How 1OlIlAZE TfE llOST
 OF YOURSELF
'0 By ELYZAREzYH LEE

combs and fancy hairpins are always an Improvement to the coifEure of tho elderly woman, and may be used as good taste demands.
 Jet ornaments look well in both black and white hair, but not i'm brown. For such locks tortoiseshell should be chosen. Cut steel is very pretty for decorating gray or white hair.
 while the pearly gray pins and comes are equally good, they arc not, however, as effective as the cut steel. The latter for evening and the former for day wear are the rule. Jet !s good style at any time.
 The hair parted softly and the back hair braided and taken around the head in coronet fashion is becoming to the average slender woman, the braids lying flat or raised on edEe before the height and the type of face of the Wearer. When tt is seen that the hair rolled back is not quite bee coming, the result will often be sat- isfactory if the hair. after being part ed, is waved and then brought down the sides of the face.
 The grand dauae' style of woman will carry the rolled-baclz coiMuEe well, while the 1notherly face will probably be improved if 6ramed bT the pretty waved hair.
 The al1-around-the-head ponapadpHr that iss the pad over which the hair is brushed is a style becoming to Elid- dle-aged women, generally, if the pompadour is always a little smaller in the the back than in front When the lower part, Of the face is heavy the pompadour should be broad below the ears, never drawn back, because this will bring the lower part of the face into greater prominence. HiveFy woman should try the pompadouE iu the varied forms until she finds the right line: then the back afranse- ment is a very easy matter
 To frame the face becomingly is the difficulty. It can be done, howev- the effort. The pompadour once sat isfactory. all the hair should be taken to the crown of the head and ar ranged according to the style in fash ion. This may be a twisted coll braids wound reppd and ITO Fudr rFa group of puffs, or a broad, loose iInot. ! One cannot go very wrong especially if the facts given in previous articles have not been forgotten but the hand-glass should be used freely. The head should be viewed from all an gIes.
 Another thing to bear in mind ia that there must be no drawn look is completely dressed, with the help of the hand-glass, sthe hair should be patted here, pulled there, or huned a little, perhaps, until the effect ls entirely becoming. The locks must seemingly be a. loose mass from tue | lnape of the neck and from over the forehead to the top of the head. where time, needless to say, there should not be the slightest sign of untidines5. Such a fault is unforgivable in a ma 1 tron.

REAL ESTATE MEN
 TAKE CARE

Dear Miss Idbbey:
 T am a. widow of fifty. I was Left considerable property, small house which I rent out. I find it most difa- cult to get a real estate agent who will work for my benefit if a young and pretty girl or comedy, youthful widow moves in. Every agent I ever had so far wants me to do t1Fle world and aH-rnany unnecessary t1ings-1 flor the tenant, and won't push them flor the rent no matter how long 1t is overdue, and even lets them move out owing me for at least two or three months rent. What can do to get fair play? MRS F.
 The battle between middle-age and youth and beauty in distress is us- ualIy a one-sided one Still there are many real estate men loyal to their employers, and work vaIiantIy for their best interests. If in doubt in making a. new choice of an agent. try an aged, crusty fellow who has lately welded a young and beautiful wife; he will not be 1ured from duty by pair of bright eyes or a cajolins tongue, nor be moved to sympathy against his better Judgment The same may be said of the hustling young man who has a. young and pretty wife whom he admires and q family at home. The woman who is her own business manager solves the matter more satisfactorily

SHOW JUST GLUED 200
 WOMEN TO THEIR SEATS

Pottsvi1Ie. Pa, June 1.-Two hum dred women who attended the Hippo drome were glued to their seats.
 It was the first presentation this season of summer opera, but this had nothing to do with the fact.
 To tell the plain unvarnished truth the women became glued to their seats because the intense heat had melted the varnish on the chairs on which they sat.
 There were 1000 women in the au- dience, and when many seemed re- Iuctant to go, after the performance, others sat down, thinking they had made a mistake when they thought all was over. When the truth dawn ed upon them they left the Hippo drome and let 200 women remain to struggle as best they could.
 A few left pieces of their dresses in pulling away from the varnish. while a score of others are going to try to hold the varnish company responsible for the damages they suffered from stain.

THE FRIGHTENED
 GRASSHORPERS
(By Virginia Vale.

Opce upon a time there was a vacant field where there were no houses or trees or anything and the grasshop- pers thought they owned the whole of it. Nobody every bothered any of Che grasshopper families and they hopped about in the long grass all the bright sunny days with no worry about any thing. They built hundreds of nice little homes down in the grass roots and were very happy.
 One day, just as the sun was com ing up, they heard an awful roar and pretty soon with great clattering such as they had never heard before, a gigantic machine. with flashing bright things going round and round, came rushing down the field. Behind the machine was a giant man pushing it along right on top of their cozy homes.
 As the biz bright blades went round and round the grasshoppers~saw that the grass and flowers were all cut off close to the ground and that nothing was left but stubs of grass and short stems of the flowers.
 The grasshoppers were all in a

 Whatever may be the mode of dressing the hair, the ponpa.dour will never go out of style as long as there are elderly women to wear it. There coming to this type and, again, it is a style that allows of so many modi- hcations that a new form can always be found to suit every type almost without exception.
 When the forehead happens to be too high to make the brushed-up or the brush back pompadOur becon- ing, then the hair may be parted a little at one side and be dropped slightly over the forehead before talk the hair is thick and Iuxuriant so that no support is required to keep the pompadour in shape
 Any dropping, however, must al- ways be done with caution. To cer- tain features the lowering seems to pression of the face far from pleas ing, while another cast of features will be softened by slight fluffy dropping.
 It will be better to display too much forehead by raising the hair in an effort to conceal a portion of it. The hair dressed high suggests a dignity even though it may not a1- ways be as becoming as it might be.
 The woman possessing a round, fat face is apt to emphasize these lines by wearing a perfectly round ponp- adour that is the same height all around the face. This is a mistake. The face should and can be more be- comingly framed. She cam raise it higher over the forehead and pun it slightly at the sides of the face, or in the case of the forehead being too high to do this, the front hair can be divided into three; strands, taking the center one over a small hair pad first and pufdng well the strands at the sides of the face before pinning them down.
 This creates @, broken pompadour, which is apt to be much more becom- ing to the type in question than the straight, all around one. A very broad, fat face. or one with high cheek bones, will need a little more pufdng at the sides than what might be termed the normal fat round face. The hair should form a background d to the high cheek bones and then they will appear less prominent.
 An arrangement becoming to elder 1y women of the slender type whose faces are long and thin, is to part the in a puffy effect over the tips of the ears to the back, there forming a coil midway between the crown of the head and the nape of the neck and pinning 1t down with handsome pins.
 This is the type that can wear combs we'll So when these are in fashion they should be worn. By combs mean the high ornamental kinds The fiat ones are generally becoming In fact,

 By right don't mean merely clean, nails dled In the approved fashion and quick shines Wn the market from nothing box upward
 Every woman takes care of her fa- cial beauty, for that is her passport into the society she fancies. But fands-WeII, the woman with pretty hands, carefully kept, is just a little bit out of the crowd
 The common belief is that only ts.- pering fingers are pretty It is just as reasonable to say that only blonde hair is pretty. Hands that have tas- perzng fingers are beautiful-if they are kept weII-as taper1ng hands. But short, rounded fingers are just as pret- ty-
 If your fingers end in rounded tips, don't make the mistake of pincl1ing them and trying to taper them You may succeed. but they will then be out of proportion Keep the flesh of your hands soft, the knuclxles smooth. the nails nicely dled and polished, and If the skin be vv11ites the hands will look well just left nature shaped them.
 Give the skin of your hands the same treatment you expend on the skin of your face, and if they have a tendency to redden, use gIycer1ne and rosewater, equal parts, rubbing we'll into the hands at night and drawing on a pair of soft gloves. In the morning wash the hands In luke warm water with castle soap. Never, if you can avoid doing so, wash your hands in cold water.

There are those who affect a dis belief of sentiment who would ridi- cule the sweet warm emotions of the heart That womanlzind could live and be happy without love is denied by all the races that have come and gone There have been exceptional cases, where the, lamp of love has not been lighted in a womanis heart. Her life has been so full of other ptlr- poses duties divine and otherwise, that the calm current of her thoughts have not been disturbed by the sweet dreams of loving and being loved
 Sentiment in woman has been re- vered eiTrce the world began. It has been encouraged and nar-tured as a flower which must not be allowed to perish Philosophers and poets of all ages have paid glowing tribute to the tender passion which warns the heart, makes the drear world sunHhiny and life worth the living.
 Ben Jonson says: There is no life on earth but being in 1oveI There are no studies, no delights no busi- ness, no intercourse sor trade of sense or soul but that is bovel'' Lucy Lar com has added: "The gate of Heaven is love. There b none other.'' Sir Walter Scott tRreAs pays hds tribute to tht divine passion: Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, and men below and saints above, for love is heaven and heaven is love-
 Edgar Guest says simply but elo- quently:
 For love after all
 Is the purpose of life,
 The purpose Of struggle |s And turmoil and strife;
 If somebody loves you
 Why worry and sigh?
 For love we are living
 And love cannot die-'
 
 Lord Bryon waived all inperfection in favor of love when he wrote. q know not, care not, if quilts in thy ever thou art Burns tells us: s@Tha cares O. Love are sweeter far than any other pleasure; and if so dear it's sor- rows are, enjoyment, what a treas ure!'' And so on down the list of those who have paid the nobIest trib- ute to love- I would be suspicious of the value of the heart of man or wo- man who seofns at sentfment-Cod's s most sacred blessing to his children. Love may be warped and twisted out of it's semb1ance; but down deep at it's root it is wholesome, true and good it is installed by the Great Power into good hearts from their birth The babe loves it's mother and father. It turns to them for comfort and happiness quite as soon as it sees the. light of existence Other loves crowd about it, as it grows older love of family, then friends. At last comes greater and grander love than all others. Love's holy meaning is read in amother's eyes. After mar r1age comes the crowned blessing of the love Of children. Are not senti- Hent and love most important in wo- mans Ibfe? If not, what is?
