HOLD LOVE LETTERS SACRED
vehe ment Protests Made Against PUB
lie Sale of EpistIes Belonging to
the Poet Browning.

The coming auction sale in London
of the original of the Poet Browning's
love letters which have already been
published in book form, has raised
anew the question whether it is proper
to sell love letters.
In this case the sale Is being ef-
fected by an Italian lady friend of the
poets son, who died recently, leaving
her the Browning family papers. But
people who tolerated without word
of protest the publishing of the con
tents of these letters now tiercely re-
probate the sale of the actual docu-
ments.
Marie Corelli says: Il think the
sale by auction or otherwise OF any
private letters whatsoever disgrace
to the venders and a scandal to the
nation"
Baroness Orczy gives this opinion:
"A public sale of mans most init
mate letters is a positive outrage.
Money-seeking vulgarity can go no
further"
Stephen Phillips thinks the letters
should certainly not be sold: 1t is. in
deed. to sell cheap what is most
dear"
Clement Shorter takes this view:
"Browning's son should have de-
stroyed everything he didn't publish" ="

HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND
BLACKHEADS

For pimples and blackheads the fol-
lowing is a most effective and eco
nomical treatment: Gently smear the
affected parts with Cuticura Oint-
ment, on the end of the finger but
do not rub. Wash off the Cuticura
Ointment in five minutes with Cuti-
cura Soap and hot water and continue
bathing for some minutes. This treat
ment is best on rising and retiring
At other times use Cuticura Soap
freely for the toilet and bath, to as
sist in preventing inflammation. irri-
tation and clogging of the pores, the
common cause of pimples, blackheads,
redness and roughness, yellow, oily,

tions of the skin.

the fake fights carried out that 1t is
difficult to distinguish the fake from

enemies in the outside world often

A clever system OF signaling. said

ExAttorney General Wickersham is
planning to humanize the regulations
governing federal prisoners. Instead OF
compelling convicts to eat their meals
at long tables. with the injunction
that they must not speak to their
neighbors, as has been the custom for
many years, Mr. Wlckersham intend
ed to have eight couvicts seated at
each table and give them the privi-
lege OF conversing during meals.

In most of the great prisons, but

Fashions fancieEs

Bulgarian colors are seen in the
peplum jackets OF satin, worn with
cloth skirts.
To preserve the good lines of the
soft, clinging gowns wear low corset
and brassiere.
A tailored bow of a vivid color is
seen under a piece of lace or net that
fills in the slashed skirt.
Marie Stuart effects in collars are
much used in Paris. They are carried
out in velvet, satin, fur and1plaited
lace.
Jet girdIes are encircling many eve
ming gowns. These are made of large
fiat jet beads arranged on a net
foundation.
Plated peplums are noticeable on
party frocks for young girls. They
look prettiest when made of chiffon,
tulle or net.
Belts are high in favor on coat
dresses and skirts. Usually the belt

in a little fulness.
Mautelets of taffeta made up in
colors contrasting to that used in the
gown are very chic. Very often these
are draped to give the pannier effect.
The Watteau effects are very popu-
lar and graceful on some figures.
They should be avoided by the persons
whose figure does not have straight

Children's CoIored Dresses.

and many fancy cotton tissues are be-
ing employed for colored dresses for
children. says the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. Combinations of plaids and
stripes with plain colors are also de-
sirable. For example, dress of plaid
gingham will have the collar, revers,
belt and cuffs in r plain color, while
a dress of percale will have trimmings
of plaid. The vogue of colored ratine
has extended to the children's wear
field. Manufacturers of high-class
goods are beginning to use them to
considerable extent, both in solid
colors and in stripes and checks
Colored crepes and eponges are also
considered smart and make up into

METAL FLOWERS AND FANClES
Return Of Idea That Was the Extreme
Of Fashion Only Few
Seasons Past.

One might have imagined that
there was nothing less likely to hap.
pen than the return of metallic eff.
fects, for it is not so very long since
they were sufficiently in the forefront
of fashion to make their return a
most unlikely forecast. Yet here we
are glittering as much as ever with
cloth of gold for our evening attire
and brocades richly shot with gold
making some of the smartest toques
and draped hats that are worn on the
street.
Gold lace is also millinery feature
that seems worth mentioning and one
thing in favor of metallic effects re
naming among the more exclusive OF
the seasons details is that they are
chiefly confined to the more expensive
ornaments.
Silver as well as gold is to be seem
especially in the form of large plain
buckles or of the full blown roses that
are so soft and graceful in silver and
gold cloth.
broidery are much used for feather
mounts, and even without a feather
such a motif is a sufficient finish fol
a smart tailored hat. Jet ornaments
are used in the same way, and par
adse plume cannot be set on more eff
fectively than as the fringe of large
double bow of handsomely cut jet.
