Absorption Process
Makes Faces Young
(From The Home Maker)

Success has at last come to scien-
fists who for years have sought some
effectual method of removing the out
er 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 that no one had discovered
the same long ago.
1t has been amply demonstrated that
common mercolized wax, to be had at
any drugstore, completely removes,
by gentle absorption, all the withered.
lifeless cuticle, showing the youthful.
roselike skin underneath. The mer-
colized wax is applied at night-liks
cold cream, but not rubbed in-and
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 and natural
beauty of the new skin.

The TheQterS
The Murray.

That the old-fashioned minstrel
thing which is neither fish, flesh nor
good red blood is illustrated at the
Murray this week, where Gus Suns
Minstrels are appearing in several
somewhat anomalous acts.
That this aggregation of singers
and comedians is popular with Rich
mond audiences, however, was tes-
titled to yesterday afternoon when
immense applause and violent recalls
punctuated the intervals. The cos
tunes and settings were effective and

by DIR. Cook before and after he
reached the polar regions was sultry

An absence of programs in the af-
ternoon caused some vagueness as to
the identity of the two appearances,
aside from the minstrels, but little
can be said save that they were the
typical vaudeville performances of
their class and seemed to delight their
audiences with their tenuous wit. If
some of their supposed humor was
slightly frayed about the edges-what
of that. People laughed just the. same.
Why is it that some Of the people
who affect vaudeville houses-and la

keep up a running and audible COM

STRIKE Will RAISE
ATLANTIC FRt|GHTS
Steamship Companies Decide
Upon a Ten Per Cent,
Increase in Rates.

LONDON, Sept. 26-As a direct re.
suit of the labor conflicts in the ship.
ping world the rates of the great
freight carrying lines serving this
country probably will be revised. The
companies state that the concessions
they have made to the men, especially
the lockers, leave them no alternative
but to increase the freight rates, SC

CURED in working expenses.
The decision of one of the great
companies that serve Australia to III
crease its charges seems to have been
the precursor of a general movement
on the part of a number of the other
large carrying services.
News has been received that the
Liverpool shipping companies engaged
in the Atlantic trade have decided to
increase their rates by 10 per cent.
Commenting upon this message, Mr.
G. Dance, freight manager for the
International Mercantile Marine com
pany, a combine of the White Star
Leyland, Atlantic Transport and other
lines, said that negotiations Of a deli
cate nature were proceeding between
the London and Liverpool companies,
as a result of which a decision upon
the lines of the Liverpool message
probably would be arrived at An in.
crease of 10 per cent probably would
result, and he had no doubt that other
companies would follow the lead OF
those which were parties to the de.
cision.
An increase in outward and inward
freight rates was inevitable, said an
officer of the Allan Line, although
they had no intimation of a definite
alteration.
At the New Zealand Shipping com
pany's offices it was stated that high
er freight rates were inevitable.

Lengthening of Skirts Leads
to Outcry.

PARIS, Sept. 26.-The question OF
the length of ballet girls skirts at the
opera is causing nothing less than a
small revolution among the fashion
able subscribers to the boxes
The ballet of the opera is an insti-
tuition in Paris, and anything that eff
fects it deeply affects all Parisians.
Now, the new ballet master, NJ. Clus.
tine, Russian, has announced various
reforms, and of these. the chief is that
the short lamp shade" ballet skirt
must go and be replaced by long. flow
ing dresses, which, he says, are not
only more respectable, but more ar
tistic.
This fact has divided opera goers in
to two camps. One declares that the
short 'tuta" is thoroughly ungraceful.
and that it destroys beauty of the
feminine form, while the long skirt
can be powerful ally in the harmony
OF line, which is the aim of good dane
ing The other side contends that
the present costume has been in use
for centuries, and would rather have
things remain as they are.
The latter camp is supported by the
younger members of the corps de bal
let, who complain that if their legs
are to be completely covered up their
advantage over their less shapely sis
tiers would be lost. They even talk of
going on strike and the directors, Mn.
Messenger and Broussan, find their
time taken up in hearing formal pro-
tests and receiving Populations.
Other Reforms Planned.

also the low premium at which they
