Why Buy Poison Beauty
Cosmetics At Fabulous
Prices To Kill FreckIes?
By MARY f. WALTER
Copyright. 1915. by NJ. f. waltsrJ

Miss Summer Girl, S50.00O,OO0
year is spent in this country for
cosmetics" Hal Wood said 20 his
pretty sister Annette a few days
after she returned from her vaca-
ton In the country. Dayiding that
sum among perhaps 20,o00,OO0 wom-
en- makes an average of $3.50 apiece
for beauty dope!
Annette had come home from the
country with a fiourishing crop OF
sfeckles and had rushed at once TO
a woman that made beauty prepare
tions for private customers and in
vested as follows:
Freckle lotion. 81; face balm, 81,
and poudre de riz, 80 cents; total,
$3.50
Following the directions the wo
man gave for the use of the lotion,
Annette bathed her freckles often
Before she had been home from the
country three days, her face broke
out in a rash that she said must
have come from some poison shrub.
Hal was a senior in college and,
as his sister expressed It, thought
himself smart" as does the usual
senior. Although Annette covered
her redness with a generous coat OF
the pOudre de riz, Hal began to
bet her she got the rash out OF a
bottle instead OF in the woods, and
''snooped" about her dresser till he
discovered the lotion. Despite An
nette's protestations that she had
given Madame Louise a whole dol
lar for the precious fluid, Hal took
generous sample to the chemical
laboratory for examination
That foxy old madame that
makes freckle lotion for private Gus
toners doesn't label her dope and
barely escapes the penalty OF the
food and drug act" he said next
day She ought to be arrested. The
main elements in that stun you are
daubing on your face is mercuric

ication, which plays havoc with your
internal anatomy.
IF that sly old girl would cheat
you on freckle lotion, better let me
examine your face balm and poudre
de riz, too"
Reluctantly Annette gave her sen
Tor brother a tiny sample OF the
balm and the powder for which she
had paid 81 and so cents respeo
lively.
Say, sis" said Hal when he re.
turned from examining the samples,
that exquisitely scented poudre de
riz that you paid for at the rate OF
about 81 pound is corn starch pure
and simple and cost the madame

Grandmother Has Come Back.

For every summer, stretching back
through the decades, always and al
ways there has been a new crop of
summer girls with each succeeding
summer! The 1916 girl is not like unto
the 1915 girl, and, again, the 1917 girl
viii be different from the 1916 girl.
This last is in the nature of prophecy,
but 1T is safe and sure prophecy. They
differ, these successive outputs of sum
mer girls, but in a way that is less
than skin deep. 1t is all in the clothes
and the way of coiffing the hair, ac-
cording to veracious masculine OBJ
server who bases his conclusions upon
a close range inspection of 20 crops
of summer girls.
And even in the matter of clothes
and hair arrangement the summer girl
simply reverts TO an antique idea. The
hoopskirt-the expanded crinoline-is
the up-to-date idea, but also it is q re-
uaissance of period back in the last
century. When grandmother was
summer girl she was a hoopskirt girl !;
also she coiffed her hair carefully down
over her ears. Grandmother has SIM
ply come back and she is just as
sprightly and lovely as she was fifty
years ago.-Ba1timore American.

CAUSED DEMAND FOR HATS
How 5oer Trader introduced Fash.
ion Among South African Ma
tives, and Made Money.

1t is said that one De Villiers, a
Boer, was the man to introduce hats
among the South African natives, and
that profit, not philanthropy, was his
motive.
1t appears that, CHANGING to come
across a consignment of damaged hats
in Port Elizabeth, which were offered
for mere song, De Villiers bought
the whole lot, packed them away in
his wagon and started for KaffirIand.
When he reached Tembuland he un-
loaded his stock, opened his kegs of
liquor, without which no trade was
made at that time, and began bust
ness. But he found his venture likely
to prove an Improbable one The ma
tives did not want hats; they wanted
blankets and beads and looking
glasses, and, above all, liquor, but
they looked askance at hats. Then a
bright idea came to De VilIiers. He
wanted to introduce those hats. His
simple expedient was to refuse to sell
anything to Kafir unless he bought
a hat also. The Kaffirs wanted his
goods, so they bought the hats.
When a Kafir buys anything he
feels bound to make use of 1t. The ma
lives, therefore, donned their head
gear and returned to their kraals.
Now appeared the brilliancy Of the
traders idea. Fashion rules the
world. 1t is as strong in Africa az
in America, and when those who
stayed at home saw the travellers re-
turn In all the glory OF this strange
covering they felt behindhand and old
fashioned. Their desire to possess the
latest thing in hats became intense.
They paid De Villiers visit, and his
stock no longer hung heavy on his
hands. The hats were soon sold.

seismosraphs to Find Batteries.

Among the many things to which
science has turned its attention and
abilities since the beginning of the
European war, none, perhaps, has
been of greater Importance than the
development of some means by which
men in the trenches could locate with
fair accuracy the position of an OPP
posing battery or group of machine
guns. This matter has been worked
on in many ways, but the nearest sci
ence eyer came to solving the propo-
sition was the use of strong glasses
with the aid of observation balloons
and aeroplanes.
Now, however, a new development
has been announced, in which the seis-
mograph, long known as an earth
quake detector, is made use of. It is
declared to be possible to tell from
