Kind Words for Rouge and
 Powder

The growing popularity and use of tho powder puff and the rouge pot among even the most demure and staid feminine members of city families has become so recognized feature of modern city life as to have al last rallied the medical profession to it's support. An editorial writer in the New York Medical Journal, one of the most orthodox publications has come out very emphaticaly in favor of the powder puff and the cold cream jar
 'Woman Is beautiful writes the edi- tor of the medical journal. "or should be on account of one of natures wsest pro-
 visions. Only too common is the off-hand pronouncement of the doctor that face cream or depiatory Is harmful while an increasing multitude of women arc proving the contrary. As to the use of makeup it Is universal and the moral aspect of the question is becoming set tied. Now elderly dnchesses and Kncls- erbocker grandmothers fearlessly and scientifically handle the complexion brush. the face cream, the powder puff and boldly risk the hazard of the dye"
 Similar opinions have been expressed by other authorities. A French doctor writing in the cliniaue has pointed out the difference in complexion between the city women of sixty and her country sister of the same age. With a due re- gard for exceptions. the face of the for mer possesses smooth and beautiful skin while the latter's Is faded and wrinkled This difference is due 10 the fact that in one case the tender skin is protected from The stress of weather and climatic cond- tions by powder and unguents while in the other the wind and sun are allowed to do their worst unchecked.

NEW STRAW PROCESS
An Austrian Invention Causes Excite
 ment in the Textile Industry

From Consul William j. Pike Reichen
 berg, Austria.
 An invention that has caused no little excitement in the textile world consists of a process of treatment of common straw whereby it Is now possible to sc- cure therefrom a fibre suitable for spin ming. The discoverers themselves assert that their success far exceeds their orig inal expectations. While the entire meth cd is not revealed, 1t appears that tn straw is reduced to A jelY-lite substance by boiling, causing the separation r- the fibre from the outer shell, and the fibre is then treated in hot air machines. To thls product is added another fbrouS material, but never more than 20 per cent, so that fully 80 per cent is straw. The resulting stuff has many of the characteristics of tho fore yarn used in iute spinning. The principal advan- tages claimed by the inventors arc that the new fibre has all the advantages Of the yarn now produced; that the cost Is only one-haf that of similar products. that the weight is 10 per cent less, and that the goods are in evry way desir- able. Experts who have examined this material are agreed as to the truth of these claims

When a Tin Can Catches a
 Cold

Certain metallic clements have their ailments and indispositions, but the tin plague is probably the most remarkable decay. it will lose it's lustre, and finally crumble to a gray powder. The change is not a chemical one, for the gray pow der is still tin. and if can be brought back by careful warming 10 it's original healthy condition.
 Apparently, when the tin is very pure it is more susceptible to cold and con sequently decay. In fact, it may be made proof against the disease by allowing 1t with other metals. The disease is a source of considerable annoyance and disappointment to the collectors of coins who possess valuable tin specimens in their cabinets
 This curious failing of tin. says the Lancet, may possibly have led to the use Of the word tin as term of re- preach, as in such expressions al tin pot institution, or. "a tin soldier" Even tin buttons have been known to crumble
 n this way, and organ pipes made of tin have been found to decay after a severe winter. Tin rot. to keep up the analogy of disease, ss even infectious. for decaYing tin in contact with, healthy lus- trous tin soon spells it and reduces it to it's own unhealthy state. If tin is to be protected effectually against the ravages of cold 1t should be kept above is de grees centgrade. The hest remedy ap- pears to be, however, to alloy it with another metal. notably lead.

The Multiplicity of Scotch
 Haggis

Every once in a while, and particularly on the day after Robert Burns anni- versary celebration. the newspapers pub fish reports of gatherings and banquets of Scotchmen in which the name flag gis'' occupies a prominent place on the menu. Then a few curous-minded per sons who do not know. inquire. "Haggis? What is Haggis?''
 The answers vary from a kind of Scotch oatcake to hot drinks. Nobody ever seems quite sure what haggis really is. One hears vaguely from guests at Scotch banquets that it is a fearsome dish. There is a story of the elderly gentleman of rickety digestion who, taking off his overcoat in a friends house. and smell ing haggis in preparation remarked: 'Eh but I'll be bad the mornl' The possi- bility of refusing this dish apparently never dawn upon him and in a sturdy sort of fashion, when one is hungry the recipe certainly sounds as though the compound might be fascinating. Here is the recipe:
 A pound each of liver, onions tripe suet and cooked pearl barley, and half pound of oatmeal with salt and pepper are put into sheeps paunch and slowly boiled for four hours. That is all In its beautiful simplicity French chef in a stuffy kitchen might faint at the recipe. but a hungry Scotchman thinks it is the finest dish on earth

The Steamer Letter

The steamer letter does not receive at tention in manuals of correspondence the pity.
 Perhaps if is considered altogether too frivolous But. for all that. 1t is a pretty important branch of letter writing, as
 ~ery one wlto has gone over seas w.ll bear instant witness. M
 Additional testimony. if needed. can be furnished by stav-at-homes who have tried to frame appropriate messages 10 those about to depart on the ocean wide.
 The secret. says one experienced trav- eler. who also is experenced in the mat ter of sending letters to other travellers lies in not trying to make the steamer letter too elaborate an affair. If .tbe sender Is able to incorporate somethi,12' clever. which is to the point, well anf good. If not. the simple expression of good wishes is quite sufficient.
 And have these brief. The avoidance of tine-worn Jokes cannot be too strongly insisted unon. Ii is so easv to indulge in bromidic remarks in this connection. and nothing can fall more hat than observa- fiops of this nature. The writers of tens of thousands of steamer letters have dweit for example. on seasickness, attempting. of course to be iocose. The punishment that should be visited upon them is notfi- ing else than 2 vivid pereoral experience of that to which they refer.

Wireless in Hospit als

From the New York Times.
 "A very efficient system of wireless teleeraphy exists in every hospital" said the nurse. Apparently all patients have thf knack of transmitting messages, otherwise the news of serious cases would not travel so quickly and ac- enratoly from ward to ward. lt is con- trarS 10 the rules for hospital attend- ants to retail gossip, and most of them do observe strict secrecy. yet notwith- standing that precaution there is never an interesting case In the building whose history is not known and discussed in the remotest corner.
 Last week a boy suffering from pc cuiar kind of throat trouble was brought into a first floor ward. The doctors were very much interested in the case, yet thes took special pains never to mention il in the hearing of another patient. But for all the good their caution did they might as well have lectured on the case in every ward for when the boy died men and women all about the hospital said to the nurses:
 So that poor boy died did he7 [ guess there wasn't much hope for him from the start

 Domestic Wash silks are beginning to come in and show a variety of attravtive patterns and colorings. Stripes are very strong and come in combinations of black and white, blue and white and lavender and white. For late winter and early spring wear nothing quite takes the place of these blouses. The maiden who, either from choice or necessity, practices econ- omy finds two advantages which the wash silks have over the other kind. They admit of more frequent launderings and have greater width, being g inches wide.

 Of course you would by inheritance and education know the absurdity. the un- truth the artlficially of play developed along such theme, can go and see 1t un- harmed, but think of the young girl who has seen only the 'seamy side" of life, who lives litle grub in the dark, with her spirit arms reaching out always for the light.
 She is the one that the .gilded garba ge barrel" episode hurts. It is she who is dazzled by the moving picture show films and when she starts ont to ''see life" she thinks she is headed for the Land of Beautiful Romance.
 She thinks she is willing to pay the price.
 She has become imbued with the idea that the wages of sin are. a black spangled gown and high heeled slippers and all the other lovely accessories that make the modern star or "heroine" in a Six Best Seller" even in the most dis gusting role creature of appealing sur face, refinement and allurement.
