MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
As*~ American Came to Appreciate
Value Of Membership In the
Legion Of Honor.

Peary's decoration with the eros,
of the Legion of Honor provoked
remark that Frenchmcn find it much
more difficult to obtain this distinc-
ton than do foreigners. Four thou
sand aliens are said to possess it.
The American who once had to be
content with his college or fraternity
pin now wears, or at least knows
some one who wears, a ribbon OF
some sort emitting him to special
consideration in the old world.
The practical value of a decoration
is illustrated by the experience of q
westerner who desired to "do" the
electric lighthouse at La Heve, neal
Havre. The crusty guard declined
to honor his perrait, explaining that
since it had been issued, orders had
been given to admit no visitors after
sundown.
AS the American was turning
away, baflled, the guard suddenly
caught sight of red ribbon in his
buttonhole. His manner changed
instantly. "Ah, monsieur is cheva'
lier of the Legion of Honor. That
makes all the difference !"-New
York Evening Post.

SOME VERY CHIC FOOTWEAR.

Low-cut SHOES are the chic thing for
wear at all kinds of afternoon func-
tions, probably because one never is
sure that there will not be dancing
and therefore the feet must be fault
lessly garbed. II one is dressing
chiefly in black, smart type of low
shoe is that having a long and slender
vamp and high heel in red leather and
a top in white leather, or, an all-white
kid two-hole laced oxford with a
diamonds shaped piece in colored kid
inset between the toe and the instep.
This treatment lends foot a remark
ably slender appearance. Another type
of low-cut shoe is of white suede
opening at the side and fastened with
a narrow self-strap buttoning over
crystal balls. A big oblong buckle in
suede and crystal beads extending part
way over the instep makes the foot in
this shoe look shorter than ordinarily.
Many of the low-cut shoes in white
leather or kid are trimmed with black
velvet insets. buckles or tiny buttons,
There are many knowing-l looking

THE WAY TO MASSAGE.

In massaging the wrinkles about the
eyes, remember that these muscles are
very sensitive and the lines should be
ironed out as gently as though you were
pressing out a rose leaf. Hold the skin
at the corner of the eye taut between
the first and second fingers, massaging
gently with the second finger OF the other
hand the opposite way of the wrinkle,
and bringing the massage well back into
the temples, to carry the little laughing
lines clear away. Care should be taken
when massaging the face to not make
new wrinkles while you are taking away
the old ones. The lines about the mouth,
which run over the check from the nose
down to the chin. may be massaged deep
ly but always gently. carrying the fingers
in a rotary movement up beyond the ears,
almost into the hair. Then start at the
smallest end of the wrinkle and pinch
gently, bringing the movement forward
until you reach the mouth. You must be
very careful in this movement not to
bruise the skin by pinching too hard.
OF course. it is understood that the
face has been prepared for massage by
a thorough washing and a coat OF thick
massage cream applied in order to pre-
vent rubbing any dirt deeper into the
fish and to soften the skin. 1t is well
always to put a tight band of cloth
around the head at the hair line to keep
the cream from getting into the hair

BONNIE SCOTCH LACES.

Very familiar are the handsome Irish
crochet patterns, bleached snow white on
the green grass of Erin; and familiar also
are Italian and Spanish laces. made by
the peasant women OF these countries or
by nuns in the many converts. Not so IA
miliar however, are heather and thistle
patterned Scotch laces and two pretty
young Scotch women who have recently
come to America with a stock of hand
made Scotch lace are reaping a rich har-
vest. The Iaces are extraordinary cheap
far too cheap would protest the mer-
chant who has to deduct several expenses
between custom house and cOunter-but
the Scotch lasses seem well SATISFIED
with the prices they get.
Not having had time to master the
problem of American money. they have
hit upon the happy idea Of counting only
in quarters" The laCes are priced at
two Quarters the yard three quarterS
the yard" and so on; or one may have
a special bargain-a whole remnant or
five yards for ten quarters. Since 70
shilIings constitute the English pound.
and likewise 20 quarters go to the max
ing Of the American five dollars this
simple and ingenious way or handling
currency is to be commended.
The Scotch laces are not pure white
like the Irish specimens, but have deli
cate string color. The patterns resemble
CIuny patterns, except that the thistle
and the heather appear as the favorite
motifs. The Scotch lassies are most ir-
resistibIe with their soft, coaxing voices
and their rich Scotch burr. Now. look
at this bonnie bit o banding" says one.

BY MARY B. MULLETT.

II anybody had told Laurette Taylor,
five years ago. that by 1914 she would be
the most widely discussed actress in
Aperica-well, 1 only wish some one had
said it to her and that her answer had
been preserved.
1t would have been worth hearing. The
things she says generally are. From her
Irish father and mother she has the Gel
tic birthright of humor. And she has
imagination enough for a multitude.
She was born in the Bronx, as New
Workers call the section which at that,
time was a collection of ragged suburbs
of the big city. And she went to most
Of the public schools Of that locality.
The explanation of this is simple. When
Laurette was expelled. the family would
move to another school district. And as
she was expelled pretty promptly and
with unfailing regularity, the family's
surroundings never had a chance to pail.
Her parents and teachers cary decided
that she had an aggravated case of in
growing imagination. 1t had to grow in.
The Taylors were poor. Life was a duh
routine of dish-washing and school for
Laurette. Her fancy was the only thing
that frightened it. And as the efforts of
this fancy were not always well received.
she generally kept them 20 herself
Once, however, she let il loose in a
6GIOol GOIupOSlliOH- Inc NrhCNtE udu
dered that each pupil wrsse a description
OF her daily life. Imagihe that for poor
Laurette, with her disE-washing as the
high lights of the picture! 1t was i'm
possible.
So she launched boldly into romance.
She wrote a lurid- tale about her mother
having beeH7infatuated with a Spanish
count She declared herself to be the
child of this infatuation; that her mother
hated her real husband; that she and her
mother both spoke Spanish and played
mellifiuously upon the guitar Also, much
more of the same sort.
When she read the composition in school
she was so carried away by her concep-
tiOn of this tragic affair that she was
dissolved to tears. The scholars were
amazed but admiring. Her parents, when
they heard of il from the teacher. were
also amazed. But they were not admir-
ing. The family moved with even more
than the usual celebrity and to a remote
section of the city.
If one told all the early adventures of
this palpitating little creature it would
fill a book. She was good Roman Cath
olic. but she decided one day on her way
to mass that she would like to see another
kind of church. So she sampled a Bap-
tist one that day. The next Sunday she
took an Episcopalian. And so she went
on until discovered and rudely checked
by her parents.
Finally she succeeded in graduating

soon the hawk saw an antelope running
across the plain; he said to the eagle:
You go and kill that antelope, while
hunt in this other direction" So the
eagle swooped and killed the antelope,
while the hawk sailed away out OF sight
At night. the hawk came back to the
eagle and told a story about his adven-
lures, but he brought no meat to divide
He took half Of the antelope and carried
1t home.
When he got home with half an ante
lope, he said that he had killed the ante
lope and given half Of II to a poor hunter
he had met He invited all his friends in
TO feast. and told all of them uhe same
story.
When that meat was gone, the hawks
family told him to go hunting again. This
time, when he met the eagle he asked
the eagle 10 share what he killed. but
the eagle wouldn't agree. The eagle
had found out what a boaster the hawk
was. So the hawk had to hunt all alone.
All day long the poor hawk sailed about
hunting for something that he could kill.
and the only thing he found was a
mousei
Well. the hawk was too ashamed to go
home with only a mouse. and SO he cut
some of the meat OF his own legs to
carry home to his family.
OF course that meat didn't last long.
and soon the hawks family asked him to
go out and bring in more meat. Once
more the hawk failed to kill anything he
could carry home. and again he cut meat
on his own legs.
But after he had cut meat of his legs
three times, he could cut no more; and
then everybody found out that the hawk
was not hunter at all, but cnly a
boaster.
Ever since then. the hawks legs have
been very thin to remind him that II
takes more than boasting words from q
hunter to bring in meat.
