nose and the contour of the eye, We
all know the fretful mouth, the furtive
eye, the inquisitive nose. And none
of these things are beautiful.
The woman, therefore, who desires
beauty should not only give her atten-
ton to the physical necessities for
it. but also to those that are mental.
And as mental states are altogether
within ones power to control. no
oma need feel that the quest for
beauty for her is hopeless. BY ac-
curing right mental states she will
first of all affect herself physically. so
that her complexion, her eyes, her
lips, her whole physical self, will i'm
prove. But most important of all, she
can give her face the spiritual beauty
which outweighs all else in the final
count for charm.-Barbara Boyd, in

WHO THE "BLUENOSES" ARE
Explanation That Possibly May End
a Mls~conception That Has Been
Widespread.

Lots Of you folks in the States"
said Thomas F. Mccartney of st.
John, N. b., the other day, call every
body from the maritime provinces
'bluenoses.' That's not it at ell. It's
only the Nova Scotians that we cal
so. And it's not because the people
there have blue noses, either.
If have met people here who really
thought that folks down east were so
called because their noses were al
ways blue on account of the cold, raw
climate they suppose prevails there.
"The fact is the term 'bluenoses'
was first given to the inhabitants OF
the CORVALLIS valley, who were the
original raisers of a potato called the
'bluenose' from it's blush skin. This
potato was shipped to the states in
large quantities, and the name of the
potato became the name of the people
who raised it,"

Luncheon Set.

The engaged girl In the city has ex-
cellent chances to make an extreme
ly attractive luncheon set at small
cost by attending sales and selecting
from the mussed and odd doilies all
sizes which have ordinary plain seal
lops, says the Ladies' Home Journal.
Buy six or a dozen OF the ten-inch
size for plate doilies. not bothering to
match the stamped patterns SO long
as the scallops match. II you choose
the ordinary scallop you can match
them In six or four-inch size for tum-
bier doilies. and in IL. IS or 2O-inch
size for the centerpiece. Launder
them to get out the stamping, then
mark anu enbroider each with a
pretty initial or monogram. In differ.
emit sizes proportionate for each dol
ly, and you have a lovely luncheon
set at very little cost. You will be
able to get the smaller doilies al Ave
cents and sometimes two for Eve
cents. whereas you would pay 81. ,
to 50 for a matched set simply
stamped.

BEAUTY'S CHIEF FOES
MENTAL INFLUENCE MORE SERI

What the Face Expresses Is of More
Moment Than Shape of Nose or
Briiliancy of the Com
plexion.

That there are many physical foes TO
beauty, everyone knows wrong food.
bad ventilation, insufficient sleep and a
host of other ills. They will damage
ones physical good looks to a consid.
cradle extent. But far more seri-
Gus i'll their effects are the mental
Toes to beauty. For the spirit is more
than the body, and what the face ex-
presses is of more moment than the
shape or the nos or the brilliancy of
the complexion.
The fact, physically attractive, but
spoiled by its expression, is familiar.
Many a girl with faultless features
and a rose-leaf complexion spoils all
their beauty by a peevish, discomfort
ed or vapid expression. On the 9th.
er hand, many a girl with a snub nose
and a sallow complexion wins all by
the sunny lovableness of her face. The
expression counts very large in sum
ming up the factors that compose
beauty.
In the quest. then, for beauty that
so many women go upon ceaselessly,
this matter of the value OF mentality
should be taken into account. If those
who seek beauty will acquire right
mental states, they will do as much.
perhaps more, toward accomplishing
their desire as they will by securing
the right masseuse or the right facial
cream.
The mental states that are foes to
beauty are many. We all indulge in
them more or less, and by so doing
detract to just hat extent from the
beauty we are trying to acquire.
Again, anger, irritability, envy. ieal
ousy, hatred. fear, suspicion, depres-
sion-all these and many others of
the same nature have a bad effect
upon the looks.
1t is now known that these mental
states affect us physically, and thus
in a physical way they react upon our
appearance, through the digestion. the
liver, the nerves, and other organs

only gaze after him and wonder what
It all meant.
The conclave lasted far into the
night. The feminine contingent went
to bed, but not to sleep. Some time
after midnight, Mr.. HARRISON and Max
went downstairs and | could hear
them rafting around testing win
dows and burglar alarms. But fin
ally every one settled down and the
rest of the night was quiet.
Betty Mercer came into my room

Anne Brown wanted me. ! went over
at once, and Anne was sitting up In
bed, crying. Dial had slipped out OF
the room at daylight, she said, and

she was asleep, but she wasn't, and
she knew he was dead, for nothing
ever made Dial get up on Sunday be-
fore noon.
There was no one moving In the
house. and | hardly knew what to do.
II was Betty who said she would go
up and rouse Mr.. HARRISON and Max,
who had taken Jim's place In the
studio. She started out bravely

He looked somewhat embarrassed
when he reused and saw us standing
around. He said he was going to play

asleep in the middle of 1t. And Anne
said he wasn't even an intelligent liar,
and went back TO bed in a temper. But
Betty came in with me, and we sat

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
Wardrobe Trlfles That Tell Whether
the Wearer Is Careful n
Neat.

Look at the at of a guimpe and you
can tell whether the wearer Is care
full and neat. 1t should be loose
enough TO insure a perfect fastening
al he iack. 1t should be pulled down
at both front and back and pinned in
place, If necessary. Then there is the
fastening on the dress. The eyes OF
plaits should always be sufficiently in
from the edge of the under flap so thai
no sight Of them is possible.
The fastening of your glove is a lit,
tie thing, but it tells much. First. II
should be fastened; otherwise why the
buttons? Next. the first button should
be below the palm at the wrist line
The opening should never be in the
center of the palm. II it is, your
glove is too small.
A silk petticoat Is no worth very
much If 1t shows a frayed edge. One
little piece of the torn ruffie will
counterbalance any rustic that you
may hear.

outer, should be carefully considered
Buttons are the best, especially on
wash dresses, and be sure to have
enough Of them.

important!
