LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
THE NECK AND SHOULDERS.
By BLANCHE BEACON

Leon Baskt paints abnormally long,
slender necks. Most of our modern
magazine illustrators paint a neck
that seems slightly shorter than the
ordinary neck. The ancient painters
were fond of depicting what they
termed a Swan neck.
And nowadays, any style of neck
long or shorts considered beauti-
full provided it is placed nicely and
curves down on the shoulders in the
approved manner-and my picture IL
illustrates the approved manner.
have several times raved my own
particular little rawlings against high,
stiff collars. And I am glad to say,
that the soft turn down collar is slow
ly but surely coming to stay Eman-
cfpation is so delightful that few care

dial that had ever disturbed the peace
Of the Sagebrush State, and the central
figure around which the story of cor
ruptton and bribery would center
would be his father! For five long
minutes he sat in grim silence, frown-
ing at the miserable traitor, who was
shifting Uneasily in his chair under
the cold glare of the hereditary BIount
eyes. But when all was over the trail

to return to slavery.
And by the way. Use plenty or
cold water on your neck. 1t toughens
the skin, and the skin of the neck
is too sensitive naturally. 1t also keeps
one from catching cold easily. Do
not wear furs of any kind up around
the bare neck. never would wrap
up my neck anyway, but if you want
to do so, wrap a silken scarf around
it first This is very important. Furs
can implant a layer of CRIME and
germs on the neck that it takes hours
of scrubbing to effectua1ly remove
and hours of scrubbfng are not good
for any neck.
Think a little more about your neck
and shoulders and a. little less about
your face and hands.

POLICE BOARD IN
BRIEF SESSION

A member of Bridgeport police de-
partment may tear his uniform trou-
sers in the performance of duty and
or repaired at city expense, but no
such expectations can be held if rub
Der boots are the property damaged.
Policeman Joseph T. Coughlin wrote
the police commissioners that a hole
was cut in one of his boots by a piece
of metal while visiting Green & Lo-
CAMS plumbing establishment in Main
street, near Congress. Commissioner
Lou p Bristol made a, motion at the
meeting of the board last evening that
the communication be returned. Pres
ident George S. Hill interpreted the
action meaning that Policeman
Coughlin be given leave to withdraw
and Commissioner Bristol agreed that
the Interpretation was correct.
Arthur B. Smith was given leave to
withdraw charges against Policeman
Frederick H. Marco, thereby vindicat-
ing the officer. The charges were as
sau1t and conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger. At the last session they were re-
ferred to the subcommittee on disci-
pine. The finding was that Policeman
Marco was doing correctly in connec-
ton with Mr. Smiths child.
William A. Pieper of 128 Seaview
avenue and Frederick H. Downs of
1859 Noble avenue were elected spe-
ciaI policemen. The latter has recent
1y been appointed as agent of the Con-
nectfcut Humane society. Policeman
Larsen and Dorman Ruggles were the
only policemen reported off duty.
Doorman Ruggles is expected to re-
turn to duty within another month
and Policeman Larsen was given an
other months leave of absence. The
session lasted less than 20 minutes.

PUMA G0RDA'S WINTER
More Travel than Usuaf-AH Hotels
Have Had Good Season

Considering the mild winter
in the north as compared with the
rigorous weather that usually pre-.
walls in that part of the country
at this time of the year, the travel
to this part of Florida has been
more than what might have been
expected. Punta Gorda has had
even more visitors this winter than
last and our hotels and boarding
houses have apparently all had a
good season.
Hotel Punta Gorda has register.
eel to date about seven hundred
guests and these have been people
that the management of this fine
tourist hostelry has brought here
through judicious advertising, and
who probably would not have
come here otherwise, and it has
thus been worth a great deal to
the city to have the hotel open
again. The other hotels and
boarding houses of the city have
not divided patronage with Hotel
Punta Gorda. On the other hand,
the combined number of guests
registering at the New Southland
and Travellers hotels to date pro-
badly exceeds the record of last
season.
Manager Payne of Hotel Punta
Gorda, says that the season has
been better than he expected it to
be. The house having remained
closed for several years, while in
volved in litigation it was not
thought that the patronage it en-
joyed in former days could he
brought back in any one season
vet the business done has been
satisfactory enough to insure the
opening of the house again next
season. J, Nearly every one who
has stopped here during this win
ter, has been well pleased ana
leave with the intention of coming
again. A pleased patron is the
best advertisement and these visi-
tors will bring other visitors next
winter, for Mr.. Payne endeavors
to made things pleasant for all his
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1913-03-13

guests and he has been compli-
mented by many of them for the
treatment he has accorded them.
Nearly a month yet remains of
the tourist season, and before it
closes the records will show up
still better, for visitors come in
on every train. Amongst other
recent arrivals is one gentlemen
from Pottstown, Pa, who was
here earlier in the winter-Louis
G. Lessig, president of big iron
company-he came here for a
ree-dav's stay over a month ago,
remained three weeks and left for
points in South Carolina, thence
to return home. He came back
Sunday to stay unit! the end of
season. He previously.tele
to Mr.. Payne that he was coming
back to catch some more tarpon.
j. r. Rocks of the Boston and
Name railroad, with his wife and
sister-in-law, Miss Jessie Brown,
are also recent arrivals at Hotel
Punta Gor,la; and Miss Ramona
Borden, daughter of Gail Borden
of New York, the millionaire con-
densed milk packer, accompanied
by her tutor, is among other
guests recently arrived; and
number of others have come in
during the past few days, indicat-
ing that the hotel will have a nice
number of guests right up to the
closing day, April 10th.
The New Southland and Travel
lers hotels are also having good
patronage, many guests arriving
each day. On the whole, it has
been a good winter and but for
the mild weather all over the
country, the travel to this section
would have been much heavier;
but it bespeaks an even better
travel for next winter, as all who
have spent a pleasant season here
this time will be the means of
bringing others year from now
