OBSERVATIONS

never attained by one who !
makes up" even to the perfection
of a bisque doll. There is always
something lacking in the artificial
complexion, and that is life. One
reason why there is so little express
sion in many women's faces is that
they are too well covered with layers
of cosmetics.
1t has become a fad among school
girls to make up" until they look
about as respectable as a burlesque
actress. No reputable actress would
make such an appearance on the
streets. The average actress is only
too glad to get the stage paint off of
her face and appear in her natural
colors. Moreover, she knows better
than misguided young people how
garish and unnatural woman looks
in any but her own complexion out
in the daylight.
am not advocating unloveliness
by any means. There are times when
a bit OF powder freshens up an older
woman's face. There are even emer-
gencies when a tiny bit Of rouge is
admissible. But the girl or woman
who would be really lovely has the
kind of complexion that won't wash
off, and she isn't afraid of its rubbing
of on his" coat sleeve.
! Time was when the average man
thought that even a trace of powder
on woman's face was a disgrace to
her womanhood. But since he has
found how soothing a dash Of powder
is after a shave he has ceased to rail
at the woman who refreshes her face
with a powder puff He even over
looks the bit of somewhat soiled
chamois which she keeps in her hand
bag Tor her stocking), though he'd
rather she'd throw away the insani-
tary thing and invest in a book of
powder leaves.
One of the surest signs of woman's
emancipation is that she no longer
fears to powder her nose in full sight
of her lord and master
But while the average man has &C,
cepted the use Of the powder puff, in
moderation, he still despises the
dolled-up girl or woman-unless hes
very, very young and doesn't
know any better. He isn't fooled one
single minute by the alabaster white.

sUFFRAGErs IN CANADA.

Premier Borden of Canada was
asked by a committee Of prominent
suffragets just before he sailed for
London to return to the dominion If
he would introduce in the Canadian
parliament a bill TO give women the
franchise. The premier promptly but
politely replied that he certainly
would do nothing of the kind, as, in
the first place, the question OF wheth-
er women should or should not be
given the franchise in Canada was
one solely for each province to settle
for itself, and in the second place, he
believed the women of Canada would
know enough to take the initiative
when they desired votes and would
not look 70 their English sisters for
advice or direction. Without mean
ing them any harm. the premier has
gotten the nine provinces into a
pretty pickle
Following Mr.. Borden's hiatt, the
English suffragets declare that they
will send over TO Canada a commit

premiers and bring pressure" to bear

WHY NOT ILLINOIS?

A man from Oklahoma picked up a
geography in a local book store in
Rockford, recognized the book and
noted the price. Go cents.
Why" he said, this book costs only
50 cents in Oklahoma.
In that state the legislature fixed the
price the people would have TO pay for
the school books. In Illinois the book
trust makes the price.
In Illinois the dealers make no prof
its on school books.
For instance, on the new geography,
which retails at G5 cents, and is a poor
excuse for u text book at best, the
dealer makes only 10 per cent profit.
In the average city and town through
out the state, the cost Of doing retail
business is 90 per cent or more.
So the retailer is handling school
books without profit.
Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Ok.

Hurnor and
Philosophy
THE REMEDY,

IF gossip's idls prattIe
Annoys you more or less,
II old wives silly chatter
Occasions you distress.
Get busy. That's the answer
That always comfort brings,
For while they work their faces
You can accomplish things.
They pick your life to pieces
They pry into your past,
And over 1t in places
They will a shadow cast,
But don't let that annoy you
Or put you in a stew
If you are doing something
That's more than they can do
Because with every winner
There must be some to knock,
To pick UP idle stories
And spread them round the block.
For those who make a failure
And in the game are thrown
Can see the faults in others
While missing all their own.
So simply keep a-tugg;ng
And squirting up your nag.
While you are pressing forward
Just let their old tongues wag,
And so unto the gossip
Be deaf and dumb and blind,
For II you let them bother
You'll just be Of their kind.
