a sugar trust attorney. | MP. Wickersham and Henry W. Taft, the brother of President Taft
 were members of the firm of Strong
 & Cadwallader of New York. For
 torney Henry w. Taft received $26,- | 750, which he turned over to Strong
 & CadWa11ader, and the last thing l MT. Wickersham did before starting 1 in to represent the people was to l draw down and pocket his share of 1 the sugar trust fee.

CHILD DIES OF LoCKJAw.
Attack Followed Vaccination Prior to
 Her Admission to Public School.

Her Admission to Public School.
 Minnie Parker, six and g. half years old, of 3250 Aramingo street, died yesterday in the Episcopal Hospital from tetanus..
 The child was vaccinated on Sep tember i so that she could be ad- nitted to the Ha1lowen Public School, at Frankfort avenue and Lippincott street. No serious symptoms were noticed in the chAd's condition until Friday, when her jaws became rigid, and she was taken to the Episcopal Hospital Since Friday the child has suffered agony, as there was scarcely anything the physicians could do to alleviate the pain, and death was a relief. from her suffering. Her friends say the cause was undoubtedly due to the vaccination.
