outlook was taken yesterday by John
Mitchell, ex-president of the United
Mine Workers of America who is in
Philadelphia as guest of the officials

the mine workers, who are in daily
session here unnecessary. He took
a sunny view of the situation and
thought there was no cause for ap-
prehension. He said that the opera

YOUNG GIRLS THROWN
 ON THE WORLD

saTo hide true worth from public view
 Is burying diamonds in their mine
 All is not gold that shines, tis true; $ But all that is gold ought to shine
 Or course it is a burden to the cot1- pie poor in purse to support a large family of children at home If the oldest is a girl who has reached her fourteenth year, the parents are obliged to consider the necessity of sending her out into the world to earn her own living. She may be small of her age, her liking equally divided be- tween her school books and her dolls, with perchance, a leaning toward rib bon bows to tie up her braided hair. The parents look about and see other girls Of equally tender age in factory and shop. It is their enveloTess every Saturday night which keeps the wolf from the door of other homes close by. There are few little girls who look forward with great enthusiasm to en- tering the ranks of the breadWinners.
 Other young girls look toward the event Of leaving home to work with a heart full of dread Not that they are less ambitious. but they crave more schooling and the play hour with their mates when it is over. The worlds dark clouds have not as yet swept their hearts. Parents see an op enine for the daughter when some adjacent factory advertises for additional help. The hard working mother, with large brood to care for at home, Eare- 1y ever finds time to accompany her Daughter.

BEAUTY CHATS
WRINKLE TREATMENT.
Bv BIanche Bcacorl.

There is nothing like proper mas s&xe for wrinkles. For a simple massage the patient lies in a reclin- ing chair and the operator stands be- hind her. The first part of the treatment consists of applying to the face hot cloths wrung out of boiling water, the skiIlful fingers of the op- orator molding these, about the feat ures. softening the skin and opening all it's pores.
 The face is then thoroughly cleans ed by means of some reliable cold cream. After this has been done the entire face and neck are gently mas saged by the finger tips, which are dipped from time to time in the cold cream, the operator beginning by treating the forehead and flesh about the eyes in a gentle, rotary manner The lower part of the face where the skin is apt to sag is treated to a brisk upward movement, particular care being taken to rub against the little fine lines that are so apt to form about the mouth
 3 There is no secret about any part e.f this process. You need not go to beauty parIor for any part of it. With a little skill and experience, a woman can apply the treatment to her own face. She must always take care to hunt out the lines that are forming on the face and to rub gent 1y across them in an opposite direc- : ton. Every woman past her first youth. will feel better, and certainly look better. if she will massage fre- quent1y. for she will discover that 1t will rub as many kinks out of tired; nerves as wrinkles from worn skin.
 As wrinkles are apt to first form in the forehead, around the mouth and at the temples, many specialists use a thin quality of surgeons plaster after the massage, which is said to hasten the eradication of the tiny lines that are the forerunners of wrinkles Do not allow your v1Tin- kles to, steal in like the traditional thieves Of the night.

 All girls do not follow the same beaten track when thrown upon ths world: some gir1ish natures never lose the sweetness of early childhood. 9th CTS who rub elbows with stlle world and are buffeted round from one place Of employ yment to the other grow in ured to that hardship. Their tips soor. lose their wonted smile. It is the be- lief among the majority of girls who earn their own living that the only door by which they may hope to es- cape from it is marriage. This door is held open to them while their youth and beauty lasts After that they fancy 1t is rarely open to them.
 The majority of girls who go to work very young are pleased, nay happy, to hand over their pay enve1- opes unopened to their parents at the outset It does not take the average girl very long to learn from her com panions that this is sacrifice oftimes Quite a few girls are fond or dressing well. Other girls who iTn- itate their example find very little left for the home folks. The parents real ize when it is too late that it is an er- TOT of judgment in taking a girl out of school who is yet young in years to earn her daily bread. Even though a girls wages might be badly needed to fill out the family purse, sometimes it would be the wiser course to let them get little more schooling.

The soupbones that have been collected through the week can be boiling while you iron.
