FATIGUE A FOE TO BEAUTY
Woman Who Would Retain Charm
Should Avoid Allowing Herself
to Be Victim of OverWork

Over-fatigue is foe to beauty.
Even if there were no lasting effects
from it, which there are, a wearied
look in a woman's face adds nothing
to her charm. Rather, it is as the ap-
pearance of a faded flower compared
with that of fresh one The muscles
and muscular tissues become grad
ually weak and show themselves with
particular perversity in ugly rings and
bags about the eyes, in a lengthening
of the lines between the nose and
the mouth, and a general sagging.
Fatigue, too, has direct effect upon
the stomach muscles, causing them to
sag also, and become unable to work
properly, and this, in turn, reflects
upon the complexion, rendering it sal
low and eventually blotched. So, /
say, avoid fatigue.
Rest whenever you can. Whatever
the routine of your day may be, it is
possible for you to snatch a moment,
or, at least, second or two, here and
there, of complete relaxation. Take
a long breath and relax, then go on
at tension if necessary, but it is rare
ly, very rarely, necessary, and there
is a point to be made much Of Re
sist tension.
Battle the tired face in cold water
1t stimulates circulation, and brings
relief, at least to ones feelings, even
If its effect does not go very far be-
meath the surface. Hot water follow
ed by cold dash is also refreshing
AMI especially is to be recommended
to the woman of nervous tempera-
ment. A few drops of camphor in ice
water makes an excellent lotion for
the rejuvenation of the tired face
muscles, but it should be followed by
the application of a good face cream.
Remove the cream with a dry, soft
cloth and behold, you feel like new
woman.

Don't you see him enough at race

| manager.
Stanton was recalling that interview
! as he went up the stairs of the quiet
apartment house indicated After all,
it was true that Floyd might have
volunteered his address, himself, If
1. he had wished it known. Perhaps he
did not want to see his driver unoffi-
cially. A sense of unwelcomeness op-
pressed Stanton, but he kept on his
way. He had never swerved from a
course because of the opinions of
others: he did not think of turning
back now.
Some one was singing, as he reached
the fourth floor; singing in smooth,
honey-rich, honey-golden contralto.
Warned Of his approach by the bell
pushed below, the door of the apart
ment was opened, SO that the melody
came flooding his hearing with it's
haunting familiarity A little old
Irishwoman in black silk was peering
up at the tall visitor on the threshold.
"Mr. Floyd?" he inquired. my
name Is Stanton"
The old servant drew back, smiling
invitation. and pushed aside a cur
tain. And Stanton saw Jessica Floyd
rise from her seat at the piano, TAX
ing step to meet him.
She was SO like Floyd that he could
have cried out in wonder, yet was
most purely and softly feminine. She
seemed taller, in her clinging pale
blue gown, and even more slender, but
Floyd's silver-gray eyes looked out
from her long lashes, Floyd's bronze
curls clustered around her wide
brows, under the braids wound about
her head, and her smile was a more
timid reflection of the incarnate sum
shine of his.
'I am sorry Jes is not at home" she
said, holding out her hand with nat
ural grace Of hospitality that rose
above her nervous shyness T am

Of Black Charmeuse.

The feature of the skirt lifted by
means of a few plaits is as universal
now as the train. On lovely afternoon
dress of black charmeuse the skirt was
thus lifted beneath three very large jet
buttons, and the fullness was looped
round towards the back in graceful
folds. The corsage of this gown had
very elegant sailor collar of fine lace
and revers of the same in front, max
ing a. charming little heart-shaped
opening, which just revealed the col

Stanton was not always gentle, but
he had tact enough when he chose to
exert it. With a natural change Of
tone he moved away from personali
ties, speaking of the race and the race

"Will your brother be home to-

He hesitated, in the grasp of an i'm

patriotic fervor by sons Of La Belle

Count Perreard's French castle in Thir-
teenth Street last night. the occasion be-
ing the anniversary of the fall of the
Bastile. or. in other words, the French
Fourth of July. which in that beloved
country, falls on the 18th.
Disguised beyond expression with the
excise laws embargo on the fair sex's
unrestricted presence and activities on
occasions of this kind, Count Perreard
shipped himself to Baltimore late Sum-
day night to celebrate the day in monu-
mental style in that city. The count re-
turned to his beloved castle late last
night to put the finishing touches on the
day among his friends and cheer their
dropping spirits.
The first thing the count did was to
recite the French declaration of indepen-
Gence 1t was followed up with a rendi-
tion of the Marseillaise.
