FulIer's Earth.

Fuller's earth son named from its

properties rather than a chemical an

value. Fullers earth was first pro-

ItaIy-The Emigrant Girl.
BY VIDA SUTTON.

A peculiar phase of the emigrant ques-
ton in Italy is the temporary emigra.
ton of girls from fourteen to nineteen OIL
twenty years of age into France, SWltzer-
land and Germany to work in the rae
tories there, and by a system of economy
that amounts almost to starvation te
save their earnings until they have
enough for marriage dover. Then
they return to Italy to marry. This II
seems, is the only way the girl In the
poorest classes can be sure of getting a
husband.
The number of such temporary emf
grants is amazing. In the factories OF
Germany there are 10000 young Italian
girls, 10000 in Switzerland and one fac
tory town alone in France employs near
ly thousand. They usually get their
places through an agent, who cares little
to what sort of a place he sends girl
so long as his commission is forthcoming
Their earnings vary from a franc to two
francs and a half a day go to so cents)
and in most of the factories in France
and in Switzerland they are housed as
we'll Out of the 20 or 20 cents comes
their food and clothing. AS little as ! or
rigid economy and privation a girl can
save from Is to % francs month 93 to
81, and return in two, three or some
times five years with the dover that is
to purchase domestic happiness. The sad
thing about their sojourn is that the life
of privation and hard work takes their
health and good looks: girl will age
ten years in one year of such life, and
often develops the germs of tuberculosis.
To protect and safeguard these girls
is the purpose of branch of the Italian
Womans Council. of which the Confess
Danieli CamoZzi is president.
The countessa, who is the mother OF
seven children and grandmother as
well, devotes her entire. time to the work
of the society. She has. with her daugh-
ter. made personal investigation of the
conditions in Germany and Switzerland.
The worst feature Of the German fac
tory is that the girls are not housed, but
live where they can. the usual arrange
ment being for a girl to pay six francs a
month for half a bed, which she shares
with a companion in room where there
are usually four other girls as well.
Signorina Beatrice Berio the secretary
| of the society, has just returned from q
| visit to France. She says that the worst

houses managed by nuns. But the dis

THE POSE OF THE HEAD
BY ABIGAIL MOORE.

Today women are serious in their de-
sire to be beautiful Many. ptifully
large number. are on the wrong trail, but
on the whole the craze for beauty making
is TO be read hopeful sign.
Now, apropos OF making the most of
every least point. has it ever occurred
to YOU TO seriously consider the poise of
your headn Have YOU ever realized that 1t
influences the pose of Your whole figure?
Suppose YOU are in the hab. OF throw
ing the head forward from the base of
the neck. a very common practice. or
that YOU allow ii to fall forward "a
though by its own weight. from the top
of the throat, the chin pointed upward
In either case. the center back is inclin-
ed TO be hollow and the shoulder blades
to protrude while in front the breast
bone is made unduly prominent.
Then the throat in short time become 5
enlarged through the center. the strain
being upon that part. and in due season
the muscles directly under the chin and
those about the base of the throat from
constant pull become strinsy and the
flesh about them flaboy. Unless such a
position is the result OF some organic
difficulty it can be corrected, though only
by degrees. Golfers are prone to the
trouble unless precaution is taken to
keep the chest up anG out all the time,
and in some cases actual deformity has
resulted through a hardening Of the
muscles or an enlargement of the bones
lust above and between the shoulders
In order to assume just the pcise of
the head that belongs to you individually,
study yourself in the mirror. II you have
small sharp features. beware fitting the
head at a sharp angle. 1t gives you
fox-like appearance. Try carrying the
head comparatively straight, with the
chin down, turned the slightest bit. turn
ing the shoulders slightly with the head
rather than moving the head on the neck
jerkily, as SO many small-featured per-
sons have the ungraceful way of doing.
If. on the contrary. your face is full
and the neck. instead of being long and
slender as the prescribed rules OF beauty
would have it. is thick and short, keep
your head poised as high as possible and
tilted trifie from the top. This gives
long line on the opposite side that is
generally effective. Also. the tit should
be trifie backward, producing also a
longer front line of the throat. AS you
study for this correct pose of the head,
note the effect each experiment has upon
the back. In fact. full-length mirror is
necessary. for only as the pose is COR
rectly in line with the whole figure, is it
successful. Dignity is in the pose of the
head carried high. but remember that.

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Sammy Jay and Mistah Mocker
Compare Notes.
BY Thornton W. RurGess.
Copyright. 1913. by J. &. Lloyd1

When Sammy Jay and Mistah Mocker
! the Mockingbird put their heads together
it didn't take them very long to decide
! that some one was at the bottom of all
the trouble they had had in the old or
chard. When Sammy told Mistah Mocker
1 that he hadn't stolen the eggs of Drum
| mer the Woodpecker, of course Mistah
| Mocker believed him. You see, he had
| overheard Sammy saying this very thing
| to himself. and people usually tell the
truth to themselves.
| Have you got any enemies?" asked
/ Mistah Mocker.
| Sammy gave him a funny. sidelong
look. Every body's my enemy" he re-
piled, shortly
Not everybody. Bre'r Jay. Not every
body" exclaimed Mistah Mocker
/ Sammy laughed. Il didn't mean to in
clude you. Mistah Mocker, said he,
i though it looks to me as if you were
| trying to get me into trouble when you
used my voice to fool your friends in the
/ Cd orchard
| Mistah Mocker hung his head and look
! ed little bit ashamed. That's so, it
does look SO, Brer Jay: it certnly does
look that way he confessed. But All
| gives yo NAH word of honor sab. All
! never thought of that. 1t was just a
| joke
| Jokes that hurt other people are pretty
poor things" replied Sammy, and to have
heard him you would have thought that
ne mad never done mean thing or UNI
kind thing in his life. What made YOU
think Of that particular joker?
Why. All didn't think of it myself.
Bre'r Chatterer the Red Squirrel gave
| me the idea" said Mistah Mocker,
scratching his head thoughtfully.
''Ha.'' cried Sammy Jay, and his eyes
snapped TEL me all about it,
So Mistah Mocker told how he met
Chatterer and how the latter had told
| him that Sammy Jay and Drummer the
Woodpecker had Quarreled and what a
| good joke 1t would be for Mistah Mocker
i to hide in the old orchard. and with his
wonderful voice make Drummer and his
nelshbors think that it was Sammy Jay
hidden there.
| Sammy Jay didn't wait to hear any
more. That's the one that's at the bot
| tom of all our trouble.' he cried ex-
citedly. II might have known it, They
call me thief, and | suppose that some
times / do steal, but I'm honest com
pared to Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
| Why, I've known him to steal from his
own father. and l wouldn't do a thing
| like that. No. sir; I wouldn't do thing
| like that Sammy sWelled himself up
| and tried to look the picture of all that
| is good. You can depend upon it that
| Chatterer stole those eggs from Drum
mer the Woodpecker and laid it onto me-
| And he used you to get Drummer out of
the way. Yes, sir, he used you to help
him.

THE MEAL UPSTAIRS

IN the minds Of some persons there is
prejudice against the meal served up

come to the dining room go hungry

this way they dismiss the meal upstairs.
