young English nObleman at that time.
When Lord Chesterfield wrote this de-

Of fascination that had made her famous
when as a young girl she was introduced
to English court society and promptly
made every one-men and wOmen-fall in

Pope, were her ardent admirers. and they
wrote many a line of beautiful poetry
IN her nOnOr. NOltalre, too, fell victim
and addressed the only English lines he
ever wrote to her beauty and charm.
Lady Heryey was born just 2li years
ago today. She was the daughter of an
English army officer. and through him
had the opportunity of being introduced
into court society in England. An intro
ductiOn was all she needed, for within
a very short time she was one Of the
most universally admired women in Eng

LET HER LEARN TO DRESS.
Your Daughter should Not BE Al
lowed to Grow Up CareIcssIy.

The future success in life of a girl
may and often does depend upon her
taste in dress. There isn't a bit of use
in Disgusting this fact from ourselves
for it is the simple truth, as any one
with an experience of the world can
testify. Have we not all seen the pretty
dowdy passed by for her plain but smart
rival?
A dulI-colored, unbecoming, badly made
gown can work tragedy in the career of
a girl. although she may have pretty
hair, good teeth and a nice complexion.
Whatever you teach a girl, teach her
the value of wearing clothes that suit
her.
Don't let her grow up with the idea
that one new gown is as good as an
other-and. of all things, don't let her
get the notion into her head that the
cost is the chief thing that counts in
clothing
l know a woman who never pays less
than $50 each for her hats-hideous hats
because they are quite evidently bought
es hats, expensive hats, and nothing else.
They have no connection of any kind
with her complexion or the color of her
hair and eyes.
She never seems TO have on a new hat
strange to say; they all bear the mark
Of the dowd upon them: though II you
picked them to pieces you would no
doubt find. like the butter in the March
Hare's watch, that they were made OF
the best materials.
Looking at this poor woman's efforts
in the purchase OF millinery, one could
almost find it in ones heart to agree
with the wicked French girl who de-
clared that 1t was better to be dead
than dowdy.
In the endeavor TO avoid dowdiness
however, don't let your girl drift into
take an outre appearance for smartness.' -
have seen this done with disastrous
results.
Smartness does not consist in a hat
perched at an outrageous angle upon an
impossible mop of hair. in heels inches
high, and a shrill colored gown made of
the smallest possible quantity of stun.
Smartness is not "loudness" in color
and bad taste in style. and if you can
teach girls this you will be doing them
a real service.
Smartness. be il ever so smart, will not
jar :ho vision, as the loud style and
co.. II.
Re! .Smartness brings a feeling OF
qualification to the eve that beholds it
it does not stimulate to wonder OF ridi-
Cule.
another valuable lesson for little girls
to learn is suitability in dress. Many
mothers fail to instiIl into their daugh-
ters' minds that dress for business hours
for morning hours. for working hours can
hardly be too plain and unobtrusive.
Dress unsuited to the occasion is, un-
less il be accidental, a pretty sure mark
Of want Of culture and good breeding.

A Home Recipe for
Removing Wrinkles

Who will blame the modern woman for
trying to look as young and attractive as
she reasonably can? Why should she be
placed at a disadvantage in numerous
ways by wearing wrinkles, il she can
avoid these hateful marks of advancing
age? Few women, however, know what
to do to effectually rid themselves Of
wrinkles or sagginess. Most of the .ad-
vertised preparations are unsatisfactory
and very expensive. But a very simple
and harmless home remedy, which any
woman can make, will work wonders
where all the patent preparations fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxoiite at
any drug store. Dissolve the whole ounce
in half a pint of witch hazel and use as a
wash lotion. The results are practically
instantaneous. Marked Improvement is
noticed Immediately after the very first
trial. Wrinkles and sagging are corrected
and the face feels 30 refreshed and Snug
like.-Adv.
