THE BEAUTIFUL women and the lux
ury-lovSrs of the, old days were
cleverer than we. Or, perhaps,
since they took life at rather less
of an express speed, they were
greater philosophers and better stu
dents Of the psychology of sur
roundings.
The beauties of bygone days
knew the power of perfumes. They
scented their bodies heavily with
sweet oils, and sprinkled their hair
with odorous waters. They burned
incense, as much to please their
companions as their gods. -.
Certain perfumes create certain
feelings, give rise to certain I'M
pressions. A delicate odor permeat-
Ing . room 10 more evasive, more
alluring, than q cloud Of it hover
ing about one person. An incense
burner is delightful way to per-
fume ones gowns. to give to ones
boudoir just the faint, elusive odor
that will delight your friends:
Charming incense burners como
from nifty cents up. Little green
clay Buddhas on stand are at the
lowest price; brass burners in Jap
anese designs range from seventy
five cents to IS and up. Art and
novelty shops carry fawns in deli
cate punches of reeds-syrinxes,
they call them-made so the smoke
of the incense pours daintily from
the fawn's mouth or the reeds.
Incense burners may be used for
sanitation. too, for powders come to
burn in them to disinfect room.
One may help cold in the head by
sleeping or staying in room with
certain powders burning-doctors
can tell which sort are best to use.
Sickrooms can be kept disinfected
by using the incense burner, too.
But their chief use and delight Is
for burning perfume-and every
woman would enjoy the possession
of even an inexpensive one.

Inc mother had been taken from the

Association. We have placed

nature. With the help of the
ladies and the active co-opera-
ton of the city authorities the

created a growing tendency to
utalize the advantages the Lii
brary offers. The annual men,

necessary for one member of
the family to join. The dues
are one dollar a year, and this
fund goes to pay small current
and for the purchase of
new books. Dues are payable
quarterly.
We ask that the members will
come to this meeting and new

Yankees Take First Battle,
While Cleveland Wins
Second One.

New York, July ll.--New York
and Cleveland broke even on a dou.
bic header here today, the home team
winning the first game, 8 to 2, while
Cleveland won the second game, 4
to-.
Pitcher Cullop, who started the
first contest, won his ninth straight
game of the season. He was ahead
when taken out in the fourth inning
for pinch hitter. Fred Beebe, the
veteran Cleveland pitcher, was hit
hard, Baker making home run with
two on bases in the first inning, and
he was knocked out Of the box in the
fourth inning when New York scored
five runs.
The pitching Of two minor league
recruits, who finished, featured. Rus
sell, who relieved Cullop did not per-
nit a hit in five innings, while Gould,
a youngster just obtained by Cleve-
land from Davenport, allowed only
one Yankee hit in four innings, and
struck out six men.
In the second game Cleveland
knocked Heating out of the box in
the third inning, and Russell, who
relieved him, again pitched shutout
ball, permitting only three hits in
five and one-third innings. Lowder-
milk was very wild, but the Yankees
could not hit him in the pinches.
Score, first game:
