CONFESSIONS

Evidently Dick has told Jim
that | have gone insane, for last
night at Eliene's Jim took me
roundly to task for being so I'M

everything but the moments

Good old Jim, I confess, little
Harry called up Dick last week
and said he was going to give
dinner to his campaign commit
tee and that at the same time
Eliene was going to entertain
some of her women friends.
II am going to give my stag
dinner at the club and Eliene will
give her feminine affair at home.
Later we men will go over to the
house and dance a little"
l rather laughed when Dick
told me about it, for l could not
just see how the wife of Michael
Weaver was going to mix with
Eliene's friends and yet she would
resnt very much If she were not
among those present, for Weaver
is an influential member of the
peoples committee.
| called up Eliene and asked
her what she was going to do
about 1t. IL was just going to
come over and see you, Margie,"
she said.

swered, "I'll come over there on

On my way over | ran across
Annie and little Margaret Ann
and took them into the car.
"Shall I take you home, An

going to have a party and wants
me to tell her something, ! don't

Fine. / too am going over to
Mrs. Symone's. She wants to
consult me also about her party"
Little Margaret Ann is won
derfully pretty child, with that
gloriously beautiful complexion
and skin that is usually an Irish
heritage. She is also a graceful
little thing. and because of her
association with Eliene's children
she has the poise of the daughter
of an aristocrat rather than the
child of a policeman. l looked at
her with great admiration.
Eliene's little girl il really
growing very plain. She is good
child, but she has neither Harry's
good looks nor Eliene's grace.
When Annie and | arrived and
Margaret Ann was sent up to the
nursery, Eliene preached her
plan.
"You know Harry IL going to
ask a good many of his friends
to that dinner, as well as the men
from the different wards who can
help him. My idea IL to invite
the wives and swecthearts Of all
those men here. ! want to think

Annie'g lips began to widen In

Beauty at 40-and beauty at
30 means beauty as long as one
1ives-is much more than skin
deep.
You can dope" your COM
plexion with cosmetics and emol-
lients until the sides OF your
pocketbook stick together, but IL
you have not something within
yourself, something which shines
from the inside, your skin will be
apt to be like parchment or else
gray and ''linery."
And this intangible something
which always means beauty, or
the lack of 1T, shows itself more
in the eyes and mouth than any
other features Of the face.
Beauty in the eyes does not
mean large eyes or small eyes,
gray eyes or blue eyes, or any
other color of eyes; it only insists
that the soul that looks out of
these windows shall be striving to
make others happy and that the
mouth shall show the sympathy
and charity of a woman who,
after living four decades, knows
that all of life is good.
Almost every woman abuses
her eyes.
II is not enough to wash the
lids when you do your face. You
must use an eye cup every morn
ing filled with weak solution OF
boracic acid. This will keep the
edges OF the lids smooth and allay

mended 10y the Department of Conser-
walton and Development, and the legis-
lature will probably adopt the recon-

the minds Of the people of that section.
They see that they perpetrated a
stupid blunder i'll refusing a sectional
boon which Essex, Hudson and Pas

fishly voted to give to them, as North
Jersey representatives in the Legislature
had as unselfshIy voted to give the
costly inland waterways to South
Jersey at the expense of the state.
But what benefits one section of
New Jersey must eventually benefit
all sections. The prosperity of one
means the prosperity of all. The cities
and towns at this end of the state know
by experience the vital importance of
public control of the watersheds and
the water supply, and therefore they
favor the acquisition by the state of a
watershed that will provide for all the
future for the needs of the municipali-

AUBURN.
Mexico---Looking Backward

Mr.. Taft, about to retire and not
liking the notion of grasping the bloody
hands OF Hureta, passed the recogni-
ton question over to his successor.
The ConstitutiOnalists of Mexico flew
to arms, and after a protracted struggle
demonstrated that not only the moral
but the material forces of the country
were with them.
President wilson, looking beneath
the weller of an anarchy in which
Mexico was involved, saw the great
principle at stake. He saw, OIL the
practical side, that the time had passed
when a dictator could hope to keep
Mexico peacefully in order, and that
for the United States to intervene to
establish order meant to arouse nation
alistic feeling that meant probably 10
years of war. So he concluded that
the thing to do was TO give Constitu-
tionalism in Mexico the moral support
of our Government. This he has stead
lily done, although at times it has been
difficult to decide who were the princi-
pal body of the Constituencies.
The policy was a big and broad one
so big aud broad that not IA few Ameri-
ans have been unable to understand
it. But the President has stuck with
admirable frmness. At last the policy
seems to have won. 1t is not impossi-
Bile that some day it will be as fashion
able to praise the Wilson Mexican
policy as recently it has been ia shion-
able to denounce it. II peace, real
peace, has been established in Mexico
GU a Constitutional basis the IOO.year
struggle of Mexico for liberty under law
has triumphed.
incidentally, the Presidents Next
al policy has already brought collater-
al benefits. 1t has greatly strengthened
the United States in every Latin-Am-
erican country. 1t has set a precedent
that will be in the way ween future
efforts are made to induce our Govern
ment to go into the conquering busi-
ess.
