EX-SENATOR AGAINST
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
. Joseph W. Bailey Makes Address
Before Mississippi Society.

Former Senator Joseph W. Bailey,
of Texas, last night in an address
before the Mississippi Society at their
meeting in Confederate Memorial
Hall. 1922 Vermont avenue, urged
State rights and opposed suffrage for
women.
Mr.. Bailey said that the matter
OF prohibition should be thrashed out
in the State legislature and not in
Congress. Seventeen of the twenty
two Senators from Confederate States
are for prohibition. What right has
a man from New York to tell a man
from Mississippi that he should not
sell or use whisky?
Then il Congress passes the pro-
hibition it will next pass the suf-
frase amendment. There things are

Women Everywhere
Use Lemon Juice
To Beautify Skin

The beauty lotion which is be-
coming so popular throughout the
country is easily prepared by any
one, and a whole quarter pint of 1t
doesn't cost any more than a small
jar of the common, ordinary cold
creams.
Add the juice of two fresh lemons
to three ounces of orchard white
and shake we'll in bottle. Strain
the lemon juice two or three times
through a fine cloth SO no pulp gets
into the lotion, then it will keep
fresh for months. Regardless OF
what price you pay or how highly
advertized, there is nothing else
really more meritorious in beautify-
ing, softening and clearing the skin.
AS a tan and blemish remover, also
to remove oiliness and sallowness,
lemon juice has no rival. Massage
it into the face. neck and arms, once
or twice each day, and just see If
it doesn't bring out the roses and
hidden beauty
Lemons have always been used to
bleach the skin, but pure lemon
juice is too highly acid, therefore
should never be used except in this
manner.
If properly prepared, this sweet
ly fragrant lotion will speak for it.
self. Any drug store will supply
the three ounces of orchard white at
very lite cost, and the grocer will
supply the lemons.-Adv.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Here is a frock that will
interest every girl who sees
it. 1t is exceedingly smart
and it is exceedingly simple.
1t can be made with very
little difficulty and the braid
that is applied over a stamped
design, while it is one of the
very smartest trimmings, is
also one of the easiest to apply.
Here, it is brown soutache on
a natural colored pongee and
a very charming effect results,
but you could, of course, think
up numberless combinations for
yourself. For some purposes,
it will be we'll to use wool
jersey and wool jersey is ex-
ceedingly handsome trimmed
with soutache. For a distinctly
sports dress, you could use a
plain sports silk with the collar,
cuffs, pockets and belt of a
, flowered silk and omit the
trimming on the skirt. For a
dressy afternoon frock you
could use charmeuse and in
place of the braid you could
couch with a heavy silk thread.
1t is a very smart little frock
and it takes extremely be-
coming lines. Besides all the
other materials mentioned it
could be made of crepe de chine
and you could braid crepe de
chine with soutache or you
could trim it with bands of
taffeta or of satin as you like.
For the I6-year size will be
needed, 512 yards of material
"a inches wide and braiding
patterns Nos. o88 and o8e.
The dress pattern No. o454
is cut in sizes for 10 and Is
years. They will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Depart
ment of this paper, on receipt of
fifteen centsfor the dress, and ten
cents each for braiding patterns.

Chinese Resent Visit
of Jap. Mission Party

Nanking.-The visit of Lieutenant
General Tanaka. vice-chief of the
Japanese general staff, to China has
caused much comment. He went to
Tsing-tau and other points in Shan
tung province where the Japanese
have been charged by the Chinese
with helping revolutionists and in
other ways undermining Chinese au-
thority. Chinese officials extended
General Tanaka every courtesy at
Tsinanfu and other places of i'm
portance visited by him. He was en-
tertained at many dinners, before he
reached Nanking.
Chinese newspapers have COM
mented widely on the visit of General
Tanaka at a time when internal af-
fairs are so unsettled in the republic
and the anti-Japanese press has
made many bitter attacks on the mis-
sion, which was denounced as one
designed to cause further uneasi-
ness.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A WEDDING GIFT

JEAN Miss AIM <A-N.
I would greatly appreciate your sug-
gestion as to a suitable wedding gift
for a couple from a girl in moderate
circumstances.
This couple have met but once, but
they are very good friends of the
young man I have been going about
with, and planned to give something
myself, but some one suggested that
my friend and I give something to-
gether. Which would be the correct
thing to do?,
NJ. R.
If you and the young man make
your gift together the natural infer
ence must be that you are engaged.
If you object to this. offer separate
gifts. For two or three dollars you
can get a very handsome brides book,
which will be in perfectly good taste
and will be about the most attractive
Inexpensive present you can offer. You
will be able to purchase a Little piece
of silver or a pretty picture or per-
haps an attractive china sugar and
cream set can be bought for about the
same price as the brides book.
