What an awful indictment
this phrase is when uttered
=, by some women! 1t sug-
gests al slorts of horrors and compli-
cations. yet at the same time If one
but dared to grasp these very women
firmly and apply wet cloth to their
, cheeks, a layer OF coloring of some
sort would in nine times out of ten
rub off.
For American women paint, and IL
one can but take the word of no
. ted beauty specialist who is now in
= America, Nine. Helena Rubenstein,
they paint very badly.
Perhaps it Is because they are
hypocritical that they paint so
~ badly, for being so they do not have
the advantage of the experiences of
one another, each one denying stout
ly the use of the Coloring matter
instead of exchanging knowledge
upon its use.
Nine. Rubenstein says OF American
women and their manner of painting:
Painting is not wrong. 1t Is only
when 1t is done badly that 1t is vul-
gar and foolish. II woman is natur-
makes her beautiful, surely there is
nothing wrong In her applying the
little touch OF color.
"You American women use far
more rouge than do the French. At
least 1t seems that way to me. from
observation. And you do 1t so badly.
Your women look Ike caricatures,
many of them, with coloring put on
thickly so that the ugly marks OF
neglect and i'll use on their skins may
not show"
Along with many other things. it
fAaf
must learn how to paint. And the
very first step will be the absolute
dismissal of the hypocrisy from the
remark
"She paints" by merely taking
away the exlamation point at the
end of the remark and making II a
mere statement.

HOW TO TURN A HAT INTO
A WoRkBASkET.

Nearly everything in the world
can be made to serve double
purpose If one only has n little
ingenuity. Take, for instance.
the summer hat, the soft. foppy
straw hat in vogue some years.
This hut can De made into
workbasket.
First rip off all the trimmings:
then turn the hat upside down.
Take some silk or cretonne to
harmonize with the straw and
line the inside Of the crown,
making tiny frill all around the
edge. Put bias pieces Of the ma
terial here and there along the
sides Of the basket in which to
insert papers of needles and
spoOls Of thread. Make also a
thimble case. which you sew Sc
curely to the frilled edge.
Rip off section of straw from
the brim of the hat and with this
make handle. or IL the brim is
not wide enough use ribbon,
with u bow mt the top. The old
hat has now become a useful ar

trial of strength, and when it is oven
her system has received shock from
which 1t is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health OF

that, with all the evidence Of shattered

LOCKED IN DEATH
FIGHT IN ALLIED
GREAT OFFENSIVE
Sharp, Sudden Strokes Replacing Bat
tering Ram Activities in Artob
and Champagne Districts.
FIRST WEEK OF BIG DRIVE
COMPLETED-FRENCH GAIN
French Loss of Men is Surprisingly
Small; Expected to Lose One
Third of Men,

London, Oct. 2.-The Allies great
offensive completed it's first week to-
day with million men locked in q
death struggle in the Artois and
Champagne districts. The fury of
the battle has not diminished.
IL Allies Win Points.
. Sharp sudden strokes have replaced
the -battering ram tactics that were
used the first two days marking the
beginning of the great offensive and
the Allies are constantly improving
their positions. It is believed by
critics that the Allies will make an
other heavy smash in few days.
" Artillery Active. .,
All along the battle front the al
lied artillery has become increasingly
active. ..~
The French losses, says the war de-
partment at Paris this afternoon, are
surprisingly small. The French
commanders expected to lose third I
of their men and instead only lost
eleven per cent of their men. This
is due to magnificent artillery pre-
paratiOns. and head helmets.
The German trenches have often
caved in with the men in them buried
alive, says the war Office.
