no professional has ever surpassed
and only Miss Margaret Owen has
eoualled. A lazy reporter had asked
her to give the interview that way.
Maybe you think you'd like TO be
lust eighteen, have big brown eyes and
be the fastest typist in this terres-
trial sphere. But think again! For
this is what Miss Hortense, as big as

saying:
"Typewriting is very much like any
other form of athletics. II you want 10

Admits Poor Service and Blames
Parcel Post

Boston, Oct. 17.--Confessing himself
aware of the inadequacy Of the pas
senger service offered by the New
York, New Haven g. Hartford Railroad
in Massachusetts,, Howard Elliott,
president of the road, asked the State
Public Service Commission to-day Tor
permission to raise the passenger rate
to 2a. cents a mile. He blamed the
parcel post for many delays to pas
senger trains.
at Is a sum in arithmetic" he said.
"The New Haven cannot pay out MILL
ions more each year for labor and ma
terials and have an adequate amount
for improvements while the revenue
remains stationary. Has not the time
come when Massachusetts, and its COM
mission should take hand IN con-
structive policy toward all railroads TO
help put them in first class condition,
not only in the interest of New Eng
land, but as well in that OF the un-
fortunate stockholders ?"
However it sounds, Mr.. Elliott had
not brought his troubles into court
entirely OF his own volition. His APP
pearance followed report by the com
MISSIONS chief inspector that the New
Ravens passenger schedules were FAR
from being reasonable or satisfactory.

APPLY POWDERS WITH CARE
Much Harm May Be Done to the Skin
II It Is Laid On Too Law
ishiy.

Many women whose complexion Is
blotchy, red and unclean looking, can
trace the source Of their trouble to a
superabundance of powder. Even the
best, purest powders on the market
will clog the skin pores, if applied too
heavily and often.
Powder was not meant to cover the
face so it looks as If the flour barrel
had been visited head first. It was in
tended as a means Of removing the
shine from the skin. Is there any,
thing more disgusting sight than a
woman with her chin and nose white
with powder? It seems that the wom-
en- who affect the headlight powder
system" have the largest noses, the
homeliest chins. OF course, the pow
der only focuses attention on these
features.
The tint of the powder used must
depend on the coloring of the user.
Blondes must use one color, brunettes
another, and according to the degree
Of fairness or darkness. Also for eve
ming use there are certain shades Of
powder which are much more becom-
ing than the tints most attractive in
the daylight.

HANDS REQUIRE MUCH CARE
Woman's Attractfveness Depends Z
Great Deal on Their Dainty and
Proper Appearance.

Beautiful hands are a sign of good
breeding, it is said, and certain it IL
that no one who neglects her hands
can expect them to look well. Only
regular attention and steady care
bring forth any results in identifying
the hands. The girl who works fol-
her living need not despair, however,
for IL she will devote a few moments
each night to her hands they will look
almost as well as those Of the lady OF
leisure.
Be careful first Of all as to how the
hands are washed-in tepid water is
the most satisfactory, for it is not too
cold to remove the dirt and not toe
hot to redden the flesh. Constantly
changing soap is very bad for the skin.
A good soap should be selected and be
used regularly without change. Be
sure that all the soap is off the hands,
then dry thoroughly, so that the flesh
is not left damp and moist.
Once month is none too often to
go to professional manicurist, but by
watching attentively how the work is
done, you may be able to do your
manicuring at home the rest of the
time. The monthly visit will Just
serve to keep the nails shaped rightly
if you do them yourself once or twice
a week. Invest in a good nail file,
some emery boards, cuticle scissors,
- no NH s4I~ 40
ish and some powdered pumice stone.
