THE ECONOMY OF RULES.

1t is economical to have rules, and it Il
economy to obey them.
A tremendous number of accidents re-
suit from the breaking of rules. Some.
times the rules are not laws. laid dowr
In black and white and enforced by law
but they are rules, just the same. Many
motor accidents come because Of speed
ing. driving on the wrong side Of the
road, disobeying traffic regulations in the
city streets. Many accidents to pedes-
trians occur because they don't stay or
the sidewalks. and when they must cross
the streets they don't do so at the cross
ings. Many fires start because inf1am-
mables are kept in dangerous places
gasoline is stored in the linen closet
when we know II should not, according
to the terms of our lease, be bought in
large quantities. or kerosene is used
carelessly about a fire. in spite of eau
tions from the fire department.
So it goes. Many of the ills of man.
kind result from a disobeying of rules.
This attitude in adults is much like
disobedience in children-and the results
are much the same. for punishment in
some form is very likely to come.
Now In every household there are GER
tain rules. more or less well formulated.
And they should be a help to contend
family life. Unfortunately, for the house
keeper. punishment for the breaking of
these rules does not always fall on those
who break them. Too often 1t Is the
housekeeper or the servants who get the
punishment
Nevertheless it is possible to formulate
set of household rules, and to drill
ones family to obey them. Perhaps with
out actual punishment they can be made
to believe that the most comfortable way
of living is to observe the rules set down
by the housekeeper. And to the house
keeper these rules can be made means
of saving time and energy and nerve
force.
Think over every rule you announce
before you speak OF 1t. For a foolish
rule, like a foolish law, breeds disre-
spect on the part of those who are asked
to observe it.
There can be just rules about prompt
ness at meals, about Individual duties for
each member of the household, about
opening windows. about closing screen
doors, about caring for the clothes and
many other things. And each of these
rules can be so worded that it will seem
reasonable. and at the same time so
thought out that it will bring relief to
the one on whom the burden of house,
keeping falls.

ToDAY's BEAUTY nINIs

To whiten and beautify the COM
plexion permanently We have found
no better preparation than a lotion
made by dissolving four ounces of
spurmax in half pint of hot water,
then adding two teaspoonfuls of
glycerin. This removes any pimples,
shiny, muddy or salIow appearance,
and will make any ones skin clear,
smooth and velvety. 1t does not
show or rub off like powder; in fact,
it seems a part of the skin; and for
removing tan and freckles is un-
cqualed.
1t is necessary to shampoo more
frequently in the warmer weather be-
cause of excessive dust and the fact
that the head perspires more and IS
usually more exposed to the weather.
The easiest to use and quickest dry
ing shampoo that we can recommend
to our readers can be prepared very
cheaply by dissolving a teaspoonfuf
of canthrox, obtained from your
druggist, in cup of hot water. This
rubbed into the scalp creates thick
lather, soothing and cooling in its
action, as well as very beneficial to
scalp and hair. After rinsing, the
scalp is fresh and clean, while the
hair dries quickly and evenly, de-.
veloping q bright luster and soft
fuffiness that makes it seem vefy

of avoiding perfume. While W
breath we have to use our smelling
faculties.
Can't you recall how often your
pleasure at the theater and your po
ers OF concentration at church or the
lecture have been we'll nigh destroy
ed simply because of nearby per-
fume? No matter how artistic" the
perfume may be, if it is kept in close
audience or near to you for long at
a time it is sure to become annoying,
not to say really sickening.
AS matter OF fact one reason why
we Americans go in so little for per-
fumes is because We arc of all nations
the most free from unpleasant oders.
Our cities, our houses, our theaters
are sweet to the nostrils compared to
the cities and public places of Europe.
In Italy, where no one can visit Ven
ice or Florence without being shock
ed by the smells of the city, one finds
a high appreciation of perfumes.
In the Orient, where the faculty OF
smelling is developed to fine art, the
impression of the city odors is some
thing that the Occidental traveller
never forgets. The characteristic
odors of Bombay, of Calcutta, of
Constantinople and Hong Kong,
made up of marvellous COM
plex of mistakes of sanitation, is
something that the traveller cannot
describe, but the recollection of it is
vivid all his life.
For our own part we like the
American way best. The most desir-
able fragrance that We can find in
our cities, in our drawing-rooms or
theatcrs, is the fragance of fresh air,
air so fresh that it is sweet to the
nostrils
And what can compare with the
smells of the country? The pine tree.
the fresh-mown hay, the hillside after
a storm, the breezes that blow over
three thousand miles OF ocean, the
apple orchard and the grape arbor.
These arc the smells that the Amer
leans appreciate and love. And it is
our humble opinion that so long as
we love the outdoor life, so long as
we enjoy filling our lungs with the
wonderful multiple scents of nature,
we Americans will have sense of
smell quite as cultivated and quite as
we'll worth while as the most exact
ing perfume expert of the Orient.

she married for a second time Edward
Augustus. Duke of Kent the fourth son
OF George III. the aged King Of England.
As matter of fact, this was far from a
love match. and the only reason that the
old bachelor. Edward. thought of marry
ing at all was because none Of George
HIS fifteen children had any legitimate
offspring to present as the possible sue
cessor to the throne. Edward was one
of the Kings three sons who was prac-
tically comma nded to marry. and II was
a matter OF policy-that he choose as his
wife the young German widow.
The marriage proved felicitous. and
when Edward died. a few years later. he
was proud to have an infant daughter.

had to vote her an annuity or six thou

that she could undertake the proper edu-

day to become Queen.
The Duchess Of Kent was devoted to
her daughter and spent her entire time in
experimenting her education. She gath

Gayety

The Gayety opened its new season
amid splendid brilliancy yesterday at a
largely attended matinee and capacity
house at night. All the old patrons were
on hand and a lot of new faces crowded
into the aisles to wish the new, young,
genial manager, Harry Jarboe, a success
full year. 1t was a propitious Inaugural
ton of the burlesque season. Manager
Jarboe was compelled to go upon the
stage and thank his many friends for
the handsome floral tribute which they
gave him.
The house has been redecorated from
pit to dome in artistic manner and ev-
cry detail of care has been added to
furnish comfort to the patrons.
The opener Is a gem, for Frank Finney
is the happy selection for the first pres
entation of the season. His Boston
ians' is display of pretty women and
an Oriental atmosphere in a mirthful
and musical show. which furnishes an
entertainment that contains all the ele
ments that are necessary in an up-to-
the-minute burlesque production replete
with riotous beauty. fun and music.
Finney and family is one of the most
popular entertainments on the burlesque
circuit. always sure to please. Finney
himself is a clever entertainer. but he
does not assume the entire burden, for
he is ably assisted by Charles Jasen and
a number of lesser comedians.
Important In interest is the beauty de-
partment twenty or more pretty girls
who work with an apparent atmosphere
of enjoyment in their efforts. The chorus
is handsomely costumed. and provided
with a number of clever songs which are
well sung and which are given to the ac-
compartment of many effective ensemble
dance steps.
'Bostonians" Is a real beauty show sup
plemented with a large element Of good
comedy. The fun begins with Jingle
Jangle," a ludicrous conglomeration of
mishaps at a regular Union station.
