WEDDING COST
HIGHER TODAY
REVENUE STAMP NECESSARY
ON ALL LICENSES--DEEDS
ALSO NEEDS STAMPS,

Marriage licenses have gone up!
Commencing today, no nuptial
knots can be tied on licenses issued
by the clerk of courts for the tradi-
tlonal fee of n dollar unless the
governments war tax sticker is
affixed thereon.
Uncle Sam has struck a blow at
the foundation of the home in his
efforts to raise revenue receipts that
were lowered, by the European war.
1t is illegal, beginning today to pres
emit a marriage certificate to have
the life bonds tied without first af-
fixing a revenue stamp to the license.
The marriage permits must bear
a lO-cent stamp. In cases where mar
riages are performed and no stamp
was attached to the license, the gov
eminent has decreed a heavy fine or
Imprisonment. The warning IS suffi-
icient to keep all prospective brides
or bridegrooms out of Jail, and all
ministers in their pulpits.
Although the new law DEGREES
that all deeds shall bear a rev.
enue stamp worth $1.G0 for

in the property changing hands. this

Christmas Day in Germany.

Christmas, always so beautifully OBJ
served by the German nation, can come
this year with few joys to the royal
grandchildren of Kaiser William Of the
German empire and Prussia.
The bullets of the Servian student
Gzrsio Princip that orphaned the chill
dren of Archduke Franz Ferdinand let
loose the dogs OF war guarding the
Kaiser's throne and orphaned children
throughout Germany weep for fathers
slain.
In the royal house of the Hohenzol-
lerns the Crown Prince Frederick Will
helm married June 6. 1905, Princess
CeciIie, daughter of the late Frederick
Franz III of Mechlenburg-Schwe
Their children are: Prince William
Frederick, born July 4, 1906; Prince
Ludwig Ferdinand. born November 8,
1907; Prince Hubertus, born September
80, 1909, and Prince George. born De-
cembsr 10, 1911.
Four sturdy little boys to carry on
a royal family line and since II is re-
quired of the Hohenzollern house that
each prince shall become skilled in
some trade one wonders what crafts
mems tools Santa Claus may bring to
them this Yuletide. The crown prince is
an adept in wood turning. The Kaiser
is a cabinet maker. His father the En-
peror Frederick, was a bookbinder, and
his father before him a turner. By
such peaceful arts has Germany
achieved greatness. May the little royal
children who await with innocent
hearts the Christmastide of peace be
those destined in the coming years to
decree that war shall cease forever.

Il confess that in all the years / have
lived in France" said an American girl
who has but recently returned to Wash
ington from Paris, the exquisite, though
in some cases artificial look OF the
French woman's skin has always at
tracted me. The ivOrylike smoothness
and utter absence of wrinkles on the
face Of a woman who sat opposite me
In an omnibus a few weeks ago inspired
in me a desire to go to the root OF the
matter and discover their method.
This woman was probably thirty-five
years old and yet her skin was like
that Of a girl OF eighteen, and in my
experience this woman's complexion Is
the rule and not the exception.
There have been reams written of
so-calIed beauty specialists, good ones
and poor; magic creams, liquid powders,
etc, and / myself had been to the IA
nous 'maison de beaute' on the Place
Vendome, and had watched, fascinated,
in the mirror before me the gradual
transformation Of a quite ordinary girl
to a creature of radiant complexion, on
whose cheeks the faintest rose leaf glow
OF health bloomed under the violet
shadowed eyes. l had also been trapped
into spending two golden louis on some
small exquisitely put up bottles and
boxes Of the aforesaid aids to beauty.
This was not the way to find what
I wanted, so l asked the name of one
Of the most famous specialists in Paris,
and screwing up my courage was usher
ed into his waiting room few days
later. During the three-quarters of an
hour that 1 waited 1 was more than
once tempted to fee, but when at last
was admitted into his consulting room
and was greeted by his cheerful smile
1 was glad that had waited.
He was a big blond, quite unlike
ones idea Of a Frenchman, but rather
like a Swede who looked as though he
had Just emerged from a tub, radiant
with health.
What can do for you. madame
ha asked: you are surely not ill?'"
No, monsieur / stammered, but
want to know what II is that gives
your felIow-countrywome their beau
tifuI complexions.'
'.He smiled. .Ah, madame, that is
outside my province. However. since
YOU ask. / win tell you little secret.
The first prescription is cleanliness and
the second is cleanliness and the third
is yet again cleanliness.

pointed tone; we do that, but not with
such results.

Your Xn., Shoppiaa Eaaed.

Wen the Christmas rush u over. Our
shopping IL done for this year. and now
an we have to do Is to sit down quietly
and unite the bows and cut the strings
that have been 30 patiently and laborious-
Nv tied around the gifts that have been
sent 10 us. But we really deserve the rest
aftsr SO much confusion and 30 much
strain and SO much hurry at the end.
Move admit tive didn't do our shop
ming quite as early this year as We in
tended to, and the last few days before
Christmas did see US adding just one more
number to the already overpowering
crowd Of Christmas shoppers. But it is
an over now, and. as a matter Of fact,
the EituatIon here in washington wasn't
at all bad this year.
In another city not very far away from
hare, where the authorities still permit
the stores to remain open at night for
several days before Christmas, one poor
shop girl fell exhausted at her counter.
neyer to rise again, from the effects OF
oyerwork and overstrain. But, fortunate
lv. that sort Of thing Is no longer pos
sTble here, and we should all be deyoutly
thankful for It.
In the meantime, every one is taking
about the courtesy and Politeness Of the
saIes-people- this year. It Is due. OF
course. in part to the fact that they
haven't been weI-nigh killed with work
And It is also due to the fact that the
men and women who run the big stores
have been carrying on q campaign this
year for greater politeness. There are
actually classes on sslesmanship IN sew
eral of the stores here the principle OF
cooperation is preached. The statesmen
and women are made to see that buying
is a two-stded operation, and that IN or
der to make it run smoothly the sales
man and saIeswoman must cooperate
with the buyer to work for the buyers
benefit. The store managers have been
pounding at this principle, and it has &C
tuaIly borne good results.
So here's wishing . merry Christmas
to all the men and women in the stores
who have helped to make our Christmas
shopping easier this year than ever be-
fore. And let's hope that their hard
days work for the past few weeks won't
leave them too tired to enjoy their Christ
mas pudding.

Emperor's Daughter Is Ex-

cording to information that has reach

quaInted with court life In Berlin.
Even the Empress is debarred from
offering advice or suggestions regard

Of the Kaiser. who is opposed to ad-
vanced feminism. that the Hohenzoll-
ern women should set q good example

princesses with close relatives In the

The Kaiser has consented. however,
to one exception being made to this
iron rule. His only daughter. Princess
Victoria Louise, wife Of the Duke of

The banning OF the Kaiserin from the
councils OF the war lords, 1t 10 asserted,
has caused much surprise among Ger
man women. who know that military
problems interest her intensely. The
Empress is colonel Of the Eighty-sixth
Fusilier Regiment and also OF the Rus
sian Grodno Hussars.
While the Kaiser has also made 1t
known that he does not want to dis
cuss the tragedy of Belgium with the
princesses, he encourages them in what
he regards as the only legitimate field
for women in war time-Red Cross
work and relief of suffering generally.
1t IS at the Kaiser's express wish that
court women automobile around the
Berlin hospitals daily to console and
encourage the wounded.
The Kaiser has forbidden his gem
erals to take their womenfolk into
their confidence regarding military
operations.
