My heart feels elated at the glad
ness which have brought to SO many
of my sisters. I little realized how
great would be the response to my
little beauty-chats which have been
appearing in these columns every We'd
nesday. In the mail see gratitude In
every line. not only for the secrets
themselves which I have given them.
but because of the splendid results
which they have enjoyed from them.
From the first, Of course, knew
what these results would be. 1t was
for 1t to be otherwise. AS
l open my mail. read dear letter
from Beulah, which reads: This morn
ing was astonished, no less than my
daughter. who remarked upon the al
most miraculous disappearance of most
OF the wrinkles in my forehead. And
the crows feet are almost gone. I can
hardly realize it,
Another bubbles forth this way from
Annabelle: MY sister used to think
she had a queenly complexion. Mine
was only ordinary. Now, in only two
weeks time, mine makes hers look al
most like a pear skin alongside OF a
delicately-tinted rose. 1 am just as
happy as lark. You are my dearest
benefactor."
I am happy for your sake. Beulah
and nnabelle, and for all the other
dear friends who have shown such
confidence in me. and gratitude for
what have endeavored to do.
There have been many requests for
a hair-remover which will not burn
or irritate the skin. l can do no bet
ter than give YOU what I use myself
and 1 know you will be just as much
elated as was at the result after try
ing nearly everything known. This
treatment is remarkable for several
reasons. 1t leaves very little if any
trace of that strong odor which makes
other depilatories so disagreeable. Be

this correspondence that it was NOT
true there had been q ''cut and dried

1t was not true, and It was known 10

for political effect, At no time was
anything settled Now the action taken
by the caucus shows that even the con-
fdent guesses Of the mischief makers
were very bad ones. There were great
many candidates, but each one de-
pended on getting the necessary votes.
The system OF choosing candidates IS
not regarded as the best. but no better

EVENING CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Did you know that cerise and pur-
pie were an excellent color combine.
ton?
| never knew it before, but | have
just acquired that information, and II
is such a surprise to me that want
to share it. 1t was supplied to me
by young friend Of mine who has a
reputation for good dressing, and
was impaired apropos of a large hat,
composed chiefly of purple viOlets
and trimmed with two cerise plumes.
i complim@ted upon the hat as an
outrage of good taste, and my COM
.panion seemed most surprised. "Why
l think that's pretty" she said. you
know oerise and purple are all right
together this year"
What, l wonder, has the year 1912
done to deserve that laws of nature
should be suspended this year? For
surely that must have happened.
Last year and forever before, ceHse
and pupple was a combination to
make even the least aesthetic shud-
der This year it produces a har-
mony.
Now please do not conclude by my
inability to admire this combination
that l am a dowdyminded person
who does not like stylish things. l
think l appreciate truly stylish hat
Or gown as much as anybody, and
realize that the wand of style can
transform many things. For instance,
1t can make a bath towel desirable
material fer a gown. But this l
maintain-that there are some immu-
table Facts and conditions which even
the DEGREES of fashion cannot change
For instance, l do not think that
anything can make cerise and purple
haImonize. .
And again, refuse to be conwnc-
ed, when l am told that an indecent,
~ peeka-bOo waist is all right this
year. l do not think that even the
dictates Of fashion can make immod-
esty modest.
Yet, again, when l go to buy china
and am told that octagonal dishes
are the prettiest thing nowadays, /
beg to disagree. Despite the shop
girls emphatic assurances, l still
remember Curved is the line of
beauty, straight is the line Of duty"
and prefer to have dishes am to
live with for the next ten or twenty
years exhibit the lines Of beauty.
Yet one more example. When I
see a very thin woman accentuatSug
her thinnes by dressing In an in.
decently skinny gown and wearing
perhaps no petticoats at all, l can.
not think that even the fact that
thinness is stylish this year makes
her conduct good taste or her an.
pesrance attractive.
Fashion is wonderfully powerful
Iorce and there ane undoubtedly
many things which it can influence
but there are also many laws of
good taste, Of artistic .harmoyn, and
OF decency, with which not even the
most emphatic demands of fashion,
should. interfere.
IN other words, there are some
things which cannot possibly be right,
proper or beautiful this year any
more than they have been for the
past million years.
