lar season stocks showed good rally
ing power after the early setback. Sell
ing pressure was light. Probably the
chief influence was the announce
ment that President Wilson would
keep prior engagements for speech
one Of which is at Mobile. 1t had been
said that on account Of the serious
Mexican situation he might cancel
these appointments. The later ad'
vices were taken TO mean less tension
over Mexico. Should it prove true
that Great Britain intends to back

for the improved sentiment, in Wash

the late buying in stocks today.

BLONDES
(Copyright, 1913 by the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)


 Blondes may be divided into several classes, of which the genuine blonde is the easiest to dress successfully. She is known by her fair skin, faint pink tint upon the cheeks, ripe lips inclining to scarlet, and hair that may vary in shade from pale gold to golden brown. Her eyes may be blue, blue-gray, greenish-gray and sometimes violet. This type seldom possesses pure gray eyes. although brown eyes are by no means unusual.
 The colors that will suit genuine blonde are all shades of blue, includ- ing blue-gray, turquoise and peacock pearl gray, dove and warm gray5 (steeI is co1d), pale and dark greens, very pale pink, cherry color, crimson, mauve, wistaria, taupe, lemon, yellow, heliotrope, lavender, milky whites and very dark brown; also black and white.
 When there is slight tipge of green in the eyes true baby and sky blues should be. avoided, because they inn part a nondescript hue to the eyes which is neither blue nor green. The object is to intensity the color of the eyes, not, to destroy it. Turquoise will be becoming because there is a touch of green in it.
 The blonde of more vivid co1oring g must be careful in her choice of col ors; otherwise she is apt to appear overdressed or, perhaps, ordinary. looking and not infrequent1y loud, when by judicfous dressing she should be markedly attractive The hair will be aggressiveIy golden, the lips scarlet and the flush on the cheeks so bright as to suggest rouge.
 AS a rule, this type of woman is most attractive dressed wholly in black, but the material selected must be in a dull, soft jet black. Blue black will be harsh. White, too, will be very suitable, but if a color is ad- ded 1t should be in the softest shades only. Faded blues, greens and all pastel shades will be admirable. He liotropes and 1avenders can be worn ; also a pink so faint in tone as~to be almost white,. while a light shade of l buff will be a happier choice than pure yellow, especially, especially if the hair is inclined to be a bright shade of gold. Straw-coIor hair and sunny yellow make a charming com bination, but the colder tones of yell low form a better contrast when the hair is more deeply golden.
 1 Coming now to the red-haired j blonde, this type represents two class 1 es-the blue-eyed, pink-and-white type, and the blonde of the clear, col 1 orIess skin, not pale exactly, but of a healthy ivory tint, usually accom- paniey by dark eyes, scarlet lips and hair more auburn than red, although 1 often it will be as light as that of tn 6 1 blue-eyed blonde. It only seems to l be darker because the redness is not brought out by the contrast with the l blue. eyes. The red-haired blonde l makes a great mistake when she wears pale blue. She can only wear ] light blues successfully when they [ are of the cadet, Copenhagen and Alice tints. These shades have a good deal of gray in them, toning down the l blue.
 As green and the lavender shades 1 have a tendency to increase the pal. l Tor of the skin 1t is obvious that these

 The ground about a plant or shrub should be frozen to a depth of at least two inches before winter protec- tion is applied.
 Parsley plants, if moved to a pot or box now, will grow all winter. They should be placed in a sunny window in the kitchen.
 If convenient, the waffle batter may be made the evening before it is used. The waffles will be lighter and more easily digested

 Tan shoes will not stain if treated in the following way: Melt paraffin and coat the shoes all over. When the wax is dry, heat cloth and polish the shoes with it. This treatment will not darken the leather.

EXPECT HARD FIGHT ON NATIONS POLICY
 OF CONSERVATION

Washington, Nov. 1S-It was evil dent when the National Conservation Congress met today in it's fifth annual convention that a sharp fight was con- temp1ated on federal policies by these delegates who contend that the Wash ington government is usurping the rights of the states to regulate their own possessions. It was reported early that the committee appointed to con slider the water power problem had failed to agree and that the majority would recommend a revision of the governments conservation methods.
 That the states rights advocates will meet with strenuous opposition was made apparent in the speech of Charles Lathrop Pack, retiring presf- dent of the organization, who declared d that the enemies" sought to make it appear that the conservation meant reservation and the locking up of ma tura1 resources for future generations.
 Miss Mabel Boardman, active head of the American Red Cross had a plan for submission to the congress which contem plated the teaching by her or sanitation of first aid to the in jured' methods in the lumber camps of the country.

SOCIAL:

The program of songs which Mrs Ernestine Cobern Beyer will give on Thursday, Nov. 20th, at the Stratfeld, is an unusually fine one. All lovers of music will wish to hear this young woman, who posse sesses- such a wonder full voice, and truly charming man- ner Of using it. Her high notes are taken without the slightest effort, and the range of three octaves allows her a fine repertoire. Miss Mary Peck at the piano will be no less an artist, while those not musically inclined will enjoy hearing Rev. MT. Craft in dra- mattc selections, especially as he is soon to leave the city.
 Mary Silliman Chapter, D. A. R., and the Wonnen's Guild of Christ church, who have charge of tht concert-recital, are working for it's success, and urge the public to take advantage of this opportunity to hear Mrs. Beyer who comes only at the request of her uncle, MT. Craft.
 Tickets may be had at Steinert's and WisSner's music stores, also of Mrs. Frank Patterson and Mrs. Henry Veit, to whom returns should be made.
 Ushers for the evening are Mrs. Richard Staples, Misses Lillian Wheel CT, Airline Ayres, Nellie Stevens, Der tha walker.

In summer we have the hot, dust laden winds that blow into our eyes. We also have the sun. In winter, we have the cold, and the difficult glare of the sun upon the white snOw-
 Therefore, each season has it's dis advanta ges when it comes to ideal weather conditions for the eyes. Nat .urally. it is up to us to protect and beautify the eyes all we can regard less of the clements, and here are a few hints.
 I always have advised going bare headed for the sake of the hair, but I do not advise it when the sun is very hot. As far as the hair is con cerned, while sun baths now and then are good for it, and put infinite life and gleam in it, too much sun will bleach your locks and dry them too much. And the direct glare of the sun on the eyes is very bad indeed.
 Even more painful are the effects of the sun as reflected on said or water. In the first ulace, the natural impulse upon coming to a stretch of awter, etc. is to open the eyes wide, as though to see as much as possible. The result is usually a headache, blur ring of the vision and bloodshot eyes.
 To remedy a goodly portion of this strain, wear amber glasses, or, if these are not dark enough, regular smoked glasses. Do not let your vanity for the moment OverwhelIn your wisdom. Would you rather go without glasses during the sunny time of the day and exhibit bIoodshot, strained, twftching eyes in the evening, or would you rather wear the glasses and have bright, rested, happy eyes in the late afternoon and at the ball? It is up to you to choose.
 When your eyes are filled with dust, an eye cup should be used often. This dusty fall weather is bad, and every night the eye should be washed out with a solution of mild warm salt and water. Do not pin your faith in pat ent eye-washes or medicines. They are apt to be frauds, either being ut

How TOfIAKE Tm f1OST
 NQF YOURSELF

colors should be avoided by the pale, colorless, auburn-haired blonde. She will, however, be lovely fin pearl and dove grays, maize, sunset yellow and apricot color. Cream or ivory will be more becoming to her than pure white because warmer, and black having a shiny surface will be better than a dull, black material
 Browns should be chosen with dis. cretton! In my opinion, ye11owish browns are the worst possible choice. light golden brown will kill every trace, of reddish gold in the hair and absolutely tighten the eyebrows and. eye-lashes until they are straw col ored while if the eyes are blue fad ed, washed-out hue steals into them.
 Rich, deep, dark browns, as seen in sealskin and velvet, this woman can wear and look extremely we'll in them- By contrast, the golden tints in the hair will be brought out, the tint in the eyes will be intensified, while eyebrows and eyelashes will ac- tuaIIy seem to darken.
 Colors generally becoming to the bIue-eyed, red haired blonde are black, milk-white, gray, pale and dark green, navy blue, eacock blue. tones.
 The sa1Iow blonde is most unfor- tunately placed, for very few coIors- are becoming to her. Bright dark reds, as cardinal and wine, will have a tendency to whiten the skin. Warm grays, relieved with 8 little burnt orange and creamy or ecru lace will have the same effect. Yellow and pale orange are good evening colors relieved by creamy lace near the face. Rich hamtngo tones, too, will be be- coming to a salIow skin at night.
 The co1or1ess blonde and the ash blonde are often included in the same class. It is true the types re- semble each other, but it will be ob- served that while the complexion of the former is absolutely devoid of color, the ash blonde possesses just the faintest flush of pink in the cheeks and red lips usually. Her hair, too, is more ''drab" than blonde The ash blonde will look her best in pearly white soft black and dove grays. All strong colors must be avoided re1igiously. She can wear Parma mauve, blue-mauve, wistaria peach, blue in pale tones, pa1est shall pink, reseda, also deep brown, blue gray, rich, navy blue, purple, helio- trope and dark green.
 The coIorless blonde will find that gray will bring out any pink tints that may be lurking in cheeks and
 lips. Other becoming shades are peach, very pale pink, red, navy blue, lemon color, pinkish mauve, faded and Alice blues.
 Lastly, there is the sandy haired class to be considered. This woman will do well to conf1ne her choice to black and white if 1t is desired to bring out the best there is in hair and complexion. In certain coIors she will be a nonentity, in others common. Green will not be bad, and pansy colorings will often be very becoming. So will deep brown, rich purple and violet. Navy blue is generally good, but black and white should be the standby of this type
