In the second stage the redness be-
comes permanent; the capillaries are
much distended, making a red network
over nose and cheeks, and there may
also be pimples. The third stage is very
disfiguring, as it causes swelling of the
affected parts. especially of the nose, as
well as roughness and redness.
Suitable treatments for acne rosecea
should be prescribed by a physician,
who will give advice on diet and health
habits in general. Some cosmeticians
are trained to give local treatments for
the condition under doctors orders.

the trouble.
Proper care involves attention to diet
and avoidance of constipation. Plenty
Of leafy and succulent vegetables should
be eaten, such as spinach, lettuce, cab
bage, beet green's, tomatoes, string beans,
carrots, beets, etc. Fruits should be an
other important item in the bill of fare.
Starchy foods and meats should be
eaten very moderately. Rich pastries,
spicy foods, fried foods, sweets and slim
ulating beverages must be barred Six
or eight glaSsfulS of water should be
drunk daily.
Regular outdoor exercise should not
be neglected. In fact. anything that
contributes to the building of robust
health is helpful In curing the skin dis
ease we are considering. Special treat
nlents for the face should be included
In the daily regimen.

Arthur. At the conclusion of the simple

Alan, approached his father, and, laying
one arm on his shoulder, kissed him.
Two days later President Arthur again
took the oath at the Capitol in the
presence of members OF the cabinet,
Senators and other Government digni-
taries For the first time in history, two
ex-Presidents, Grant and Hayes, were at
the ceremony.
The Nation was In mourning for
Garfield and there were no inaugural
festivities or social events at the White
House for several months.
Six feet tall, broad shouldered and
handsome, President Arthur was de-
scribed as "a man of courtly bearing.
fine dress and artistic tastes" A CO.
temporary wrote: I'm Gen. Arthur we
have a new type of man in the White
House. There have been Presidents of
all kinds. We have had stately Vir-
ginia gentlemen of the old school and
self-made men from the West.
Eve have had soldiers of several
varieties, rural statesmen and frontiers
men, but the city man, the metropolitan
gentleman, the member of clubs-the
type that is represented by the well bred
and well dressed New Yorker--the quiet
man who wears scarf and pin in it
and prefers a sack coat to the long
tailed frock coat pervading politics, and
a derby hat to the SLOUGH that seems to
be regarded in various quarters of this
Union as something no statesman should
be without-this is a novel species of
President.
1.-THE manner of life at the White
House Is what might be expected under
the circumstances. It Is probably more
in accordance with metropolitan ideas.
The entertainments are elaborate and
elegant. The dinners. so some say who
have survived dinners with a series of
administrations, were never so good !;
and not only diplomats, but other people
receive the full allowance of wine and
the entire variety prescribed by social
law"
On September 81, 1881, the name of
Kalakaua Rex "his olive tinted majesty
Of the Sandwich Isles" adorned the
register Of the Arlington Hotel In Wash

glory in America his majesty was the
envy of the Beau BrummelS at the
Capital. Setting of his brown skin, he
had black, curly hair and sported a
mustache, goatee and side whiskers.
When he called on President Arthur he
wore a plain black suit, plug hat and
boiled shirt besides displaying other
emblems of continental civilization"

WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO

sense of beauty. There is variety
enough to suit all tastes and all def
nitions of beauty.
In these busy times we fall for any
device calculated to save us time. We
want the editor to do our political
thinking for us and the magazine
writer's to supply us with ideas and the
makers Of cards to express our senti-
ments on any and all occasions
The Christmas card has solved the
problem of avoiding useless gifts and
introduced more cheer into the holiday
season.
Every year sees an enormous increase
in the number of cards we send to our
friends. Perhaps the time will come
when private correspondence will al
most cease to exist. The ambitious
makers Of greeting cards are invading
new fields all the time. Soon we may
expect to have ready-made card mis-
siVes for all occasions, from proposing
marriage TO collecting bills. And why
not?
We use hundreds of seasonal greet
ing cards because we are lazy and be-
cause we find them useful and attrac-
tive. They meet real psychological as
well as an economic need.

There were no signs of life. Shutters
covered the windows. On the door was
n printed sign indicating that German
officers had been billeted there.
The Frenchman crossed the road and
with shaking hand pulled the bell. No
one answered. Still staring at the closed
shutters. he backed away like a man in
a trance. He backed until he reached
our car. against which he leaned, pale
and trembling.
Suddenly the door swung open and
an aged woman servant appeared
She was leading a beautiful baby girl
with wealth Of golden curls.
The officer threw out his arms and
took one quick step toward his child,
and then he halted. The tot had
jumped back behind nurses ample
skirts and was peeping out in fright.
Mother undoubtedly had told her many
times during the German occupation
that men in uniform were bad and to
be avoided. The field blue of France
meant nothing to this child who had
been all her short life under German
rule. Our passenger was stranger to
his own flesh and blood, and he was
under grave suspicion.
The half-blind eyes of the old nurse
had by this time recognized the master
and she was holding out her hands TO
him and repeating monsieur. monsieur
over and over in ecstasy. He crossed
and grasped her hands But his baby
drew back still further behind the pro-
tecting skirts.
The door at The end of the long hall
opened and comely young matron
came through to see what was going on.
When she was halfway along the
passage she caught sight of her hus-
band on the sidewalk. She stopped;
her hand few to her breast, and she
swayed for second as though she were
about to fall. Then with sobbing cry
of JOY she fairly hurled herself into his
arms.
Our motor was already moving away,
for outsiders weren't needed to COM
plete the scene. Thus we left them,
with nurse beaming on the happy cou-
pie; and Curly Head looking with
round. troubled eyes at this strange
man who had appropriated her mother
so completely without word
But couldn't help looking back, and
my last glimpse Of the picture showed
Curly Head gradually emerging from
the folds of nurses skirts-a tentative
overture of friendship.

Everyday Psychology

Play and Work.

RAY ana Work.
In restaurant the other day over
heard two men talking earnestly about
the nuts" in laboratory. The point
under discussion was that the majority
of these highly endowed men cared for
nothing about the salaries they received.
1t was said that they might all receive
much greater rewards for their labors II
they went in for commercial work. But
these nuts" wanted only to work by
themselves for 1.-The play there was
in it,
What is play? What is work? The
difference Is a. state of mind. If the
play attitude could be injected into
ones daily work there would be no
strikes, no great labor overturns.
According to Herbert Spencer, the
famous British philosopher of the last
century, play is release of surplus
energy. There's truth In that theory,
attested by the fact that the nuts" who
play at their work are the very ones
who make the big advances in their re-
spective fields of labor. They are those
who are able to release energies that
the average worker knows nothing
about. Einstein and Edison will do for
examples.
According tc the late G. Stanley Hall,
one of Americas foremost psycholo-
gists, play is Renaissance of the past.
BY this he meant that we all tend to
play at the same occupations that our
ancient ancestors worked at. So in
play we release the energies that have
been slumbering for centuries in the
form of emotions.
Fishing is about the oldest of occu-
pations. Hunting is close second
While these are still matters of work for
some people they are matters of play
for many more. There is a connection
between them as forms of work and of
play. The connection is always on the
emotional plane of mental life.

When making vegetable salads from
cooked vegetables, 1t will be found that
they will have a better flavor If they
are marinated or allowed to stand in
mixture of seasoned lemon juice or
vinegar and oil for at least half an
hour before serving. This applies only
to cooked vegetables. This crisp raw
ones or lettuce or any of the other
salad green's should not come in contact
with the oil or dressing until the salad
Is ready to serve, otherwise they will
lose their crispness and become limp
and flabby.
A recently published cook book lists
80 different kinds Of green vegetables
that are cooked in 200 ways. The aver
age family table boasts perhaps at most
quarter of that number and even this
may be large estimate. We become
used to four or five kinds of green
vegetables and serve them endlessly and
almost always in the same way. Then
we wonder why the family sometimes
refuses to eat them.
Become acquainted with the green
vegetables on the market stands and
use more Of them. Among those that
are available in the Summer are arti-
chokes, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage,
corn, celery, Swiss chard. chicory, GU
cumbers, egg plant, endive, escarole
kholrabi kale, lettuce, lima beans, okra,
onions, peas, peppers. radishes, romaine,
spinach, white and yellow crooked neck
squash, string beans, tomatoes and
watercress, How many of them do you
use?
Asparagus is one of the vegetables
that act on the kidneys. For the nor
NAL individual this is an advantage,
but those who have any form of kid
ney trouble should ask their physicians
advice before adding asparagus to the
diet.
Don't forget that the most important
food elements present in any one food
stuff are not necessarily those present
in the largest quantities. A potato, for
example. contains very large amount
of starch, but starch may also be got
from a number of other foods. such
as bread, cereal, rice, etc. On the
other hand, the supply OF mineral salts
In the potato is small but exceedingly
| important, and of nature that cannot
be got in many other foods.
Then. too. the potato has an alkaline
reaction when In the process Of diges-
| ton this vegetable is, burned; the ash
that remains is alkaline and as such
helps to neutralize acids present. This
is one of the chief reasons for using
potatoes In tha diet.

Who Did That

The classroom was tensely silent. It
had been rather a trying morning.
Class A had been noisy in the corridor,
and the patrol had sent in note.
Their program in the auditorium had
not been of the very best. The soloist
upon whom the program had depended
was absent, and the chief speaker had

The arithmetic lesson had gone badly.

Nobody said a word.
Very well. All you class AS are 60

O'Clock, and you're all going to have
I'VE dement's apiece. If you will not
keep silence as a class, you'll take the
consequences as class" Miss Sara
was logical.
Big Bill HawS rose in his place at
the far corner of the room and said:

of curtailing profiteering by buffers,

It will have to be chalked down to

most exclusive social circles.
Prohteering is the most ancient ira
dition of the servants hall. 1t is con-
fined largely to those homes where the
staff of employees is SO large as to pro-
hibit the mistress of the house from
giving any personal supervision to the
kitchen and pantry forces.
