Boards AND BARE FACES.
Shaving Was at One Time Considered
Almost a Crime.

Almost Crime.
We need not 20 so far back as the
eighteenth century to find Englishmen
who held that shaving was "agen God
ana nature" In the nineteenth. James
Ward. Il. A. in defense Of the
Beard" set forth eighteen reasons for
retaining it. mainly Scriptural. re-en
forced by artistic considerations
What would Jupiter be without
board?" AS late as 1860 Thelogos pub
lished treatise entitled "Shaving-A
Breach Of the Sabbath and Hindrance
to the Spread Of the Gospel" One Of
his points was that Providence had
manifestly designed the beard as pro-
lection for the throat and chest" But
what about the woman's throat?
Nowhere was there more prejudice
centuries ago against boards than at
the inns Of court. The BLACK books"
of the inns tell us how offenders were
fined for wearing boards. and some
times were even compulsorily shaved
by order of court. And the prejudice
against the bearded barrister still
fingers. Vice Chancellor Bacon carried
his dislike to bearded or mustached
barristers so far that he always refus.
ed to bear them. Even now there are
very few leading counsel with boards.

MISS CORDELIA LEE.

Miss COrdelia Lee is the latest wOm-
American musical horizon. Not only
is this charming western girl a mu-
stefan, but she is exceptionally beauti
full and unaffected. Eight years away
from the prairies of Dakota and from
the city of Minneapolis have in no way
changed Miss Lee. She has acquired
no affectatiOns from Paris, Berlin or
st. Petersburg. but still clings to the
same natural. broad tone which one
expects to find in the folks of the mid
die west
Since going abroad Miss Lee has
learned to love the Russians. 1t mat
tiers not what may be said about the
people Of the car. Miss Lee evidently
found all that was good in the big en-
pire. In fact. she appeared in st. Pc
tersburg and Moscow four times in
one season and each time was ire
mendous success. So it is no wonder
she loves Russia and it's people.
When ASKED about Russian audiences
Miss Lee replied: 1.-The Russians are
the greatest music lovers in the world
Even the peasants know good music
and how to appreciate it. To hear
them applaud and see them wave theil
handkerchiefs and hats--well. l think
they often spoil young artists"
Miss Lee has studied with the great
est teachers in France and German,
and has played to audiences in all the
large cities Of the continent. One of
her favOrite cities In Europe Is Hell
singfOrs, Finland. That is a wonderful
musical center in the eyes Of this young
violinist. 1t is city Of only $4,000.
but it supports two magnificent orches-
tras. Everybody there goes to hear
good music. and it Is a not uncommon
sight. says Miss Lee. to see a dozen
fishermen and their wives standing in
line at the box Office. The members Of
the peasant class in Finland enjoy the
best musical scores just the same as
conservatory graduates.

Lady Scott Refuses Kings Offer.

Lady Scott. the widow of the ant
arctic explorer. was offered recently n
suit of rooms in the Hampton Court
palace by King George
These suits are given for life to the
widows Of eminent men who are un-
able to maintain their position with
their private means.
To the surprise of the king. Lady
Scott declined the offer on the ground
that she could not pursue her art as a
sculptress at Hampton court. Her re-
fusal is understood to be really a pro-
test against the scale on which the
fund raised in memory of her husband
and his fellow heroes has been distrib-
uted as between them and the perma-
nent memorial. She thinks the fund
should have been so divided as to place
her above the necessity of being an OBJ
ject Of royal benevoence.

Supple Shoulders Give a Youthful A

Supple Shoulders Give a Youthful Air.
III you want to look young do not
let your shoulders get stiff" says a
woman who likes to look youthful and
knows how to do it. "Flexibility of
expression and pose is the hallmark Of
youth.
MANY women in their desire for an
erect carriage think they have achiev-
ed 1t by hosting up their shoulders and
holding them hoisted with relentless
persistence Why have a stiff dignity

ITO keep your shoulders young try
to keep your mind young by not letting

fensely.
"The mind affects the shoulders, and
they affect the mind. If you cannot
stop thinking too seriously or worry
ing, move your shoulders and arms
about bit, let your shoulders fall into
place easily, and you will see that at
once your mind is rested.
Don't worry about your household
cares while you are attending to them,
AS most women do. accomplishing them
with knit brow and stiff shoulders.

Just do 1t with easy mind and easy

There Is dangerous tendency toward

Foot Massage.

Where the feet are in good condition
a massage lightly given about once a
week will prove quite beneficial. But
when feet are in a troublesome condi-
ton they must. to obtain relief, be
treated daily. One thing the feet need
very much, and Of which they get very
little. Is air. They should be freed
from shoes and stockings at least half
an hour every day. True. the feet are
bare at night time: but, as rule, they
are not uncovered. so they do not get
much air.
Daily bathing. weekly massage.
properly fitting shoes and stockings.
with daily change of the latter and
sufficient airing. would relieve and I'M
doubtedly cure mostly all foot troubles.
Still. there is another thing to be men.
toned regarding the care Of the feet.
and that Is the stockings Sometimes.
where apparently no trouble at all ex-
lists and the feet are given the best
possible attention. they begin to smart
and burn.
White or unbleached stockings are
usually the best for the feet. but some
women prefer colored. and for that
reason it is advisable to purchase those
with at least white sOles. This part of
the stocking is never seen. even with
low shoes. and the white sole will
prove a great benefit to the feet.

several town boys as members

team, which ended in the play
ing of strictly school nine

School lads, Tuckerman copied
the game by a score of II to z.
The affair lasted but five inn
ings, and for three innings was
fast and snappy with Tucker
man getting slightly the best Of
it, by reason of Nance's superb
work on the mound. The boy
from Cow Lake struck out 9 of
the visitors in 5 brief rounds,
and while they got to his curves
in the last inning for quite a
bunch of safe hits, his work left
little to do for either his outfeld
or infeld.
The Tuckerman boys began
using their clubs on Taylor's Of

at first bit unsuccessful in plac-
ing their bingles, they stung the
ball to every corner of the lot in
the last half of the fourth and
chased nine men around the
