Fashion Rules in Arabia as Does in Atlanta
NO SUBTRACT THERE

Woman is eternal and universal. The
feminine is all pervading, whether dis
played in the olive groves of old Ara
oia or the asphalted streets of At
lanta' Testimony to that effect was
borne today by Mrs. Homer Brett, wife
or one of the American consuls to Ara
bia and former Atlanta girl visiting
in the city.
For what matters 1t If Arabian wom-
en- have bigger feet, asks Mrs. Brett;
II their swarthy skin is a far, far cry in
complexion from the velvety peach
blown cuticle of the Georgia girl; if the
beauties of Mahomet's land wear much
fewer clothes; if they would not recog-
nize joke were it to arise and embrace
them?
They reveal their kinship on the all
important feminine topic of fashions.
Inc Atlanta girl runs to furs and feath-
ers and tinge of rouge. The Arabian
girl gloats over rings on her fingers
and bells on her toes, loops through her
ears and rings through her nose. But
ZIG Principe is the same.
Fashions do make sisters of us ALL"
said Mrs. Brett.
No Suffragettes
There is one difference however, she
explained. Suffrage does not bother the
Arabians
Far from heaving bricks and cab
bages at the sultan, they go into re-
i~Dy a.
seeing forth from lattice porches all the
while. The sultan keeps a harem of
four women who seldom appear in So
ciety or on the streets, although the
curiosity of visitors and natives is
great.
Mrs. Brett is a former Albanian,
reared in Kirl<weod, and she is visiting
her friends, Mr.. and Mrs. James Duffy,
at 74S Piedmont avenue AS Miss Ona
Bell Wellborn she met Homer Brett, of
Mississippi, in Washington. They were
married there several years ago and
the young consul took his bride away
to Maskat, Arabia, where they have re-
sided since. Mrs. Brett came from Mis-
sissippi to Atlanta a few days ago and
she will soon go back to Washington,
to ask President Wilson and Senator
Hoke Smith to have Mr.. Brett trans
ferred to point closer home.
No Place Like Home.
America is the best country after
ALL" declared Mrs Brett, and Atlanta
Is the best city / have ever known
Arabia is interesting and travel is fas-
chatting but there is no place like
home. 1 should like to come back here

GETTING GRAY} USE SAGE TEA To
RESTORE NATURAL COLOR OF HAIR

Simply ask at any drug store for a
50-cent bottle of the ready to use
preparation, called ''Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy" Gus
toners like this best because it dark
ems so naturally. so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides, it contains ingre-
dents which take off dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. No, it
isn't dye or even like it. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and
draw it through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two it is re-
stored to it's natural color.
What delights the ladies with Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur is that be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
they say it brings back the gloss and
luster and gives it an appearance of
abundance. Elkin Drug Co, Special

Mrs. Brett declared that she was un-
alterably for suffrage, although she did
not think that this question would ever
be disturbing factor in Arabia. cot
course, women who pay taxes on prop
erty ought to have a voice in making
the laws that govern them she said.
why should they be governed by men
who pay only a percentage of the taxes
and whose judgment is not always of
the best? Most women have more
sense, anyway"
Two male visitors at the Duffy home
started to go, but Mrs Brett exclaimed:
Now, L didn't mean it that way. Men
should, of course, be looked to on the
big problems with which woman is not
familiar. l shouldn't care to vote, but
| think all qualified women who want
to vote should be given the privilege,
even though lots of women might vote
with their husbands and lots of hus-
bands with their wives
Maskat Quaint City.
Mrs, Brett showed books OF pictures
with Arabian scenes, and exhibited two
heavy solid gold bracelets fashioned by
hand. The Arabian nights are unusu-
ally warm, declared Mrs. Brett, the
temperature at times in mild weather
going as high as 105, and much higher
on the desert wastes.
Maskat streets are ever so narrow,
making the use of automobiles and 9TH
er conveyances almost impossible. The
city is rich in the lore of castles and
rulers, with a castle still standing here
and there.

Says Sage and Sulphur Dark
ems Hair Beautifully and
Ends Dandruff.

Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when it fades turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair, says a well known local
pharmacist. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and even today TINS SIM
pie preparation has no equal. Mil
lions of women and men, too, who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only Sage Tea and Sui
phur.
Nowadays we are not bothered
with the task of gathering the sage
leaves and the mussy mixing at home.

Chalres, Fla, Sept. 5.--The large res

family dwelling many years ago, and
which was purchased by G. w. Patter-
son eight or ten years ago, and had
been occupied by his widow and chill
dren several years, is now a pile Of
ashes. At II o'clock a. m. yesterday
flames were seen to issue from the top
of the house near its middle and before
any steps could be taken to put out
the fire, the whole building was
wrapped in flames, and every one
turned their attention to saving the
contents.
Many were in the village having
their cotton ginned. Hence q large
crowd soon assembled and by quick
work they carried out and conveyed to
places of safety all the most valuable
furniture. The piano was also saved.
1t is understood there was a small
amount of insurance carried on the
dwelling but nothing like full value.

experience:
I'VE took our respe ctive stations
near the camp IN order to intercept
any dangers which might menace fu-
ture American womanhood as repre-
scented by this contingency Of the
Camp Fire Girls Of America. The
first part of our watch presented no
incidents more disturbing than the
intermittent appearance of ghosts
probably of Indians murdered by De-
Soto's cruelty 400 years ago. But
the situation demanded the most COM
plete alertness to ward off the har
poems which the Santa Rosa mosquito
filings so dexterously.

peaceful, the sentry prepared to
snatch a few moments of sleep from
the fast departing night No sooner
