Four girls heard of it yesterday and started dancing.
 Then some grown women got the news and headed for home.
 Not one of them spoke. The news was too big, too all-mportant, too tremen- dous for verbal comment It was some thing to be taken home and gioated over, like the first solitaire, or first baby, or the last payment on the car.
 C. B. Allison brought word of it from Chinatown, in San Francisco, and this is it:
 You can have the most delicate rose leaf-like. milk and peach color in your cheeks, and lips of that rare red the color of a pigeons legs, for life, with just one application
 It is development from Japan, and the strange part of it is that no one ever thought of it before, for the faint pink coloring blends with the complexion S milkier' tints even as nature achieves it. The thing hurts little the first day or

SAYS MEETINGS NECESSARY

New York, February 14.-The cabinet meetings called by Secretary lansing were necessary, if the na- tion's business was to proceed re- gularly," former Secretary of Com mercs Wm. c. Redfield declared in a statement here tonight. in which he ex- pressed the belief that "other causes, than the calling of the cabinet ses- sions by Mir Lansing Hay behind the Presidents request for his resignation
 ..The request for Secretary Lansing s resignation was a great surprise and shock to me" said MT. Redfield, who was member of President Wilson cabinet under MT. Lansing. The mem bers sent word to MT. Wilson through Dr. Graysen that they were meeting. and expressed hope that the President would have a speedy recovery.
 "Admiral Grayson brought back an inquiry from MT. Wilson as to what business was on hand, and the cabinet members replied that they had met in conference to determine their duty in view of his disability.
 No word of disapproval of our meet .ings ever came from the White House to the best of my knowledge. The cabinet gatherings were voluntary, in- formal, and to my mind, necessary. il
 the nations business was to proceed regularly and with intelligent knowl' edge of progPess made.
 T accept nNy share of responsibiHty for what was done. To my knowledge there was never the faintest sugges. ton in word or spirit that the cabine , members were trying to do anythins except help President Wilson durins l his illness as far as we were able, "Of course, ] eau speak only of wha happened up to the time of my with tdrawal from the cabinet. As the pub lished correspondence brings out an 1 forced to believe. that other cause. than the request by Secretary Lansing to his colleagues to meet for consulta ton lay behind the Presidents re

 tous disagreement with his Secretary of sStste caused less surprise than did the siu,e and manner of the final break be- tween them Privately many democratic senators expressed regret that the resig- naticn came just on the eve of another effort to ratify the treaty.
 Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska Some of tho irrecon cilables," said in & Statement the Secretary's resignation heen employed at the White House has been discharged too soon."
 Throughout the treaty controversy the Tendency of the republicans has been to exculpate MT. Lansing from any blame Mhat may have attached to the peace Negotiations, and when the Secretary ap- peared before the foreign relations com snittee last summer, there was said to be "a general understanding among repub- aican members that he was not to be <rrcss-examined or put into an embarraSs- sng position over questions about which he indicated that he was permitted by the President to know nothing.
