that they do not wear we'll A wom-
an may be a Venus at fifteen, and
adored for her melting olive beauty,
languorous and enthralling, but she is
generally old, faded or fat at thirty.
The tropical climate is not conducive
to lasting beauty, and, somehow, to
see passingly good-looking woman
beyond thirty is unusual. But while
they last they are of wonderful at
tractiveness. These peculiar condi-
tons do not seem to initiate, how
ever, against the sex, for a woman's
social popularity may last for half

after all it is the H.cntal attitude of
the female which adorns for perma-

The Day of Specialists.

The Day of Specialists.
1t pays to become a specialist
There has never been a time when
excellence in any one line of en-
deavor did not bring one of two re-
wards-honor or wealth. In no age,
however, has the specialist ever
shown his real power as In our own.
There are more men to-day who have
concentrated upon different lines of
achievement than at any time In the
worlds history and the number of
channels is constantly broadening.
Simple things that in the past were
not considered have been taken up
and fortunes made out Of openings
that were formerly not even looked
upon as worthy. Some genius CON
ceived the art of making money by
charging fee for hanging ones hat
upon peg in hotels and restaurants
and it made him rich. Another
worked out in New York the idea OF
having news stands in prominent
places where one could buy news
paper from every prominent city IN
the country. 1t has paid immensely
The Advertising Specialists.
In the matter of advertising, there
are men widely known to-day who
have made both fame and fortune by
concentrating upon some special line
of advertising and pushing that one
thing unremittingly One man in
Chicago handles classified advertls-
ing exclusively. He would refuse to
touch display account Why? Be
cause it is not in his line. He knows
all about getting results from CLASH
fed advertising He knows how, and
can tell you how to know.
Charles Austin Bates started his
career in the column of fame by writ
ing advertisements. He had his own
views of how to write the best adj
vertising copy He made the Regal
shoe famous and rich, and wrote
many other lines that were equally
worthy. His fame spread every
where His counsel was sought far
and wide, and he had his hands full.
Finally, with the original Bates idea
still dominating his every move, he
fell upon a marvellous marble quarry
in Colorado In the face of many
trade obstacles he gradually pushed
the Colorado marble to the front
through Bates publicity, until to-day
he is considered an immensely we'll
TODD man, is president of trust
company, and the marble company is
the largest in the world. Bates found
a good thing and concentrated upon
it; that's all.

in the world, is ever an interesting
theme | recently had highly edify
ing talk with Cooper Jackson, bust

Mexican capital, as we'll as the only
English daily in that country. The

most exclusively, and is regarded as

wits as high as 10000 circulation, and

over 10000 circulation. The reason

counts for everything. There are
only about 5000 Americans in the
City of Mexico, but there are per-

Districts engaged principally in min
ing and coffee industries. 1t is
strange thing that an English daily
could have 5000 circulation in the
City of Mexico, but the HERALD is
read by many Mexicans who speak
English.
Social Lines.
Society lines in Mexico are very
tightly drawn l asked Mr. Jackson
to explain this, and he said that it
was due to the fact that the old i'm
perial social clique did not at all gov
ern uppertendom The controlling
exclusives of the City of Mexico are
the old families of caste-families
that have come down through the
ages, that are 400 to 600 years old, and
that probably originated among the
Aztecs.
Social platitudes do not exist in the
higher circles of the Mexican capital.
On the contrary, so much does the
rule of form dominate everything
among the elite that, Mr.. Jackson
says, he has to keep at his office
complete outfit for evening dress,
ready for use at a moments notice.
1t is the universal demand of society
there that where as many as three
men appear together in the evening
at a public cafe, at the theatre, or
anywhere, they must wear the regu
lation costume de rigueur" Should
Mr.. Jackson receive a call to see a
party of gentlemen on business even,
he would not dare obtrude his pres
ence upon the company without the
proverbial swallowtail.

Few Thunder Storms in Mexico
Another popularity of Mexican CHI
mate mentioned by Mr. Jackson IS
the almost utter lack of thunder
storms. In the higher attitudes the
thunder storm is rarity 1t is a
squeamish time, too, when one hap
