MoRE TALK ABoUT THE vEII

When the eyes are small veil with large dots will not be Becoming for Various reasons. The safest choice by way of a design is a fairly fine mesh with small dots less than an inch apart. It should be seen, however that these dots are in the form of diamonds. and not in straight rows.
 This makes all the difference in the world. The straight rows change to decided stripes when the veil is ad- 3usted and drawn back from the face making one look actually grotesque, so although seemingly trihing mat ter, tEie dot Arrangement is an im- portant one
 Indeed. attention to details pro- cIafms the well-dressed woman al- ways Although it has been clearly pointed ont what face coverings will be most becoming, still youthful fa- ces and figures may allow themselves certain liberties in veils without dire results. for youth is always charm ing. and flowing lines, odd-looking, even grotesque. designs call forth no more than passing glance, but when a woman reaches middle age she realizes Cor should) that the veil. quite as much as the rest of her tof- let. must be chosen with care
 Choice. for HfiddIe-Aeed Women.
 while there csn be no hard-andz :. fast rules Laid down in leegard to the choice of veil a. few general sug- gestions will probably be helpful TaS king those women who are just Ieav- ing youth behind, in the transition stage as 1t were. there is no mesh more charitable than the Russian net When the features are small the plain net will be the better choice. while large woman can carry al de- isign on the net background.
 Tn fact, women in middle life who possess small features should never: wear dots at all.

SORE EYES CAUSED
 BY FACE POWDER.

Face powder has its dangers the same as gunpowdsr. For several

 which the patients, invariably wo1l1-
 en, complain of vision being blurred,
 inability to use the eyes for any length Of time and severe itching Of the lids. The slightest rubbing of
 ness Of the eyes and only aggravates the itching. In severe eases the lids are frequently swollen from constant
 rubbing. There $ a sticky elastic
 secretion which, when being remov-
 ed pulls out in long strings Micro scopic examination of the secretion
 reveals masses Of what appear to be
 crystals. Until recently no eatisfac-
 tory expIanation' of the presence Of these crystals in the eye has been giy- en. Secretion taken from the eyes

 found that the crystals came from rice face powder Seven other pa-
 tients in which the same symptoms and nnicroscopic conditions were
 found all used the same make of face

 under the ey6Iids. The powder pro-
 duces the irritation. which Is az Eravated by rubbing. Those who
 use a chanois- skin in applying the powder are less liabaIe to cause the. fine dust to arise, which probably ac-s counts for the condition not being found in every woman using faces powder. The condition Is quickly re- s1ieved by flushing the eye with boTfc acid solution. The Irritation rapid <

SHOULD A WOMAN
 LET HIM KNOW
Where the apple reddens Never pry, Lest we lose our Edens Eve and I. ~

There comes a., time infsthes life Of every woman who confernpIates mar riage whether or nos she shall tell the object Of her affection some incident | in her life which has been kept care l fully guarded from the world Fair. sweet honorable girls have nothing to conceal concerning themselves. Thefe may be a blot on the family escutcheon afar back. The. question rises in the anxious mind of the girl should, she reveal this to the lover who has asked hand in marriage7 Or would 1t cast a shadow over his happiness
 This dlestion weighs far more heasv- fly with the girl whose feet have strayed from the straight and narrow way Shesnaay have been Fortunate enough to have few. if any to kno " Of it. Repentanoe may have come to her. seizing her as bra nd from the burning. Amid different surround fngs she began life anew. If q good and true man fell in love with her, offering her maria ge, such a. girl passes many an anxious hour over the query I Shall tell him all or for ever hold my peace. trusting to kind Providence to help me keep my se- cret, inviolate to the end of my days ?ss
 Then begins the warning in her heart. Would silence on her part be right or wrong She hesitafes pdti-
 
 the loss Of his. respect his love- It might end in his brea king off with her.. refusing to make her his wife. On the other hand. he might throw the mantle of charity over her ehort+ coming and renew his offer Of love and marriage which would protect her.
 4 Down in the secret depths Of his heart could he, would he, ever forget :? In moments of anger would he not taaInt her with it-thereby making her existence one long struggle with de spair?
 There are those who asy, hat a ma does not Know will not hurt him. but is it honorabIe to withheld from a man that which is of such vii tai importance to consi der well before marriage? If his love be strong enough he will condone the past; blot it out from his memory and hers as though 1t had never been He knows where faults might be eexpecfed in the children she might bear him. KnoWl- edge would fortify him to guard against them in. the sweet unsuIlied. life Of their daughter.
 Summing the matter lsp it may be said, sssA girl may perhaps be justified in keeping from her lover the folIiesl to herself, that is quite a different and more vital mater One should not enter married life wi1fuIy deceiying, by keeping that which should have been told. If the Knowledge es- tranges them, it is thousand times better that it should before than af- ter nlarriage
 Neither should hold vital secret from the other.

THE REsPoNsIBIIETIE
 OF NEWSPAPER WORK

Rev Dr. George Washington Glad- den of Columbus. O., addressing the national newspaper conference at Lawrence, Kansas referred to this pro- fession as a calling as sacred as the ministry He urged that the news papers should teach people to avoid exaggeration and violent speech, should resist the tendency to substi- tute mob spirit for dsliberation. should uphold character as against money and popularity, should turn attention away from the negative virtue of ex- posing evil, to the positive virtue of discerning and pralsing the good
 The editors may not have put these thoughts into words. The newspa- per man is apt to be careless about exterior appearances. When pub fishers of11ce is filtered with waste paper, and the windows lack washing, 1t iss hard for the pubIic to realize that the man who does the writing. at the cluttery desk is really exercis- ling the power and influence of the pulpit.
 The newspapers have almost fnvar- iably been loyal to the ideal of char acter as against money. Newspaper making is not usually a money mak- ing profession. The men who go in to it do so from natural aptitude for writing, OF from gifts of observation
 
 of human nature. They are of a philosophical habit of mind, finding their satfsfactions in the daily hunor of life, and in rewards other than money.
 The netropolitan public ins choosing its riewspapers, has short memories. If a lie is told today. by the time night comes the public has forgotten what paper told it. In less overgrown and more normal communities, a newspa- per that fails to tell the truth Is re- garded in just the. same light as al falsifying neighbor
 In emphasizing the Esvils of life, the reflect the everyday halo it's of the community. Scandalous gos- sip leaps from tongue to tongue in a day, news of the good deed moves slowly. if at all The newspaper should. print all 1t can about every movement tending to uplift the com-l nnunity Mostsof them q Q.

THE SWANS RAeE.
By Virginia Vale

Once upon a time there was pond that was the home of a great many swans. They were large beautiful creatures with long graceful necks ana them with cakes and told them how lovely they were. This made them livery proud and disagreeabIe and when a flock of ducks came they were am Egry and made 1t as unpleasant aA they could for the poor ducks. Among the ducks was a. pure white one. It was much prettier than the others. but had a more gentle na- ture than the others and tried very hard to make friends with the swans The swans would not be nice to him lat all and often pecked at its feet and tried to pull out its feathers. They made fun of it and laughed at his short neck and strange web feet.
 One day. the swans said they thought it was time they had a race to gee who was the best and smartest of them all. The prize was a golden ring, that was to be slipped over the head Of the swan that won where 1t could be plainly seen by the girls and boys that came to see and feed them
 It was a great honor to wear the next race and all the swans wanted to win It. E . Each morning the swans started out to practice for the race and each of them were sure they would be the winner. The ducks had asked if they could not join, but the swans laughed and said. .sYou. with your coIored feathers cannot join us in our pretty white ones 2, Of course not
 The white duck said: .sI don't see why I can't. My feathers are as white and winter. than some of those. that are going to the race.''
 The swans did not know what to say to- that. so they answered Well, T suppose you can try if you want, but Of course you know you haven't a chance to win.
 The duck said: '.I'H try and he smiled to himself for he knew that with his web feet he had more than a chance.
 sze The day of the race came bright and clear. They all started at the line Of lily pads and when the starter said ..Go'' off they went. the duck swimming along just as easily as could be and. before the swans knew it the duck was up at the endof the line and the judge was slipping over. the ducks head the coveted golden. ring.
 How angry they were, but when the duck said, ST don It want the ring, I am glad to give to any one of the swans. I only wanted to show you that d duck can swim They were ashamed and wanted him to keep it.
