one of their camps once to have my
fortune told, and a right handsome
young gypsy girl told me that I was
destined to be great man. II she
meant size she wasn't far off. but
that's the only kind of greatness that
ever came to me. She also told me
that when / grew up I was going to
be handsome, but that didn't strike
me so queer, as all the folks at home
said l was handsome boy and would
be a handsome man. Nothing she. told
me has come true. l didn't win great
ness. and one look at my map would
prove to anybody that she was a bum

llTHERE was q gypsy poet up to
our house last night, said
\ the Manicure Lady. Brother
Wilfred dug him UP at one of them
little camps the gypsies have. He
heard this young poet singing some
lines that he had wrote himself, and
when he asked the rest OF the gypsies
who wrote the lines, they told him
the kid wrote them himself. So Will
fred. who is the original fall guy,
brought him up to the house last
night and treated him as II he was
the prince of the world. The old
gent liked him about as much as he
likes soft stuff to drink, and told Ma
out In the kitchen that he was getting
too old to listen TO foreign poetry
wrote down some of the lines /
couldn't make no sense out of them,
but maybe you can. This is one of
the songs the boy says he wrotei

the Head Barber.
"No, he was just as nice and sober
as he could be-" said the Manicure
Lady THE only drinking that was
done was by the old gent, who Went

I have been nursing a woman for six

TWO PRINCIPLES

There are two great principles
at stake in the beauty search.
The first is, cure all the defects
you possibly can.
The second is, cover over in
some artistic way all the defects
you can not conceal.
For instance, if you can bleach
the skin of your throat white,
clear milk white, and it still in
sists on being bit TOO thin for
actual beauty, cultivate the habit
of arranging some soft folds Of
tulle at your throat.
The shadowing effect OF the
tulle will throw hollows and
bones into the background and
bring out your beauty of skin.
On the other hand, if your
skin is yellow and the flesh of
your throat is firm and plumply
outlined, bit of black velvet
will make you look compare
lively fair, while your beauty of
outline is unconcealed.
However, | think it very easy
matter to cure all defects-both
of color and line. | hope that
by the time you are through
reading you will agree with me.
WHAT TO USE
In the first place lay III sup
ply of good soap. complexion
brush, plenty OF soft cloths,
some cold cream, almond meal
and lotion of cucumbers, that
/ will tell you how to make.
Peel the cucumbers and re-
move the seeds.
Put the cucumbers and their
juice in a clean saucepan and let
this simmer for an hour.
Cool, strain through cloth,
add one tablespoonful of alcohol
and one of glycerinc for each
pint of juice.
Take one-fourth the total
amount of rose water and add it
to the mixture. This will keep
your skin free from roughness
all during the interweather. and
in summer it will prove foe to
sunburn.
Now wash your neck and
shoulders. OF course, you sayr

MEETINGS IN

Sunday Was a Day Long to
be
special to the EYENENG NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, Feb. 1S:-People
here are still talking about the ex-
cellent services held in this city Sun
day. AT the Baptist church the evan
gelistic entertainment of music and
song drew large congregations and
In the afternoon the Y. NJ. G. A.
meeting was the feature.
The Baptist church was we'll filed
IN the morning and In the evening
1t was necessary TO bring in chairs
to accommodate all who desired to
hear.
DR.. Adam Giebel, who was the
attraction, is a musical wonder as by
a misfortune he lost his evesight
when a babe. Yet he can dictate to
his secretary musical compositions
suitable to any hymn or song. His
dictation of new tunes and time to
several familiar hymns which were
handed to the organist end played
by her were most remarkable.
DR.. Giebel is possessed of a very
fine voice, which apparently inspired
in his hearers while listening to the
soul stirring strains a higher and
better realization of their duty to-
ward themcelves and their Creator.
No doubt this service of song as rem
dered by DR.. Giebel on Sunday will
be long remembered by many that
were present on the occasion.
At the Y. Nj. C. A.
Sunday afternoon at the Y. NJ. c.
A. rooms two addresses were given.
The first one was nv Mr.. Brooks,
