BEAUTY CHATS
Notes From Paris.

I have lust come back from Paris
where there is very little that Is new

houses that make creams and astrtn-
gents and perfumes showed me moth
ing that we already do not know. and
few things that I did not see the last
time L went there.
But there are several points that
might interest readers--this time /
shall write but little about the Paris
trip. Perfumes are being sold In I'M
believable amounts. Perfume is good
this season, / was told-and the ex-
pensive perfumes that the smart
women buy are almost always an
exotic odor; few flower scents are
used And the really smart thing is
to have ones own special perfume
blend-which means to buy two TO
four odors and combine them oneself
in varying amounts.
Perfumes are more concentrated
than ever. so much SO that merely to

"Old Black Joe. y

In 1873 the celebrated German vio-
lniist, Herr Wilhelmj, then much in
vogue, arrived in New York, and one
Of his first errands was a visit to a
music store for an arrangement Of a
favorite American song which he
called "Black Jack" The clerks were
puzzled-the song was unfamiliar.
Was the gentleman sure Of the name?
Whereupon Herr Wilhelmj whistled
tune. The song was instantly forth
coming. 1t was "Old Black joe"
This famous negro ballad, which
has come down through the years and
is popularity sung today, is one Of the
compositions of Stephen Collins Fos-
ter, whose charming darby melodies
collected, it has been said, would form
en- epic of contemporary darby life.
They breathe the very spirit Of Dixie
land, and their author has been as
sumed by many to be Southerner.
The fact is, however, that Stephen
Collins Foster was born at Lawrence,
now a part Of Pittsburgh, Pa, and
lived all his life in the North. His
only connection with the South, Of
which he wrote SO Understandings,
was through the f1atboats on which
his father, a general merchant. set.
tied in Pittsburgh, dispatched goods
down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
to New Orleans. About twice a year
the elder Foster himself made the
trip with his goods and brought back
to eager young ears much of its ira
dition and local color.
When Foster, still under 20, wrote
in one of his best known songs,
Uncle Ned" the line His fingers
We're long like the cane in de brake"
he had never been below the Ohio
In that striking smile we have an
example of his genius for expression
and his very saturation In the local
color and the viewpoint Of the people
of whom he wrote.

CHAPTER XN.
Vigil.

Retty's case was an appendicitis
operation. When she arrived at the
hospital the patient had not been
brought down from the operating
room, but when at last he was car
ried into the room. still under the
influence of ether and mounting unin-
telligible phrases, she felt a sensation
of distaste that she had never expert
enced toward any patient. Was this
ame dreary routine to be hers al
ways? She felt tonight us if she
hated 1t.
And, later when the man came out
OF the ether and began to moan with
pain, although Betty ministered to his
wants with her usual precision and
exactitude, she was disda inful.
Her thoughts were chaotic. Each
time the patient. who was a middle
aged man, would moan, she would
say to herself:

AS is usual after an aneSthetic has
been administered, the patient kept
asking for water. II seemed to Betty
that five minutes after she had ex-
planned that he couldn't have it, he
would ask again. and at last she an

Then because she was ashamed OF
herself. she brought Il cooling Solu

The gray hours went on and on In
terminably. Each time that Betty con
suited her wrist watch. it seemed in
credible that SO little time had passed
She had never been so tired and Sc
disspirited. She had never cared SC
little about a case. Usually she was
alert and Vigilant.
Tonight she felt as if her feet had
weights on them.
Toward dawn the patient fell into a
heavy sleep. and when at : o'clock. the
daV nurse came to relieve her. It was
a terrific effort for Betty to get out
Of her uniform and into her street
things.
Although IT was an extravaganza

ate ones are expensive, but there are
burners for all purses and tastes.
The favorite place for the incense
burner is on the mantelpiece shelves,
bookcase lodges, dressing table tops,
etc. Burners vary in kind and shape,
and the faint blue smoke of the in
cense may curl from the lap or head
or mouth of green-bronZed idol,
Buddha, animal or what not
Incense burners make attractive
gifts. There's an advantage in giving
them. in that you can spend what you
choose on the burner. the price of
the cone being almost always the
same.
Incense is very low in price. and if
YOU wish to have one real luxury this
may suit your taste and your purse
alike. 1t always has the same frag-
rance, no matter how humble your
burner may be. When you buy in
cense, remember that A delicate in
cense is usually the most satisfactory.
A suggestion of a scent is more de-
lightful than a flood of it.
Incense has a practical use. too. In
sick rooms it dispels the odors of med
icines and stuff. When something
has burned in the kitchen stove and
the fact is apparent in your dining
room, incense will clear away the
atmospheric evidence. Wherever you
wish to substitute a pleasant for an
unpleasan odor you can burn incense
with good effect.

Your Baby and Mine
BIT MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
All-Important Sleep.

The tiny baby should do nothing
but eat and sleep. with one scant
hour out for his bath time. In order
to start regular hours of sleeping and
eating, he should be Weakened at his
regular mealtimes, nursed and then
put back to bed. He can't get toe
! much sleep, SO don't keep him awake
for fear that he will sleep too much.
Up to years of age a baby car
go to sleep at night at the same hours
as when he was an infant, only that
he will have fewer nap periods. For
the latter half Of the first year he will
take a nap both morning and after
noon, but when he is year old he
will likely take his long nap right
after his midday meal instead of. az
formerly, after his bath. But his bed
time should be the same-6 or
o'clock.
If a baby Is never taken up to be
admired by friends and relatives; II
when he is little he is never taken
out at night with his parents while
they attend social functions, visit
friends or so to the movies. he will
never expect to stay up. 1t is the
fault of the parents always if chill
dren refuse" to sleep until 10 or II
o'clock.
1t is because part of the time, for
their own amusement. they have
broken a childs regular sleep periods.
and after this he refuses to be bound
down to them.
Nothing is so essential for a child Is
proper development as plenty of sleep.
His school work will be better his
appetite improved and his health in
general better when he has a nap. or
at least rest period, up to 8 or 10
years of aga. This isn'Q half as hard
as 1t sounds. Children do outgroW
maps sometimes before they are g.
but they can still be induced to rest
at a regular time each day, and
knowing that they must rest is great
encouragement to them to go to sleep
Sometimes all a poorly nourished
nervous little child needs is more sleep
both day and night.

Are You Burning Incense9

How did we come to use incense in
our homes? Do you know? No. 1t
wasn't an Oriental idea brought back
by Yankee sailing captains. Some
mixed perfumes, flowers and balsams
caught fire in a druggists shop. His
customers were charmed by the odor,
and they insisted on buying some of
that incense" That druggists trade
grew until he became exclusively a
manufacturer of incense.
Odors arising from burning incense
resemble ordinarily the fragrance of

are put into the incense cones.
though, to make up that fragrance.
A few Of them are balsams, gums,
needles and tree leaves.
Incense is used by burning the lit
tie cones which contain the desired
scents. You can buy these cones in
variety of odors. such as lilac. rose,
honeysuckle and many vague ORR
entail fragrances. They burn very
slowly. giving off thin veil of smoke
which fills the air with the odor of
the cone.
OF course, incense is valueless with

Some experts now tell the world that

ago is wrong and that any pollen will
do it's devastating work on systems
not immune to the Irritating poison.
Tree buds in early Spring, and even
fruit tree blossoms, all the grasses
of Summer and the weeds and flowers
of Fall may be guilty of giving one

1t is believed that medical science
has made much Roadway against this
malady and that at some time all
people may be able 10 travel the coun-
try roads and walk In Summer fields
and Autumn woods with safety. Up
to the present the only relief which
many persons get is by going to some
part Of the land where there is little
pollen in the air or by going to sea.
Most persons are immune to the eff
fects Of pollen. They are lucky Max

that Twenty clinics In this city are
giving treatments for hay fever and
have immunized 1910 patients this
year" There is some comfort in the
assurance with which the statement
is made.
Perhaps it is inaccurate to set
down any part of the year as the hay
fever season, because the malady is
common in Spring, throughout Sum-
mer and seems to do its worst in
that part of the Fall before frost
forms. 1t is fair to say that late
Summer and early Fall are the parts
Of the. year when hay fever is at its
worst. There was a time when hay
fever was a mystery. Then wise
men settled that it was caused by in

dismissed as assistant commissary for

two years. This time limit is granted

If he is good he can return to office.
Zinovieff, however, is ousted per
manently. Others have been similarly
disciplined.
These happenings plainly indicate
that affairs in the Soviet government
are far from harmonious. But when
it is publicly announced that only
steel unity and the restoration of iron
discipline can rescue the Communist
party and Leninism from disrup-
ton. ii is plain that discord prevails
at Moscow. Zinovieffs methods of in
trigue were dramatic. He promoted

Gently in forest near Moscow, to
which only chosen members Of the OPP
position were invited. But evidently
the invitations were not issued with
entire success to insure secrecy. Prob
ably there were present at that meet
ing unofficial Observers from head
quarters. 1t is q we'll known fact that
the old.regime system of espionage
and counter.espionage by means Of
which the government kept in close
touch with all subversive movements
is being maintained by the Soviet. In
other words, the Communists do not
trust one another and are continually
alert to note evidences of disaffection
and plotting.
In these circumstances hope some
what revives that Russia may some
day, perhaps soon, be redeemed from
bolshevism through breakdown Of
the Soviet. The personal ambitions of
those who maintain the Communist
syndicate are its greatest danger.
