Lemon. Skin Beaches.

At this time of the year there Is
great demand for skin bleaches to re-
move the last traces of vacation sun
burn Many such preparations can be
purchased ready made and some OF my
readers have asked me to recommend
the best of these. I cannot comply
with such requests, however. since 1t
is contrary to my policy to do So
There are a number of good bleaches
on the market from which to make
selection.
Homemade skin remedies for tan and
freckles are easy to prepare and may
be mixed with simple ingredients
Those with a lemon base are among
the best While undiluted lemon juice
is too strong for the skin. it makes a
harmless but effective bleach when
combined with other substances. For
example, fine bleach for darkened
necks, arms and hands may be made
of the strained juice of two lemons,
two ounces gelatin, four ounces rose
water and one-half teaspoonful borax
After the skin has been cleansed at
bedtime it should be dried carefully
before the lemon lotion is patted on.
Allow the bleach to remain on until

SUB ROSA
A Skyscraper Viewpoint.

The higher we 60 upward from the
earth, the more interesting 1t looks.
AS seen by the angels, it must appear
as a paradise. If distance lends en-
chantment to the view, elevation puts
the finishing touch on 1t. Then the
street and pavement seem glorious, and
even horses and men with derbies look
poetical.
Look down from the window of the
average skyscraper and you're in for a
fine sight, so fine that you can save
the money you would spend at the
movies. There humanity is a mass
milling around the corners like cattle,
buzzing like bees around hive, which
may be cigar store, and moving on
ward in currents as though driven by
the wind which sweeps through the
city canyons.
It's some sight. but I must not wax
poetical or I'll lose the idea I have
in mind. What have in my bonnet
is this-that every single individual In
that mass of drifting democracy is a
self-starting, self-steering person who
knows where he is going.
Follow the crowd" is the practical
rule when we are headed for a train
or a show. for the people generally
know where they ought to go. But
even with all this herding, massing,
milling and crowd-following. there is
an inevitable amount of individuality.
You feel that when you are one of the
helter-skelter crowd.
Now that's what makes the sky
scraper viewpoint thrilling. To see this
mass of folks you'd think they were
no wiser than cows or bees or sheep,
but if you watch them closely you'll
notice that now and then some one
person breaks through and goes to his
own destination.
That's what makes human being in
distinction from mere creature. The
thing to do in life is to find your
destination and hike to it. I don't
mean merely place to sit down, but a
sort of goal or port, place to aim
at. For there is natural tendency to
follow the crowd and do as the rest
are doing.
OF course, when we live In a BOOM
ing, busy world where there are plenty
of other people. we can't assume that
we, individually, are the only pebbles

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Saturday, September 20.

Many adverse influences are strong
tomorrow, according to astrology. which
reads in the stars warning to be eau
tious while this planetary rule prevails.
The mind may be open to many pes
,imistic suggestions tomorrow which
may bring misgivings and fears. 1t Is
an unfavorable time :or making deci-
sions.
Under this sway the worst Is always
expected. 1t is an suspicious day for
spreading evil report. especially regard
ing political candidates, but libels will
serve as boomerangs, it Is foretold.
Those who seek employment should
postpone unless they are strong to meet
disappointment, astologers warn.
Persons who have power to bestow
favors probably will be hard to please
at this time, when the stars seem to
encourage criticism and pessimism.
Egotism thrives under this sway.
Again the seers foretell surprises in
the national political campaign and
sensations as November approaches, but
they prophesy that only good Is to re-
suit from the votes of the people.
Business organization will be- devel-
oped along many novel lines, 1t is fore
told, and prosperity will be widespread
in the new year.
Astrologers read in the stars warning
that men and women will think &C
cording to standardized rules, and they
counsel independence in intellectual
matters.
Books and magazines that reflect the
best thought are to gain in popular
favor, it is foretold, and new writer's
will gain large audiences.
Aviation is to make tremendous
strides this Autumn. it is forecast, but
several terrible accidents are prophesied.
Since the air has been conquered,
the next explorers will turn to the
occult. if the stars are rightly read, and
science will solve mysteries hitherto
considered beyond the human ken.
Material and spiritual worlds will be-
come equally we'll understood in the
coming decades, the seers prognosti-
cate.
Women are to reach place where
they comprehend their highest possi-
bilities, it is foret3!G. and they will f1rd
in age-old responsibilities their best at
tainments.
I Persons whose birth date is tomorrow
may reach crises in their lives In the
coming year which will bring great
happiness. They should listen TO ex-
pert advisers.
Children born tomorrow have the
augury of eventful careers. Thes' sub
jects of Libra often seek public service
and attain highest places. They are
likely to be unusually attractive in ap-
pearance, and generally their eyes are
exceedingly beautiful and expressive.

of festivities followed. Then Jefferson
set off with his bride to Monticello,
where he planned to build the mansion
which would give Virginia lone perfect
sample of architecture"
Snow which covered the ground grew
deeper as they reached the mountains
near Charlottesville. They had to leave
their chaise and continue on horse.
They reached Jefferson's house to find
it dark. His slaves had concluded the
bridal couple were not coming and had
gone to bed.
jefferson built a roaring fire and
flooded the house with light. He
brought wine. Soon their laughter
ney was forgotten.
Martha ,Wayles was the sort of
woman who could live up to an adven-
ture like this. She was frank, warm
hearted, impulsive.
Life moved off on an even keel. The
happy lovers spent most of their hours
planning the beauties of Monticello.
Then babies began to come, and with
them sorrow.
It is strange that a man and woman
so splendidly endowed physically should
have had weakly offspring OF their six
children only two survived infancy
Martha, the first born, who came in
the Autumn of 1772, and Mary, the
| fourth.
Mrs. Jefferson's health had been de-
clining, and her sixth child born in
| 1882, cost her life. For four months
she fingered, while Jefferson lived in
| terrifying suspense He took mis- regu-

ately she would recover. 1t was useless.
| With the end at hand, Mrs. Jefferson
gave calm directions about many things
she wanted done when she was gone.
But when she reached the subject of
Martha and Mary she was overcome.
| At last she found her voice.

he murmured brokenly.
He could not bear to watch the ebb-
| ing of that life which was so precious
to him. He was led staggering to his
library, where he collapsed insensible
on the floor.
For three weeks he endured an agony
of grief. Martha, not yet 10, remained
almost constantly with him, striving
4 with childish love to comfort him.
Gradually the paroXysm passed He
resumed the burdens of existence.
But he never married again.

The wife of Thomas Jefferson is but
a faint shadow in the background of
what most of us know of the great
statesman Yet his romance with
Martha Wayles is one of the most beau
tiful and most tragic in American his
tory.
1t began with an accompaniment of
whimsy and ended in deep gloom.
Martha Jefferson did not live to see
her husband President of the United
States. But dying she held him to her
as irrevocably as if she had remained
to Irvine her living arms about him.
One suspects parental management
In the first meeting of the Jeffersons.
Thomas was a rising member of the
Virginia bar at Williamsburg. John
Wayles, father of Martha, also was a
lawyer, wealthy and influential. His
residence, The Forest, was one of the
finest around Williamsburg. Doubtless
he saw in Jefferson, himself wealthy
and with bright future ahead, a de-
sirable husband for the daughter, and
took the young man home to meet her.
Martha Wayles met Jefferson as Mrs
Martha Shelton. Girls married young
In those days. She had been welded to
Bathurst Shelton and widowed before
she had passed %. She was childless.
jefferson found her tall, slender
young woman, whose luXuriant auburn
hair set off beautiful face, brilliant in
color and expression. He presented to
her a. tall. we'll knit man, with the
strength of a giant, who was rapidly
outgrowing youthful LONELINESS.
They were well mated physically, but
even more suited mentally and spiritu-
ally. She had been far better educated
than most girls of her day, liked poetry,
played well on the spinet and sang
beautifully. jefferson, who ardently
loved poetry, was no mean violinist.
They spent many delightful evenings
with their music. She played the spinet
and sang for him or accompanied him
when he played the violin.
Jefferson had rivals for her hand.
The story goes that two of them chal-
lenged him to test of her preference
On a Summers evening the trio
journeyed to The Forest. While the
other two waited outside, Jefferson went
in to propose. If successful he was to
play his fiddle, which was always at
The Forest. Silence from the man.
sion meant the others would be left to
fight 1t out.
But jefferson was much in love and
had lost his youthful bashfulness. Soon
the waiting SWANS heard his violin.
With it rang out the happy voice of
Mrs. Shelton singing.
Our jig is up" said the quondam
rivals. departing in gloom.
