Baden-Powell, who has followed a plan
Of organization used with the boys of
Mafeking at the time Of the Boer war,
though he has also very carefully stud
led the methods employed in former
work for boys. especially in the Boys
Brigade Of America. There are now
over 100000 scouts In Great Britain
and 1t has spread to all the British
colonies and to France, Germany,

going. In our country It is spreading
fast, with national officers, whose
headquarters are In New York, and
scout masters in every state in the
Union, who have applied for instruc-
tlon in methods Of work. Roosevelt
is first vice-president and Gen. Leon.

council. The Y. NJ. G. A. has taken
1t up and appointed Mr.. Alexander,
their most expert worker with boys,
to direct the whole movement in their

In spite Of advice to the contrary,
blondes should avoid the lighter
shades Of blue, which make their com.
plexions seem ashen. The darker
shades. however, throw the complex.

True brunettes should not wear blue.
which makes the skin yellower than
ever, but horid brunettes can do so.
Blondes may wear green, but not bru-
nettes. Pale brunettes may wear any
shade Of red but crimson, which. how
ecer, looks well on the blonde. Yellow
is the best color for pale brunettes,
especially for evening wear. It clears
the complexion and sets OF the dark
eyes and hair wonderfully.

There is no doubt about the extrav.

Of such perishable fabrics. and never
