To take up one of the comm honest of beauty ills, and devote considerable thought upon ft-let us consider the saIlow skin
 EaIlow skin usually comes with middle age, although some very young women frequently are so af- -flicted- One of the commonest and sfronest reasons for 1t is form Of self -drugging, that is, excessive tea or coffee drinking.
 Perhaps Mi1ady does not think that she drinks. tea or coffee to excess. In explanation of the term, let me add that I should consider excess more than one cup of either at a meal. Some women ought not to even drink that much. think your physician can give you good advice along that line
 As an offset to this, a cup of hot or cold water immediately upon rising will do a great deal A little or6in- ary table salt added to the water now and then will act as a laxative. Sal 1owness means that certain acid-Qual- ities are secreted in the glands of your skin Until you purge yourself of these. it will be useless to bleach your skin or pile on powder. Beauty is more than skin deep.
 Another cure fer sallowness is plenty of sleep-and by sleep I mean beauty sleep. An old theory defines beauty sleep as that sleep obtained between the hours of eight and twelve in the evening. Modern theories rather scout this idea Personally, I am inclined to give the old fashioned theory credit for being a pretty souni one after all There is something peculiarly restful in the sleep obtain- ed in the first hours of the night. \
 While you are doing all you can to regulate your system it is a good idea to use bleaches and whiteners on your skin.
 Thus, while you are striving and working to eradicate the cause of your sa11ow skin, the cosmetics, if properly used, will do good tempo rary service in clearing up your com

Life and the World Joqs On.

The woman looks upon her youthful romance as only the dream or the past. The memory of the man harks back to those other days with a pang of re- morse. He planes himself for not put ting forth more zest to make up with her. In after years should they chance to meet, it is an embarras ssing moment to both. It's a case of two souls with but a single thought" and that is "Ah! could we but live over again that time when we were dear to each other" Each endeavors to show the other in difference, but the attempt fails of it's purpose. Memories suddenly rise up in both hearts which will not down standing at the gate whispering a ten der good night; the sleighride, when he first slipped his arm about her waist, and breathed into her ears the old old sweet story; the terrible or deal of being spied in their first kiss,

ART LEAGUE1EXHIBTT
 IS VERY ATTRACTIVE

The rooms of the Bridgeport Art League in the Newhe1d Building are gaily decorated with beautiful speci- mems of the soeiety's work. On the walls hang table covers, pillows and bags, rich with the soft blending of coIors of the block printing. There are beautiful linens with insets of hlet crochet.
 In conspicuous places on the tables are fern globes, containing glowing red partridge berries, besides, tiny ferns, pretty mosses and a hepatica plant or two. These little pieces of the deep woods will last for years, growing more beautiful all the while.
 Tiny donkey pen wipers, made from wishbones, and having black wax heads and feet bear this message on a. card:
 'tOnce I was a wiShbone
 And grew upon a hen,
 Now am a. little slave
 Made to wipe your pen"
 Among the ornamental reed and raffIa baskets a most interesting one is the Mary Elizabeth Flower Bas- ket,'' this will hold a good1y armfu1 of posies when the garden is in full bloom. Others are F1orentine bas- kets, flower holders and trays of every description.
 Interesting casters for the table nave a round piece or glass Den1n0 which carefully pressed wild flowers and ferns are placed in artistic ar rangement. This gives the effect of handpainting on the glass and as the raf11a work which holds the caster to- gether, corresponds in color to the flowers the effect is very beautiful. Pieces of hand decorated china, in handsorne designs, also grace the ta- bIes.
 There are number of beautiful calendars, pictures, and Christmas cards in water and oil co1ors.
 A box of Bayberry candles occupies prominent place and each candle carries a card with a Christmas mes sage for the burner of the Bayberry candle.
 Each prominent place on the wall is occupied by a gracefully drapei scarf, black printed in soft tones, There is also a table filled with ex- quisite fancy work. Every one of the designs in each branch of the arts IS original.
 The fair will continue for the rest of the week from 10 A. M. to g P. M. To-day the craft workers are exhib- iting their work in the making, that is, there is someone doing basketing, another embroidering and so on.

AT DAVIS THEATRE.
The Sins of the Father.

Audiences that made up in apprecia- ton what they lacked in numbers wit messed the production of the masterful southern drama, The Sins of the Fa- ther, at the Davis theatre both Satur- day afternoon and evening. The play portrayed with vividness home life in the south. Tragic action was inter- mingled with real negro fun in such a manner that the audience was kept in state of expectation throughout the evening. Hal Castle in the role of Major Daniel Norton, the father, DOT trayed in a masterful manner the southern gentleman, and Andrew Rog- CTS as Tom Norton, his son, presented his part equally well. Helen Wfnslow, the majors ward. around whom the trend of the play centered, proved an attraction as great as the play itself and won the undivided admiration of all her hearers. Marie Falls in the role of Cleo, the majors housekeeper, whose cunning held the stern and proud major i'll subjection presented her part very strongly, and J. w. CoweH and Louise COwell as Andy and Aunt Minerva, the two colored servants, brought down the house with their unique comedy.

 AT SHELTERING ARMS
Rector and Choir of St. Andrews Church Brought Helpful Message.

There was evening prayer and an address by Rev. F. Johns Bohanan, rector of St. Andrews Episcopal church at the Sheltering Arms Sunday afternoon. The text used was Heav- mess may endure for night but joy coneth in the morning. He said in part The times in our life when we are inactive are times of refreshing and preparation for greater work. Glorious sunshine comes after the darkness of the night. From the darkness of Calvary has come the light of salvation. God knows how to transform sadness into joy. Time is slowly slipping away, the presence of Christ fits us for eternity. the presence of the Good Shepherd gives us com fort and real joy. He is changing the darkness of this life into the dawn of eternity.
 The hymns for the day were sup plemented by special music at the close consisting of piano solo by the accompanist, Miss Hazel Banfield and two soprano solos, Rest. Rest for Weary, and A Dream of Paradise by Mrs. H. M. Baker, all of which gave much pleasure. Other members of the choir were Miss Elizabeth Smith Miss Lucia Mathews, MT. and Mrs. Edward Griffith.
