lice Of the Anacostia station. where
he was detected in an alleged at
tempt to hang himself in a cell. was
seen in Anacostia yesterday, but the
police were unable to arrest him. He
reappeared in the town early in the
morning and talked with some of his
companions. The authorities, while
not aware at this time of his where
abouts, expect to find him without
much difficulty.
The reported attempt at suicide
made by the young man, is now re-
garded by the police as being moth
ing more than a ruse to secure his
removal to a hospital. where the
chance of escape would be easier. as
proved to be the case. He did not
injure himself in the least by tying
his suspenders around his neck, and
when found was comfortably seated
on a bench instead of swinging from
the cell bars. Two charges involving
disorderly conduct on the streets are
filed against him.

VELVET AND SERGE

of fashion. By this time the Parisienne

now she is turning her attention to the
used in many shades and in black. Dark
wine color vies with sapphire blue and a

frocks are trimmed with pleatings and

black velvet. Buttons are featured on
these velvet gowns. They extend from the
collar to the hem.

STUDY YOUR FACE
IN A HAND MIRROR
To Learn if You Are Losing
Youth.

No woman can really form an unbiased
Judgment of her appearance by meeting
her own gaze steadily in the glass. The
noYelists will describe how the heroine
takes a long look at herself, noting her
features, one by one, and being satlsned
or not as the case may be; but really a
woman gets a very misleading impression
of her own looks If she conducts her eX-
animation on these lines.
Let her rest her elbows on the dressing
table, frame her face in her two hands,
and then gently press her hands, espe-
cially the tips of her little fingers, out
ward from her face.
If the sensation of rest is experienced,
If the contour of the face looks young
er, the cheeks fuller, the eyes less hag-
gard, the seeker after beauty must know
that she is in danger of losing her
youth, in which case this is good ex-
ercise to employ.
After resting the elbows on the table
and framing the face in the hands, sep
arate the little fingers, place them
against the sides of the nose and draw
them gently outward until they once
more lie close against the other fingers.
Repeat this massage several times until
the tired lines seem to relax.
The use Of the hand mirror will tell
more clearly than anything, if youth
and beauty are passing. II Is IN TINS
way. Looking full face in the dressing
table glass, a woman sees her face re-
Elected day after day and does not no.
tice the small details. 1t is just the
same as if we see a friend or member
Of the family every day We are not so
quick TO notice a gradual change Of
health, as one who sees him less con-
stantly; now, by viewing ones own face
by the aid of a hand mirror, one can
view 1t impartially almost as If it were
the face of another person. Its charms
and it's defects are apparent in way
they have never been before. One sees
instantly whether the hair is arranged
symmetrically or not, whether it is too
high on one side or too low on the other,
a fact never noticed before when look
ing full face in the glass.
Then there are perhaps hollows under
the eyes, lines round the mouth, a
tendency to double chin, and many other
departures from youthful beauty.
These can never be remedied as long
as the possessor remains in ignorance
of them. She who never uses a hand
glass as an aid to study her appearance
will continue at forty years of age to
see reflected her face at twenty 5The
daily changes are so gradual that they
will pass unnoticed by her. Study the
face by the aid of hand mirror every
few months and notice the ravages of
time. That is one of the first lessons
to be learned in the art of beauty.

By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

There is some one you dislike; some
one who jars upon your nerves; some
one Of whom you disapprove, and when
ever the name Of that individual is men
toned you are conscious Of disagree
able sensation.
1t is never a source Of happiness to
dislike any one.
There is always a penalty attached to
an aversion.
And quite unconsciously to most Of US
there is a slow but sure degeneration
taking place in our characters when we
give much thought to the people we dis
like, because we are grating upon our
natures some portion OF those disagree
able traits and qualities which occupy
our minds.
We become, to greater or less degree,
like the things of which we think and
talk.
If. therefore, you think and talk a great
deal about the faults and failures OF
your friends (or your enemies), you are
grating a branch Of poison ivy on the
vine OF your own heart.
This is a scientific fact.
Every thought has its effect on our
natures, just as every moment spent in
practice of music or painting is forming
our habits in those arts.
An Interesting Experiment.
The art of character building is the
greatest and most important art and
profession in life, so is it a matter of
serious moment how we do this work.
No one of US finds it possible to like
every person we meet. There are people
so unlovable, so aggressive so unpleas-
ant to encounter, that one would be made
Of stone who did not recognize their re-
pellent traits.
Yet were we to set about looking for
some agreeable quality in those antago-
nistic personalities we would find them.
This, then. should be our work
The moment we encounter a disagree
able or even an unattractive individual,
II we have time to give that person any
thought at all, let us turn the mind to-
ward a path of exploration and seek for
something worth praising.
And finding it. let US speak of it.
Then having spoken of It, let us think
OF this quality whenever the person
occurs to us as an object of criticism.
1t will prove an interesting experiment
and will help another while We help
ourselves.
There is nothing more disastrous in
the way OF mental processes than dwell
ing on the ugly, painful and disagree
able side OF life. 1t is not only a waste
Of time and energy, but 1t IS a criminal
waste Of these precious things.
1t does no good, and it does great harm.
Must Mention DIsagreeabIe.
There are occasions and situations
where the dark and painful and disa-
greeable things of life must be mention
ed; must be recognized. that they may
be changed.
The child who falls in the dirt of the
street must be recognized as soiled
child, needing to be washed and clothed
in fresh garments. 1t would be folly to
smile and say: Run along, child; you

impossible to wash them satisfactorily
at home. and dry cleaning is too ex-
pensfve."
Is that your experience? II so, try the
following method OF washingl and you'll
soon change your mind. Flannel blouses
washed in this way look really "as good
as new" afterward.
First, make a stock of soup jelly by
shredding one pound of good yellow soap
into one quart of boiling water. Simmer
till dissolved. When cold II will be a
jelly, and If kept tightly covered will be
ready for use at any time.
Now for the actual washing. Allow a
heaped tablespoonful of this soap jelly
to each half-gallon of water needed.

nize its own need OF bath, but others
would recognize 1t, without making the
changes necessary to its best well-being
But 1t would be an even greater folly
to sit for days and weeks dwelling in
thought on the accident which had be-

data of other similar accidents to other
children. forgetting all the beautiful

ing over the earth.
That is precisely what thousands Of in
telligent human beings are doing with,
their minds and voices.
They are emphasizing the faults, fol-
lies, and misdeeds of the people they
know. especially the people they dislike,
and they are ignoring the lovely things
which exist all around US everywhere.
They are doing nothing to lessen or
change the evils they deplore, but are
preparing their own natures to develop
the same traits by continually talking
Of them.
Accent the Agreeable.
If you know some one you dislike very
much, begin to-day and look for some
praiseworthy quality in that person to
think about and to talk about.

BRUSSELS NET FOUNDATION
FOR LOVELY EMBROIDERY

She who is clever with her needle can
make Der own transparent yokes, stock
collars, and long undersleeves.
Brussels net is employed as a foun-
dalton, and the embroidery is done with
many strands of flo silk. or perhaps with
very soft narrow ribbon. Gold and sill
yer threads are also employed in this
work. making most effective trimming
for the corsage Of the evening gown.
Pearl beads, glass beads, and all sorts
of imitation jewels are used in the deco
ration. The groundwork is given a
damascened effect by darnfng In irreg-
ular lines with strands Of zcolored floss.
Then with ribbon or heavy silk you
can embroider a pretty design around
n central point where bead or Jewel
is affixed.
If you desire to use the net without
an edging OF lace or fat embroidery, put
on an edge of tiny beads or series Of
beads forming scallooped edge.

CONTEST ENDS NOW
In A FEW HOURS
Prize Awards Will Be An
noUnced November 26.
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.


The whole country is in love with the
little children of Washington, because
of their beauty and their charming, win
some ways.
They have simply wiggled their way
into everybody's heart, and now they
will march upon the judges, an army
OF almost two thousand strong. and they
will employ all the wiles of happy,
healthy, innocent babyhood to entangle
the hearts of these professional and bust
ness men who have been selected to
award the go prizes offered in the Bor-
den Baby Contest to the most beautiful
babies of Washington.
The contest will close at midnight to
day.
Which means, dear mother. who has
procrastfnated until the very last mo-
ment, that your hours are now mum :
bered.
The time that remains to you to enter
your own little darling in this great con-
test is very short, but still long enough
to permit you to bring or send a pic
ture to The Herald Office if you have one
in your possession.
LOng-tO-be-rememb Contest.
The chiIdren's crusade to the end of
the rainbow has been an event in the
child history of Washington that is not
likely to be forgotten in many years to
come, for letters continue to pour in
from all over the country commenting
on the splendid success of The Herald
undertaking, and expressing pride in the
infantile citizens Of the Nations Capt.
tai
Now that the contest is closing. I want
to say a word of praise in behalf of
the parents of the children who have
been entered in the Borden Baby Con-
test They have been very patient, and
have cO-operated nobly in making the
undertaking a success.
Their cooperation is still requested.
for the judges cannot re"iew a vast
army of babies in just a few hours, and
give each little entrant the careful con-
sideration he or she deserves.
Announcement OF Prize Winners.
1t is not to your interest that they
shall be hurried in the least, so that it
has been decided not to announce the
prize awards until Sunday, November e
The judges feel that this will give
them ample time to become thoroughly
acquainted with each winsome lad and
lassie given into their keeping to-mor-
row; plenty Of time to arrive at careful
judgments in the matter OF beauty.
So, dear little children who have gone
forth on the pilgrimage to find the end
Of the rainbow and the wealth of prizes
there, you will have to stay on the
happy waiting land just a little while
before you will be given the pot of gold
and the other fine things that are 60
ing to be won by 300 of Washingtons
lovely children.

Cleaning Fly-blown Ceilings.

Many present-day housewives have
two cleanings in the year. Certainly
after a very hot summer the flies and
dust are found to have made great
havoc of our walls and freshly white
washed ceilings. Yet few people know
that the latter can be most beautifully
cleaned by dough, as the former by
stale bread. Mix some ordinary dough,
very stiff, just soft enough to be work
able, but in no wise wet, and rub all
the unmarked cornices. ceilings, friezes,
or chandelier tops well with it. After
ward powder these over with a cloth
dipped in dry flour. Bread rubbed on
the most hopeless looking papered walls
has marvellous results also; but for color
wash dough is even better.

Revival of Tafetas.

The prominence given in France by
dressmakers in general this year to taft
fetas will have a tendency to bring about
the revival in this country next year,
says the Dry Goods Economist. The ten

will also help tafretas in regaining their
former popularity.
