Osaka, Sept. 1f.-An Eastern News
agency dispatch to the Osaka Asahi
from Toxic today says that many of
the hundreds of refugees gathered in
Ceno Park, Toxic, have committed
suicide as a result of hunger and
exposure.
The Imperial Hotel in Toxic, the
only refuge for foreigners in the cap
ital since the earthquake, has been
taken over by the military authori-
ties, who served notice Sunday that
all the japanese and foreign guests
must find other quarters.
The American and British embas-
sizes, however, were permitted to re-
tain their temporary offices, and
American Ambassador Woods and his
family continue TO reside there.
The foreigners who evacuated the
hotel and number of others living in
various parts of Toxic were taken
from the city in launches of the Amer
lean destroyer Whipple, which entered
the inner part of Toxic Bay on Sat-
urday. The Whipple is said to have
been the first foreign warship TO pass
the old Mud Fort off Shinagawa since
they were hastily erected to protect the
city from the expected visit of Com
modore Perry, 40 years ago.

Toxic, Sept. 11.-Fphus and

been established and the cremation of
bodies is proceeding night and day.
In various parts of Toxic thou
sands of bodies are being stacked for
cremation.
1t is said that approximately 100
0o0 refugees are leaving the capital
each day.

BEAUTY CHATS

Kent Forbes.

During the winter months you'll
need more cream on the face than
in summer. and you'll need another
sort Of cream If you've a dry skin.
The complexion seems to generate
more oil in warm weather and a
cleansing cream is enough. But in
winter something with vegetable oil
to nourish the skin is needed now
and then.
And whenever cream is used on the
face 1t should be rubbed well into the
lips. This helps to keep them soft
and nice looking. Lips that chap too
often become swollen and out of shape.
IAN ugly mouth is often the result of
, neglect.
Clare-There are too many uses for
toilet water to print in this small
space. You can spray it on the face
as an astringent, pour 1t into the bath
water to perfume it, use it as per-
fume or rub it over your skin after a
bath.
Anxious-Your complexion seems so
bad that only a strict course of diet
and treatments will help. Rub the
face with cleansing cream and wash
with hot water and soap, rinse with
cold water and apply little powder.

TONIGHT I'M GOING BACK TO

tonight"
Nothing that Peter or Mrs. Peter
could say could make him change his
mind Old Jed Thumper is an OBJ
stinate old fellow. What he makes
up his mind to do he does. He had
made up his mind to go back to the
Old Pasture, and go he would.
Late that afternoon Peter, who had
been in the Old Briar Patch so long
that he had grown uneasy, ventured
out on the Snow-coyered Green
Meadows. He was of more than half
a mind to run over to the Green
Forest He was sitting. back to the
dear Old Briar Patch some little dis
tance from it, trying to make up his
mind whether or not to go on. So it
was that he didn't see Old Man
Coyote come sneaking around from
the other side of the dear Old Briar
Patch. But Old Man Coyote saw
Peter, and at once began to steal
along so he could get between the
dear Old Briar Patch and Peter.
1t was Old Jed Thumper who dis
covered him. Now Old Jed Thumper
could have thumped a danger signal,
but 1t would have been too late. Old
Man coyote was already between the
dear Old Briar Patch and Peter. Old
Jed Thumper saw this. He didn't
thump. Instead. he hoped out Of the
dear Old Briar Patch right in front
of Old Man Coyote. He hoped out
just as if he didn't see Old Man
Coyote. But all the time he was
watching him by rolling his eyes
back.
Peter was some distance away. Old
Jed Tpumper was much nearer. Old
Man Coyote decided that it would be
much less trouble to catch Old Jed
Thumper than it would be to catch
Peter Rabbit. He crept forward
swiftly and noiselessly. Old Jed
Thumper began to go faster, though
not as If he were frightened or in a
special hurry. Old Man Coyote be-
gan to run. The instant he did so
Old Jed Thumper started off, bound
ing across the snow as only he can.
Just once he stopped, and that was
to thump danger signal. Peter
turned instantly. Then he started
back for the dear Old Briar Patch as
fast as his legs could take him. He
held his breath as he saw Old Man
Coyote spring at Old Jed Thumper.
But the latter lodged just as Peter
had seen him dodge Reddy Fox up in
the Old Pasture. Old Man Coyote
missed him. Old Jed Thumper lodged
again. And then he headed straight
back for the dear Old Briar Patch,
which he reached safely. He had
shown his gratitude to Peter by saw
ing his life. And that night went
back to the Old Pasture.

Not long ago l visited a small coun-

pretty room with sprigged muslin
curtains at the windows, a quaint
ruSh-seated chair or two and a four
poster bed covered with white
honeycomb spread. This uninterest-

in the room. When turned the COW

underneath the white spread was a
dear old patchwork quilt worked out
in one of the patterns which meant
SO much to our grandmothers.
The next morning i boldly ap-
preached my hostess and asked her
why she did not put this beautiful
old coverlet on the outside of the bed
in place of the prosaic modern
spread. he looked amazed and said
she had never thought of such a
thing. She said she liked the old
quilts. of which she had several in
the attic, but that she thought put

Henri of Navarro was one of the
leaders who established Protestan-
tism. He was originally Protestant
but when he married Marguerite he
was forced to change his belief for
Catholicism. 1t was at this time that
the terrible massacre of ST. Bar
tholomew's Eve took place, when
thousands Of French Protestants were
butchered on the streets and in their
homes. Henri shook off the faith he
had adopted as soon as he was able.
He then became the head of the
Huguenots and his activities have be-
como celebrated In story, play and
opera. Like many another great ruler,
Henri Nv died a martyr, assa ssinated

Chinese Way:

Almost every one who becomes ac-
quainted with Chinese in their native
land comments on each ones desire
in all places and under all conditions
to save his face. And the Chinaman
regards it as a necessary part or
good manners to permit others to
save their faces as the expression Is,
also.
To the American this sometimes
seems like superficiality and insin-
cerity. If we have any complaint
to make we like to give 1t straight
from the shoulder. However, there is
often an advantage in giving 1t 30
that the person to whom 1t Is given
may be able to save his face.
It Is often an advantage TO be able
to offer a criticism in a way that
makes 1t perfectly clear to the one
same time does not cause him the en-
barrassment that would be inevitable
were you to call him down severely.
The ability TO do this often means
success in handling employees. This
is espec'all" true of houseworkers
who, like the Chinese, like to save
their faces.
1t is said OF the Chinese that when
any one so far forgets the rules of
Chinese etiquette as to forget the
sensitiveness of the Chinese in this
respect. the courteous thing to do is
to behave as If the whole matter
was a Joke and unintentional. This
ia further evidence of the desire to
save ones face. And here is an
other excellent suggestion to us in
dealing with all sorts OF people. You
can often avoid an open ruption and
an embarra ssing situation IL, when
YOU have been upbraided in a way
that you are convinced is unjust as
we'll as unmannerly. you refuse to
take offense, refusing to take the
matter quite seriously. Quarrels
