Why on earth will women daub pow.
der on their faces until they look as
if they had been unskillfully white
washed, and then go out OF the street
imagining that they look beautiful?
As for rouge. there isn't one woman
in a thousand that knows how to put
it on properly. The effect is generally
the same as in the ase of ~bleached
hair-every line and blemish of the
face stands out. and the rouged WON
an looks about ter years older than
she naturally would. If a oma can
put it on so that it blends into the
skin and we can't tell whether she is
rouged or not-well that's her "
business. But it takes an artist 70 do
it, and the average woman shouldn
fatter herself that she has especial
talents along that line.-Womans

keecer of Secrets Of KINGS.

Lord Knollys, who is retiring, after
having been private secretary 10 King
George and the late King Edward,
has received many tempting offers to
write his autobiography. but, needless
to say has steadfastly resisted them
all. An enterprising publisher, from
the United States, once ran him down
during his vacation, and placed a
blank check before him, inviting him
TO fill it in for any sum he liked to
name in return for a book of nc fewer
than 10000 words.
My terms would be five million dol
lars, Lord Knollys remarked, quietly

cious, sir, are you %serious?" ne asked
Quite Lord knollys rejoined. and
then. with one Of his merry wrinkles
OF his eyes, he said
Would it not be worth a good deal
more to you if | had to say frankly
all I know?"
The publisher realized the force OF
the argument, and was bound to ad-
nit that it would be a hopeless task
to induce an indiscretion on the part
OF the veteran courtier.

DESIGNS ARE VARIED
WIDE CHOICE ALLOWED IN THE
MATTER OF NECkWEAR.
Medici Shapes Probably the Prettiest
Of the Many That Have the Ap-
nrovaI of Fashion-Selection

Not all the collars rolling away from
the throat belong under the Robe
5pierre heading, though that classified
ton has become elastic enough to
cover the host Of shapes hat have not
the remOtest kinship with the Ori-
ginal Robespierre model. The So
called Medici shapes have followed
close upon the hels of the Robespierre
fad and now one sees quantities of
collars, which, instead of rolling
slightly and then turning down in
deep points, fare out from the throat
and roll at the edge without turning
down. OF ourse in all such shapes
there is some faint echo Of the famous
Nedici collar, and so the name clings
TO all the variation or the theme.
Some of the Medici models are eX-
ceedingly attractive and, if becoming
at all, are extremely SO. They vary
greatly in width, spread Of flare and
clOseness to the throat, some of them
hugging the throat quite close at the
base and tiaring only toward the top,
others being set lower and standing
away from the throat a little all
around. One collar stands high at the
sides and back, rolling slightly at the
upper edge, and the fare widens at
the sides. The sides OF the collar
slant toward the trent at the base and
fasten with a soft bow of silk. There
is also an attached frill OF lace which
falls to the waistIine in cascade eff
feet.
Many of the Medici models are
made up in satin and worn outside a
transparent close collar, or are re-
solved into a faring Medici frill top
ping a close stock of satin or velvet.
But a wired lace collar such as de-
scribed is, if made up cleverly and
of lovely lace. a very picturesque and
delightful bit of neckWear.

REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
Sanatorium Where Tuberculosis May
Be Cured is Worth Much TO
Any State or City.

DR.. H. L. Barnes, superintendent Of
the Rhode Island State Sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some in.
teresting studies of patients discharg.
ed as apparently cured from that in
stitution that a sanatorium Is a sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of 10 ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to Sl02, 1872,
and those Of 211 cases in 1912 to SIP
OIL. BY applying the same average
earning 10 all eX-patientS of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912. Dr.
Barnes concludes that their income in
these two years was $0o1.000. This
sum is more than three times the cost
of maintenance OF the sanatorium in
Guiding interest at 4 per cent. on the

ever: While institutions for the cure
Of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far ad-
vanced cases would be still better in
yestments.'

seasons. is now strongly emphasized

1.-THE CLIMATE OF
WESTERN CANADA"
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CAN
AOA'S IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February 8, 1913, pub
lished in a Peoples Voice" column in
a Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions in Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions, etc.,
says: 1--WE have had fine weather un-
til New Years, when some snow fell
and it was cold for a few days, but
during the past few days we have
lovely weather again" The writer,
who lives near Davidson. Sask., says
they got from 80 to 35 bushels Of wheat
per acre, 60 bushels of oats and about
20 bushels of flax. All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land
can be bought at reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd Of February
there were eighty-four and a quarter
hours Of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1912, when the meteorolog-
ical department registered 100 hours
for the % days.
February was exceptionally fine all
through, but 1912 went II better, and
was a glorious month. However, TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting in heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures in
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred on Tuesday morning, when
the thermometer registered 23.5 below
and the coolest Wednesday was II be

Wearer is slender and fairly long the
effect is usually ID, but the short
necked woman should avoid the stock
with top frill as She would the plague.
When the frill goes across the back
merely, the collar is more generally
becoming than when it runs all
around, and these net or lace frills
at the back are often quite deep, fall
ing far below the base of the neck.
The all around frill varies in width
from an inch to the depth of the
collar.
The craze for Bulgarian or Orien-
tai colorings shown in frocks and
