HOW DO THEY FIGURE 1T?

Behold the workings OF the legal and judicial mind. The
mere laymen should hope TO understand IT,
Mrs Elizabeth Bell killed in accident on the
Seattle Rcnon & Southern Jury gave her heirs $4,000
verdict Case appealed and the supreme court today
announces that $1,000 much
But BY some extraordinary process OF reasoning the
Judges decided that 5000 exactly the OF dam
ages sustained But $i0O00f Never. Too excessive.
Not long ago the supreme helped cut original
verdict OF $1,000 $500 Again the jury gave too much
And do remember wise old supreme court fixing
the value OF mans love $4,000. but couldn't how
would be worth $5s000S Excessive verdict in that case
But did hear the court find that jury
small verdict Did you hear OF silk
gowned judges raising the OF verdict? No the
jury Judges Of the says and viii not inter-
fcre with their verdict
BUT IF THE JURORS ARE JUDGES OF FACTS IN
SMALL VERDICTS. WHY ARE THEY NOT EQUAL
LY so IN BIG VERDICTS2
THAT'S WHERE THE LAYMAN's MIND CAN'T
GRASP 1T AT ALL

BEAUTY FOR YOUNG GIRLS
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

douches (they are called often
pigsD, fill it with tepid water end
add pinch of salt; then fling the
head back and from the pigs snout
pour the saline water into first one
nostril and then the other. Do not
hold the head sidewise, for this will
fling the water into the ears Also
remember, when blowing the nose,
not to pinch the nostrils, for this also
sends all foreign matter into the ears
and may induce deafness.
The pig" nose can be Immensely
helped by little daily massage, the
rubbing, which must be at each side
as well as down the top, following
downward strokes.
The beauty of the mouth depends
to an enormous extent upon the
beauty of the mind, so every girl
should be careful Of this invisible
part of her. Coarse and ugly
thoughts, thoughts that tend to de-
grade the mind, or harden the heart
in any way, have an immediate and
lasting effect upon the lines of the
mouth. There is no possibility of de-
ceiving the world with such a mouth
it knows the meaning of the loose
lips, the hard, tight ones.
To beautify the mouth, then a girl
should first get herself into the habit
of thought that will uplift the spirit.
Then, if she has loose lips by nature,
she should practice holding them
more tightly, keeping the mouth
pursed a little with the first exer-
ciseS. The corners of the mouth
should never be allowed to drag down
for this gives Immediately a peevish,
discontinued look, and with advanc-
ing years there will be a heavy wrin-
kle each side. For genuine beauty
the mouth must be neither too small
nor too large, with the line of the
lips curving in gentle Cupid's bow.
This means that at the corners the
lips all but disappear in the little
upward curl made by the closing.
Such a mouth is not possible to all
persons. but faithful practice of it,
together with gracious thought, will
help the owner of an ugly mouth to-
ward a more pleasing effect.

THE IDEAL GUEST
BY EDNA EGAN.

social position for yourself, which she
could not occupy.
Do not camp OUT on your hos
tess attentions. And do not expect
to be entertained every instant of
your visit. Accept with courtesy and
interest and enjoyment what she has
to offer you in this respect, and, II
meager, find how best to enjoy it to
the full. Don't put hostess of small
income to any expense you can avoid.
Insist upon and maintain throughout
the frank arrangement of Dutch
treat in all outside expenses. Don't
make your insistence offensive or hui
initiating, but just put it in the light
of fairness to yourself-the fairness
of equal rights for women!"
Make excuses to absent yourself
from your hostess at least an hour
throughout the day-more, if conven-
lent. Take sewing or writing or read
ing with you on all visits. They are
tactful aids for hours of seclusion
from the household, or with it. Find
out and bring out the pet hobby of
your host and help him to mount and
ride it. If you can't talk intelligent
ly upon it, remember you always have
the right to listen intelligently!

it delicately, makes an excellent and
cheap substitute for cold cream. Pour
the suet, after it has been melted
and strained into a bowl of cold
water; when it has hardened melt it
again and go through the same pro-
cess several times. Then pour it at
last into a deep little jar, add a tea
spoonful of some sweet perfume, and
keep the jar in a cold place.
Thin lips-that is, lips that hav-
emit the moderate fullness required
for beauty-are improved by massage
and a nightly rub with olive or al
mond oil. When they are too thick
let the girl practice holding her
mouth closed, when she is not using
it, in a firm manner She must be
chary always about letting her lips
curl over too much, for this is an
ugly habit that thought may keep
in check.
