Woman's Age of Beauty.

At what age is a woman most
beautiful" is a question that
has caused a good deal of spirit
ed discussion in Partisan art cir
cles. The president Of h e
School of Fine Arts, M. Ferdi-
nand Humbert, has two ideals.
AS an artist his favorite type is
between the ages of Is and rs
the period of "radient youth"
AS a mere man, however. he con-
siders a woman between the ages
of Is and IS the most charming
and fascinsting.

STAGE VILLAINS.
Not Those Who Play the SeoundrelIl
Parts, but the Real Ones.

NOT nose VINO RAY Sne ScounoTelly
Parts, but the Real Ones.
The true villain of the stage is not
always the one who strives to kidnap
the heroine and bestow a violent death
upon the hero, for jealousy and the
acts prompted by it lead not only the
ladies but also the men to resort to IN
principled methods to disgrace a rival.
One or two of the tricks are quite
common, notably that Of doing some
thing to make another player miss his
or her cue. In one case an actress car
ried fan, which she used deliberately
to blow the sound of her low spoken
syllables away from the other actress.
AS a result the latter had great diff
Guilty in catching her cues, so much so
that the audience began to speak of
her as poor actress, although in other
pieces she had been praised most high
ly by the critics.
An equally common trick is for the
actor to step toward the back of the
stage. This causes his victims face to
be turned away from the audience, the
consequence being that not only his
voice is lost, but his features are in
visible and his efforts thus spoiled
Still another device which has been
utilized by stage criminals" is that of
anticipating the laugh of a comedian
with a broad smile or grin. This little
trick takes the edge off the fun result
ing from the other actors lines.
One Of the simplest ways of running
the effect of an act is by dropping
something at the crucial moment The
instant this is done the minds Of the
audience will go like a fash TO this IN

away from the words of the speaker

not many months are passed without
some obstruction of the bowels, in other

laxative is not taken that night it is
certain that sleep will not be sound,
and you will awaken unrefreshed.

Is 1t True?

According to statistics present
ed by the American Institute of
Homeopathy, in session at Den
yer, 100000 babies of the
100000 bies born each
die before they are two
months old, and of from ''im-
proper food and improper feed
ing" and 100000 from dis
eases attributable to errors in
diet" In presenting the Stats
tics DR.. Joseph P. Cobb. of Chi
cago, said: I'm other words, of
the half million babies who fail
to live a twelvomonth after birth,
100000 could be saved if phvsi-
clans. mothers and nurses used
the proper care in feeding them.
1t is, at the least, somewha
comforting that the doctor is
willing to place much of the
blame on the physicians and on
the nurses. 1t is even possible
that if the mothers themselves
supervised the feeding of the
babies, without too much scien-
tific supervision, the death rate
would not be so pathetically
great. But there are other con-
siderations. The death rate of
babies is tremendously greater
in the cities than in the country
districts or in the smaller towns.
Crowded tenelnents row
streets, foul atmosphere from
the slums, poverty and absolute
lack of the necessaries Of life in
very many instances, must bear
their share of the burden of the
infant death rate
There has been an awakening
Of late to the necessity of play
grounds in the larger cities for
the use of the children of the al
legs and the slums. But infants
under one year, no matter how
healthy, cannot use the play
grounds. The play ground is all
right-but the beginning of the
overthrow Of the death rate
ought to begin at the beginning
of the cause. And that begin
ming is in the cleaning out of the
alleys; the erection of tenement
houses of a completely different
order than that of the present.
order; the cleaning ofthe streets
as they ought to be cleaned in
stead of the cleaning on the Or
der of the demands of politics;
the cutting of weeds from the
streets-and paying some great
er attention to the mother of the
infant of two mouths, or less, for
it is in that class, according to
DR.. Cobb, that death reaps his
harvest of 400, annually. In
cleaning up politics, also clean
up the streets and the tenements
and stay in the country liz
stead of rushing to death in the
overcrowded cities!-Owensboro
