MATCHING THE EYES.

The touch Of velvet near the face,
matching the color of the eyes, has
long been popular with the women
who study their own good points. and
this has been easy to manage in
these days of quaint little bows and
pipings.
OF late, however, the women of tie
smart set have taken to wearing
flowers which carry out the Color
too.
There are pansies that are for the
brown-eyed girl, forgetme.nots for
blue eyes and orchids for the maid
with hazel eyes.
The girl with gray eyes is the only
one who has any trouble, for all she
can find to match her eyes in the
humble dusty miller leaf.
Sometimes she fancies her eyes,
however, are gray blue" or green
gray" so she varies her color
scheme with orchids, migonette or
a dull blue blossom. IF she is quite
convinced that her eyes are really
"matchless," she contents herself
with the feeling of superiority arts
ing therefrom and let's the jewels OF
her face sparkle unrivalled or wears
the modest violet, which would never
presume to resemble the eyes above
them.
| Wien natural blooms are not pro-
durable the woman with an eye for
flowers buys artificial ones of the
required tint.
Partisan ingenuity has gone one
step further in this art and provides
for its leaders Of fashion real flowers
dyed with chemical dyes in any de-
sired color or shade.
Hardy flowers, such as camelias,
carnations and all varieties whose
stems are good absorbers, are placed
in the liquid and allowed to stay
there until exactly the right amount
of color has been absorbed.

GLAZED STRAWBERRIES.

The strawberries must be picked
with the stems on. Wash them iii
cold water, drain, dry or wipe care
fully. Cut wire in pieces, bend each
piece at both ends, forming a hook,
then run one end into the stem of a
strawberry. Prepare a strip of sugar
and water, dip each strawberry into
it and hang it up so as to dry, and so
on until the whole are finished. AS
soon as dry enough to handle them,
pull off the wire and serve.

detract to just that extent from the
beauty we are trying to acquire
Again, anger, irritability, envy, jeal-
ousy, hatred, fear, suspicion, depres-
sion-all these and many others OF
the same nature have a bad effect
upon the looks.
It is now known that these mental
states affect us physically, and thus
in a physical way, they react upon
our appearance, through the diges-
ton. the liver, the nerves, and other
organs. But they have also, in adj
dition, a direct effect upon the coun-
tenance. They bring lines. They
cause the corners of the mouth to
droop. In time, they will actually
change the shape of the 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 at
tention 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
woman need feel that the quest for
beauty for her is hopeless. BY ac-
quiring right mental states, she will
first Of all affect herself physically,
so that her complexion, her eyes, her
lips. her whole physical self, will
improve. But most important of all,
she can give her face the spiritual
beauty which outweighs all else in
the final count for charm.

rErRAzzINI 70 STOUT WOMEN

TETRAZZlNl TO STOUT WOMEN
Harper's Bazaar, which persuaded
Pavlova, the great dancer, to write
on American woman's lack of grace,
has now persuaded Nine. Tetrazzini,
the famous singer, to write on indi-
viduality in dress. In the June Bazaar
the Italian singer handles her subject
without gloves. She says, among
other things: And now we come 70
very important questions. What may
the slim woman wear and what may
the stout woman wear? AS you prob
ably know, l cannot deny that it is
beneath the latter category I come
myself Also, I believe It is a sort
of religious belief handed down by
our ancestors, that the woman at all
inclined to be plump must wear
plain. tight costumes. I laugh that
belief to scorn. love trailing chif

women would look their best in soft
cloths and velvets, just as am
equally sure they look their worst in
tight, plain clothes. Fancy stout
woman in tight-ftting tailored
suit! Why, the poor creature looks
like an hour-glass! The semi-fittins
suit, or, better yet, the long semi
fitting coat, is the thing for a woman
of solid proportions. Also there IS
just one good rule for her in house
gowns. Let the stout woman carry
her waist-line high; never attempt 10
push it down. The Empire gowns are
the modes for her, with soft silks
falling from the bust-line, to sweep
into a long train at the back. That
train. too, is an important feature.
A train properly handled can appar-
emily take inches away in width and
add them in height. I always wear
a very long train, whenever such a
costume is possible, and l have
learned in standing to- sweep it
around before me so that I seem quite
a little taller than is actually the
case"

The post offices of each particular class As
starter Uncle Sam is going erect and
equip what may be designated as a model post
Office and which will be used a pattern for
all the post offices to be provided henceforth
throughout the country This model post Office
Will be located at the national capital and 1t is
designed to be a model not only in its mail
handling equipment, but also in the furniture,
the arrangement of the various rooms and even
In the architecture of the building itself and the
selection of a site located with reference to
the railroad terminals that it will facilitate the
handling of the incoming and outgoing mails.
This last is a point to which the average citizen
seldom gives thought and yet 1t means that
IL his post office is located too far from the rail-
road stations through which the mails are dis
patched there will be unnecessary lengthening
OF the time required to convey letter between
any two points
So anxious has been the postmaster general to
have the scheme for better post offices worked
out just right that he some time ago appointed
special committee composed of men high in the
postal service to prepare the plans for a model
post office This body of experts has been busy
Tor months past perfecting every detail. The
committee includes the first assistant postmaster
general, the superintendent of mails at Chicago
(which city already has a pretty welleduipped
post othce), the superintendent of delivery at
New York, representative of the architects, the
postmaster at Washington, ID. c. and the assist
ant superintendent in charge of the handling of
the foreign mails going out from the port OF
New York. One another of these men is
competent to give advice as authority on
every important operation connected with the
handling of mail at post ONCE.

The distinctive feature of the model post office
which most conspcuously will mark its super
fority to even the best of the oldtime offices will
be found in the extensive employment of mechan
ical and automatic carriers and conveyors of
different types for moving the letters and parcels
from point to point in their transit through the
post office. Indeed so complete will be this force
of mechanical workers that 1t will be
necessary for a human hand to touch letter
from the minute it is posted in the letter drop
at the post office until it is safely on its way
in a leather pouch to some distant city or
try. And the word safely" is used advsedly too
for one of the betterments that has been attained
in the scheme of this twentieth century post
Office is the throwing out of safeguards for the
mail in transit-safeguards designed not merely
to protect the letters from the operations of dis
honest employees but also to guard against loss
of even the smallest pieces of mail through care
lessness or haste in handling.
The mail conveyors and distributors which are
to reach the acme of perfection in the new post
Office have been developed rapidly during the
past few years. In general way these devices
resemble in principle the cash carriers or over
head troeys which have become familiar in
many stores But instead of converging at a
common point these postal troleys traverse
regular routes just as do electric street and
convey mail from any point In the post Office
to any other point. Suppementing these over
head carriers are belt conveyors, operating on
the principle of a moving sidewalk or endless
chain and which when they IN operation are
busy all the while moving forward either single
letters or bundles of missives Some of this
apparatus is of the kind that almost thinks.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
NURSE PRO TEN
BY MARY EASTWOOD KNEvEIS


On his knees in the mud under
driving rain Robinson carefully exam
ined the overturned car. Lydia, his
coat wrapped round her, sat on one
of the cushions under a tree and
wept. She was unhurt but unnerved
from the result of the accident which
had occurred-she knew-entirely
through her own reckless driving. She
recalled Robinson's quietly uttered
warning just before they had turned

said since she had interrupted his

President Taft, before his election
to the presidency, spent his summers
at Murray Bay, Canada, where there
are good golf links and cool breezes.
Last summer he went to Beverly,
Mass. and this year he is going to the
