20 HE is beautiful around the
edges" a woman recently
~ remarked, when q compli-
ment was afloat about a certain we'll.
known woman over Atty, who looked
less than thirty-fve. If you notice
1t, most women are not and show
their age more quickly around the
earl than any Of the other features.
A careful study Of ones profile.
as was found the secret of this
woman's method, will soon show how
unbecomingly the hair is arranged
about it. Even q beautiful ear
may be improved by softening the
lines with a fluff of hair brought
out behind it, or a suggestion Of a
curl to tho front of it. The charm
comes In knowing how little hair
to use in playing the trick, for too
much will make the whole head
look disheveled. The Illustration
shows how the q may count in
identifying the whole face by just
the correct dressing Of the hair.
There are other ear that would re-
quire tho hair to drop over the top
Of the ear, and In some cases almost
half cover it.. A careful study of
tho profile will show the best
method of dressing the hair.
Another important thing is to
keep the tissues built up around the
ears. Back of the a the muscles
are inclined to weaken before any OF
tho others, as they get less natural
exercise, consequently they age first.
Fine lines often come to the front
Of the ears, SO give all these mus
cles especial care in beauty culture.

THE Battle Hymn of the Republic
That. as everyone knows, had its
| genesis in John Browns Body" But
what was the genesis of John Browns
Body" is something that no one
knows. 1t was first sung, SO far as
| information runs, by the Twelfth Mas
SachuSetts regiment. And. it seems
those who sang it borrowed it from a
campmeetins melody. AS for the camp
| meeting melody. its origin is clothed
in mystery. Possibly it came as re-
suit OF one of the queer musical in
spirations characteristic of the old
| fashioned campmeeting singing of an
tebeilum days.
The popularity of the Battle
Hymn was immediate. Already the
army knew the tune-a tune singular
;y suitable for masculine voices-and
it took quickly to Mrs. Julia Ward
HoWe's stanzas. A few weeks later.
East and West, wherever the blue
coated soldiers of the North were in
the field the new song WAS sung with
an enthusiasm and fervor that were
Irresistible.

London, was the popular song of the

the sort of song that would attain
popularity In these ragtime days, but
it struck the fancy at any rate of orr

| northern side, for instance. the boys

Browns Body" or 1.-The Battle Hymn
| Of the Republic" but such songs as
when Johnny Comes Marching Home
Again" THE Battle Cry of Freedom
Tramp. Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are
Marching" Just Before the Battle,
Mother" Babylon Is Fallen" and
Marching Through Georgia"
Dixie" with Maryland, My Mary
land" was the favorite song of the
confederacy. OF the latter, nowadays,
we hear little, but Dixie" is played as
frequently as any other song of the
stormy days of the Civil war and no
less in the North than In the South.
Indeed. its vigorous impelling strains,
wherever played, North or South. are
invariably greeted with applause if.
not with cheers. No patriotic cclebra-
ton, regardless of the Mason and Dix
on line, is complete without it.
Southern troops were fond also, of
singing ''Lorena.' a song notable, as
was Just Before the Battle Mother"
especially for it's note of plaintiveness.
Certainly about neither is there any
suggestion of martial characteristics
Both were the favorite melodies of
soldier quartets and were distinctly
camp songs.

troops. That night. alone in his room,
he wrote the words. and they were
published a few days later in New

per copied the verses and q group of
Richmond young women reading them,
were impressed, and began to sing
them to the German tune Of "Tannen-

the COnfederacy borrows it's music
from foreign source.
