ish for possession of the famous Nine.
Vespucci.
This particular novelist shows a
fondness, uncommon in American liter
allure, for dwelling on the political ad-
venturess-a type that has not been so
common In the history of political
leaders In this country as 1t has been
in the lives OF statesmen and rulers Of
Europe. Such woman was the prin-
cipal character In his second novel,
and to the limited few who keep alive
in their memories the story Of Nine.
Vespucci's career in America Il was
perfectly plain that she was the proto-
type Of the novelist's heroine. And
now, in his third book, as II in revela
ton Of how strong grip this fascinat-
ing woman's career and personality
have on him, the novelist tells the lit
tie known tale of how she once was
the stake In a game OF cards between
two men, one Of whom was not as ex-
allied a parsonage as the novelist
leads his readers to believe.
The incident that makes one of the
characters in this last historical novel
tell the story Of the game of cards
played for Nine. Vespucci's favor is a
proposal that this parsonage, a state
senator Of Missouri in the sos Of the
last century. makes to a captain in
the United States army that they too,
shall play game Of poker for the tenn
porary possession Of the heroine of
this tale. whom the senator believes
to be "the same kind of a woman" as
Nine. Vespucci was. The captain does
not understand the full meaning Of the
senator's proposal, and to this the man
from Missouri replies:
Tho Precedent.
Come, now. You, as an army man.
ought to know something of the his
tory Of poker In these United States.
Listen, my friend. Do you recall
certain game played by a man higher
in authority-younger than he is to-
day--a game played upon a snow
bound train In the north country? Do
you remember what the stakes were
then? Do you recall that the man
later became president Of the United
States? Come. There is fine prece-
dent for our little enterprise. He played
then much as you do now. There was
against him then, as there Is now
against you, a man who admired not
80 much just one woman in all the
world, as, let us say. one particular wo-
man then and there present. Perhaps
you remember his name--Mr. Parish
later ennobled by the German govern
ment and long known as a land baron
In New York. Come! Think Of IL!

great citizen. and Parish, playing and
playing until at last It came to the
question of woman-not so beautiful

The finest of French cambria is used
IN the construction of the lingerie this
season. Val lace is used in great pro-
fusion. On the n%ightgown and COM
hination of a charming set heavy mo-
tives of hand embroidery are appliqued.
This applique is put on over the inser-
ton. The combination has a narrow
satin ribbon that draws the corset
cover close to the waist-line and ro-
cites of the White satin ribbon are on
the shoulders and decorate the front
OF the waist. The same ribbon orna-
ments the nightgown.
A feature of the new pettieoats this
autumn is that the ribbon above the
deep fiounce runs through button-
holed Sits. insertion not being used, 1
The petticoats must be made mar

will not be spoiled in effect. The pet
tieoat also must be as long as the

A Decorative Scheme.

Dear MISS Doom:
We are going to give a surprise party
for my older sister. and ask your advice
as to decorating the rooms. Our dining
room leads into the parlor, separated only
by two large columns The dining room
has a dark green wall. while the parlor
has a dark red one, with a white MORE
ceiling. We would like to have the rooms
decorated with crepe paper and ask your
advice as to how and what colors or color
to use. Hoping to see my answer in the
Evening STAR, / remain, EDITH b..
think the prettiest way will te to
reverse the colors, trimming the din
ing room with red, the shade of the
parlor walls, and the parlor with green,
the shade of the dining room willis.
Cut the crepe paper in strips and fes
toon it from the sides of the chande-
liers to the walls. Put ~red-shaded
candles on the table, and for a centre
piece cover a large dish with the red
crepe paper and fill 1t with fruit. Small
red paper roses filled with nuts and
having the place cards attached will
complete the table decorations in q
very effective way. Your W good
taste will prevent you from overdec-
Grating.

Gift for Baby.

What is an appropriate gift to give to
a newborn baby? Are small fancy lace
handkerchiefs ever worn as a bib when
taking the baby out? Thanking you In
advance for your advice, | remain,
J.. A. j.
A baby record is an appropriate gify.
but the trouble is that other friends
will probably think of the same
thing, and baby has no use for
more than one. A baby spoon,
set of baby pins, a pillow. a car
riage cover. a dainty little cap,
jacket, kimono or bib. a pretty pair ri
worsted or leather boots, a toilet Sc,
including comb, brush and powder
puff, a safety pin-holder of ribbon with
-four or five rings, to which are at
tached pins of various sizes, all form
acceptable membranes. Yes. dainty
bibs can be made from fancy handkeg-
chiefs. Fold the handkerchief in the
form of a triangle. Cut out the base
to fit the baby's neck and finish it off.

diminished, stocky, leather-colored ras-
cal in a shiny black suit and blue
lannel shirt, with a blue fur upon
his face n blue tattoo-marks on his
hairy hands.
Public opinion, led by the bartender,
was against him to the point of throw
ing him out or sending for the police,
and his attempts at a defense were
rendered unintelligible by volubility
and by the strangest mixture of Ian
guages I even heard in my life. I'M
agine a slightly trunk and thorough
ly excited Neapolitan speaking broken
English with an Irish brogue, and
you may have some faint impression
of the effect. His muddy blur of in
donations was impossible to follow, ana
l tried him in Italian, becoming there
by a person of authority and inter
est. He understood me readily enough,
but his own scattering patois gave me
a good deal of trouble. BY what I
could make out he vas a sailor, for
merly on ships owned by Mr.. Tabor,
and Mr.. Tabor had discharged him
and had kidnapped his wife. This
sounded puzzling enough; but ! could
get nothing else out of him, and my
further questions brought forth only
angry r~eiterations and indefinite VOWS
to have justice at any price. Finally
l persuaded the bartender to give him
one more drink on condition that he
went away Immediately, and satisfied
the crowd with some patched-up story
of a hated employer whose resem-
blance to Mr.. Tabor had caused an
unfortunate mistake.

To Properly Treat
Obstinate Wrinkles

Particularly where wrinkles and
burrows are long and deep, the mas
sage deyotee is apt to rub too hard
and too frequently" says DR.. Limo
ges. Such treatment loosens the
skin, causes muscles to sag and ag-
g%rayates the wrinkled co~ndition--just
the opposite result from what she
seeks.
Better than massage. or anything
else, for the most obstinate wrinkles
and crows feet, as well al the finest
lines, is a formula well known in
France. which American ladies may
readily avail themselves of. as you
will have no difficulty procuring the
constituents from your druggists. It
is this: inc powdered saxolite
in one-half pint witch hazel. Battle
the face, neck and hands in this daily.
The effect is really marvellous, not
only as to wrinkles. but also in case
OF double chin and baggy cheeks. The
application is cooling. soothing, tend
ing to relieve fatigue and insomnia"

AT Home Etiquette.

Dear MISS Doom.
win you kindly publish through your
columns II at home" cards need an an
swer and how to conduct yourself while
there? In answering my questions you
will greatly oblige. INQUIRER
No, "at home cards do not require
an answer. The hostess is merely
notifying her friends that she will be
at home to receive them on a certain
afternoon and is not obliged to fill n
vacant places in case of absence OF
any of those invited. II you are not
able to call send your visiting card g,
that it will be received by the hostess
on her "at home day. This Is ali
acknowledgment of her courtesy in
sending you an invitation. The con-
ventional length of a call Is from
twenty minutes to a half-hour. Leave
all heavy outer wraps in the dressing
room Immediately upon entering thu
house. Keep on the hat and gloves,
and, if the reception gown includes a
jacket, this. n the furs may also be
retained. Greet the hostess and the
others in the receiving line and then
move away to give place to other ar
rivals. You will doubtless find friends
among the guests to whom o may

ants to show you to the dining-room. or
the hostess will say. Won't you go to
the dining-room for refreshments2" In
the latter case you will go in alone or
with friends, and not wait for any
one to be delegated to show you the
way. 1t is customary to take leave OF
the hostess unless she is engaged in re-
ceiving guests. and if it Is the first
visit al her house it is obligatory to
wait until she is disengaged so that
you may express to her your pleasure
at being present. Before leaving the
house put your calling card on the card
tray. This is a custom which should
not be neglected. In receiving SO many
people the hostess is apt to forget who
called, and as your ard does not CONS
through he mail she may think that
you have simply ignored her invitation.

A Question of Color.

Dear Miss Doom.
l am a girl Is years of age ana am very
dark, so would like to have your advice
In buying dress goods. What color will l
select? Would old rose be nice? I have
dark eyes, dark hair and dark skin. T.
never wore old rose before. ] always wore
blue in all shades. l am a reader of the
Evening STAR and would like to see your
answer soon. BY helping me you. will
obllge. M. #. F.
Yes, l think old rose viii be becom-
ing, provided you select a clear shade,
and not one that has a suggestion OF
a lavender tinge. The latter shade ~
very trying to a person with dark skin.
A rich shade of red or garnet would
add color to your cheeks, and combined
with red satin or velvet would make a
youthful frock. Black is also a pretty
trimming for red, provided the upper
part of the waist is made OF the red
material, for lack nea the face Is
apt to make a dark person look sallow.
Did you ever wear brown? 1t is a safe.
rule to match the eyes in choosing a
dress, and If your skin is clear, brown
should be becoming. If, however, the
skin is sallow, it must be lightened by
one of the bright shades, such as red.
j. A. Nj am sorry, but your ques-
ton comes under the head of legal
and cannot be answered In this column.

Absorption Process
Makes Face Young
tFrom The Home MakerI

Success has at last come to scien-
fists who for years have sought some
effectual method of removing the
outer facial skin in cases of unsightly
compilations which would be both
painless and entirely non-injurious.
The new process is so simple, the
means so ordinary, so inexpensive, the
wonder is hat no one had discovered
the anne long ago.
1t has been amply demonstrated that
common m~ercolized wax, to be had at
any drug store. completely removes,
by gentle absorption, all the withered,
lifeless cuticle, showing the youthful,
rose-like skin underneath. The mer-
colized wax is applied at night-like
cold cream, but not rubbed inland
washed off in the morning. The alb
sorption also ~cleanses clogged pores,
increasing the skins breathing ca
pacity and capillary circulation, pre-
serving the tone. color n natural
beauty of the new skin.
