'Colleens of Old Used
Rouge of Berry Juice

Dublin, Feb. N1The colleen
has been criticized freely Of late for
her ready adoption of modern beau
~ accessories. but archaeologists
have discovered that her remote fe-
male ancestors also were fond Of
artificial adornments.
Centuries ago. Seamus Mccall,
scientist. has told Dublin women, the
women of Erin knew how to redden
their cheeks with berry juices and
to pink their finger-tips to add to
their natural charms.
But these ancestresses were not
mere trifiers or clinging vines, his
torical records disclose. Many Of
them won recognition A. musicians
and even as physicians, and in war
fare they were often found fighting
by the side Of their men. This mar
tial trait endured even down to tho
Sim Fem movement; there were
many women fighters and despatch
carriers in the bloody revolution Of
Easter week 1916.
