BY MRS. MAE MARTYR.

, Myra: 1t is right you should he sensitive about
the fuzzy growth on your face. but 1t is nothing
to worry over. as it can be quickly removed il
you will follow these simple directions: Buy
an ounce OF delatone from the druggist and mix
a little with water to make stiY paste.
Spread thickly on the hairy surface and let re-
main two or three minutes. then scrape on paste
and wash the skin carefully. This removes the
hairs without injuring the skin, and while della

Couture Flowers.

What you wear in your hair may make
you a beauty or the reverse. Let it be
hard and glittering. your couture adorn-
ment. and you may be smart but will not
look your best.
For this reason the popular gold and
silver bandeaus are not becoming; neither
is the diamond tiara unless worn far
enough from the face not to dim the lus-
ter of the eyes.
Another eye-dimmer is roses and other
deep hued flowers worn close to the face.
They are warranted to make the eyes
lose in depth
A. girl must be sure of her color-more
apt1y of a lineless skin since color can be
bought-n she is to sport gold and silver
flowers In her hair.
For the same reason the favorite lin
ing of hats, of gold or silver tissue over
white satin. is apt to be snuffer-out of
beauty.
Flowers that have a hard sheen and
vivid tone are infinitely more trying to
the complexion even of rOsy-cheeked
youth than is a velvet flower or those of
soft colorings.
Unless sure of your features do not
wear anything in your hair. despite the
fashion. The snub-nOsed rOund-faced and
haggard woman seldom looks anything
but q caricature wHen her head is arrayed
for conquest in the latest thing in couture
ornaments

KHAKI CAPS ABOLISHED.
Aiguillettes to Be Worn on All But
Service Uniforms.

Maj Gen. Leonard Wood. chief of stafT.
after long and careful study of the sub
ject, has reached the conclusion that
there are too many articles In the various
uniforms of officers of the army. With
the approval of the Secretary of War he
has issued general orders modifying the
regulations for the uniform.
The most radical changes prescribed
apply to trousers. caps and aiguillettes.
Service trousers of olive drab and cotton
khaki no longer form part of the uni
form, and their use must be. discontinued.
The use of the khaki cap also is discon-
tinued and the olive drab caps will be
worn instead. The dress cap no longer
forms part of the uniform, and the fun
dress cap hereafter will be worn with the
dress uniform.
The new order requires all officers enc
titled to wear the aiguiilette to wear 10
with all uniforms except the service uni
form. II is prescribed that the aiguillettO
be secured to the shoulder of the dress
coat by a small cloth loop and black
button placed just inside the shoulder
strap
The new order also prescribes that
whenever boots are worn spurs shall he
worn, and that all officers, when mounted.
shall wear spurs.
1t is further provided that a white
waistcoat with small gold or gilt buttons
ana q black silk tie shall be worn with
tho special full-dress uniform and mess
jacket. The buttons In the shirt are all
ways to be plain gold AuttonA

URGE HULL FOR $4,000 PLACE
Members of House Military Commit.
tee Call on the President.

Practically every member of the House
committee on military affairs yesterday
called on the President to urge that Rep
resentative J. A. T. Hull be appointed
a member of the board Of ordnance and
Notifications.
Mr.. Hull has been chairman OF the
military affairs committee of the House
for sixteen years. The berth which he is
scheduled to flll as a civilian pays 5000
a year, and is generally regarded as a
long-term appointment.
1t is understood the congressional dele
gates told Mr.. Taft that 1t would be q
mistake to lose the services OF Repre-
sentative Hull when there is an oppor-
tunity for him to further serve the cOun-
try on the army board.
The President informed the congress
men that he would take the proposed APP
pointment of Mr.. Hull under advtsement.
Thomas J. Henderson Of Illinois is the
civilian member Of the ordnance board
at present. and it is said he will retire
In the near future.

neat looking house dress for morning
wear seen among the early spring models
is of Bingham in a pretty gray and white
plaid.
The skirt is gOred. Of generous width,
but plain. The waist is tucked on the
shoulders is cut out square at the neck,
and the sleeves are in bishop style. Waist
and skirt are joined under belt of plain
gray chanbray, and the neck is finished
with the same material cut out prettily.
Cuffs are also of the gray.
Among the novelties for the bathroom
is bathroom thermometer. nickel mount

The new cotton goods tor the coming
season are exquisite. Wolfe, linens, cham
brays. ginghams. dimities. organdies and
percales are in full blossom already In
the stores and in such a bewildering
variety that choice seems we'll nigh
impossible.
Perhaps the gem of the collection is
the display of printed handkerchief mus

Sheer and fine as pocket handker-
chief is the weave, the printings in the
daintiest colorings imaginable.
A design in tiny pink rOSebuds scat
tered over an ivory white surface was
much admired in one shop. though 1t was
a difficult matter to decide which was the
prettiest.
a girl whose means do not allow of
more than one or two evening frocks
during q season can make an agreeable
change if she will press into service one
Of her lingerie frocks worn during the
summer.
To transform it into an up-to-date even
ing gown all that is necessary VIII be to
add a deep hem of soft satin ribbon in
a delicate color around the bottom of
the skirt and a sash or belt to match
and a ribbon tied around the arms at
elbow length catching in the sleeves.
A ribbon flower of the same color will
complete an extremely pretty toilet and
one inexpensive as well.

Nurses Cloak.

In private work the hospital nurse may
dress as she please, but, as rule, pre-
fers to continue wearing the correct uni
form of the hospital where she trained.
Where childrens nurses are concerned,
many wear outdoor uniform, and do not,
of necessity, boast the usual cotton gown
and linen apron beneath. For the uni
form coat or cloak has this virtue, it
covers the body completely. SO that get
ting ready for walk is speedy matter,
which is as 1t should be where there are
children to be dressed.
Now, sometimes girl may be required
to provide outdoor uniform for which
there will be no demand in a future sit
uation, and in that case she will probably
prefer to make long coat.
Double breasted and high to the throat,
this garment should be carried out in
heavy serge, unlined, wide facings of the
serge being provided for either front. The
seams made neat with Prussian binding,
after being pressed fiat, and the hem fin
ished in like manner. The pocket on
the right is of the patch persuasion, Tor
every one who has either to carry baby
or wheel perambulatof knows the i'm
portance of a handy pocket.
Where the cape is concerned a pocket
is not provided, for the coat portion Of
this coat is sleeveless. and the opening Is
sufficiently large to permit OF the hano
being slipped within to reach the pocket
Of the white linen apron beneath Ac-
cording to whether it is intended for
summer or winter wear, so must the
material be chosen, but the most useful
fabrics are navy serge for winter and
sicilian for summer. Here again fin
ing would be superf1uous. but the firm
and neat finish of every seam is a matter
of some Importance II the garment is to
be wear resisting.
AS is the case with uniforms of all
descriptions the buttons should be plain,
or nearly so, and of bone or polished
horn.
OF course there are uniforms of all
colors. and the Importance of the bonnet
and veil exactly matching the cloak worn
with them need hardly be pointed out,
though in some instances a white or
black bonnet may accompany a wrap of
