4 Pretty Girls Tricks Of Beauty
BY DOROTHY JARDON.

TAM too bashful TO make any real
claim to great beauty, and while
am very much f1attered to be put
in this series, ! am afraid that l have
no secrets of beauty. and no magic
formulas, or creams, to enhance nv
looks, but, like every girl in her right
mind l want to look as pretty as pos
slb!e, and there are lots Of little WAYS
and tricks which make one appear
more attractive than one really is.
RMS may be deceitful. but. anyhow.
It's feminine, and | know that every
other girl win sympathize with me in
the desire to pretty up" and perhaps
some Of them Will profit by my sugges-
tons.
When l am dressing to go out l al
ways remember that the front view Of
myself which ! get in the mirror is the
BEST because | have taken the most
pains with that, but that there is also
a back view, view Of yellowish neck
and struggling hair, Of collar that
might be cleaner, or a veil that is torn
and when l think of all the belts that
don't connect. my hand instinctiveIv
goes to my own waist line.
A great many people talk against
paint and powder and l suppose every
body agrees that young girls should not
use makeup Of any kind. OF course.
when YOU are on the stage you get
rather hardened to that sort Of thing,
though, in general. actresses are thank
ful to clean the paint off their face,
and | don't think they use as much
paint on the street as DO the people
who never saw the footlights except
from the two-dolar side.
My strong objection to using powder
on the street is that one never gets it

Queer Habits.

UuSSl I1dDIIS.
l know one girl who rubs her finger
up and down her nose whenever she
is perp!eXed or thinking seriously
about something. She doesn't know
how queer it looks. but have seen her
do it on all kinds of occasions. and
often it is quite a ludicrous perform
ance; besides that she draws attention
to her nose, which is already long
enough.
Another girl pinches her nostrls. l
don't know whether she thinks that is
conducive to serious thought. but it
certainly looks odd and makes her nose
red.
When I was a little girl I went to
school with a girl who winked. She
did it as a trick and occasionally made
us envous by looking cross eyed. We
all tried to do as she did, and became
addicted to Winking to such an extent
that severe punishment was inflicted
upon me to make me stop. Fortunate
ly, l never did accomplish the feat of
looking ross-eyed. but to this day Fll
pick up any folish little mannerism,
and after I've been to see one of our pet
star actresses it takes me weeks be-
fore I can cure myself of the habit of
smoothing up my back hair, which is
one of her tricks of manner.
Like all girls on the stage. l have
found that two things which ruin
ones looks the most are lack of sleep
and poor or badly selected food. In
our profession it is difficult to get
either, unless you are fortunate enough

to play in your own home town and to
have few morning rehearsals and to
have contracted the habit of going to
sleep just as soon as you get to bed,
but, unfortunately, this is seldom the
case. And girls on the stage, like
girls in business, eat all kinds of queer
foods, and make their lunch of pickles
and pies and other. beauty destroying
combinations.
| can't speak with authority about
diet but 1 am sure that the very sim
plest food is bound to be the best, es-
pecially when one is working and can
not take care of a headache or the
more serious troubles that come from
eating indigestible meals

REFoRMERs USE WRONG MEANS

The Civil Service Reform associa-
ton of Chicago which set out to Dust
the postmaster of that city from
office by preferring charges of po-
litical activity against him has fallen
down with a bang. 1t has admitted
the falsity of the charges
This reform association had as it's
chief witness a negro hireling who
now has admitted that he perjured
himself
The trouble with most reformers is
that they often use improper means
to gain an end. If not this they usual
~ are fanatical enough to be fooled.
AS a result of its failure the Civil
Service Reform association has ended
it's usefulness. But before it closes
it's career the reform association can
make some amends by prosecuting
the black liar who acknowledges his
perjury.

HOW HEALTH CAN BE BOUGHT. y

Community health is purchas-
able says the Chicago bulletin of
the health department. This means
that wise and adequate spending of
money will produce conditions that
result in public health adds the Chi
cago Record-Herald. In proof of its
assertion, the department cites the
example of Panama
Prior to American control of the
Canal Zone the canal employees died
at the rate of 241 per 1000 each
year. Under American rule the
great ditch has been nearly complet-
ed with death rate among those
who built it of only ia per 1000.
In justice to the French it must be
said that the science of sanitation
was not so we'll developed when they
tried to bull dthe canal as it has been
since
Without sanitation there would
be no Panama Canal, as the bulletin
says. And what has ben done al
Panama can be done anywhere by in
telligent but firm control. YET

REGULATE ALL POOL ROOMS.

In the absence of a Young Men S
Christian Association in Hammond
the pool room is the only place of
recreation and amusement for nine
ty-nine out of hundred of the
young men of Hammond who work In
the stores, the factories, mills and
Offices
1t is impossible to say to these
young men that they can have no
pleasure and amusement, that they
must either go to a saloon to meet
their friends or stay at home.
In the search for recreation young
men are bound to congregate. They
are bound to have some common
place of amusement. They can't be
expected to spend their evenings at
church socials or in the public IL
brary.
The problem is one of providing
wholesome amusement for them.
There is nothing vicious in playing
billiards and pool. There are tables
in the best of clubs and even in Y.
NJ C. A. buildings
The problem, then, is one of elm
mating the vicious element from
these places. If the loafers could be
excluded from the poolrooms of the
city and these place were frequentei
only by the young men who are en-
ployed during the day and seek
amusement of this kind at night
there would be no pool room evil.
1t becomes then a matter of regu.
lation. If the pool room owners
were good managers they would solve
this problem themselves and save
their places of business the criticism
that comes every time a crime i.
! Matched up in a pool room.
Supposing every pool room owner
| in the city made and enforced tn.
| following rules:
| i. No young man who does no
| have some visible means of supper
is permitted to frequent these rooms
2. Loafers not wanted. Thi
room and these tables are intended
| for those who desire to play billiard
or pool, all others are excluded.
3. We cater to the man who i
| employed. Toughs and buns ar
| deadbeats anyway. They do not he'll
business.
! And upon the failure of the pro
prietor to enforce these rules SUP
posing the police enforced them
there would be much less crime trac
ed to the pool rooms of the city.

RETURN TO GAS FOR FUEL.

With another advance of cents in
crude oil. which puts the price a $1.22
for the North Lima and SLIT for the
Indiana and South Lima product, many
manufacturing concerns are sitting up
and taking notice. Among Hartford
City concerns which have been using
the crude oil for fuel are the American
Window Glass Company, the Johnston
Glass Company and the Sheath Glass
Company. The prohibitive price Of
this fuel forces a return to the use OF
gas. The advance today marks the
fifth in many weeks weeks and 1T

THOSE sTENCIL-PLATE ARTISTS

The annual holiday crop of artistic
calendars shows the poverty of the
men who made them, despite skill
they employ. One and all, the faces
which are used are those which the
artists have made their sign manuals,
their trademarks, SO to speak, as if
they were patent medicine men or
manufacturers of a new brand of
tobacco.
You can tell a Gibson girl, Coles
Phillips, Fisher or Wenzel as far
as you can see her. They have be-
come such familiar faces that their
beauty, their piquancy. their general
allure. has become deadened by
familiarity
Speaking as mere layman. whose
joy in work lies largely in the va
riety of it, the fact that these men
make the same outlines over and
over again seems a wanton desecra-
tiOn of talent. The mere monotony of
it must be terrible, the spirit of COM
merce which it obtrudes must have a
vulgarizing if not a destroying effect
upon the ambition
Here are men who do nothing but
stencil-plate themselves over and
over again Once Gibson did break
away from the grind. He threw
away his pen and ink and took to
the brush and palate, but the venture
was not success, commercially or
artistically And SO he is now back at
the old trade again, tramping around
circle like a blind horse in a mill
all along the line of artistic en-
deavor. 1t is particularly true of the
stage, where one success, a marked
distinctive, spectacular success, puts
shackles ON a mans ambitions. If he
makes a hit as the player of silly
ass Englishmen he is doomed tC
