He did nothing more, and he was wise; the association was wise in having as it's representative one who was not carried away by the pomp of the ceremony into adding words Of sympathetic understanding to those which the others had spoken in glowing terms.
 Good will come to the United States because she wanted to do this work and to do it in way that would assure the greatest help to the great est number. There was no ulterior motive-no desire to ingratiate her self with Russia.

IT'S ALL OVER NOW.

In spite of reformers quick will be the death of smoking and drink ing among women when the facts be- come known-facts ascertained in Paris, popularly believed to be the home of the fire with which it is dangerously fascinating to play.
 For Hear Ye, Hear Ye: Boards and mustaches are increasing alarmingly among women annually; statistics show that eleven per cent of inmates of hospitals (women) are afflicted with abnormal growths of hair on their upper lips and chins, and 27 per cent of the women inmates in insane asylums are bearded and mus tached.
 And the physicians say these facts are the result of the increase in the use of cigarettes and alcohol among women.
 Alas, moreover, the American Ex- peditionary Force introduced the more general habit of cocktail drink
  partially to blame for the awful state of affairs-for who could refuse tc have a cocktail with an. American Expeditioner. especially if he were a handsome cuss?
 Paris society is appalled,; beauty doctors rave. The latter say tha complexion adjusters have been usec to remove the superfiuous hair, anC have sometimes proven so bad il their effects that the complexion i ruined. The roots of the hair hav' disappeared in such cases but par Of the face has gone with them Beautiful-formerly beautiful womel and now trying to make matter better by having the outer epidermi removed entirely in the hope o bringing out once again fresh, neV skin.
 The situation is distressing. Tobac co means little to the beautiful wom an, liquor means little as compare with that radiance of complexion, tha softness of skin which to man is mor soothing than tobacco, more intoxi eating than liquor.
