raj Phenomenon.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-American women

logical phenomenon when they use
face powder, according to statements
made by Prof u. G. Weatherly Of
Indiana university. He makes the
statement in an article on Race and
Marriage" in the current number of
the American Journal of Sociology.
Professor Weatherly declares the
women are actuated by the same mo.
tives as savages who paint their skin
black.
Mems ideals of beauty usually are
found in the best type of what they
themselves are, and what they find
most useful" he says. For this rea-
son, traits which especially charac-
terize a group are often artiticially ex.
aggerated for purpose of ornament.
Dark races blacken the skin. Tall
races increase the stature by special
footwear. Flatnosed people further
flatten the nose. White women use
face powder"

WOMEN GAINING IN BEAUTY.
Exercise is Doing 1t, Says William M.
Chase, an Artist.

New York, Feb. 7.-William NJ.
Chase, famous artist, was shown the
statement today of Prof. Dudley A.
that women are gaining physically
on the men, and may soon be the
stronger sex. He said There can't
be any doubt of it in the world. I've
been noticing the change for a long
time, and the sane habit of exercise
of the present generation is forming
new type of women, with more ply
sical perfection, therefore, more
strength, more beauty.
"Yes-yes yes, he's right, But he
doesn't tell the most important part
of it-for most women, anyway. That
is, that in gaining in strength, women
are also gaining in beauty. American
women, particularly, are becoming
more beautiful every day. ! abso-
lutely mean every word | say when
tell you that in no quarter of the
globe-nowhere in the world, is Il
beauty comparable with that of the
athletic American woman of today"
HtH you uOn luIllh, WlJn many
that the intellectual pursuits which
naturally follow when women gain
added strength take away anything
from the deicacy of their beauty?" he
was asked.
no-no-no-no!" exclaimed
Mr., Chase. Il cannot possibly make
that too strong. Why should a woman
who uses her brain become less beauti-
ful? 1t only gives her more soul
and soul is the life of beauty"
What is your idea of the ideal
American type of beautiful women"
The athletic one by all means an
swered the artist decidedly, and they
don't come from any particular part
of America"

FUR COlFS A PARIS VOGUE.
Beauty and the Beast Meet in the
Latest Hair Advancement


Paris, Feb. 7.-Beauty and the beast
meet in the newest arrangements in
the dressing of the hair in Paris. The
fur cOiffure is now the popular thing
with the women who keep abreast of
the fashions. 1t supplements the work
of the rat" and serves to produce a
pyramidal effect which attracts atten.
ton if nothing else.
The use of furs in the coiffure is an
outgrowth of their adoption in mili-
merry. In the latter Office there is such
a grotesque eXaggeration that the mil.
linery was put out of court entirely
where rational human beings, blessed
with the sense or proportions, were
concerned
Top-heavy fur helmets, hiding the
forehead and the eyebrows, and leav.
ing very little of the coiffure visible,
We're extensively worn a few weeks
ago. To such an extreme were these
conceits carried that almost the en-.
tire upper part of the head was ex-
tinguished. Even the blindest de,
vOtees of fashion saw little to admire
in this and demanded change
The furs themselves had won popu.
larity, however, so some genius
evolved the fur coiffure. Now it is
the hair and its decorations which
play the conspicuous part, while the
headgear is less in evidence than form,
erly. These bandeauX are winning
great favor than did the helmets.

Gain under proposed co.opera-

Total saving per month for single
merchant, $254; saving for one mer.
chant for one year. $3,O4S.
Thus, according to Mr.. Diers, the
merchants of Nebraska are wasting
annually sum which alone adds to
the total cost of living in the state.
This Madison merchant, who has been
instrumental in working out locally a
cooperative plan which makes the saw
ing possible, has the names of 1000
other merchants in the state, every
one of whom can save $3,04S each year
or $6,096000. This amount is now
wasted and makes an increase in the
cost of necessities of life bought from
the country merchants. Mr.. Diers is
not taking into account the thousands
of small dealers who do not do a bust
ness large enough in volume to make
the saving-but he claims there are
1000 merchants in the state who do
such a business.
Under the name of the "Federation
of Nebraska Retailers" these men
have been invited to meet in Omaha
March s, 9 and 10 and they are to
hear from the experts who are inter
ested in the organization, just how the
saving can be made. Wholesalers and
