GREAT ART OF BEING DAINTY
Merely Being Careful Is the Secret Of
the Girl Who Always Looks
Nice.

There are some girls who, without
being actually good looking, always
contrive to look nice. You know, per
haps, that they have but small dress
allowance; yet, in spite Of this fact,
they look well every time you happen
to see them, whereas other girls with
more money at their command often
look shabby and frumpish.
What is the dainty girls secret? ?
Nothing more than that she is careful.
She has a place for everything, and
she keeps to it.
Her wells, ribbons, gloves, ETC., do
not fight for supremacy in one terri
BILE looking drawer, and finally emerge
in a crumpled and torn condition to
form part of her attire, looking as if
they had been either bought second
hand or had been rescued from the
family rag bag.
No; all the articles are put away
with the utmost care, being brushed
or busted first, if necessary, or mend

to be needed, for she understands the

OVERCROWDING is PROBLEM OF
WISCONSIN SCHOOL, SAYS
SOUTHERN EDUCATOR.
LIMIT TO UPPER CLASSMEN
Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt
College Declares Wisconsin Soph-
omores and Freshmen Must Soon
Attend the Smaller Institutions.

Madison.-That the University OF
Wisconsin will eventually become a
school limited to upper classes is the
prediction of Chancellor kirkland of
Vanderbilt university, who has been
investigating conditions during his
stay here. He says that the great
problem that the university is now
facing is how to furnish education
for the great number of students
that are enrolling for work here. The
under classmen, according to the
southern educator, will have to Sc
cure their preliminary training in the
smaller institutions of the state, such
as Beloit, Lawrence, Ripon and Car
roll colleges.
''The time will come when Wis
consin will have not 5000 but 10000
Students he said. "a body of such
size is impossible of receiving the
proper instruction. 1t is too large
to remain a unit and the individual
will be lost in the crowd. In order
to remedy this, the university will
have to be broken up into smaller
uAAIo' anu OolleN0 CHlS Will De
brought about by distributing the
freshmen and sophomores to smaller
colleges.
Wisconsin is still the model of
what state university should be and
is doing great work. The state is
supporting its university as no other
state is doing, and the whole spirit
of education seems to be better here
than elsewhere. The attitude of the
legislature is indeed gratifying and
this is due to the large number of
graduates who are serving in it."

AS a stain remover it is excellent
and the woman who keeps half a
lemon on the stationary washstand
where she washes her hands, rarely
will have to blush for the unsightli

Oxalic acid is also good, but is in

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF
PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS

A speedy and economical treatment
for disfguring pimples is the follow
ing: Gently smear the face with Cuti
cura Ointment, but do not rub. Wash
off the ointment in five minutes with
Cuticura Soap and hot water and
battle freely for some minutes. Re-
peat morning and evening. At other
times use hot water and Cuticura
Soap for bathing the face as often as
agreeable. Cuticura soap and oint-
ment are equally successful for itch
ing, burning, scaly and crusted hui
mors of the skin and scalp, with loss
of hair, from infancy to age, usually
affording instant relief, when all else
fails. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.
Corp, Boston, Mass, for the latest

ment Of the skin and scalp.

EMPIRE STYLE LIKED
HAS APPROVAL OF FASHION FOR
EVENING GOWNS.
Partisan Costumer Has Produced Eff
feet Which Has Become Decidedly
Popular-Row His Idea Is
to Be Used.

Despised at first, the empire style
OF evening toilettes, first created by
very artistic Partisan couturier, is
now rapidly growing in popularity.
The waist is left absolutely free OF
belt or sash, a narrow cord placed
well above the belt line being the only
indication of a waist, if any is given
at all.
These gowns are made of the sheer
est materials, embroidered or beaded
In the designs of the period. They
scarcely touch the ground. 1t is
fashion which was deemed quite &C.
centric last year, but is now almost
generally accepted by fashionable
women.
The opening of the bodice is round
ed and trimmed with lace or tulle
f1chus, and the sleeves, according to
taste or circumstances, are either long
or short. Strass, as last year, is used
largely for trimming. A broad band
of strass laid broad over the upper
part of a mousseline de sole bodice
and on the edge of deep Japanese
sleeves gives a charming effect.
Gauzes and mousselines de sole,
embroidered in pearls or interviewer
with metals, are to be found In most
smart shops. These materials are en-
broidered along the selvage so that
the width wanted can be cut, and to
avoid seams.
Among these varieties are found
white and black chiffons woven in sill
yer and black, blue gauzes beaded in
steel and black gauzes beaded in
moonlight and silver The pearls form
deep border, which is placed at the
foot Of the skirt and on the bodice.
Fur is often used on the border Of
mousseline de sole tunics, falling half
way down the skirt over a dress of
different material These under
dresses are made of contrasting heavy
stuffs, such as brooches shot in metal
or satins embossed with velvet fig

THE NARCISSUS

Once there was a young fairy
who was very vain. He was beau
tiful but selfish, for he loved no
one but himself.
One day as he was walking be-
side little stream whose waters
were as clear as crystal, he saw
a lovely face gazing UP at him,
and was charmed with its beauty.
He did not know it was his own
face, but thought 1t was a little
water fairy. and promptly fell In
love. Every day he went to the
stream and smiled at the lovely
image reflected there. He was
very happy when the blue eyes
and red lips smiled back at him.
In this way many fine days
passed, but one morning when
he arose from his bed in a punsy
blossom he was deeply disap-
pointed to find that the day was
hidden behind heavy cloud. and
big raindrops were falling.
