their names were handed about by
the scoundrel who boasts of making

Such men are dangerous in any COM

than their bite. but still they can
wink a good woman's reputation down
in less time than it takes TO tell it
and do her a world of harm in awak-

take the matter into their own hands.
Instead of applauding the boaster, or

Those who listen-who have sisters

not select their women folk to mix up
in his cleyerly woven falsehoods. Men
who boast of their wealth are bad
enough. but the men who boast of
the women they jolly are many pegs

are not really so bad as they would

They invent tales out of whole cloth

have given themselves a bad name

Beetles and Their Habits.

One of the most amazing things in
natural history is the way in which
beetles have triumphed in the struggle
for existence, says Popular Science
Monthly. OF creatures they are by far
the most numerous. no fewer than
10000 distinct species having been
identified-three times the number of
bac41boned animals.
Beetles are wonderfully adaptable.
They are found practically everywhere
in the frost-bound tracts of Iceland
and in the hot desert sands of Africa ;
on the highest mountains, under the
ground, and as fossil, in the deepest
strata; on land and in water; on
plants, among stones, and in wood
and earth; and even in the very crs
tiers of volcanoes.
But there is one place where no
beetle has yet been found-it is the in
hospitable land of Spitzbergen. to the
north of Russia. Here are mammals,
birds. fish, mollusks, crustaceans. a
few insects of varied species, and many
spiders, but not single beetle. While
other insects have succeeded in some
way in migrating from the mainland,
the beetles have apparently been I'M
able to cross the wide, icy waters.

YELLOW Tone HERE
TENDENCY TOWARD THAT COLOR
is MARKED.
Suggestion Comes From France and
Seemingly Is to Be Taken Up on
This Side of the Water-Af-
ternoon Frocks.

The tendency toward ocher and
champagne col0rings is strengthened,
rather than weakened, by the advance
of midsummer. France suggests Au-
gust gowns in these tones in char
meuse, chiffon and embroidered net for
all hours, from MONDAY to midnight
One of the attractive gowns designed
for Newport, is of Ocher-colored chill
fon cloth and taffeta, to be worn in the
afternoon with an immense sailor hat
of ocher-colored straw.
In this frock, the full skirt is laid
into the waistline in plaits that are so
limp that they would entirely reveal
the outline of the figure, if it were not
for the long, sleeveless redingote worn
over the frock. The bodice is half low
in front and has full elbow sleeves that
come out from the long arrnholes of
the redingote which are outlined with
brown fur and deep cream, guipure
lace.
Every prophecy points to the fact
that France wants to revive the plum
color worn by men in the early part of
the nineteenth century, and it is said
that our best tailored suits will be

How to Wash Your Face.

One of the methods of acquiring a
clear, white complexion is so simple
that it is almost amusing. 1t is mere
ly to wash the face properly. This
should be as regularly part of the
toilet at night as brushing the teeth.
The procedure is in this wise: With
hot water and pure white soap thor
oughIy cover the face with lather, us
ing a good complexion brush. The
latter is better than a washcloth be-
cause it scrubs" better and acts as
a good stimulant to the blood vessels
of the face. One need not be afraid
of this thorough scrubbing, for long
hours of rest in bed prevent any harm
coming to the tender skin afterward.
When the face is rinsed well with
tepid water and gently and thorough
ly dried with soft towel rub good
cold cream into the open pores. When
this has been thoroughly spread over
the face and has remained there five
or ten minutes, gently wipe it off with
a soft cloth, preferably silk. Do not
rub the face too dry, for some of the
cream should be left in the outer It's
sues of the skin. This severe scrub
bling thoroughly softens and cleanses
the skin of all dirt and stain, while
the cream nourishes and whitens it.

made in this tone in broadcloth next
winter, with the deep lapels of the coat
ending in three silver buttons at the
waistline.
AS straw sent out to show in which
direction to look for the wind of fash
ion, there is new afternoon frock
made of plum-colored chiffon and satin.
The skirt has an apron front outlined
by ribbon; the slim, tight bodice has
long, wrinkled sleeves of the chiffon
which cling to the arm from shoulder
to wrist. The deeolletage is slightly
low and quite round. 1t makes one
think that the runor may be true of
the elimination of collars on bodices
and blouses in the new gowns offered
in August, and even with separate
blouses.
The French designers are INDUCING
in round or Renaissance necklines,
minus the high, rolling collar which has
prevailed in America for over a year.
One design shows a white chiffon
blouse with it's front and back yelled
in apple-green chiffon, the fifteenth
century neck outlined with a narrow,
upright band of green chiffon. The
sleeves are slightly full and so long
that they are tied in at the wrist with
narrow bracelets of green velvet rib
bon.
With this blouse goes large, second
empire hat in green straw and chiffon,
with band of daisies on the brim
placed such way that they seem to
give it the necessary tilt in the middle
of the back and front.

MALE FLlRT OF LAST YEAR.

Time is grief that wastes the heart
Like mildew on a tulips eyes,
When hope deferred but to depart,
Loses its smiles but keeps its signs
What has become of the male f1irt
of yesteryear. the affable young man
who captured the hearts of all the
manageable young women at the sea-
side or mountain resorts, the hand
some youth who kept all the feminine
hearts guessing as TO which one of
them was to be his choice at the end
of the season? He was wont to ac-
company one girl for an early stroll
before breakfast, sit with another on
the sands at noon, read poetry to
prettier maid in sheltered nook of
the veranda all the cool afternoon,
stroll on the sands in the cleaning
with yet another, take some other girl
for row on the water in the glorious
moonlight, and dance and firt with
every other attractive girl in the ball.
room-the first one on the floor and
the last to leave it-far into the wee
sma' hours.
He had a way of making each girl
believe that he was in love with her
and her only. But the last week of
the season he had suddenly decamped
leaving a long trail of signing women
behind him. In each instance. he had
begged for the privilege of correspond
ing, and every girl watched long and
eagerly upon her return home. for the
letter that never came.
Quite three-fOurthS of the disap-
pointed maids and spinsters resolved
on another season at the same place,
hoping for last years beau to return
These are the women who can never
be made to understand the tactics Of
the experienced male flirt. If one
Drawer than the rest makes bold to
make inquiry as to why he left so sud-
denly last year and if he is to be with
them during the present season, they
usually learn things about him which
crush their fond hopes at one fell

ooh yes, Mr.. SO and SO was called
away suddenly by the illness of one of
his children" answers the hotel pro-
prietor, affecting not to notice the ex-
| preston on his guests face. He kept
to himself the fact that the handsome
Beau Brummel had been paid by him
so much per week to make it pleasant
| for the young women so that they
might remain the season through.
OF course, it goes without saying
that all men who are gallant to the
ladies are not flirts. but it is just as
we'll for women to be careful of their
hearts, keeping them well in leash.

Fringe in Place of Lace.

On the edges of great many lunch
con sets and between-meal center
pieces fringe is used instead of lace.
OF course fringe has Always been used
more or less on dresses, but this fringe
is quite different from dress fringe.
1t is very narrow and many of the
patterns are quite elaborate and often
have thread of color running through
them, giving the effect of bead work,
while others resemble crochet. The
fringe is very pretty and it costs no
more and is just as easy to sew to
the material as lace. Fringe is most
appropriate for porch furnishings, es-
pecially when the pillows and table
covers are of chintz or cretonne. While
for summer curtains in a bedroom
nothing could be prettier, as the white
fringe can be purchased with thread
of green, pale blue or pink running
through it, and when attached to white
curtains is very cool and summary in
appearance.

'Kerchiefs Drape Sports Hats.

The very latest trick of fashion is
to draw a huge silk kerchief across
the crown of the sport sailor, the knot
ted corners at either side reposing on
the hat brim. At back and front the
corners are tucked underneath the
folds es the drawn-across kerchief.
These spolse kerchiefs are of cotton in
gay bandana D. tterns and in crepe de
chine in BRILLIANT Eekst and japanese
effects. There are orange grounds
with japanese border designs in black
that are particularly stunning. One
of these orange-and-black kerchiefs

Judge her unheard. The problem of
the working girl whose path is beset
by dangers little dreamed of by the
majority of women offers a grave stu
alton for reimbursement. The women
who employ young, innocent, inexpe-
rienced girls in their households should
have their attention called TO the grave
error on their part of leaving such
girls in their homes unprotected while
they go off Summering. ''We are keep
ing the house open for my son." one

home young man friend TO pass a
few days with him now and then. but
young men are scarcely any trouble.
Annie may thank her stars that | do
not close up the house. which would
Oblige her to secure another place

1t would be a thousand times better
for many an Annie if they sought new
places rather than remain under such
conditions. especially if she has beauty
combined with innocence and an all
tOO-trustful nature. Many a youth is

pump offers many advanta ges over all

its adaptability to automatic or re-

water from mines and in similar in
